It is not easy to keep the fans hooked for a long time but
Grey’s Anatomy has managed to do it for over 16 years.

Let’s refresh our memories by going over the most intense
season finales that the show has witnessed.

Season 6 finale

The episode titled “Death and All his Friends” manages to
give goosebumps even now. It started off with a grieving husband going on a
shooting spree inside the hospital with the aim of finishing off Derek Shepherd
who was eventually shot. It saw Meredith throwing her life on the line in order
to save her lover.

Season 8 finale

A bunch of doctors lost their lives when they boarded a helicopter
in order to perform a surgery. The helicopter crashed in the middle of nowhere.
Meredith’s younger sister Lexie Grey succumbed to the crash while Derek’s hand
was severely damaged and Arizona’s leg injured beyond repair. The episode was
the kind that silences the whole room.

Season 1 finale

This episode is often overlooked in the fans’ discussion but
it came with a bombshell that no one expected. It revealed that the man Meredith
had been falling for was married. Addison waked through the hospital doors and the
fans’ jaws dropped onto the floor.

Season 3 finale

The episode titled ‘Didn’t We Almost Have It All’ crushed
the soul of every person who watched it. While most of the couples on the show
were going through a tough time, Cristina was on the altar waiting for Burke…who
did not come. It was one of Sandra Oh’s most memorable performances on the show
and also the last we saw of Addison Shepherd.

Season 13 Finale

The farewell episode of Stephanie Edwards etched her
character in the memory of all the fans. Stephanie managed to set a rapist on
her and saved the life of a little girl in the process while paying no heed to
her own safety.
