Three weddings and a dead guy.
Alex Karev has earned a happy ending.
Needless to say, there were a lot of moving parts, so I’ll dive right in.

I entered into this nuptial-centric episode with justifiable caution and a prayer for Maggie Pierce.
Apparently, she is now helping homeless patients at a local shelter.
Although her career path has changed, her commitment to micromanaging Alex and Jo’s wedding has not.
Second surprise: Meredith doing Zola’s hair.
“Mom, I don’t think love is like candy,” she says.
“I don’t think you’re able to be too greedy for it.
And I don’t think you could fill up on it.”
I’m officially starting a petition for more Zola content.
Everyone is thrilled, except Meredith.
She’ll have to come up with something more persuasive.
Even a few interns made the cut.
When the church doors open and the procession begins, music begins to play in the background.
It would have been a beautiful moment…if only they were at the right venue.
By the look on Owen’s face, this is an idea he’s not opposed to considering.
Meredith is still scheming to keep Alex in Seattle.
Mere bursts into Jo’s bridal suite to offer her a position as an attending at Grey Sloan.
It was a moment just sweet enough to stir up the urge for a quickie.
Alex kicks in the door, and the couple makes the dusty, pitch-black room a temporary love shack.
Miranda reveals that she’s also seeking a lifestyle change.
Miranda needed no further persuading.
I half expected Maury Povich to waltz up with lie detector results and a bowtie for the occasion.
Luckily, the two were able to maneuver the situation maturely.
How’s that premarital quickie going, you ask?
That’s one way to check “Something Old” off the bridal checklist.
Instead, he serves her a lecture about not manipulating Jo’s career for her own selfish benefit.
It seems Amelia and Owen might have a second chance at love in their future.
However, this is only to make a much more dramatic speech.
She’s allergic to shellfish but somehow eaten a shrimp hors d’oeuvre.
What better place to collapse into anaphylactic shock than at an event crawling with doctors?
At this point, I’m blaming Jo and Alex and their blatant disrespect of wedding-day superstitions.
I hope that sounds as sloppy as it was.
Deluca kicks in the door, and they’re finally free.
A quick commercial break brings on a change of location to a Ferry Boat.
Back at the abandoned wedding venue, Matthew finds April sulking about the disaster the day has been.
However, when he drops to one knee, her mood does a complete 180.
Overwhelmed with joy, she agrees to marry him.
They’re both single and suddenly every text Callie sends her brings a smile to her face.
Richard and April use their pasts of pain and healing in love to encourage her to embrace the feeling.
I wish more than everSara Ramirez had given fans the cameothey were craving for this moment.
It’s during this emotional moment, that Teddy gestures to her abdomen.
