Where We Left Off: Meredith compromised the Alzheimer’s clinical trial to help the Chief’s wife, Adele, and was suspended; she and Derek fought just as they got custody of baby Zola; Teddy decided to try and make it work with her sick husband-for-insurance Henry; and goody-two-shoes April was named Chief Resident.

What's Next: Alex is on the outs with everyone again after ratting on Meredith. Owen will take the reins as Chief, while his wife Cristina contemplates aborting their unborn baby. Speaking of babies, Meredith is still raising Zola solo while she and Derek try to work things out.

Season 8 premieres Thurs., Sept. 22, 9PM ET on ABC
