Spoilers ahead for the fourth episode of Grey’s Anatomy Season 17, called “You’ll Never Walk Alone.”
Meredith’s comatose state allowed Patrick Dempsey to reprise his role as Derek “McDreamy” Shepherd despite Derek’s death in Season 11, and now “You’ll Never Walk Alone” brought back somebody who has been dead even longer: T.R. Knight’s George O’Malley.
Grey’s Anatomy has kept Meredith Grey in dire straits during most of the seventeenth season so far after she collapsed due to a case of COVID-19, but fans have actually had a lot to celebrate despite the heroine potentially circling the drain.
