The docs are scrubbing out, so make sure to watch Grey's Anatomy season 17 finale online — even if you don't have cable. The ABC medical drama has finally seen Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo) recover from COVID and wake up from her beach dreams. Now, she's taking on a new role at the hospital and celebrating sister Maggie's impending wedding.

Grey's Anatomy season 17 has incorporated the coronavirus pandemic into the show, with Meredith battling COVID-19 for many episodes. During her illness, she dreamt about spending time on the beach with friends and loved ones, some of whom died in previous seasons. The show featured jaw-dropping cameos from former stars Patrick Dempsey as Derek Shepherd, T.R. Knight as George O'Malley, Chyler Leigh as Lexie Grey and Eric Dane as Mark Sloan.

Grey's Anatomy season 17 finale is titled "Someone Saved My Life Tonight." It's wedding day for Maggie (Kelly McCreary) and Winston (Anthony Hill), but will they get a chance to actually say "I do" or will their nuptials be disrupted? Meanwhile, Meredith starts her new role of overseeing the internship program and Jo makes a life-changing decision.
