The last Greys Anatomy episode of February 2020 could be an important one for Meredith Grey. Shes spending even more time with Cormac Hayes (Richard Flood), aka McWidow. Will Snowblind be the episode that finally establishes a romantic connection between them?

Just as fans were getting accustomed to MerLuca (the portmanteau for Merediths relationship with Andrew DeLuca, the chief resident at Grey Sloan), someone new walks in. In the mid-season finale, Meredith returns to the hospital, not long after her breakup with DeLuca. She then begins working with Hayes, who has taken over Alex Karevs position as head of pediatrics.

The two spend a day working together, though they clash at first. Throughout all of this, Meredith has been texting with her best friend, Cristina Yang, who has been living in and working in Europe for years. She tells Meredith she has sent her a package to cheer her up after her split. As it turns out, Hayes is the package.

Even though they dont get along at first, Meredith soon learns that she and the new doctor have a lot in common. While working together, he confesses that he, too, is a single parent. His wife passed away from cancer two years ago. In another episode, we meet his two teenage sons.

Though Meredith isnt necessarily drawn to him in a romantic way just yet, its easy to see how the writers are laying the groundwork. Her issues with DeLuca come back to how he doesnt feel that he can measure up to her, as he is younger and less accomplished, and doesnt understand what shes been through. McWidow, on the other hand, is proving to be the opposite.

Meredith and DeLuca have been able to mend fences over the past couple of weeks. In Save the Last Dance for Me, theyre shown having resumed the more fun aspects of their relationship, but they dont establish what they are to one another. This all boiled over in last weeks episode, A Diagnosis.

Though Meredith is worried about him, DeLuca cant stop obsessing over the case hes been working on. He interrupts her conversation with Hayes, and speaks in Italian (something they do just to one another). As it turns out, Hayes also speaks Italian, and tells DeLuca to Learn some d*** respect. Later, DeLuca breaks up with Meredith again.

This weeks episode is another Station 19 crossover event, The Blizzard. In the Greys Anatomy episode, titled Snowblind, Hayes has a young patient who is waiting on a liver. But the storm has caused roads to be shut down. So DeLuca volunteers to go out and get it on his own.

Last weeks episode was clearly a set-up for a Meredith-Hayes-DeLuca storyline. Will Meredith become more impressed with Hayes as they work together, or will his heroic act remind her of why she cares so much about DeLuca? Well find out on Feb. 27, 2020.
