![]() Remember when Catherine first showed up and made April pump a penis implant? Man, times have changed. It is a lovely little conversation that leads to a lovely little glass of wine because neither of the girls really wants to return home to their angry dudes. If he did, he’d know April had no choice but to take the job. Jackson doesn’t know what it’s like to live without a safety net. (April getting giddy over being compared to Catherine is precious.) They had to work for what they have. Catherine, however, reminds April that people like Jackson are not like the two of them. And yes, it could look like that from the outside. That she’s an opportunist who should’ve known to say no. The other doctors, Jackson included, are angry that April gave up the cause. If April wasn’t already feeling better about being the woman in charge, a nice chat with Catherine Avery - who, for the record, did not tell Bailey to give the job to April - does the trick. After April kicks that cancer’s ass, she doesn’t gloat - she simply appreciates that her patient finally asks for her name. She kicks Maggie out of the esophageal-cancer case because Maggie made it clear she thinks April is a traitor. Once it dawns on her that she is, in fact, the boss lady, she starts acting like it. Yeah, it’s a rough day for our farm girl. She’s left screaming in the middle of the day-care room that she earned the position. When Jackson finally confronts her about the situation, he insults her by implying that she only got the job because his mother manipulated the situation. She has to eat lunch alone at the Grey Sloan High cafeteria. She only refers to April as Not Doctor Grey! Her friends are either ignoring her or giving her crap. Her esophageal-cancer patient is constantly comparing her to her former doctor, Meredith Grey. It’s the “sure thing, Chief” heard ’round the world.Īpril’s taking flak from all sides. The ask goes about as well as you’d expect, if you were expecting April to have to beg and Webber to agree only after throwing some savage snark. Minnick is overseeing Stephanie’s surgery, and April has to find someone to assist Ben Warren. I get that she can be grating, but she adds a nice mix to the goings-ons at Grey Sloan.Īnyway, April’s first task as chief of general surgery is to help Eliza Minnick roll out the next phase of her teaching plan: two randomly chosen residents will become lead surgeon, and see their cases through while an attending assists. Also, she bagged Doctor Hotface (and also Smart Person, obviously). She’s unabashedly herself - a Goody Two-shoes who strives to be taken seriously. In previous recaps, we’ve discussed how polarizing April Kepner is. I mean, sure, the day before accepting the job she did seem pretty gung-ho on the Stop Minnick front, but a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do. She’s pretty pumped about her promotion, and she should be. Meanwhile, April is doing her best to assert her new authority. Are Mer and Alex at home eating waffles in bed? One can only hope. Especially since April’s predicament has so much to do with Mer. Meredith and Alex are completely sidelined for this surgery-heavy episode, which seems like a misstep for Grey’s Anatomy. April Kepner is now the interim chief of general surgery and the attendings are not enthused. Marika Dominczyk as Eliza, Jessica Capshaw as Arizona.
