Thursday was the return of the hit medical drama Grey's Anatomy. After what felt like a long winter break Grey's Anatomy returned with a very special episode entitled 1800-799-7233. The Episode picks up where we left off in November where Jo ( Camilla Luddington) runs into her abusive ex- husband Paul (Matthew Morrison). I thought this episode was amazing and did a great job addressing the subject of Domestic Violence not only by having a PSA about Domestic Violence, but also having the phone number for the National Domestic Violence hotline as the title of the episode. I really give credit to Shonda Rimes and the entire team and cast for doing this storyline because in my opinion this subject does not get enough attention and to me a lot of shows tend to stay away from this subject because it could be to triggering or hard for an audience to watch. I really enjoyed watching Jo Stand up to her ex- husband during the episode because she was finally able to make her voice heard and put an end to the pain and fear she had been carrying with her since she came to the show and you can really feel the emotion Jo had during the episode. I really enjoyed the scenes with Jo and Paul's girlfriend Jenny ( Bethany Joy Lenz) as Jo told Jenny about her relationship with Paul and the abuse she suffered from him. I also loved the moment when Jo gave her number to Jenny as a outlet for support. Next Thursday episode continues with this storyline where Paul is injured in an accident and is suddenly a patient at Grey-Sloan Memorial.
