Every week, ships, A.K.A. relationships, are highlighted on our favorite TV shows. Which were your favorite partners and pairings this week?
Did your favorite ship sail this week, did a new one launch, or did yours sadly sink? If you love shipping, you know the drama that shipping wars bring. Your ships don’t have to be canon for you to love them, and that’s half the fun.
Remember, if we didn’t include your favorite, give a suggestion to the writer who usually covers your fandom in the recap discussion or in the comments below.
‘Grey’s Anatomy’ — All Aboard Maggie and Andrew
Passengers: Maggie and Andrew
Sunset Cruise: Meredith and Derek. Bailey and Ben. Alex and Jo: they are all great relationships, all interns and attendees. Now that Maggie has taken her desperation to the intern wading pool, how long will it be before she and Andrew DeLuca get past their awkwardness and into relationship territory?
Ship Status: This is one of those moments where that hot new speedboat looks all cool, and shiny, and new. And then you get water in your face, windblown, and bumped around. It may look good right now, but after a quick trip around the harbor, not so much.
‘Once Upon a Time’ — All Aboard OutlawQueen
Passengers: Regina and Robin
Sunset Cruise: Regina makes the ultimate sacrifice when a Fury threatens to reclaim Robin’s body to clear an unpaid debt of dark magic used in Camelot. Can these two have one week where the other is not sacrificing their happiness so that the other can live? Let’s just focus on them making out like a pair of hormonal preteens at their homecoming dance.
Ship Status: Despite the fact that torpedoes come at this ship from every angle each week, this ship keeps on going with the sheer will power and determination of the Captains. This week when they again came under fire, we had some assistance from neighboring vessel Snowing. Would anyone have predicted that season 1?
‘How to Get Away With Murder’ — All Aboard Michaela and Levi
Passengers: Michaela Pratt and Levi
Sunset Cruise: Michaela is non-orgasmic. Let’s say that again. Michaela admits to all the other students that she’s never had an orgasm. So, after dumping her fiancee, she’s on to the next ill-advised relationship with Rebecca’s foster brother. Hopefully, he can at least perform better than the last guy.
Ship Status: This one is just leaving the harbor. Given the status of the last cruise Michaela was on, how much worse could this one possibly be? Co-captain Levi gave every indication that he is a skilled skipper down South. For Michaela’s sake, we hope we are right.
