With Grey's Anatomy creator Shonda Rhimes concentrating her attention on Scandal and How to Get Away with Murder, this 10th season remains watchable, but is less involving. The year opens after a mudslide injures Richard (James Pickens Jr.) and Jackson (Jesse Williams); they survive, but the relationship between Callie (Sara Ramirez) and Arizona (Jessica Capshaw) takes a hit. After his divorce from Cristina (Sandra Oh), Owen (Kevin McKidd) finds a little happiness with fellow doctor Emma (Marguerite Moreau). Meanwhile, Alex (Justin Chambers) reconnects with his estranged father (James Remar), a blues musician with a drug problem. After giving birth the previous year, Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) spends much of her time bickering with Derek (Patrick Dempsey) and Cristina about their changed priorities (the arguments may be believable, but they also grow tiresome). A non-fraternization rule only adds to the tension, complicating the relationships between Alex and Jo (Camilla Luddington) and Jackson and April (Sarah Drew). Residents Shane (Gaius Charles), Leah (Tessa Ferrer), and Stephanie (Jerrika Hinton) also figure into various scenarios, but take a backseat to the main players. The biggest surprise arrives at the end when Preston (Isaiah Washington) returns to make Cristina an offer she can't refuse. Since Grey Sloan Memorial (formerly Seattle Grace) is a teaching hospital, it isn't all soap opera; other plot points revolve around state-of-the-art tools and procedures, including a 3D printer, a brain-mapping project, and the separation of conjoined twins. Compiling all 24 episodes from 2013–14, extras include an extended episode, behind-the-scenes featurettes, deleted scenes, and bloopers. A strong optional purchase. (K. Fennessy)
