Grey’s Anatomy
AsGrey ’s Anatomycontinues to play along Meredith ’s life and career , the author seem to be positioning Dr. Cormac Hayes as her potentially stark romantic better half . The bump off aesculapian dramatic play has a prospicient account of introducing young beaus for its titular character - the very first episode began in medias res powerful after Meredith ’s first Nox with Derek Shepherd , after all . But , afterDerek ’s untimely death in time of year 11 , Meredith ’s romantic web have been uncommon and , for the most part , momentaneous . Could Dr. Hayes a.k.a . " McWidow " change all of that before the series ' last ?
Considering former interactions between the two , such a question would have been thought , by many , almost unbelievable . Having formerly sour with Cristina Yang in Switzerland , Hayes transfer to Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital ’s pediatric surgical operation department , eventually becoming the Head of Pediatric Surgery in the backwash of Alex Karev ’s precipitous exit from the show . Almost instantly , the Irish surgeon butted head with Meredith , often challenging her medical opinions and paying dead no psyche to her prestigious Harper Avery Award win .

However , as with so many pastand originalGrey ’s Anatomycharacters , Hayes was let on to be not all that he look . Gradually , Meredith and the audience learned more of the newcomer ’s fairly late past , which left him a unmarried father after the tragic dying of his former wife , Abigail . The show ’s writers have sporadically include flashback panorama to secure bod out Hayes ' backstory , effectively turn the externally frigid man that Meredith first met into a far more sympathetic and relatable material body . In short , Hayes ' story , which involves a dictated perseverance in the viewing of capital personal loss , mirror that of Meredith ’s .
This shared experience and provable fortitude make the idea of a Meredith - Cormac pair a fulfil one on a narrative level . Since the former ’s early spark revolved heavily aroundMeredith and Derek(the seasons - long " will - they - or - won’t - they " drama , their professional contention , and , later , grappling with his death ) , his ghost still bulk large large on the show and , for some sports fan , a conclusion in which Meredith ends up with someone else could be backbreaking to accommodate . Yet , study Hayes ' own history with bereavement , he will be the first to understand that he can in no way exchange Derek , just as Meredith could n’t ever full replace Abigail . alternatively , with each other , they could be lastly give the permission to detect a new happiness while still remembering the partners who , though gone , helped to shape them .
All of this is not to say that Dr. Meredith Grey needs to end up with anyone before the show contact its eventual conclusion - she is a highly accomplished sawbones , a singular someone , and the glue that keeps her family and community together . However , Grey ’s Anatomyseason 17has been , perhaps in preparation for a series wrap - up , not - so - subtly pair off many of its other major role player . Jackson locomote to Boston with April , his ex - wife . Catherine and Richard , Teddy and Owen , and Schmidt and Nico have all harmonise . Maggie , in a beautiful Sunday - kissed ceremony , got married to Winston . So , with a hoi polloi happily ever afters in reach for so many character , why should n’t Meredith get one , too - especially if her partner is discernment and supportive of her ?
With so many seasons ofGrey ’s Anatomybehind us , it is excusable to forget that much of the show ’s early story was manufacture to juxtapose Meredith with her ailing mother . A splendid operating surgeon , Ellis Grey pushed everyone away from her , basically drop dead alone . With so much of season 17 showing Meredith undergoing her own life - and - death struggle , it is not inadvertent that she was palisade by a little army of people who have hail to have sex and esteem her . Meredith Grey is an honour - win surgeonand exceptional doctor because her personal connectedness do n’t diminish her talent . Instead , they - along with her rage and willingness to on occasion break rule to do what ’s right - enhance it . Should the series end with Meredith ’s felicitous coupler with Hayes , it could be unquestionable proof that she , unlike her female parent , is capable of have got it all . After so many years of battle , growth , and exit , she ’s certainly earned it .
