In the last moments of this week’s Grey’s Anatomy, dubbed “1-800-799-7233,” Jo told Meredith and Alex that she just wished that her husband, Dr. Paul Stadler, was dead. Alex looked thoughtful, which was rather scary after he nearly murdered DeLuca and fantasized about murdering Stadler. But he quickly shook himself out of it and took Jo home.
The episode then closed on a shot of Meredith walking into the ER on what appeared to be the next morning, where she found Jo and Alex looking somberly into the trauma bay where Stadler was being treated by April.
“What did you do?” she asked in a panic, before the screen went black and my heart dropped into my butt.
The trailer for next week’s episode, titled “Personal Jesus,” reveals that Stadler was injured in a hit and run incident. Meredith is seen asking April if there are any suspects, and Jo swears that they had nothing to do with it. Meredith believes her, but isn’t sure that the police will.
The trailer cuts off with Jo spotting Stadler’s fiancé watching them, and she tells Jo, “You don’t have to worry, I didn’t tell them it was you.”
I’m sorry, what?!
What the hell is going on? Did Alex run Paul Stadler over? (Please oh please don’t send my bb back to jail.) Did Jo do it? Did the fiancé finally take Jo’s advice to heart and make an attempt to get away? Did she panic and try to turn it on Jo? Is this entirely coincidental? DID JO DO IT?
I am losing my shit, you guys. I can’t handle this stress all week. Somebody please tell me it’s going to be okay.
