“It’S’S’S A TEPPOO such complicated and we have never done it Gray’s. Everyone you speak with have very strong feelings for him. Kevin (McKidd) And I really worried, like, ‘Ok, wait, this is really a complex terrain.’ We both love this couple and the years we’ve built it (along with showrunner) I (Marinis) and writers, ”said Raver, 56 The weekly During an exclusive interview on Thursday, April 3, the episode of the medical drama. “gray It has never left the topic really intense, controversial, so this is such entertainment to do. “
Raver credited Marinis about how she approached the story line.
“Meg has been so unbelievable. We have had some landing on (discussing),” How do we protect the characters we love in this situation, but also open, say, dialogue for it? , ”She explained. “Teddy and Owen have argued for so long and they are not accompanying. When we were talking with meg, it came from a place where Owen and Teddy love each other so deep that they are not ready to leave the relationship. So what do you do?”
While Teddy and Owen founded in the March 27 episode that one of the rules of their open marriage is to keep things physical and not create an emotional connection with someone else, Raver agreed with we This would be difficult for these characters.
“Teddy and Owen are so exciting! And their whole relationship has always been many bumps, shocked,” Raver said before referring to Teddy’s past tedo with Tom Koracick (Greg Germann). “My big thing about Meg was, Teddy really was confused when she cheated and if Teddy has evolved at all, it can’t be just a wedding indefinite, open. It should be much deeper and much more stratified. I think the fans also responded, like” Oh, thank God. They are finally honest. “”
In Thursday’s episode, Teddy is reunited with the Cass trauma surgeon (Sophia bush), who is in her open marriage to her husband David.
“She’s so fantastic,” Raver withdrew from Bush. “She’s super intelligent, super generous. For an actress to enter a group that has been together for so long and be so positive – she’s an extraordinary addition.”
While the two women had previously felt sparks during an episode of November 2024, Teddy withdrew. This time, Teddy and Cass acted in their feelings.
“We’re making this love scene together and I would be like, ‘wait, wait, wait, wait, have an idea.” And it would be like, ‘wait, what?’ Mid-Kiss! And then she would be like, ‘Ok, brilliant, let’s do it,’ “Raver told the direction of their makeout. We are so lucky to have it playing Cass because it is a complex role. Everyone loves it. I felt so lucky. She is really a woman who supports other women. “
Raver added that she thinks Bush “makes the whole relationship come out.”
“On the camera, she has this extraordinary, like, to shine for her,” she continued. “This is this easy, really wonderful quality. There is someone who goes inside and disrupts a marriage. Its character is really illuminating that there are other ways other than traditional ways of having a relationship, and that everyone has to choose their way.”
Raver noted that Cass is not “forcing” anything in Teddy. “What is interesting about this episode is Teddy,” I’m completely ready to have that conversation, “she said. “It’s also about consent, and I think this is a really important thing. The consent from all ends – the consent from Owen, the consent from Cass, Teddy being mature and delightful at the end of it. It is a very conscious exploration of this open marriage.”
As Teddy and Cass heated and heavy for a minute, fans see that Teddy actually changes her mind in the middle of loss.
“I think it’s really amazing that Teddy comes in realization before, as, making love. She’s like,” That won’t fix my marriage. I thought this would be an arrangement, “Raver said.” For her, she realizes she feels a lot like deception, and feels a lot like the way she had been before. “
Owen, in turn, passes the episode with Nora (Floriana Lima).
“So many layers and it’s so complicated,” Raver said. “Floriana is another amazing, generous, fantastic, talented woman.

At the end of the episode, fans have remained insecure about what is other for Owen and Teddy.
“I love the moment” Oh my Lord “where people are throwing things on television, going,”? !! Seed? “,” Raver said we. “The way you go to black, and there is this Cappella music. I wanted this to be so shocking.”
Raver also warns fans to prepare for the remaining episodes in the season.
