"The Room Where It Happens" (Thursday, November 10) is a "bottle episode" set in the operating room, solely featuring these four characters in the present, and their memories from the past: Meredith (Ellen Pompeo), Owen (Kevin McKidd), Stephanie (Jerrika Hinton), and Webber (James Pickens Jr.).
"Everybody in that place has ghosts. Every surgeon there has ghosts that inform the way that they practice," Hinton said. The memory scenes will play out in flashbacks, TV Guide added, with the doctors interacting with ghosts from their pasts. Hinton said, "The way that this is set up with all of the magical realism in there, all of the spectacle ... standing in the room and seeing the special sets they built specifically for this and the little shadowboxes built into the set, it was all super theatrical on the day. I'm excited to see how that plays out."
It sounds like a creative episode, delving deeper into the character's emotional backstories but also focusing on their present tension as they face scrutiny under the direction of Eliza Minnick (who is also Arizona's new love interest).
