Richard Cartwright/ABC
But the question remains: Whats next?
she is cleared to go home.
Are they getting back together?
Or will Amelias potential personality changes affect that?
EW turned to Scorsone to get the scoop.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: When had you first heard about Amelia having a brain tumor?
What was your reaction?CATERINA SCORSONE:I heard about it from Krista Vernoff.
She gave me the heads up.
My reaction was like, Oh my gosh, of course!
[Laughs] There was a giant lightbulb over my head.
Everything makes sense now!
Im trying to, on purpose, stay out of that process.
As the actor, I want to not know what she doesnt know.
I dont want to take it apart too clinically.
Which parts have to do with the tumor and which are just me?
It does seem to answer why shes made so many impulsive decisions over the years.It does make sense!
The kind of behavior that was happening in the last season or two was not sober behavior.
She has a consistency and a coherence in her values that suddenly was going all over the place.
How different is this Amelia?
Are there noticeable changes in her personality in upcoming episodes?Were still working that out now.
In this situation, its her own mortality that shes facing.
But that said, the core of her is still her.
Shes not going to become a different person.
Its not that they removed functioning parts of her brain.
Shes not going to wake up and not like the books, shows, and people that she liked.
Shell still be Amelia, shell just be tumor-free.
Could this be a new beginning for Amelia and Owen?
Is it almost like starting over for them?I think it potentially could be.
Basically, were pressing the reset button on that relationship.
It is a big one.
The standalone episode is episode 5.
We will see Amelia and Megans relationship unfold a little further in the next episode.
Megan and Owen will have some interaction about the relationship.
It will be further explored in the next one.
Is that why were seeing this flashback to Megans abduction?
How will this change her dynamic with her sisters?
Im really hopeful for them.
How does this change her drive at work?
Both of those factors could have implications for how she moves forward in life.
Again, we just dont know where one ends and the other begins.
She really has seen a lot of support from everybody.
All of the doctors in the hospital show up for her and are there to support her.
Greys Anatomyairs Thursdays at 8 p.m.
