It is a truth universally acknowledged that when a genial character called "Pop-Pop" is introduced into a long-running series like Grey's Anatomy he is destined to be a human sacrifice to the gods of tragedy. Season 15 otherwise rolls along with Meredith (Ellen Pompeo and her $20 million a season pay cheque) getting all kinds of cosy with the "sad man on the couch" DeLuca, while a patient turns up with a red stiletto impaled into her chest – ouch – and a back stabilisation procedure using injectable cement – double ouch – may or may not go horribly wrong. Just another day at the office, then.
