The episode focuses on the dinner party Dr. Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo), Dr. Maggie Pierce (Kelly McCreary), and Dr. Amelia Shepherd (Caterina Scorsone) are hosting, during which Dr. Callie Torres' (Sara Ramirez) new girlfriend Dr. Penelope Blake (Samantha Sloyan) creates tension for the guests when it is revealed that she was one of Derek's doctors when he died.

Meredith immediately recognizes Penny as the doctor who told her about Derek’s death. At first Meredith just tries avoiding her at all costs, but once Penny confronts her, Meredith tells her that they aren’t going to talk about their history. Instead, Penny is to make small talk with everyone but her. Maggie fears that a possible UTI might be an STD contracted from having sex with Andrew. Even though Maggie is supposed to be cooking dinner, she takes off to the hospital to be tested. With Maggie now gone, a bored April volunteers to cook dinner and recruits the help of others to get the job done. As Callie takes Penny around to introduce her to everyone, Callie gets paged into the hospital for an emergency consult. Penny insists on leaving with Callie, but Callie demands that she stay and hangout as she’ll only be gone a short while. Callie asks Meredith to look after Penny and make sure she feels welcome. Once dinner is on the table, everyone gathers around to begin eating. As conversation begins to ensue, Penny mentions Callie by her full name, Calliope. Arizona, who has had a little bit too much to drink, remarks that she used to call Callie that. Penny responds that her full name is actually Penelope, so she and Callie have that in common. When Penny reveals her real name, Bailey instantly recognizes her. Penny Blake is going to be the new transfer resident at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital. This news pushes Meredith over the edge, so she finally tells everyone just exactly who Penny is. The news floors everyone. Meredith takes off upstairs, so Alex follows her. Downstairs, Amelia, who is distraught by her friendly interaction with Penny, lashes out at her demanding to know every detail of the night Derek died. Just in time, Callie and Owen return from the hospital. Despite Owen and Callie’s pleas, Amelia continues to scream and holler at Penny, eventually kicking her out of the house. Amelia runs upstairs to be with Meredith, telling her that they’ll file an appeal to keep Penny out of the hospital. Meredith finally tells Amelia that she’s had enough. She’s upset that she has to be strong for her three kids while Amelia gets to break down. Amelia only lost her brother, while Meredith lost her husband and the father of her three kids. Becoming more and more outraged, Meredith screams, “Get out of my room! Get her out before I kill her!” Owen and Amelia go to Amelia’s room where she confides in Owen about her imperfect life. She feels inferior to him because his life seems so perfect; he’s always calm and logical. Owen consoles Amelia by telling her about the plane crash and how he felt relief when it was possible that Cristina might have been dead. He goes on to say that while he would have been sad, they and their relationship would have been frozen in time. It would have been easier. Owen tells Amelia that they aren’t perfect, but that it’s ok that they aren’t. On the front porch, Penny is trying to call a cab but is interrupted by Callie. Callie asks her why she never told her about Derek. Penny claims that she didn’t know if Callie even knew who he was, to which Callie says, “He was my friend.” Torn by the breaking news, Callie is unsure of where this leaves them. Inside, Jo and Stephanie try to mend their strained friendship. Initially, Jo apologizes for not believing her when she told Amelia about her childhood. Jo continues by saying how they have more in common than they first realized. Jo overcame a crappy childhood, and Stephanie overcame an illness. Once the comparison was made, Stephanie turns the table and finds fault in the comparison. Stephanie once again becomes angry with Jo, because she thinks that Jo has to “level” the playing field instead of just admitting that Stephanie is better than she is. Back at the hospital, Maggie is waiting on a doctor to come test her for any possible STDs; however, the doctor who was assigned to her turns out to be Andrew. Maggie is so embarrassed by the situation that she asks for another doctor; however, she gets stuck with Andrew and they eventually work out their problems. Meredith and Alex are left alone in Meredith’s room where Meredith tells Alex he can go. As her new person, he decides to stay and share a bottle of tequila. Meredith goes downstairs to make sure everyone has left and lock the door, but before she goes back upstairs, Penny runs into her. Penny apologizes once again, saying that she thinks about that night every single day. She thinks about what Meredith said to her and how she needed to be better. Penny offers to put in a request to be matched with a different program, but Meredith responds that she’ll see her Monday and to not be late. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Guess Who's Coming to Dinner (Grey's Anatomy)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
