The On-Call Room: A Grey's Anatomy Podcast

Welcome to our final episode! Grey’s Anatomy may be continuing on (and let’s be real - is it ever going to end?!) but unfortunately our show is going to be stopping. We always said that we would stop when Meredith Grey left the show - and although that happened and she’s already back - we’ve decided to end The On-Call Room. We never want to podcast about something unless we feel truly passionate about it - and we only want to give you all a product that we feel we have put everything into. We both have so many other places to put our focus right now - that we would hate to continue just for the sake of continuing (ie: what Grey’s is doing). Sometimes the best things end - and that’s okay!  PATREON PAGE INFO:June payments will be paused and the page will stay up until the end of June. After that - it will no longer be available.

We're back for the final episode of Season 19! The final episode of what is currently available for Grey's Anatomy! We actually did it! Bri and Abbey recorded this episode together - so of course there is a bout of technology issues and giggling laughter - but they do ultimately make it through the monologues to discuss everything from Simone's wedding to Jo and Link's admission of love. They discuss the actual Catherine Fox Awards and the lack of a Bailey speech as well as the incredibly awkward ending for Meredith and Nick.As always - the Grey's Anatomy content begins at 14:19.651You can support us at www.patreon.com/theoncallroom keeping in mind that we will not be charging our current patrons until our winter break is complete! Bri is graduating and Abbey is having a baby!Thank you for your support and we will SEE YOU NEXT YEAR!

When she gets into the elevator to leave we see both her Mom’s on either side of her.Kai uses the Seattle office for the day and when Amelia tries to encourage them to move to Seattle to do their work, Kai lets her know that the reason their relationship has worked is because her days with Scout do not overlap with their days together.: Greys Content: 25:18www.patreon.com/theoncallroom

They have a moment together outside the hospital where Maggie tells Winston that she couldn’t have done that without him, and then they go home and have sex.Kai comes to visit and towards the end of their stay Amelia tells them not to go back to Minnesota.
