In the first heart-pounding episode of a two-part Grey's Anatomy finale, the Seattle Grace doctors are faced with a terrifying day at work.

The penultimate episode starts with a bang, as the hospital is hit with a crisis more perilous than any other in its history. With a deadly threat on the loose, the facility is forced into lock-down as other emergency services rush to their aid. Isolated from their colleagues, and unable to leave their own departments, the surgeons must battle to save the lives of their patients - and each other.

As the crisis unfolds, and the death toll rises, the threat is soon revealed to have a very personal resonance for one of the doctors in the building. With danger mounting, a truly shocking conclusion changes Meredith's (Ellen Pompeo) life forever.

The wise-talking junior surgeons face the ultimate test of their sensitivity when a morbidly obese man is admitted to the hospital, in tonight's Grey's Anatomy.

As Bailey (Chandra Wilson) hastily coaches the team with mandatory empathy training, it soon becomes clear they're being prepared for a very specific reason - a 300kg patient is about to arrive at Seattle Grace suffering from a rare flesh-eating illness. As the super-sized patient's condition deteriorates, it's apparent he must go through a risky surgery if he has any hope of surviving, but he refuses to undergo the procedure. Can they convince him to take the chance?

Elsewhere, Cristina (Sandra Oh) looks after the daughter of a patient, which brings a long-hidden childhood trauma to the surface, and Derek (Patrick Dempsey) comes face-to-face with a former patient's husband in a wrongful death deposition.

The past comes back to haunt Owen (Kevin McKidd), as he succumbs to his dark side, tonight on Grey's Anatomy.

When Teddy's (Kim Raver) cancer patient, Kim (Sara Gilbert, The Big Bang Theory and Roseanne), decides to end her treatment and her life, Teddy turns to Owen for help. However, he reacts angrily and the situation triggers a painful flashback for Owen of his life at war and his past relationship with Teddy in Iraq.

McKidd says he did a lot of research for the role, about what it would be like for a medical soldier in Iraq.

"I did a lot of reading, trying to get into the head space of what those trauma rooms are about on a day-to-day basis, just to kind of differentiate in my head the difference and experience that Owen brings with him."
