19 Moments From Season 17 Of "Grey's Anatomy" That Emotionally Destroyed Us

    Got any tissues?

    Suffice to say, Season 17 is one of the most harrowing seasons of Grey's Anatomy, which made the creative decision to honestly portray the COVID-19 crisis from the Grey Sloan frontlines.

    As per usual, the show puts Meredith Grey through the wringer. After catching the coronavirus, Meredith spends most of the season in a dream state where she meets the ghosts of her past.

    Between Addison Montgomery and Nick Marsh returning, there's a lot to love about Season 18 right now. However, we need to put some respect on Season 17, an installation that balanced special guest stars, heartbreaking exits, and, of course, a global pandemic.

    To pay homage to Season 17, let's revisit its finest, most emotionally brutal moments.
