The On-Call Room: A Grey's Anatomy Podcast

Welcome to our final episode! Grey’s Anatomy may be continuing on (and let’s be real - is it ever going to end?!) but unfortunately our show is going to be stopping. We always said that we would stop when Meredith Grey left the show - and although that happened and she’s already back - we’ve decided to end The On-Call Room. We never want to podcast about something unless we feel truly passionate about it - and we only want to give you all a product that we feel we have put everything into. We both have so many other places to put our focus right now - that we would hate to continue just for the sake of continuing (ie: what Grey’s is doing). Sometimes the best things end - and that’s okay!    PATREON PAGE INFO: June payments will be paused and the page will stay up until the end of June. After that - it will no longer be available. If you are just becoming a member you will be charged for the month you sign up but no additional months after that. You only have until the end of June to consume all of the content. The Facebook page will also be changing. Please listen for more info! DO NOT UNSUBSCRIBE (please) Please do not unsubscribe! We have a lot to say - and we would love to be able to keep the communication open in case we decide to come back and say hi, or talk about something new.

We're back for the final episode of Season 19! The final episode of what is currently available for Grey's Anatomy! We actually did it! Bri and Abbey recorded this episode together - so of course there is a bout of technology issues and giggling laughter - but they do ultimately make it through the monologues to discuss everything from Simone's wedding to Jo and Link's admission of love. They discuss the actual Catherine Fox Awards and the lack of a Bailey speech as well as the incredibly awkward ending for Meredith and Nick. As always - the Grey's Anatomy content begins at 14:19.651 You can support us at www.patreon.com/theoncallroom keeping in mind that we will not be charging our current patrons until our winter break is complete! Bri is graduating and Abbey is having a baby! Thank you for your support and we will SEE YOU NEXT YEAR!

Lucas continues to forget things and mess up on patients and Nick loses his patience with him and tells him to get his meds under control for his ADHD. Nick and Winston are both nominated for a Catherine Fox Award and are invited to go to the awards ceremony which is being held in Boston. Teddy brings the other Attendings into a meeting to discuss changes that need to be made in order to keep their interns mentally well. Some are silly like oat milk in the cafeteria, and non allergenic pillows in the on call room, but some are more serious. It turns out that their salary is not enough to live in Seattle.

It’s Maggie’s final day at Grey-Sloan, Richard apologizes for his reaction and tells her that he is proud of her and that he will miss her. She ends up telling Winston that she wants to change history and not stay in a relationship to keep the peace like Ellis and her Mother did. When she gets into the elevator to leave we see both her Mom’s on either side of her. Kai uses the Seattle office for the day and when Amelia tries to encourage them to move to Seattle to do their work, Kai lets her know that the reason their relationship has worked is because her days with Scout do not overlap with their days together.:  Greys Content: 25:18 www.patreon.com/theoncallroom

After working together all day on a patient named Seth, Simone realizes that Lucas knows her best and asks him to be her Man of Honor - he agrees. On Maggie’s last day an emergency surgery comes through that she has to take on and she asks Winston to help her. It’s an extremely risky thymoma but together they accomplish the impossible and save the woman’s life. They have a moment together outside the hospital where Maggie tells Winston that she couldn’t have done that without him, and then they go home and have sex. Kai comes to visit and towards the end of their stay Amelia tells them not to go back to Minnesota. Kai breaks the news that they are actually going to London, where they’ve accepted a job opening up their own lab and running it. Greys Content: 16:51 www.patreon.com/theoncallroom

Simone, Lucas and Mika are throwing a housewarming party at Meredith’s old house. The mystery man who showed up previously is Trey, Simone’s old serious boyfriend from her previous location Bailey and Ben are invited to a dinner at Teddy and Owen’s and everything goes wrong. Teddy and Owen are constantly fighting and the new reason for that is that Teddy admits she is going to hire a new Chief of Trauma, and not give him his job back. Maggie and Winston are still not talking and she asks Richard how he knew the difference between a rough patch with Catherine, or, in her words, if the fight was malignant. Richard says that the love was always there, despite the fights. www.patreon.com/theoncallroom Greys Content: 18:34
