Grey’s Anatomy Season 19 Episode 16 Recap – Gunpowder and Lead
Obviously, the episodes have been filmed earlier and they are just being broadcast right now. But the fact that they predicted the violent trend to rise in the past speaks a lot about the kind of society the world is living in. At the same time, these topics really do not feel preachy, and instead, we see how they work really well with the theme that has been set by the creators for this season.
The story begins with Randall’s case. He was shot at the grocery store and did not even realize how severely it had damaged his system. Owen soon also gets involved in the gun violence situation and this case is just too much for him. Throughout the episode, we saw them two connecting with each other over the same issues.
At the same time, the episode also gave us a thoughtful insight into the question, “What has happened to the country we live in? The world that we live in?”. It was revealed that mass shootings have become so frequent currently in the States that citizens do not even give it a second thought anymore. Sometimes, reporters won’t even bring it up anymore because everything is just old news.
In fact, this is just as severe as any other hate crime happening in the country. As Owen was done with the surgery for Russell, there were two other patients walking in from gun violence as they have suffered major injuries. Owen is very frustrated about the whole scenario because all he can do right then is pull out the bullets and patch the wounds up. At the same time, Bailey’s harassment did not go unnoticed in the episode. Everyone reached out to the victims and heard their stories.
