Even thoughGreys Anatomy is truly at its best when its focusing more on dramatic medical cases than on the often drawn-out drama of its doctors personal lives, it doesnt hurt to mix things up every now and then and focus on a more everyday event. Like a family dinner, for instance.

It seems Catherine and Richard have decided to invite the family to a meal. Which technically includes Maggie, since shes Richards biological daughter. Jackson is also bringing his girlfriend, who he started dating arguably a little too soon after breaking up with Maggie (and after his girlfriends fiance died unexpectedly its a long story).

For once, the episode promo for this week didnt give away too much about the upcoming plot. We know Maggie has returned to Grey Sloan, though we arent sure why or whether or not its temporary. We also know that this will be another crossover withStation 19, or will at least prominently feature a few characters from the spin-off series.

What can we expect? Plenty of passive aggressive commentary between Maggie and Jackson. Hilarious commentary from Dean (hes comic relief in the absolute best way possible). Oh, and lets not forget the meltdown thats about to commence between Richard and Catherine.

Watch the promo trailer for The Last Supper here:

These two have been quietly feuding for a while now, and this episode might actually be the one that breaks them apart for good.

Its a shame that Catherines cancer storyline didnt bring them closer together as it could have. Its even more disappointing that it didnt change her as a character at all. Shes just as awful as she was before, at least in most situations weve seen her in lately (not that there have been many).

Richard really hasnt done anything wrong. He tried his best to support his wife when she needed him most. And sure, there were some phone calls he should have answered and didnt. But at what point do you stop trying to connect with someone who doesnt seem to want it?

IfGilmore Girls taught us anything, its that family dinners can be some of the most disastrous events in our favorite characters lives. They can sometimes, however, lead to some of the best and most memorable moments of all.

There will be fighting theres no denying that. But maybe, just maybe, one or two people at that table at a minimum will walk away better off than they were when they sat down.

There are actually a lot of fans rooting for Maggie and Dean (fromStation 19) to get together. And honestly? It just might work.
