'Grey's Anatomy' Season 14 Episode 9 Spoilers: Jo Breaks Silence on Marital Dispute with Paul
Jo (Camilla Luddington) is finally ready to take on her abusive husband Paul Stadler (guest star Matthew Morrison) in the upcoming episode of "Grey's Anatomy."
Fans of the series should take note that the title of the midseason premiere has changed. Executive producer Krista Vernoff explained the alteration on her Twitter account, crediting actor Giacomo Gianniotti, who plays DeLuca, for the idea. Instead of "Four Seasons in One Day," the episode will now be tagged as "1-800-799-7233." The more discerning of viewers are quick to note that this is the number for the National Domestic Violence Hotline. Based on the speculations, the episode will likely see Jo blowing the whistle on her husband and revealing what a monster he is to her colleagues.
For years, Jo has kept her marital problems a secret. She transferred to Seattle Grace Hospital using a fake name so that Paul would not be able to trace her. According to Jo, he was violent and vile and did nothing but hurt her while they were together. During the last finale, Jo faced her worst nightmare when she saw Paul at the hospital. Finally, he managed to locate her. Jo's expression in the promo photos hints of the internal screaming she is doing while looking at her abuser's face. While her first option is to run and never look back, Jo knows that she needs to stand up for herself and tackle the problem head-on if she wants another chance at life.
