'Grey's Anatomy': April's Devastating Decision Hurts Jackson

Some things are value going to conflict over … but what if those wars will have been prevented by means of either side taking a second to think issues through? This is the query (unofficially) posed on the Thursday, April 7, episode of Grey’s Anatomy, although the answer doesn’t come moderately in time.

Tension used to be brewing at home between Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) and Amelia (Caterina Scorsone), but the one that appeared maximum troubled by way of it was Maggie (Kelly McCreary). However, their situation was once a drop in the bucket in comparison to the firestorm that was once kindling between Jackson (Jesse Williams) and April (Sarah Drew), due to Jackson’s mom’s assist.

Jackson’s Mom Won’t Back Down

Dr. Richard Webber (James Pickens, Jr.) was once no happier with the plan that his spouse, Catherine Avery (Debbie Allen), had hatched to sue April than her son were. “You meddled,” Richard advised his higher half.

“He is the daddy of that child!” she responded.

“Suing his ex wife for fraud is not easy methods to be a father,” he snapped again. She persevered to insist she used to be merely seeking to help her son, and it gave the impression that no quantity of rational or emotional argument from both of the men in her lifestyles was once going to convince her that her path ahead wasn’t right.

Later, Jackson attempted appealing to his mother to position an finish to this plan, but in addition looked as if it would fail. “April has the power—all the power. You’ve got to get some energy,” Catherine argued.

In a last-ditch effort to modify his wife’s mind, Richard scheduled them to be in the O.R. in combination so they might communicate (whilst they operated). She then advised him about how Jackson’s father had attempted to take Jackson clear of her, and she’d needed to struggle to get him again. She also added that Jackson wasn’t Richard’s son anyway. 

“You’re my wife, and I think I will have to be capable of let you know whilst you’re making a fallacious flip, and this is a unsuitable flip,” Richard calmly replied. 

Meanwhile, the wear was once achieved — as a result of April had overheard them talking and found out that a lawsuit from Jackson was most likely headed her manner.

April and Arizona Are United via a Pregnant Teen

When April ended up taking good care of a teenage lady with abdominal ache — who took place to be pregnant and hadn’t informed her mother — April called Arizona (Jessica Capshaw) to lend a hand. Both April and Arizona agreed that surgical treatment used to be the most suitable option for the young woman, however they disagreed about whether it used to be appropriate to tell the lady’s mother about the being pregnant. Arizona insisted that it wasn’t inside of their rights to do so when their affected person sought after to stay it confidential, but when the instant of fact arrived they usually had been explaining treatment choices to the mom, April blurted out the scoop.

“There is the danger that Jenny may lose her baby,” she mentioned. “Jenny is pregnant.” Arizona bit her tongue, nevertheless it was transparent that she was extraordinarily displeased.

The teenager’s mother reacted exactly the way her daughter had predicted, and the 2 were given in an enormous struggle in the medical institution room in front of both Arizona and April. Later, a complication the medical doctors had (fairly) predicted materialized, and the teenager wanted surgical operation in an instant. April was once clearly struggling with a responsible conscience.

“This wasn’t my fault, telling the mummy — stress doesn’t simply reason arteries to rupture,” she said to Arizona.

“That doesn’t make it right,” Arizona replied.

“It felt proper,” April quipped. “It felt like she had to know, adore it was the appropriate factor to do.” Predictably, Arizona commented that she knew the sensation, prompting April to shout that this used to be no longer the similar thing.

But when the lady’s mom approached her daughter with tenderness and love following the surgical treatment (one thing neither April nor Arizona had anticipated), the ice between the two thawed and there gave the impression to be hope for the way forward for their friendship.

Another (possibly) brewing dating used to be between Stephanie (Jerrika Hinton) and a super-sexy musician suffering from MS, performed by means of Wilmer Valderrama. Though Stephanie did her highest to thwart his advances, between his smoldering good appears to be like and wizard-like guitar talents, by way of the top, she gave the look to be softening to his advances, a minimum of sufficient that he’ll be back for long term episodes (wink, wink).

Owen and Riggs Have It Out

There will nonetheless more battles brewing, alternatively. Meredith attempted to calm the waters between Owen (Kevin McKidd) and Riggs (Martin Henderson), but best ended up making the waves 10 times worse.

“Riggs attempted to speak your sister off that chopper,” Meredith stated. “She needed to be along with her affected person. He attempted to head — she wouldn’t let him.”

Owen rolled his eyes and asked, “That’s what he told you?” He then gave his model of what had took place: “Meredith, he didn’t say the rest to her. He wasn’t any place near that chopper! He was once off screwing some lady.”

Meredith didn’t have anything else to say in line with that, however then Owen confronted Riggs and informed him that Megan had known as him and told him the whole thing. “You can’t simply are available in here and pretend to be some great guy, pretend to be this hero! And lie and idiot everybody like Grey and Bailey and Pierce and Amelia. You can’t simply take extra other folks clear of me. You can’t do it, and I won’t let you!” Riggs looked beautiful anxious by the point Owen stormed out.

Crisis Averted … Almost

Apparently, Richard’s arguments made an impact on Jackson’s mother, who was once singing a special tune when she noticed him next. “I overstepped, however you are my child,” Catherine defined. “I was simply protecting my child.” She acknowledged that she needed to let move, and let him struggle his own battles, and he said he intended to do just that.

“I’m an Avery. Somebody messed with my baby, so I were given myself some energy,” he mentioned in reaction. It sounded ominous, nevertheless it became out that he had in reality sent April a stupendous crib for their baby.

Unfortunately, April didn’t discover it at her area until after she’d already taken her personal movements to defend herself.

April confessed to Arizona, “I believe Jackson’s going to sue for custody, complete custody, once the baby is born … I overheard [his mother] announcing it.” Arizona reassured the expectant mother that they'd determine what to do in combination.

That’s when April said she already figured out what to do. “I’m now not going to be the victim. He can’t do that. I received’t let him,” she explained. Arizona requested her what she’d performed.

At simply that moment, in a bar throughout the city, Jackson was served with papers as a result of April had filed a restraining order in opposition to him.
