Dr. Owen Hunt's Reign of Terror

Friends By Chance ·

2022/03/13

Natalie and Kayla realize they can't make a March Madness bracket because it's too early. Clearly big sportsball experts over here. So, instead, they dedicate the episode to the Grey's Anatomy Tragedy Bracket (patent pending). And good thing they did, because they had a LOT to say. Also, big spoiler alert for Grey's Anatomy.
