Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) visits Catherine Fox (guest star Debbie Allen) to let her know that she's delivered her Alzheimer's research -- but not to the Catherine Fox Foundation. She's put it online and sent it to the National Institutes of Health. And another thing: She's resigned from her position. From the season 20 finale of 'Grey's Anatomy,' episode 10, 'Burn It Down.' Watch 'Grey's Anatomy' on ABC. Stream on Hulu.

I love Meredith's response here. It's common knowledge that she and her mother never saw eye to eye, and that she has worked incredibly hard to be the kind of person her mother couldn't be. There's no way Catherine doesn't know this, when she deliberately uses it to attack her, to try and manoeuvre her into giving in by exploiting Meredith's history of doing the opposite of what her mother would have done in so many other situations. But in this, when Meredith knew she was right, she took the one important detail where she *is* like her mother and leaned in. Because Meredith will be ruthless when she needs to be, to defend what she believes is right.

I don't think Catherine tries to attack her when she says Meredith is just like her mother. She's worked with Meredith long enough to know that Meredith and Ellis share the same stubbornness to act on what they believe is right. To me, it sounds like frustration because Catherine knows she can't change Meredith's mind. However, I do think Catherine is vengeful enough to get some sort of revenge against Meredith. Even though Meredith is a world-renowned surgeon and is well-connected, it's probably nowhere near the influence Catherine has as the chairwoman of the Fox Foundation. Depending on how well received Meredith's abstract is, I think it's possible that Catherine will indirectly try to make it difficult for Meredith to continue her research. Even though Meredith will ultimately win if her theory is proven correct, I think Catherine will try to stick it to Meredith in some shape or form.

She is attacking her the same way Derek did when he said the same when meredith decided not to move to DC. Hopefully yang comes and helps with funds to continue with the research

Go Meredith!! Catherine's little power trip shouldn't be standing in the way of science that could help millions of people strive off the disease and spare the agony of their loved ones watching them disappear. Researching Alzheimer's was Meredith's reason to move to Boston in the first place and she just went where the science pointed her. Derek would be proud

Cathrine has gotten on my last nerve these last couple of episodes. Glad Meredith said what she said. Catherine was out of line professionally for that statement she made about Meredith’s mother. Catherine may have meant it as an insult, but Meredith turned it into a compliment. Way to go Meredith!

Meredith literally saw her mother disappear little by little because of her Alzheimer diagnosis. She has the gene, which means that she could eventually get Alzheimer. Catherine is a powerful woman that likes to remind everyone that she can control everything. If she goes after Meredith, it is over for her. She'll definitely be loosing Richard. Jackson wouldn't be too happy about it and would defend Meredith. So will (almost) all of the attending, nurses, surgeons and hospital staff.

THIS!! 1000000% THIS!!! Catherine's ego will cost her a hell of a lot. Her little power trip cost the hospital at least four good doctors, two of whom now have a major medical breakthrough attached to their names. I'm going to be very interested to see the downfall of Catherine next season. Also, I feel like she knows Ellis is the true love of Richard's life and she is jealous. She's competing with not only Meredith, who Richard views as a daughter, but also the ghost of Ellis. It's why she was so frosty to Maggie who is tangible proof Ellis and Richard's affair

Catherine probably won't go after Meredith directly, but depending on how much interest Meredith's and Amelia's abstract generates, it is possible she will use her connections and indirectly make it difficult for Meredith to continue her research. Also, Catherine did see value in Meredith's research and was willing to look into it further, but she wasn't willing to let Meredith and Amelia head the research team anymore. Let's not forget Meredith committed insubordination by secretly researching something that Catherine explicitly told her not to do. If Catherine hadn't found out what Meredith was doing when she discovered that Teddy was secretly funding Meredith's work with discretionary funds, Meredith would've posted the abstract as part of the Fox Foundation, which Catherine would not allow, fearing potential blowback. Catherine needed to let Meredith know that her insubordination had consequences, so she gave Meredith a choice. Either give up the research to Koracick and allow Amelia and Teddy to keep their jobs or refuse to give up the research and all three would be fired.

Here is the thing - in the 90s ppl thought metal poisoning from using aluminum was a possible source of the disease, than the neurological stuff that was in Derek's study. Now though its suspected that the gut bacteria play a role It changes but this type of thing is why discoveries get supressed because of people s concern of legacy, life s work or reputation.

How much power does Cathrine even have at the Foundation exactly? I thought when Jackson left, the whole point was for him to take over, leaving with Catherine less power. I'm saying this cause couldn't have Meredith simply called Jackson to help her out in this situation? Just saying.

@miisty6438 3 ай бұрын

Jackson is running the other hospitals as they're all over the country. Since Jesse Williams has left the show and Catherine lives with Richard in Seattle it would make more sense for her to keep an eye on Grey Sloan, notice how she isn't in every episode just pops in when she's needed. Also it's not about who has more power she still owns the foundation so has the final say Jackson was only ever managing it but will obviously receive benefits/funds as he's her son.

She wasn't going to hide the truth. After listening to Meredith and Amelia, she saw the value of their research and was willing to continue it, provided that Meredith and Amelia agreed to turn over their research to Dr. Koracick as punishment for insubordination. Catherine is furious because 1) Meredith posted her abstract without telling Catherine beforehand. 2) Meredith didn't go to Catherine first about resigning. She told Richard first and went to Catherine as a formality.

I'm a little out of the loop. Why does Catherine not want Meredith to potentially cure Alzheimer's?? Like what does she gain from keeping it unknown?

@TERRA_-uk5gg 3 ай бұрын

She doesn't want to bury it, but I guess she wanted to hold off on telling the medical community until she had more solid evidence backing Meredith's theory. This is because Meredith's theory contradicts what many doctors have theorized about Alzheimer's, which could spark a potential negative backlash (reputationally and financially) against the Fox Foundation because Meredith works for the Foundation. That's why, after hearing Meredith's reasons for disobeying her and seeing the interesting results Meredith and Amelia had gathered, she was willing to spend more resources on their research under certain conditions (Meredith and Amelia could no longer work on the research and must turn all their research to Dr. Koracick. In exchange, Meredith, Amelia, and Teddy would keep their jobs. [Basically punishment for Meredith's insubordination]) However, Catherine's angry at Meredith because, to her, Meredith just sucker-punched her. Meredith didn't give her a heads-up about releasing her abstract to the public before she uploaded it on the NIH website. Meredith didn't come to her first about resigning. She simply told Richard and went to Catherine as a formality.

The most tone deaf medical TV drama. Continually disregarding the reality's contribution and patients preferences of stern & highly skilled Filipino/Filipina Nurses when confined; the brilliance of Doctors with Indian & Persian (Iranian) blood heritage; and the like. Most of this shows projections are all prim and white medical personnel which are actually unrealistic.
