Bailey and Webber were so incredibly petulant that they ignored what was happening with Schmitt. They were both so obsessed with their own opinions about "the Webber Method" that they were completely unconcerned with a resident. No one called Psych or did anything to help him until there was a visible issue. And the entire thing was just uncomfortable.

Link's whole thing is tired. He needs to get over Amelia already. I'm not a fan of him and Jo being together romantically but his insistence on being in love with Amelia is tiring. And I think Kai and Amelia make a better couple.

Owen's whole "mercy killing" thing comes out of nowhere. It's just a plot point to get Hayes to leave.

Alex Karev grew to be one of my favorite characters on the show. He evolved so much from where he started and this episode was pure assassination of his character. All the growth he showed just disappeared with this episode. I used to think Derek's departure from the show was the worst, but this takes the cake.

I was never a big Izzie fan to begin with, nor was I a fan of Jo. But everything they built to in these later seasons showed Alex caring about Jo and not him wanting kids this badly. Or even wanting to go back to Izzie. She was never mentioned at all. Alex just left, at a complete disservice to his character up to this point.

I might have been able to accept the letters, but where he ended up just doesn't sit well with me. The character is ruined with this episode and I will definitely skip it upon rewatch. Not even the plane crash episode was this terrible.

Even worse than Gina's return. Everyone knows what happened in the world, and everything felt very forced. The entire episode was simply recapping real-world events. The show has tackled issues before, but it was much subtler and actually well done. Rosa quitting the force is very much shoehorned in. Obviously there's a very real and a big issue going on with cops in the world, but it feels weird to have that topic be so forced into a show like this.
