Pretty sure it started when he used information gleaned from Mark to get a foot in the door for Lexie. And he hasn't done anything to redeem himself in my eyes. And his treatment of Stephanie was wholly unnecessary.

The jaw-punching scene? They're in a hospital. They have security guards. There are ways to restrain a patient that don't involve inflicting a VERY PAINFUL injury. I'm surprised the guy didn't press charges against Owen.

Abusers often do that. They call it the "Honeymoon period." After a big act of violence, things get good. Until she doesn't something else he doesn't like and then he blows up at her again. Yes, he's broken, and some things he does are about the PTSD (notice I didn't blame him for choking Cristina in season five), but others are just him using his strength and size against others and using his words to hurt others.
