'Grey's Anatomy': Meredith Committed the Ultimate Betrayal

(Spoiler alert: Please do not read on if you haven’t watched Thursday’s episode of “Grey’s Anatomy”)

Ever since the start of “Grey’s Anatomy” Season 13, everyone and their mama knew that Maggie Pierce (Kelly McCreary) is basically in love with Nathan Riggs (Martin Henderson) — especially her sister, Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo).

Unfortunately, when Dr. Pierce professed her love (OK, it was more like a strong interest) to Dr. Riggs, he didn’t feel the same and kindly let her down (tore her poor heart into a million tiny pieces and stepped all over them) — another small detail Dr. Grey was aware of.

But little did Maggie know that her sister was a scheming, lying, trifling no good person who went behind her back and fell in love with Dr. Riggs herself and then hid it from Maggie.

OK, so maybe it didn’t exactly go down like that, but despite Meredith’s multiple attempts at distancing herself from Nathan, the attraction between the two was too unbearable and the two ended up trying the whole couple thing.

Meredith knew that their relationship would greatly affect Maggie and was thinking of a way to break it to her, but Maggie is smart and ended up figuring it out herself. Ouch.

Now it’s one thing for your friend to go behind your back and sleep with your crush who rejected you (the same friend you confided in when said crush rejected you), but for your own flesh and blood to do that … now that’s something else.

And on top of that, Maggie’s mother literally just died and she was finding solace in knowing she still had Meredith on her side.

That is until Meredith went and committed the ultimate betrayal. Poor Maggie.

14 'Grey's Anatomy' Main Characters Ranked by Drama Level (Photos)

"Grey's Anatomy" is quite possibly one of the most dramatic shows on TV and naturally so are its characters.

We've ranked them from least to most dramatic.
14. Andrew DeLuca

We don't know much about DeLuca other than he dumped Maggie for stupid reasons and was the reason for Alex going to jail.

He's not a very dramatic person, just kinda boring.
ABC
13. Nathan Riggs

One of the most calm, collected and chill dudes at the hospital.

Like, seriously does nothing get to him? He's so smooth, charming and SO not dramatic.

Other characters, take note.
ABC
12. Stephanie Edwards

Edwards is the neutral point when it comes to "Grey's Anatomy's" dramatics.

She's extra when she needs to be and when the situation calls for it, but for the most part she's pretty level-headed.
ABC
11. Owen Hunt

Like Edwards, Owen is also pretty level headed and most of the time, he can serve as a voice of reason -- he didn't even take sides between Webber and Minnick.

Yes, he refused to work with Nathan Riggs, but that's only because he thought he was the reason for his sister's untimely death.
10. Meredith Grey

Honestly, for everything this woman has gone through (her mother's attempted suicide, her father abandoning her and starting a new family, her sister dying, the love of her life passing away, etc. etc. etc.) she's not nearly as dramatic as she's allowed to be.

Meredith has her moments, but for the most part she's pretty chill.
ABC
9. Miranda Bailey

Bailey has her freak out moments, but given her circumstances -- running an entire hospital -- she's pretty calm.

Except for that one time she suspended her husband for accidentally killing a lady during surgery, but that's another story.

ABC
8. Richard Webber

Dr. Webber is usually the voice of reason on "Grey's Anatomy," but he definitely has his petty moments ... like when he wouldn't give up his throne as the Resident Director -- which was well warranted if we're being frank.
ABC
7. Arizona Robbins

Dealing with dying kids and being able to keep a smile on your face obviously means that Arizona can keep calm under pressure, but she definitely has her dramatic moments.

Remember when her leg had to get amputated and she was like ready to kill Callie Torres over it -- even though she pretty much saved her life? Yeah ...
ABC
6. Alex Karev

As seen in Karev's most recent run-in with the law, the kid can overreact a tad bit.

But he's just trying to live his life and do right in the world, so we can forget his little dramatic antics here and there.
ABC
5. Jackson Avery

We thought Avery was a pretty chill dude, that is until April left him to go serve in the military after they recently lost their child.

He. Would. Not. Let. That. S---. Go.

ABC
4. Maggie Pierce

She's like a teenager.

Granted, she is pretty young compared to her colleagues but she literally freaks out over the smallest things and can be really petty at times.
ABC
3. April Kepner

Kepner seems like she's always on edge and sometimes cracks under pressure, which is probably why she's always so dramatic.

Woosah, Kepner, woosah.
ABC
2. Jo Wilson

Ugh. Sorry, but Wilson is low-key annoying.

She's had a tough life, we'll give her that but she just continues to push away people who love and care about her -- Alex.

ABC
1. Amelia Shepherd

Come on ... homegirl is like beyond dramatic.

She wanted to get married to Owen, then ran away on her wedding day, then finally realized she was being ridiculous and they started living happily ever after ... that is until she ran away from her husband again for whatever reason we can't remember because she runs away a lot.
ABC
