Grey’s Anatomy has had many doctors step up to become the Chief of Surgery over its decades on the air, but only one can be considered the best.
Derek’s death in Grey’s Anatomy season 11 and Amelia’s reluctance to deal with the Shepherds made it more difficult for them to reappear, especially as their objective when they did was always to reconnect with their family in Seattle. However, the introduction of the new class of interns in Grey’s Anatomy season 19 gave them a perfect chance to reintroduce them down the line with the arrival of Derek and Amelia’s nephew Lucas Adams to Seattle. If they were to return due to the shocking developments of Grey’s Anatomy season 21, episode 8, they could also solve a major mystery.
Lucas Being Potentially Shot Sets The Stage For The Shepherd Sisters To Appear
It Could Be The Biggest Thing For The Shepherds Since Derek Dying
The last time most of the Shepherds were reunited was in Grey’s Anatomy season 15, episode 21, “Good Shepherd,” when Nancy, Kathleen, Amy and Carolyn all found themselves at dinner at Nancy’s place.
Grey’s Anatomy season 21, episode 9’s promo already showed Amelia being alerted about Lucas, although it’s unclear what news she received. Her being his aunt will undoubtedly make things difficult for Amelia, but if Lucas were to be wounded, Amelia would have reason to call Lucas’s parents and inform them. Such a difficult moment could finally reunite the Shepherd sisters and bring them to Seattle again, this time all together, which would undoubtedly cause drama as their reunions usually do but could also be exactly what is needed if Lucas were to be wounded, as they could support Lucas’s mother.
The Shepherd Sisters Appearing In Grey’s Anatomy Season 21 Can Finally Reveal Lucas’ Mother
The Mystery Has Persisted Despite Lucas’s Story Having Been At The Center
If all the Shepherd sisters went to Seattle following his wounds, the truth about who Lucas’s mother is would necessarily come out.
Lucas’s sharing didn’t really offer any clue as to which Shepherd sister was his mother, but at least it said a bit more about his family life. If all the Shepherd sisters went to Seattle following his wounds, the truth about who Lucas’s mother is would necessarily come out. Even if such a big reunion weren’t possible, Amelia could let the truth slip when talking with Lucas, Simone or any of her loved ones at Grey Sloan, finally letting Grey’s Anatomy season 21 reveal the truth about the direct link between Amelia and Lucas.
