It’s no secret that fans of the beloved medical drama Grey’s Anatomy have been on an emotional rollercoaster with the show.
It feels like every other episode has left us weeping unless we’re talking about the season 7 musical episode, in which case, I’d prefer to never talk about that again.
Now, the show has thrown fans one of their most dramatic curveballs yet.
It’s truly a blessing that *Grey’s Anatomy* is giving us new content amidst a global pandemic.

I mean, they are medical professionals after all!
( This is a JOKE, I know the Grey’s actors are not real-life doctors and surgeons, thank you!
Now, if you did not TUNE IN to the season 17 premiere Thursday night, DO NOT SCROLL ANY FURTHER!

There are hella spoiler alerts coming and I don’t need anyone getting mad at me!
PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK!
Last night, the show brought back one of the MOST LOVED CHARACTERS OF ALL TIME FROM THE DEAD— MCDREAMY!

That’s right, after five long years, fans got another look at Derek Shepard as he reaches out to wife Meredith Grey in an emotional dream-like sequence after she collapses from a long day at the hospital fighting the COVID-19 pandemic.
Naturally, fans could not contain their emotions and took to social media to express their emotions.

Twitter has been filled with Grey’s fan reactions —it’s so hard to believe it’s been five years since Derek’s death.
If this is what the season premiere has in store of us, I can’t wait to see what season 17 will bring!

What did you think of the reunion? Were you sobbing on the floor like me?!
