Possibly. We know that Adele looked the other way (Possibly literally) during Richard's affair and refused to get too into detail about it (When she didn't have Alzhiemer's). When she had Alzheimer's, she thought Meredith was Ellis, so Meredith basically got to see once again, what went on during that whole situation. But as for Thatcher, Meredith asked for his side of the story in 2.18, but he was so shocked that Meredith was on his front porch, he never told his side. Probably because the writers didn't have an idea for the whole situation yet. I know Ellis had no problem telling Thatcher to leave, but the fact Thatcher was resistant to leaving may be that he wanted to take Meredith with him and out of the affair situation. He also knew there was an affair (As shown in The Time Warp when he gave Richard this nasty look) and was still angry at him in 2.20, 2.21, or 2.22. Whatever episode Lexie was first mentioned.
