Grey's Anatomy, Season 12 Finale

I missed the 23rd episode, thanks to the absolute inefficiency of the cable service provider. But the universe conspired to give me a chance to watch the repeat telecast of the Season Finale. And it was as tiring as the rest of this season. Very heavy on emotions, as the rest of this season.

There is something which I have been simply unable to fathom. How can two people who are in love with each other be so absolutely terrified of getting married? What is this commitment phobia that seems to be gripping more than one characters from this show? Amelia has it in droves. This is one character which has single-handedly been responsible for much of my headache as I watched this season. The woman is impossibly unstable. I would have called her scatter-brained, if it were not for her impeccable skills as a neuro-surgeon. But honestly, if I were her patient and been a witness to her indecisiveness in personal matters, I would absolutely forbid her from operating on any part of my body, let alone an important organ like brain. I feel sorry for Hunt. He deserves better. I will be very surprised if this marriage lasts till the end of the next season.

Jo is another one who seems incapable of making a decision when it comes to marriage. At least her reason for doing so was revealed in the last few moments of the finale. But I am not convinced. She can very well tell Alex about her past and I doubt if he will insist on her getting a divorce from her first husband, especially if it might result in putting her in danger. Sure, their marriage will be null and void if her first husband resurfaces but in the society where living together without getting married is not frowned upon, it certainly won't be an end of the world scenario. Then why complicate matters?

I am glad that April and her baby are fine. Also glad that Bailey and her husband seem to have worked things out between them. I am not sorry to see Torres leave. Arizona can now move on with her life.

As far as Meredith goes, I feel sory for Dr. Riggs. Here is one more indecisive, impulsive and more-than-slightly unbalanced lady.

All in all, I am glad and relieved that this roller-coaster season of emotions has finally come to an end. Hope the next season will focus more on medical aspects than the human side of things. Well, we will see next September, won't we?
