Addison Montgomery's marriage crumbles amid Grey Sloan drama

Hurricane Addison made a dramatic return to Grey Sloan Memorial, forcing Amelia Shepherd to cut her sabbatical short. Addison brought personal turmoil with her, revealing her husband, Jake, is leaving her. She confided in Amelia that Jake feels she is no longer present and no longer supports her work, specifically her involvement with the PRT.

During a complex surgery on a pregnant patient named Emma, Addison's emotional distress impacted her performance. After a heated moment, Amelia temporarily removed Addison from the operating room. Following advice from Richard Webber, Addison later reconciled with Amelia, elaborating on her marital struggles. She expressed a feeling that Jake had changed and no longer understood her dedication to medicine.

Addison ultimately declared her commitment to her career, recognizing that choosing work might jeopardize her personal life. Amelia pointed out that Jake's ultimatum indicated their relationship was already fractured. Addison reaffirmed her decision to continue working, even if it meant sacrificing her marriage, as she could not stand by while people needed her help.
