In case you haven’t heard by now, a major death shook the foundation of Grey’s Anatomy. Tonight, the news spreads through Grey Sloan Memorial.
A schedule change late in the season for Grey’s Anatomy offers one less week of drama, but makes up for it with an extra hour in tonight’s episode. In the two-hour episode, “She’s Leaving Home,” Meredith and the rest of the hospital staff take time to mourn the loss of their friend and colleague.

No one wants to relieve last week’s episode, “How to Save a Life,” but here is a brief reminder of what happened. After rescuing four people from a car accident, Derek Shepherd attempted to head back home when a truck smashed into his car rendering him cognitively intact, but speechless. He struggled to hold on while doctors treated his abdominal wounds, neglecting to check his head. Their mistake left him brain dead and forced Meredith to pull the plug.
