A few still living people have appeared on the beach as well as they entered Meredith’s hospital room, including Dr. Miranda Bailey (Chandra Wilson) and Dr. Richard Webber (James Pickens Jr.).
This has raised the question amongst viewers of what exactly this place is, whether it’s a place in between the living and the dead or an illusion in Meredith’s head.
Grey’s Anatomy showrunner Krista Vernoff explained to The Hollywood Reporter they carefully crated the beach so that it would fit with “whatever your belief system is”.
To find out whether Meredith will wake up, fans will have to tune into next week’s episode.
Grey’s Anatomy season 17 airs Thursdays on ABC.
