Even The Biggest Fans Won't Pass This Grey's Anatomy Couples Quiz

Grey’s Anatomy is a medical drama that fourteen seasons in total. It begins with protagonist Meredith Grey on her first day at Seattle Grace Hospital, working as an intern with four others: George, Izzie, Cristina and Alex. On her first day she realizes the one night stand she had the previous night was actually with her boss – and fears this is going to ruin her career that has barely started. The show is centered around the growth of these interns as they learn what it takes to be a great surgeon, and follows the many relationships each of them make along the way. Being that the hospital is very much the surgeon’s first home (because of the fact that they spent practically all day and night there), many of them have intertwining relationships. Some of the characters find themselves in on-again, off-again relationships with some of their co-workers; others have a tendency of developing feelings for their superiors; and some just have one night stands with each other in a hospital closet. With the fact that there is fourteen seasons and how many characters have been on the show, it can be tough to keep track of all of the relationships that have made it on screen. Do you think you can recall all of the couples on the show?

Question 1

Where did Callie Torres and George O’Malley get married?

George and Callie first really started to get to know each other after Callie repaired his dislocated shoulder, and she admired his skills as a surgeon despite being an intern. Although George was initially intimidated by Callie at first, the two quickly started a hot and heavy romance, which some of his female roommates felt uncomfortable with. During a brief “break up” over George not letting Callie stay at the house, Callie slept with Sloan. Eventually the two mended their problems after she helped him grief his father’s death, to which he sporadically proposed.

Question 2

Which doctor gave Alex the “love contract” so that he and Jo could continue dating without getting into trouble?

Alex Karev was a ladies man, where he was constantly making snarky remarks and sexual innuendos. He and Jo had eyes for each other, but she began seeing Jason, which clearly upset Alex. He avoided her as best as he could, until the super storm where they both finally admit their feelings for each other. Their relationship sees definite rough patches, and although Jo was constantly rejecting Alex, even with his proposal they eventually made it through to the other side.

Question 3

What injury is Cristina admitted to the hospital with that Owen offers his assistance?

Cristina Yang is as tough as they come. During the first year of residency, she was believed to be the intern with the most potential because she works hard and pushes herself. Sometimes too far, seen in how she handled her miscarriage with Preston. Nonetheless, she’s a tough lady who can handle a lot. During a regular night at the hospital, she storms outside to get some air after a fight with one of the surgeons, to which she ends up getting seriously injured and has to be admitted as a patient – which is clearly her worst nightmare.

Question 4

Erica kisses Callie in front of which doctor in the elevator?

Erica Hahn and Callie Torres initially bonded over their lack of social skills and how they didn’t really click with anyone – including their colleagues. Together they got really drunk and talked about some of the egotistical men that they work with. Being that they were really starting to click, the two girls spent most of their time off together, although it did consist of alcohol for the most part and strolling into work hungover. Their friendship was pretty normal until a shared kiss in the elevator, which made them both question their feelings.

Question 5

What did Sloan do that ended his and Teddy’s brief relationship?

Mark Sloan had a horrible reputation when he first started at the Seattle hospital – mostly because he had the title “adultery” looming over his head. Not that he didn’t own up to his promiscuous behaviors. Teddy began working at the hospital, and was an old friend to Owen Hunt. It was obvious that there was some old feelings there, however Owen didn’t seem interested in reviving anything. So, like most of the woman at the hospital, Sloan managed to weasel his way into Teddy’s heart for a brief romance.

Question 6

Why did Arizona and Eliza breakup?

Eliza Minnick made a short appearance on the show during one of the later seasons. When she first came to work at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital, she had a real chip on her shoulder, seeking out the attention of Arizona. Arizona however, expressed distaste towards Eliza’s behavior and wasn’t afraid to let her know it either. Nonetheless, she agreed to go out for a drink despite what she had said. Their romance flourished, although the two agreed to pretend to be nasty towards each other so their coworkers wouldn’t find out about them.

Question 7

Why was Andrew uncomfortable with how Maggie told their coworkers about their relationship?

After a rough day at work, Andrew drunkenly sought out the comfort of Maggie and the two ended up spending the night together. It was obvious by morning that they felt instant regret, to which she made it very clear that nothing of the sort would ever happen between them again. And yet, in the heat of the moment they were intimate once more. Upon returning to work, they decided it would be in their best interest to keep things on the down low, deciding it would be best to act as if nothing had ever happened.

Question 8

Whose name did Alex call out for after he was shot in the hospital?

It’s no secret that Alex has been with many women. He’s practically like Sloan in that sense. An unfortunate accident happens at the hospital where an unstable husband open fires on the staff, including Alex who gets seriously injured. Luckily, Lexie Grey and Mark Sloan stumbled upon him and were able to save his life before he lost too much blood. In the midst of the hysteria, Alex calls out a woman’s name. One he loved dearly, and thought he was over.

Question 9

Who left Cristina at the altar on their wedding day?

