Yes! Her line "I guess this was the one" tells us so much about how they handled his job in their family. They always knew it was probably gonna come. One of the most compelling moments in recent seasons.

Yeah, how fast that went makes me wonder how close they actually were.

Well, Owen's kind of known for not handling his feelings well. He really doesn't want to talk about it, but he hates Riggs so much is that he can only stimulate others to keep him away from him, which, in this case, means his work environment. That's all he can communicate: I don't want him here. He could only tell Meredith that he really hated him, but nothing more. I'm curious to see how Owen will react in 12x09 after Meredith tells him she knows about his sister, if he'll run away or take it as a sign he can open up to her, at least. That is, of course, if Evelyn hasn't already told Meredith all about it.

I think Cristina was able to feel what he wanted to keep for himself without him having to communicate much, so we've never really seen him having to deal with situations like this on his own. I'm curious to see him it develops.
