Just in case you were wondering if Grey’s Anatomy was starting to flat line on the drama, its winter finale cliffhanger likely proved otherwise.
Filled with twists and turns, the season ten mid season finale featured a variety of surprising revelations and an ending that likely shocked even the veteran viewers.
[Warning: Spoilers Ahead]
The episode began mildly enough with April replacing her sisters as bridesmaids with Meredith, Cristina and Arizona. However, things started to get juicy when Meredith and Cristina had it out in a hurtful confrontation that seems like years in the making, and could lead to Cristina’s departure from the show.
Other major events in the episode include Derek receiving a call from the president, which could change his and Meredith’s lives forever, and Callie continues to try to help Arizona feel more comfortable in her prosthetic. Additionally, Shane confesses to Weber about his role in Brooks’ death.
Watch a promo for the episode here:
The biggest jaw-dropper of them all came at the end, though, naturally. After Jackson apologizes to Stephanie, he then proceeds to interrupt April’s wedding to Matthew to declare his love for the bride. He says:
βApril, I love you, I always have. I love everything about you. Even the things I don’t like, I love. And I want you with me. I love you, and I think that you love me, too. Do you?β
Alas, fans of the show won’t be able to find out if April ties the not with Matthew or leaves him standing at the altar, until the series returns on Thursday, February 27 on ABC.
Until then, read what the Twittersphere had to say about the finale:

You can see in Jackson's eyes the moment in which he understands that he's losing her forever. #GreysAnatomy #Japril
