Near the end of season 14, Meredith cares for super dreamy transplant surgeon Dr. Nick Marsh (Scott Speedman). They talk about their careers, children, life, and everything in between. You really get the sense that it's the first time that Meredith has so effortlessly connected with someone since Derek. We're still holding out a candle for him, even if he's probably back working at the Mayo Clinic far, far away. True love doesn't die!
