Grey’s Anatomy

ABC’sGrey ’s Anatomyhas been running for a groundbreaking 17 time of year . Over the years , fan have witnessed a lot of type come and go through the manor hall of Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital . While the show is well know for its shocking patch gimmick and riveting drama ,   sometimes devotee detect thing that do n’t make a lot of horse sense .

Penny Blake , play by Samantha Sloyan , was introduced in Season 11 as a surgical resident at Dillard Medical Centre . She was one of the doctor whotreated fan - favorite Derek Shepherdwhen he die in a car chance event . Although many buff dislike Penny for her amour in Derek ’s death , she became a recurring character in Season 12 . While Penny was a controversial character in the show ’s run , not everything about her story made all over sense .

The Head CT

Near the end of Season 11 , Derek Shepherd was need in a car chance event .   When he was allow in into the Dillard ER he was tended to by Penny and her   higher-ranking   Paul Castello , an Attending Trauma Surgeon . Penny suggested that they lam a brain CT to check for brain injuries ,   but Paul overruled her , argue that Derek ’s abdominal injuries were more pressing .

Before they break into surgical operation , Penny tried again to convert Paul to run a CT scan , but he refused . During the operating theater , Derek became unsound and Paul finally remembered that Derek had a head laceration . He paged   a Neurosurgeon , but   before he get in Derek passed away . It does n’t make sense why Paul would refuse to do a CT . This   is standard practice session for any patient involved in a car chance event , especially   given Derek had   a head laceration . Derek   noticed that Paul had minuscule regard for Penny , probably because she ’s a cleaning lady . Paul may have been sexist and conceited ,   but it does n’t make sense that he would be this bad of a medico .

Why Didn’t Penny Leave The Dinner Party?

After Derek ’s dying , Penny get date Callie Torres . Callie ask for Penny to Meredith Grey ’s house for a dinner political party , but when they arrive Meredith realizes that she ’s met Penny before . The Season 12 installment " Who ’s Coming To Dinner " is an iconic episode of Grey ’s Anatomy . The tenseness between Penny and Meredith builds until Meredith discover to the table that " Perfect Penny kill my married man " .

Meredith and Penny   immediately recognize each other because they portion out an intense minute after Derek ’s death . Penny had apologized to Meredith for failing to save Derek , and Meredith secernate Penny   that Derek ’s death will haunt centime for the rest of her life . Many lover have scramble to see why Penny would stay at the dinner party . It was obvious that Meredith recognise her , and was n’t happy to see her , so why did she put herself in such an uneasy situation when she could have just apologized and   left ?

Why Did Penny Go To Meredith’s House?

Penny knew who Meredith was . Both Meredith and Derek were reality - renowned doc , and Penny had cope with both of them ,   so she for certain must have sleep with the name , Meredith Grey . So when Callie invited her for dinner party , why did Penny make the decision to issue forth ?

Penny seemed surprised when Meredith opened the door ; did Callie not recite her who ’s mansion they were go to ? Or did Penny not substantiate that Callie ’s friend Meredith was Meredith Grey ? It does n’t make a heap of sense .

How Did Penny Re-Match at Grey Sloan?

During the dinner company , Miranda Bailey revealed that Penny was   going to be conjoin Grey Sloan . Dillard close up down , so in order for Penny to continue with her residency , the political program rematched her with another hospital . This turned out to be Grey Sloan . However , a user on Reddit pointed out that this does n’t make any sense .

First of all , in real life , a infirmary like Dillard would not be a didactics hospital .   Dillard was diminutive and in the midriff of nowhere , so it would not have the resources to run a abidance programme . Second , Penny would have had to start her residency all over again so as to be rematched . at last , Grey Sloan is a highly esteemed teaching hospital so it would be very hard to get accepted .   Dillard was shown to be very poorly black market and lacking in resource , so if that was Penny ’s first match then she was n’t a very beneficial candidate . The likelihood of her being accept   into Grey Sloan ready no sense at all .

Did She Know What Grey Sloan Was?

Considering that Penny was joining Grey Sloan ,   one would think that she would have done some enquiry . If Penny had gain that the hospital ’s name paid protection toDerek ’s babe - in - law Lexie Grey , then she might have had 2d thought about transfer .

It ’s also hard to believe that Penny and Callie did n’t talk about   Callie ’s   link to Grey Sloan .   Callie ’s daughter Sofia has the surname Sloan , after her Padre Mark Sloan . The infirmary was refer after Mark and Lexie after they   died in the airplane wreck .

Why Did She And Callie Not Discuss This?

A lot of what does n’t make sense about Penny comes down to her human relationship with Callie .   If Penny and Callie were see , it make good sense to think they had discussed their personal lives .

Given the huge wallop of the woodworking plane crash , Mark ’s death , and Arizona losing her leg , it would   make common sense that Callie had told Penny about her kinship with the " Seattle Grace Five " ,   let in Derek and Meredith . How could they be serious enough that Penny say she took the job at Grey - Sloan because of Callie , but not bonk anything about the citizenry in Callie ’s life ?

Why Did Penny get all the Blame?

Meredith may be beloved by fans , but the fashion she treat Penny was pretty harsh .   It ’s a   very extreme matter to say " Perfect Penny drink down my hubby " to a table full of people . Especially give that everyone there had crucial relationships with Derek , including his sister Amelia .

When Penny starts work at Grey - Sloan , she ’s put under Meredith ’s service ,   but the means Meredith and Amelia treat her is backbreaking to watch . Losing a married man / blood brother is an painful thing to live , and there ’s no correct direction to handle sorrow , but Penny genuinely did n’t do anything wrong . She tried her best to get Derek a CT scan but was overruled by her ranking . As Dr. , Meredith and Amelia should empathize that patient role sometimes die during surgical process and that Penny of all masses should n’t be blamed .

Why Was She Put On Merediths Service?

Another upshot with Penny ’s account is that she is put on Meredith ’s service on her first day at Grey - Sloan .   At the fourth dimension , Miranda Bailey was the Chief of Surgery and Richard Webber was in charge of the residency course of study .

Bailey   was at the dinner party company , and   Webber would have been made aware pretty quicklyas he and Meredith are passing close . It does n’t make any sense that they would put Penny on Meredith ’s service on her very first daylight , as it was bound to have disruption .

The Custody Battle

A major storyline in Season 12 is the custody fight between Callie and her ex - married woman Arizona Robbins over their daughter Sofia .   Penny pull ahead the Preminger Grant   requiring her to move to New York . Although Penny did n’t involve Callie to make out as she felt it would n’t be fair , Callie determine that she was operate to move to New York too , and wreak Sofia ;   even if it meant pull Arizona and Sofia part .

Break-Up with Callie

One of the with child query Saint Mark in cent ’s write up is what befall to her and Callie . After Callie lost the custody fight , Arizona had a modification of heart and gave Callie her boon to   go to New York with Sofia . This was Penny and Callie ’s last appearances on the show , and rooter thought they finally got the felicitous termination they deserved .

Shockingly , in   the Season 14 finale , Arizona herald that she was moving to New York so that Sofia can have both her parents in the same berth . She reveals that both she and Callie are single , and take a leak each other smile again , imply that they have harmonize . No information is commit as to why Penny and Callie erupt up , leaving a spate of Penny fans confused and disheartened . Wherever Perfect Penny is now , hopefully , she ’s thriving .
