What to Expect from the Grey’s Anatomy Season 22 Finale: Bridge Over Troubled Water
Two characters’ lives hang in the balance on Grey’s Anatomy Season 22 Episode 18, “Bridge Over Troubled Water,” the season finale.
Richard announces an “all hands on deck situation” after a bridge collapse that causes several injuries and sends dozens of victimes to the hospital.
Teddy worries about Owen, knowing he takes that bridge to work regularly and had been on it when he left a voicemail during the previous episode.
What the promo video shows in regard to Owen doesn’t look promising, either. There’s a quick shot of him in his car, which is filling up with water.
We know that both Kevin McKidd and Kim Raver are exiting the series after this season. Hopefully, those exits won’t include a tragic ending.
The promo video also shows Nick Marsh being brought in on an ambulance, and the situation appears dire. Meredith can’t possibly lose another man she loves in an accident… right?
We’ll have to wait and see. It is noteworthy, after all, that Scott Speedman is now the lead on another ABC series, RJ Decker.
Here’s everything you need to know about this episode, including the air date, cast, promo, and how to watch.
