So again, in Shondaland, time means nothing.  We're clearly on Jeremy Bearimy time here!

The season premiere said it's April 2020 - the pandemic hits Seattle.  There have been no significant time jumps, and in fact some episodes happened the very next day from the week before (Deluca's death, for example).  Didn't Meredith get sick in the first or second episode?  So it should have been April, first week of May at the latest that she becomes unconscious.  But Bailey was born in May, and she said they celebrated his birthday - all together.  Yet also in the April season premiere, she said she hadn't seen her kids in two weeks and was living in the hotel, same as Maggie, to keep them safe from the virus.  So, in conclusion, time means nothing, no one knows when it is, or how much time has passed - and THIS SHOW MAKES NO SENSE.  Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

As for the rest of the episode, it was pretty good.  Maggie's idea of sharing the ventilators was great, and based on my above conclusion, she could have thought of it in May 2020, or March 2021, or July 2025, or December 1994.  Who knows! 😂  I guess we'll pretend that maybe she thought of it simultaneously as the doctors in New York thought of it in the real world.  Winston can stay, he's cute, and makes her less annoying.

Speaking of annoying - thank you, Amelia, for explaining how therapy works to Teddy!  Maybe now Teddy will try again and also become less annoying too.

I wasn't a huge Lexie fan either, as someone else also noted above, but yes to seeing Mark again!!  He's still so hot.  I did immediately notice that Lexie went to push Meredith on the swing and touched her, so I thought it was foreshadowing that Meredith was a goner.  But then their talk about how it's all hard but you still gotta live anyway, changed Meredith's mind and she wants to live again?  I guess we'll see. 

Richard was cute when he was dancing and told Maggie she could get a raise for thinking of the ventilator idea.

Are the texts from Cristina some foreshadowing of a Sandra Oh guest return?  Hmm...  Though, on second thought, I've heard that she doesn't want to return, and they have the built in excuse - she can't travel from Europe during a pandemic.  So I won't hold my breath.
