Yahoo News Grey's Anatomy devastates fans with another shock twist
Note: This article contains huge spoilers for the latest episode of Grey's Anatomy season 15, 'Shelter from the Storm'.
Grey Sloan Memorial has more than its fair share of death and destruction, but fans still weren't expecting last night's (January 17) devastating Grey's Anatomy twist.
Yep, Shondaland has done it again.
Picking up where last year's cliffhanger finale left off, yesterday's winter premiere saw doctors battle to perform Cece Colvin's life-saving organ transplant in time.

Despite overcoming the hospital's ubiquitous obstacles – and successfully managing to give Cece the matchmaker a new heart – it didn't take long for things to turn... morbid.
Yes, even with Meredith Grey's best efforts, Cece sadly passed away after crashing on the operating table. So, as it turns out, the woman who helped heal Meredith's broken heart couldn't save her own.
In typical gut-wrenching Grey's fashion, fans watched on as Meredith promised a peaceful (and decidedly dead) Cece that she will continue dating in her honour.
"I nearly kissed the Italian one...I may kiss the other one, too, because I mean, look at him. I don't know if I'll ever find love again. But, I'm happier than I've been in a long time. I'm having fun. And when I do, I hear your voice. Thank you, Cece." #GreysAnatomy pic.twitter.com/z9ceiR3F2m

Shonda brought CeCe on the show long enough for us to fall in love with her and take her away. Classic Shonda. #GreysAnatomy pic.twitter.com/yBp9PvuSnb

Somebody sedate us, etc etc.
Fortunately for us, there is some respite for Meredith on the horizon, as one (of two) of her love interests recently promised that things will hot up between the pair.
Teasing Meredith's love triangle with Andrew DeLuca and Atticus 'Link' Lincoln, Giacomo Gianniotti said: "It's like a push and pull. It will be interesting to watch."
Grey's Anatomy continues Thursdays on ABC in the US. It airs on Sky Living and NOW TV in the UK.
