Things are heating up onGrey’s Anatomy!
During Thursday’s episode of the hit ABC medical drama, Maggie Pierce (Kelly McCreary) received a surprise visit from both of her deceased mothers — her birth mother, Ellis Grey (Kate Burton) and her adoptive mother, Diane Pierce (LaTanya Richardson Jackson). Elsewhere, two romances leveled up.
“I have to admit that letter writing is my preferred form of communication,” Ellis, who appeared in Maggie’s dream, read from the letter. “You’re able to say what you need to say without rude interruption or interference. There are things that I should probably say to you Margaret and there’s no time like the present. my recent diagnosis has forced me to think about my own mortality — the past, the mistakes.”
Ellis, who is also Meredith’s mother, had an affair with Dr. Richard Webber back in the day, resulting in the birth of Maggie. Ellis died in season 3 after complications with Alzheimer’s.

“I got my desire to take care of people from my mother,” she continued. “She was the quintessential housewife. Everything from my pleats to my A-line skirt had to be perfect. That wasn’t enough for my father. He slept with all his secretaries. Even the married ones. My mother hated it but clearly never enough to say a word. I swore I would never become someone’s doormat.”
“I would have never imagined you as the doormat type,” said Maggie.
“I wasn’t. Who are you? This letter is for my daughter,” said Ellis. “Where was I? I’d swear I’d never follow my mother’s example Well that was short-lived. I ended up as Richard Webber’s doormat. Oh, how I love that man even the part of him that was married because that meant I could never end up like my mother.”
“I stopped doing what was expected of me after Richard, but started doing what was best for me,” said Ellis.
“I’m not judging you for giving me up, I just thought you were ashamed of me,” said Maggie.
After discovering that Ellis had a say in who her adoptive parents were, Maggie asked Ellis why she was never curious about her.
Meanwhile, things between Amelia (Caterina Scorsone) and her research partner, Dr. Kai Bartley (E. R. Fightmaster) began to heat up after they spent a steamy night together in Minnesota.
“Why do you self-deprecate,” Kai inquired, shortly after the two slept together.
“I guess it’s become my shield of armor, my protection from totally loving every part of me,” said Amelia. “I don’t think I know all of who I am.”
“Well, I’m excited to get to know all of who you are,” said Kai.
“Me too,” Amelia responded.
The next morning, Amelia left Kai to return to her son in Seattle — but something tells us, this romance isn’t over just yet.

“When I’m falling in love, it scares me because I’ve done it very rarely in my life,” Nick told Meredith, after an exhausting day of family drama. “I just don’t love the feeling of losing control.”
“When you’re falling in love?” Meredith asked.
“Yeah, when I’m falling in love,” said Nick, before kissing Meredith.
