Back to Teddy for me. I love her and I enjoy going back to watch old episodes with her. Her way of grieving made for some great storylines. It's so interesting because she had to grieve all on her own, while with other character deaths, like George's, the whole team grieved and comforted each other together. Even those who chose to primarily grieve on their own, like Bailey shutting everyone out, felt the support of others. Teddy on the other hand did it all on her own. Her husband died, she blamed her best friend for it, Arizona and Callie seemed not to be really there for her and her closest other friend was her pupil, her position thus preventing her from grieving with her. I found it really interesting how that all played out. It also made for some great scenes to show Kim Raver's amazing acting talent. The scene in 8.10 where she goes to see Henry's corpse, in 8.14 where she tells Owen how much she hates him (even though a little over the line, amazing acting) and in 8.21, where she keeps ranting about Owen until Bailey stops her and tells her that she needs to stop looking at Owen as the one who killed her husband, as he was not to blame for that.

Those were all pretty memorable scenes to me, and not to mention episode 8.18. This episode is in my memory one of the most Teddy-centric episodes and I loved it. Teddy being in a grief group and just starting to laugh at the woman who names a non-existing heart condition as the reason of her husband's death, the old couple she treated, and the way she finally realized she was in the bathroom of the hospital. I love every single Teddy scene in that episode.
