How to read the timeline
These romances differ in both commitment and circumstance. Derek and Nick represent longer relationships, while Will’s arc is brief and Hayes’s remains a possibility. Finn’s story overlaps with Meredith’s unresolved feelings for Derek; Riggs’s develops amid Meredith’s concern for Maggie and is changed by Megan’s return. After Derek’s death, grief shapes Meredith’s readiness for Will and the relationships that follow.
For the show’s current season and episode listings, ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy page lists season 22 episodes and points viewers to Hulu; availability can vary by territory and change over time.
