ABC has released a new promo for Grey’s Anatomy season 10, episode 1 “Seal Our Fate” teasing Richard’s fate!

As previously reported, “Seal Our Fate” will pick up right where Grey’s Anatomy left off in season 9. Meaning that the super storm that hit Seattle is still raging. Luckily, thanks to Richard the electricity is back on in Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital. But there won’t be a shortage of drama in the season 10 premiere.

The Grey’s Anatomy promo picks up showing Richard laying unconscious in the basement. After getting shocked trying to fix the electricity – Richard never got back up again.

It then flashes to a shot of Derek pushing Richard on a hospital gurney – making us guess he’s still alive at that point. But then another scene shows Bailey warning Cristina, “He is going to die if we don’t do anything!” Which could actually be about any patient and not just Richard.

When Cristina yells back, “I own this hospital, you work for me” it looks like it could be the start of a reason for her exit. Could Cristina be forced to leave the hospital because owning part of it gives her too much power over the surgeons with more experience?

What might be the most important part of the promo comes at the end when Owen announces the time of death for a patient. Derek and Callie look devastated. But again – those clips could be out of context. Owen could be working on any patient.

Grey’s Anatomy season 10 will premiere September 26 with a two hour episode at 9 p.m. EST on ABC.

What do you think will happen to Richard in the ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ season 10 premiere?
