Plot: Season seven definitely pulls through with Grey's melodrama, albeit sometimes overly so. It steadily explores the emotional consequences after the horrific shooting in season six, especially for Meredith and Cristina. We also learn that Adele has Alzheimer's, and Meredith, acting on emotion, switches her clinical treatment. Of course, there's the Calzona plot, in which Arizona goes to Africa and Callie's pregnant with Mark's baby.
Ending: There's a whole lot of satisfying drama going on in the last episode, but nothing disastrous for the surgeons. Cristina's pregnant. Henry and Teddy make it official. Meredith gets suspended for tampering with the trial, and her relationship with Derek becomes incredibly thorny, even though they've received temporary custody of Zola.
Weepiness: Season seven is definitely more jaw-dropping that teary, if we're completely honest. That said, we may have shed a tear or two because of Sara Ramirez's beautiful singing chops in the divisive musical episode.