Cristina Yang was an intern who started with her best friend Meredith Grey, George O’Malley, Izzie Stevens, and Alex Karev. She was the strong, independent woman of the group who took charge of her work and for the most part stayed out of drama. But, much like her best friend and “person” Meredith, Cristina got involved with a man who was her superior. While she fell quickly in love with him, he was ultimately trying to shape her into a woman he wanted, and not loved her for the woman she was.

Question 10

Why did Callie have an emergency C-section with her, Arizona and Mark’s baby?

Callie Torres has been in a number of different “serious” relationships. First, she and George get married but after he has an affair with Izzie that relationship is terminated for good. Then Callie starts to question her sexuality in which she starts seeing other women – one of those women being Erica, who kissed her in the elevator in front of Sloan to prove a point. Next came Arizona, and their relationship saw many ups and downs, mostly because her family didn’t approve of her sexuality. And when pregnancies came into the picture, it made their relationship even more complicated.

Question 11

Why did Derek Shepherd and his first wife Addison split?

When Derek Shepherd is introduced to the show, he and Meredith had a steamy one-night-stand not realizing that they work together, or that Derek is Meredith’s boss. He’s just the mysterious surgeon who doesn’t open up to people – especially her. He claims to have moved from New York just recently, and a few episodes in his little secrets start pouring out. Meredith learns that she’s not only slept with her boss, but that he’s married. And his wife has moved to town determined to repair their broken marriage.

Question 12

What ended Alex and Lucy’s brief romance?

Lucy Fields is an OB/GYN who used to work at Seattle Grace hospital. She and Alex got off on the wrong foot when he arrogantly made comments about a brain-dead infant in front of her, which she took a major offense to. She reamed him out, demanding he leave her wing of the hospital for his insensitivity. He apologized afterwards, and Arizona spoke to Lucy about Alex’s behavior and how he doesn’t mean any harm. It took them a while to get to a romantic relationship, and it didn’t take long for them to end it either.

Question 13

How long was Amelia and Owen’s engagement?

Owen Hunt was first introduced on the show as an army trauma surgeon. He suffered greatly after his entire platoon was killed, to which he returned back home and began working at Seattle Grace hospital. Before Amelia, he was in a serious relationship with Cristina, the two were married for some time but eventually grew a part because they didn’t want the same things. Cristina aborted their child and Owen could never forgive her for it. It took him a while to put himself back out there, and it wasn’t always easy with Amelia for she had suffered just as much as he did.

Question 14

What did Jackson and April name their son who passed shortly after birth?

Jackson and April had been through so much. For starters, Jackson nearly witnessed April get married to another man, until the very last moment he objects. But it wasn’t happily ever after for them even when they managed to find their way back to each other. They were constantly challenging each other, especially with things that weren’t even necessary. One argument in particular was about how they would raise children, and while he thought it was merely hypothetical, April revealed she was indeed pregnant.

Question 15

Which surgeon was constantly getting in between Jo and Jason?

Jason Myers worked as a gynecologist at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital, and Jo started as in intern at the hospital shortly after the devastating plane crash. It’s unclear how their romance began, for it was only made public after one of her fellow surgeons asked her out for drinks and she said she had other plans. Their relationship appeared to have been moving rather quickly though, for she brought up moving in with Jason to this fellow colleague, who was less than impressed.

Question 16

Where did Arizona and Carina first meet?

Arizona has had a number of different relationships on the show, her most notable being with Callie with whom she married and is raising a child with. Unlike Callie, Arizona was very much open with her sexuality, and helped Callie deal with the fact that her father thought of her as a disgrace. They have been through so much together, it’s hard to keep track of how many times she and Callie had broken and gotten back together. Eventually, the two got a divorce. Time passed, and in season 14 Arizona met Carina.

Question 17

What nickname did Mark Sloan give Lexie Grey?

Mark Sloan and Lexie Grey were definitely end goals for sure. Despite the horrible reputation he had in the beginning of the series, he never tried to make himself appear differently than what he was. He slept around, all of the women in the hospital knew it and for the most part he wasn’t ashamed. But, when Lexie Grey started worked at the hospital she was considered off limits because she was Meredith’s sister and was “forbidden.” Nonetheless, the two of them couldn’t deny their feelings for each other and fell in love.

Question 18

How many children does Meredith have with Derek?

While Meredith and Derek had a true attraction towards each other from the first night they slept together, their relationship wasn’t always perfect. They had to work at it – Meredith had to watch as his wife came back into his life and he also had to watch her date and be with other people. But, their love was so strong it was unable to keep them apart. They stuck by each other through all of the allegations of her receiving special treatment and other drama they endured.

Question 19

Where did Penny and Callie move after Penny won the Preminger Grant?

Penny Blake made her first appearance on the show after Derek Shepherd was in a car accident; she was one of the doctors who aided him. She was very emotional over his death, feeling partly responsible because she could’ve done more. Sometime after his death, she began a relationship with Callie, and unexpectedly was invited to Meredith’s house, not realizing who she was. She displayed obvious signs of remorse, and when she tried to tell Meredith she was going to quit from Grey Sloan Meredith just said “I’ll see you Monday.”

Question 20

Which surgeon from Bauer Army Medical Center did Meredith have a brief romance with after Derek’s death?

