It is 2007. Grey's Anatomy has been on the air for about 3 years now. Ellen Pompeo, freshly married to her husband, Chris Ivery, finds out he wasn't as great as she thought he was while they were dating.

Meredith Grey lost the love of her life, husband, and father of her children a year ago. She hasn't been able to live fully without him and doesn't feel fulfilled, but is still going through the motions.
