Meredith and Andrew (Ellen Pompeo and Giacomo Gianniotti)

Dr. Grey finally told her beau she loved him — while he was in jail after falsely admitting to the insurance fraud she committed to save a child. After fessing up to her bosses, she was fired.

“Meredith said she will take [legal] responsibility [as well],” executive producer Krista Vernoff says. “Their relationship will definitely be altered by the stress they’ll go through.”
