11. 'You Get to Be Happy'

We nearly had a heart attack when Bailey had one in "(Don't Fear) the Reaper." At least in its aftermath, she gave Ben the all-clear to go work at Station 19. "Life is too precious," she told her husband, "to waste doing anything less than what makes us happy."

4. 'Congrats, Meredith!'

Kleenex, stat! There wasn't a dry eye in the house when, at the tail end of the series' 300th episode, Meredith not only won the Harper Avery Award for Surgical Innovation, she pictured applauding next to Maggie, Zola and her other well-wishers in the O.R. gallery her late mother, Ellis.

12. 'Could We Do It in New York?'

Arizona's hurt over having been ghosted by mentor Nicole fell by the wayside when the blind doctor invited her to start the Robbins-Herman Center for Women's Health. And yeah, sure, they could do it in New York, meaning that Sofia could live with both of her moms, and Calzona fans could imagine that they'd reunited.

14. 'I Dislike You So Intensely'

Owen and Amelia had scarcely changed their relationship statuses from "married" to "single" than, in the span of two "Come On Down to My Boat, Baby" scenes, he was making out with Carina in a supply closet, and she was hitting the sheets with her onetime mentor, Koracick.

Bonus Entry: 'Why Are We Speaking Italian?'

DeLuca probably would have shrugged off his embarrassment at walking in on Arizona with a new hookup... if that hookup hadn't been — surprise! — his sister Carina, who when not arguing with him in the sibs' native tongue suggested that he was "trying to pretend like sex doesn't exist just because he isn't having any!"

10. 'How About I Take You On a Proper Date?'

In the wake of the game night from hell, Jackson circled back to Maggie's doorstep to reveal that he'd broken up with his girlfriend. "All the time I'm with her," he admitted, "I am thinking about you." And once he was done using his bedroom voice to describe their first date, they began kissing like they were on their third!

6. 'I'm Corrupting a Baby'

In "Judgment Day," Owen's dream of becoming a father at last came true when foster son Leo moved in — on the same day that Grey Sloan got high on pot cookies. So after using "99 Bottles of Beer" as a lullaby, the beginner dad marveled that in under 24 hours, he'd "exposed him to drugs and heavy drinking."

3. 'Are You Expecting?'

While watching a wedding over FaceTime with the hospitalized mother of the bride, a tearful Teddy admitted in the final moments of "All of Me" that she was having a baby. And just when it was looking like Owen and Amelia were forming a happy, hectic household with Betty and Leo, too!

8. Happy Ending

We expected "Danger Zone" to be full of flashbacks to Nathan, Megan, Owen and Teddy's tour of duty in Iraq. What we didn't expect was that, when Nathan and Megan moved to Malibu, that was going to be it. Nathan wouldn't be returning to Seattle, and Martin Henderson wouldn't be on the show anymore.

2. 'Hey, Brooke'

We should've seen it coming. Nonetheless, we were as shocked as Jo when, in the final seconds of the midseason finale, she came face to face with her worst nightmare — Paul, the abusive ex she'd changed her name to escape. "Oh, wait," he said, oozing bone-chilling charm, "it's Jo now, right?" Shudder.

7. 'Let's Try Again'

Although the wedding that April planned for Alex and Jo in "All of Me" went so spectacularly off the rails that the couple wound up getting hitched on the ferry instead, a knot was tied at the site of the catastrophe: Matthew proposed to his ex-fiancée, and finally, he and April became husband and wife.

9. 'I'm Game Either Way'

After "smart and funny and hot" doctor/patient Nick made it clear that, whether he and Meredith went with her dreamy Plan B or his, he was interested, she confessed to Alex that McTransplant had "made me feel something that I haven't felt since Derek."

1. 'Don't Take April... Please'

April's near-death experience in "Cold as Ice" chilled us almost as much as it did her. But it was Jackson's desperate prayer at her bedside that really gave us goosebumps. "I'll do whatever You want," he told a God he'd never believed in. "I'll do anything. If You exist, just don't take her away, OK?"

13. 'I Want a Library Card'

Fearing his mother had had a breakdown or worse in "Fight For Your Mind," Alex hightailed it to Iowa, only to discover that... she was fine. More than fine, actually. And when he got over his upset that her mental state had improved now that he no longer needed her, he was able to say sincerely, "I'm really happy for you."

5. 'You Are My Home'

In previous relationships, "I always wanted to run," Jo told Alex in "Old Scars, Future Hearts," "until I met you. You're so screwed up that you make me make sense." Thus began the perfectly imperfect marriage proposal that at last gave Jolex fans the engagement for which they'd waited so long.
