Grey’s Anatomy Promises to ‘Pay Off’ All That Season 20 Build-Up in a ‘Fiery… Edge-of-Your-Seat’ Finale
Tense… tenser… tensest. That’s the direction in which Grey’s Anatomy is hurtling as it careens toward its Season 20 finale.

As for Meredith, moneybags boss Catherine has already warned her that, if she keeps challenging the conventional wisdom where Alzheimer’s research is concerned, she will very quickly find herself without funding. And if Meredith goes down, she could take with her coconspirators Amelia and Teddy.
Kevin McKidd, who plays Owen, described the season ender as “fiery,” and Camilla Luddington, aka Jo, forewarned that it was an “edge-of-your-seat” installment that was going to leave us with cliffhangers.
The Season 20 finale of Grey’s Anatomy is slated to air on Thursday, May 20. What are you hoping happens over the course of the episode? Answer in the comments.
