With the mid-season finale of hit series "Grey's Anatomy" done, fans are anxious to know just what is in store for their characters.
The episode ended with the question of how Meredith, played by Ellen Pompeo, and Amelia, played by Caterina Scorsone, will get along after memories of Derek began driving them apart. Ever since the beginning of the season, the two have been trying to get along, despite the building tension between them.
The previous season brought the death of Derek, played by Patrick Dempsey. Because of that, his sister Amelia decided to move in with his wife Meredith. While they attempted to co-exist in their own homes, things began to interrupt when Penny, played by Samantha Sloyan, entered Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital as a resident.
