The fight is on to diagnose and save Richard on Grey’s Anatomy Season 16 Episode 20, airing tonight at 9/8c on ABC.
While Maggie, Meredith, and Amelia work together to run tests on Weber, Maggie is checking out the headlines following Richard’s claim that he had a cure for cancer.
The internet is ablaze with memes of Richard, as well as negative headlines that make him sound like a conspiracy theorist, according to a new sneak peek of the episode.
“Famous surgeon implodes at medical conference,” says one headline, while another says:
“Medical meltdown of the year.”
“It doesn’t stop,” a defeated Maggie says.
Unfortunately, it also looks like the nightmare will have much more far-reaching consequences.
“Catherine’s on the phone with the foundation publicist to try to scrub it all from the internet which isn’t really possible,” says Meredith chiming in.
Catherine probably feels guilty because she thought Richard was drunk at the event, but she will also be worried about her foundation.
She and Richard have locked horns a lot recently over their relationship, and have seemingly called it quits.
This event will either push them further apart, or help bring them closer. It all depends how Catherine takes the foundation being dragged through the mud.
As for what the man of the hour is up to in this clip, he’s offering out demands about his treatment.
“Inspect the peritoneum and surface of the liver for metastasis,” he says.
It’s a scene filled with humor but also dread because we don’t know what’s coming next.
Here’s the official clip of the episode.
