‘Grey’s Anatomy’ Tweet-Cap: Miracles Can Happen

Warning: This recap for the “I Ain’t No Miracle Worker” episode of Grey’s Anatomy contains spoilers.

Halloween is still a few weeks away, but the undead are walking the halls of Grey’s Anatomy.

We kid, we kid. No, in one of the stranger, but very uplifting, cases on the show, a widow named Georgia dies … and then comes back to life. It’s not just a second chance for her, but also an opportunity for her entire family to heal after a rift estranged one of her daughters.

Despite Alex’s ongoing legal/professional battle, this is a more lighthearted episode of Grey’s Anatomy, complete with Bailey deputizing Ben as a bad cop, April thirsting for surgeries, and Stephanie drooling over the miracle case. But there are still clouds on the horizon, as Alex continues to struggle with what he did and Meredith still keeping the secret about Riggs from her sister.

Here’s a rundown of this week’s episode, including our live tweets:

Family feud

Meredith drives Alex and Maggie to work and asks how he’s doing. Maggie misinterprets and starts spouting off about how Riggs rejected her and how weird it’s going to be the hospital. Alex, meanwhile, is resigned to his fate working in the clinic.

At the hospital, Arizona has returned from New York (visiting Callie and their daughter) and spots DeLuca for the first time. She’s shocked to the core.

Arizona and Owen work on a pregnant lady named Kara, who it turns out caused the accident. Not only that, she’s one of Georgia’s kids! But she’s been estranged from her family and nobody knows she’s expecting.

Arizona sees Alex pass by and confronts him in the storage room about beating up DeLuca. She yells at him for ruining the career that she helped him build. Alex huffily replies that he can’t take back what he did, he’s mad at himself too, and nothing she can say will help.

Meredith and Riggs run into each other waiting for ORs, and he asks if Maggie is acting weird. Maybe Mer should just tell her what happened? Mer rolls her eyes and then schools him.

When Amelia informs Georgia and her children about Kara’s condition, the siblings go off on Kara — she used drugs, how could she come back like this, she’s terrible for causing the accident. Georgia just wants to see her dead husband’s body, and as she holds his hands and expresses relief at Kara’s return, she starts seizing.

Arizona tells Kara that she’s stable enough to get surgery on her broken pelvis and asks if they should bring Georgia to see her. Kara gets upset — no, there’s no way her mom has forgiven her. Arizona tries to cheer her up, saying mothers will always forgive their children.

When she gets in the elevator, DeLuca asks her if he should move out, because Alex is her protégé and everyone else is so pissed at him. Arizona just shakes her head and gives him a hug.

Meanwhile, Ben confronts Bailey after picking up Tuck. Turns out the little guy got into a fistfight at school, but Bailey is avoiding punishing him. She throws up her hands — she has to be the bad guy at work, now she has to be the bad guy at home? Ben offers to step in, because he’s Tuck’s parent too. Awww!

Maggie and Amelia watch as Georgia’s children say goodbye, but when daughter Morgan is in with her, she screams out. Georgia squeezed her hand! That’s impossible! Nope, it IS possible. Georgia sits up — she’s alive! Bailey can’t believe it and asks how this happened. Amelia and Maggie shrug and say it’s a miracle.

Ben gets to playing bad cop, with an assist from Jackson. They show Tuck gruesome pictures of a beaten-up DeLuca, and Ben exaggerates that DeLuca lost his eyesight and that the guy who did it went to jail. Tuck is getting some serious straight talk!

Mer and Riggs are scrubbimn up for separate surgeries when he tells her about Miracle Lady Georgia. Then he wonders if she’s ever had the “miracle dream” — he’s had it about his ex. Mer denies it at first, then admits she has. “He knocks at the door. Says he forgot his keys, and he’s sorry for being gone so long.” SOB!

Amelia and Maggie examine Georgia and she seems to have emerged from her deadly episode unharmed. They tell her kids, who start bashing Kara gain. But Amelia isn’t having it and gives them hell for not forgiving their sister. Georgia gives her a thumbs up; they deserved it.

Kieran and Morgan visit Kara again. She came out of the C-section just fine, and so did her baby. They tell her that everybody’s OK … including their undead mother!

Ben and Tuck meet Bailey to go home. Tuck hands over his phone and promises to apologize to the kid he beat up. And he apologizes to his mother. Bailey is amazed — she should’ve deputized Ben a long time ago!

Jackson catches April staring longingly at the OR schedule. He knows what’s up: She’s bored. April confesses she is. She loves Harriet, their little miracle baby. But she is bored of just staring at her sleeping daughter all the live-long day. Jackson tells her to go back to the ER; he’s got Harriet.

Maggie and Amelia go outside and Amelia gives them a talking-to. Maggie needs to stop worrying about oversharing with Meredith, while Meredith needs to get better at listening. “Don’t make me move back in,” Amelia warns.

Grey’s Anatomy airs Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET on ABC.
