The '''ninth season''' of [[Grey's Anatomy]] premiered September 27, 2012 and ended May 16, 2013. It was broadcast on Thursday nights at 9 PM on [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]]. The season consists of 24 episodes.  

==Summary==
It's a year of bold new beginnings as your favorite doctors return to Seattle Grace for the biggest challenge of their lives. The plane crash that took the lives of Lexie Grey and Mark Sloan sent shockwaves throughout the hospital. But from the ashes, romance will rise, with each surgeon handling the loss in their own personal way. Meredith finds her groove in the operating room while Derek's hand injury forces him to focus on something other than surgery. And as Mark prepares to say goodbye, Alex falls for someone new, Cristina tries to rekindle the flame with Owen, and Bailey and Ben discover the perils of a long-distance relationship.

==Plots==
*Mark Sloan dies after he's taken off of life support.
*Meredith mourns Lexie and is supportive to Derek, who may never operate again.
*Cristina flees from Seattle and takes a job in Minnesota.
*Callie is supportive to Arizona who had to have her leg amputated, but Arizona is not happy that Callie made the call to amputate her leg.
*Callie tries to come up with a plan to guarantee a full recovery for Derek's hand.
*Cristina comes back to Seattle when her [[Craig Thomas|mentor]] in Minnesota dies.
*April and Jackson are trying to figuring out their relationship, but eventually break up.
*Bailey and Ben's wedding gets postponed when Bailey has to save Adele Webber, though Adele later dies.
*Jackson starts a relationship with [[Stephanie Edwards]], a surgical intern.
*Alex and intern [[Jo Wilson]] befriend each other over their pasts.
*The plane crash survivors and Callie (as Mark's proxy) are awarded 15 million dollars each. As the insurance company refuses to pay because of a loophole in the contract, the hospital has to pay.
*As there isn't enough money to pay, the hospital goes bankrupt. Therefore, a [[Alana Cahill|physician advisor]] is hired to find way to save the hospital money. The ER closes as a saving measure.
*Seeing the hospital can't be saved by saving money, it is decided that the only way it can be saved is by having it bought. Pegasus, a company interested in buying the hospital, turns out to completely ruin it. Callie convinces the other doctors from the plane crash to try to buy the hospital themselves.
*Much to Alex's chagrin, Jo starts dating Jason Myers, on OB/GYN resident. April starts dating paramedic Matthew Taylor.
*Meredith, Derek, Cristina, Arizona, and Callie stand together in order to ruin the hospital's deal with Pegasus.
*When the plane crash survivors realize they don't have enough money to buy the hospital, they call in Richard and race against the clock to convince a billionaire to fund them before Pegasus, who's back in, closes in. Cristina tells Owen about their plan and he convinces the board not to make a deal with Pegasus. However, the billionaire decides not to go with their plan, and the interns and other doctors at SGMW plan for what they believe will be their imminent departure.
*[[Catherine Fox|Catherine Avery]] surprises the doctors when she reveals the Harper Avery Foundation will fund the plane crash doctors to buy the hospital, but only if Jackson can sit on the board of directors as their representative.
*Jackson, doing everything the Harper Avery Foundation wants him to, and Meredith, Derek, Cristina, Callie, and Arizona adjust to their new roles as members of the board of directors, while Owen quits when rumor spreads the Harper Avery Foundation would like to replace him.
*Jackson decides the Foundation has to listen to the board and not vice versa. He reinstitutes Owen as Chief of Surgery and the board decides to rename the hospital to "[[Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital]]".
*The brand new ER opens its doors with modern equipment.
*Meredith and Derek find out they are pregnant, and it is later revealed that it's a boy.
*Owen bonds with Ethan, a boy whose parents were injured in a car crash. His father is in a coma, and his mother dies because of a brain bleed shortly after Derek fixes the brain damage from the car crash.
*Three of Bailey's patients come to the hospital with a post-op infection that ultimately kills all of them. The CDC is called in to investigate. Bailey gets angry when she overhears Richard saying to one of the patient's parents that she was responsible for the infection (he was actually trying to ease them).
*Ethan's grandmother comes to Seattle for her grandson, only for her to confess that she can't take Ethan, worrying Owen.
*Bailey refuses to operate anymore and shuts everyone out, except for her husband.
*Lauren Boswell, a craniofacial specialist, arrives at the hospital to help out with a case and starts flirting with Arizona.
*Jason hits Jo during a fight.
*A superstorm comes to Seattle, forcing the doctors to be creative in the dark when there's a power outage and the back-up generators don't work.
*As Owen confesses to himself he'd like to take Ethan, Cristina manages to wake Ethan's father up from his coma.
*Matthew proposes to April and she says yes.
*Meredith takes a fall on the stairs.
*Arizona gives in to Lauren's flirting and cheats on Callie. Callie later finds out about this and, after a big fight, it turns out Arizona still hasn't forgiven her for making the call to cut off her leg.
*Cristina and Owen divorce because she knows she won't be enough for him as Owen really wants a child.
*Alex confesses his love to Jo and they kiss.
*April confesses to Jackson that she loves him and that she won't get married if he tells her not to.
*Baby [[Derek Bailey Shepherd]] is delivered through a C-section in the dark and Bailey is forced to operate again when Meredith's spleen has to be taken out.
*In the basement of the hospital, Richard gets electrocuted, ending the season with his life being in jeopardy.

==Notes and Trivia==
*Grey's Anatomy was officially renewed for a ninth season on May 11, 2012.{{Source}}
*This is first season of either [[Private Practice]] or [[Grey's Anatomy]] in which [[Shonda Rhimes]] wasn't the credited writer for a single episode. She revealed in a blog post that this was because all of the writers have worked together since the first seasons, so they all write the episodes like Shonda would do it herself.{{Source}}
*It's the first season of [[Grey's Anatomy]] in which [[Kate Walsh]] doesn't appear as [[Addison Forbes Montgomery|Addison Montgomery]].
*This is the first season since her introduction in season three not to feature [[Chyler Leigh]] as [[Lexie Grey]].
*This is the first season since the premiere of [[Private Practice]] in which no characters from one have crossed over to the other, as [[Private Practice]] ended its final season with only 13 episodes.
*It's the first and only season since her introduction not to feature [[Amelia Shepherd]].
*This is the first and only season of the show not to feature any surgeon still in their residency as part of the main cast.
*All of the main characters appeared in every episode of the season, except for [[Mark Sloan]], who died after two episodes, and [[Arizona Robbins]], who did not appear in [[Beautiful Doom|one episode]].
*The filming for this season was wrapped up at May 1, 2013.
*[[Meredith Grey]] narrates all voice overs this season, except for two:
**[[Alex Karev]] did the voice over for [[The Face of Change]].
**[[Miranda Bailey]] did the voice over for [[Sleeping Monster]].
*On the DVD cover, Meredith stills wears light blue scrubs. They normally should be navy blue, as she is an attending as of this season.
*[[Jessica Capshaw|Jessica Capshaw's]] appearances are rather scarce in the first few episodes of the season due to her maternity leave.{{Source}}
