The first three episodes of Season 14 have been a real blast, and fans are truly satisfied. The show seems to have moved a bit from personal dramas, and it went back to being a real cliffhanger, which all the fans loved during all these years. True, the first three episodes were related to the characters’ private lives as well, but it was all perfectly combined with some true medical drama. The greatest shock this season so far was episode two, when it was revealed that Amelia has a brain tumor. The new preview shows Amelia getting ready for a surgery.
Even though the show has a long-standing pattern of killing off fan-favorite characters, we’re hoping she’ll make it.
Oh, sweet irony
Some fans love Amelia because they know what she’s been through, others not so much. It’s true she’s been acting weird during the last season. She ignored her husband and acted a bit cold to everyone around her. A reasonable explanation for that could be that she was considered the family’s black sheep, lost her child, developed a drug addiction, and, to top it all, lost her beloved brother, Derek Shepherd.
The new season, however, gave us a different reason for such behavior: a brain tumor. Amelia herself laughed about the irony there: a neurosurgeon got a brain tumor.
After she saved hundreds of lives and operated on what others considered inoperable, now she’s the one to go under the knife. She was told her tumor has been there for at least 10 years, so it made her question every medical and personal decision she’s made over the last few years. The fans were comforted to learn that it was benign, but brain surgery is still a big and scary deal.
Amelia shaves her head
A video preview for the new episode named ''Ain't that a kick in the head'' shows Amelia shaving part of her head to have the tumor removed from her brain. Luckily enough, in the previous episode she decided to reveal the secret to her loved ones, so she won’t have to go through this alone. The video shows Meredith and Maggie offering some much-needed moral support.
Amelia is in for the fight of her life, and the fans are excited to see the outcome.
Will the tumor bring Owen and Amelia back together?
Owen and Amelia’s marriage has been on the rocks for quite some time, and now they face a new challenge. While Amelia has been giving Owen the cold shoulder, Teddy came back and Owen kissed her. Although Teddy played fair and reminded him that he’s married, it’s easy to see how confused and lonely Owen is.
However, the look on his face when he found out about the tumor made it clear how much he actually cares about Amelia. Fans hope the tumor phase will bring the two back together as they both deserve to be happy after everything they’ve been through.
