We’ll probably witness how Meredith and Hayes’ relationship evolves in the eighth season. Meredith may be adamant on returning to the front lines as soon as possible, but the other doctors are unlikely to agree.

The hospital’s staff has been immunised, which should provide some protection against the infection. Their battle with Covid-19, on the other hand, is expected to continue in the new season.

Teddy might be able to move on from Andrew’s death. We’ll also discover how Meredith copes without Jackson and what role Dr. Alan Hamilton, Meredith’s mother’s old friend, plays in her life.
