Grey’s Anatomy fans better grab their person because ABC is already teasing Meredith Grey’s farewell.
This week, the network released a tribute video in honor of Ellen Pompeo (Meredith), who’s stepping down as a series regular. The clip was a walk down memory lane because it featured old footage combined with new scenes from the emotional goodbye episode (which will air on February 23).
The clip begins with a flashback to the first season, featuring Meredith’s first visit to Seattle Grace Hospital (later renamed Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital). “This is your arena,” Richard Webber (James Pickens Jr.) says in a voiceover. “Today, you are the doctor.”
It goes on to show a montage of scenes set to a cover of Snow Patrol’s “Chasing Cars.” (The song was used multiple times throughout the show, but it was first played in the season 2 finale.)
The flashbacks also feature several fan-favorite characters, including Derek Shepherd (Patrick Dempsey), George O’Malley (T.R. Knight), Izzie Stevens (Katherine Heigl), Cristina Yang (Sandra Oh) and Addison Montgomery (Kate Walsh).
