At the end when the plane finally makes an emergency landing, they land in Sioux Falls, SD where I currently live. The detailing on the side of the airfield equipment says "Joe Boss Airfield"...they were close it's actually Joe Foss Airfield 😂

Very, very well done episode. The chemistry between Riggs and Meredith is undeniable, but it's the medical work done by the two of them that really puts this episode over the top. It's what these doctors do best, they get people to trust them, and that's always nice to see. This episode was well paced, interesting, and worth watching, where some past episodes this season have been a tad dry. My vote is 10!

This Episode begins with Meredith, she is on a plane. Meredith ended up alongside Nathan on the plane. Meredith kissed with Nathan on the airplane toilet, they have sex afterwards. The airplane got into a heavy storm. Meredith has flashbacks of the plane crash that she was in. Nathan set Candace her arm back. Meredith tells Nathan that her sister Lexie died during the plane crash. Max is puking, he is having a seizure. Meredith helps Max, she is getting the blood out of his brain. The plane has landed. Meredith chose to let Derek go, she is chosing Nathan now. Amazing Episode of Grey's Anatomy Season 13, really great Episode with a lot of action. Meredith and Nathan are finally a thing!

As a flight attendant, I find this whole episode ridiculous. The doors are not armed, there's only 2 FA's for 200 people when FAA regulations call for 1 flight attendant per 50 seats, the airplane interior doesn't match the exterior, a pilot would never exit the flight deck to talk to a passenger during a medical emergency (or any emergency really), there is no way a captain would wait two hours to land a plane, Meredith would not be allowed to have her bag at her feet at a bulkhead seat, FA's have to stand in the aisles during safety demos, flight attendants would be the first to respond to injuries and retrieve medical equipment, medical equipment isn't locked in a safe in the galley (its in an overhead bin locked with a key), the galley is twice as wide as any airplane galley, flight attendants would not be walking around during severe turbulence, if its a full flight where are the passnegers who moved sitting for landing, during a medical emergency FAs write down passenger info on a form for the pilots who contact STAT MD (or similar), flight attendants have to wait for all pssnegers to deplane before they can get off, etc.

Whoever wrote this episode didn't do their research or use common sense.

After the aircraft passes through the storm and is safe again, Dr. Grey confronts the flight attendant, and then the captain, about a medical emergency. The captain states "I don't have clearance to land. You think I haven't tried?"..."and endanger the lives of 257 people so you can save one? Absolutely not!"

it is quite unrealistic for the pilot to argue and be dismissive with the doctor, saying that she cannot and will not land the aircraft, or even prepare to do so. And this is why....

Almost anyone who has done any kind of flying, either as a pilot, or even just as a passenger, knows that a medical emergency declared on board, gives that aircraft immediate clearance over almost anything.

The FAA mandates this very seriously. The pilots, the tower controllers, and air traffic control all know this. All the pilot has to do is declare it over the radio. Air traffic control will then attempt to reroute other aircraft, give them top priority and guide them to the nearest appropriate airport.

If this argument happened in the real world, the FAA would most likely ban that pilot from flying any commercial aircraft ever again. Let alone the pilot getting blacklisted from the airline she works for. After that, they may even be imprisoned as well, as it is a federal crime to not take an airborne medical emergency seriously, as did the pilot in this episode.

This was just so unrealistic it was very hard to watch.

As a cabin crew I felt offended with this episode. In no company I've worked before you would let doctors be in charge of a situation onboard. In a medical situation cabin crew are the ones who are in charge ( we have training of first aid and the plane is our office) and in case they need assistance, they are the ones asking for medical personnel onboard. In this episode you never see the crew doing anything. Apparently they went to hide. Then the fact that there wasn't no research done is obvious. Meredith moves her seat to a bulkhead seat and keeps her belongings on her feet ( not allowed). The captain leaves the cockpit to speak with a passenger ( say what?!). The galleys are enormous (believe me, in real life they aren't!). Passengers in business are asked to move to economy when we know it's a full flight ( where they go we'll never know). And so on... just a very poor episode