In Season 12, Meredith and a couple of doctors from Grey Sloan assisted a surgeon from Bauer Army Medical Center, where they worked together on a patient named Brian Carson. The surgery was a success, and following the procedure this particular doctor expressed some obvious interest in Meredith, although she hadn’t picked up on the cues initially. After the exchange of phone numbers, Meredith was constantly dodging him until he came to the hospital to see her. She agreed to go on a date with him, and after they slept together she felt guilty and freaked out.

Question 21

Why did George end things with Olivia?

George O’Malley was one of the interns that started with Meredith, Cristina and Izzie. In fact, he was one of Meredith’s roommates when they all started at the hospital. He came a long was as a resident who didn’t know much, and suffered many heartaches much like the rest of the characters. His marriage with Callie ended thanks to him, after he had an affair with another woman. He also had an on-again off-again relationship with Izzie, but it never seemed to last. Additionally, he had a short fling with Olivia, but like usual, that came to an end as well.

Question 22

Which season do Richard Webber and Catherine Avery get married?

Richard Webber was the Chief of Surgery when the show began, and had a long history with Seattle Grace hospital – including having an affair with Meredith’s mother many years prior.

However, further into the show as their marriage became strained, Adele gave Richard an ultimatum between her and his career. Eventually she makes the decision for him. Time passes and eventually he and Catherine get married.

Question 23

Who's related to Megan?

Nathan Riggs was introduced to the show later in the series – for he temporarily worked at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital. He seemed to have a growing affection for Meredith, and offered her comfort when she was having a bad day about Amelia. In the heat of the moment, Meredith slept with him in an attempt to make herself feel better about Derek’s death. She and Nathan seemed to have bonded over the fact that they both lost their significant others.

Question 24

What secret occupation did Alex find out from Izzie’s past and put it on full display around the hospital?

Alex Karev and Izzie Stevens started out as interns together, both working for Miranda Bailey once Alex was transferred to her supervision. Alex was very much on the outs out of the five interns, for Cristina and Meredith quickly established an unbreakable friendship, and George and Izzie not only spent all their time together at work, but were also roommates with each other and Meredith. This undoubtedly put Alex on the outside of them, and decided to put Izzie in the hots eat by exposing some of her past to the whole hospital.

Question 25

Why did Jackson end his relationship with Lexie?

Jackson Avery and Lexie Grey developed a friendship for each other after Mark Sloan tried to get information on Lexie through Jackson. He made a deal with him, saying he’ll give him surgery experience if Jackson will report back to him about how Lexie was handling their failed relationship. While Jackson accepts the deal to him face, he decides that after Lexie had confined in him her personal thoughts and feelings he keeps them to himself instead of running back to Sloan, even if it means losing out on the surgeries.

Question 26

What “contract” did Addison give Mark that would decide whether or not they could be in a real relationship?

At the beginning of the series, Mark Sloan was depicted as the villain of the show, mainly because he ruined his best friend’s marriage. Derek and Addison were married and living in New York when she started an affair with Sloan, despite her husband and him practically growing up as brothers. She blamed Derek for her actions, saying he was never around and never gave her the attention she deserved. Sloan followed Addison and Derek to Seattle and begged for Addison to be with him instead of Derek.

Question 27

Which of Miranda’s obsessions ultimately ended her long-term marriage with Tucker?

When the protagonists of the show started as interns at the hospital, they were assigned to Miranda Bailey. Right off the bat she was hard on them, but only because she wanted them to be the best of the best, and helping them grow a back bone and learning how mentally exhausting being a surgeon is. They even gave her a horrible nickname, which she was very much aware of but didn’t really care because she knew she was good at her job, and part of that job was being a leader and mentor to the interns.

Question 28

Where do Izzie and George “see each other” when they were both flat lining?

Izzie Stevens and George O’Malley had been through so much since season one. Being roommates was no piece of cake, mostly because of how open Izzie was in the house and how it sometimes made George uncomfortable with her always walking in on him taking a shower. Nonetheless, they went from being roommates, to close friends, to even lovers at one point. Eventually he leaves the hospital to join the U.S Army, but after a horrible accident with a bus he is left completely disfigured; while at the same time Izzie nearly dies from her cancer.

Question 29

What was Meredith’s ex-boyfriend Finn’s occupation?

At the beginning of the series, Meredith’s love life doesn’t start off all that well when she discovers the man from the bar she slept with is really her boss’s boss. He is relishing in the fact of it, and is often trying to talk to her at work but she says it’s inappropriate for them to be in a relationship. To make matters worse, Addison shows up and Derek feels he is obligated to try and make things work with his wife. To retaliate, Meredith decides it’s only fair if she also starts seeing someone else, and Derek gets insanely jealous.

Question 30

What happened the night of Ben and Miranda’s wedding that stopped Miranda from attending?

Miranda Bailey was constantly being portrayed as a woman who lacked feelings because of how tough she was with the interns at work. But, it was all for their own good because only good surgeons can separate their personal emotions when it comes to saving a patient’s life. Miranda however, had grown accustomed to this feeling at work to the point that it ruined any and all relationships she ever had – including her marriages. To be fair though, Miranda is excellent at what she does.
