Fans of Greys Anatomy thought Teddy Altman and Owen Hunt were finally done for good. The March 5 episode titled Get Lucky first gave viewers hope that their long and messy relationship had ended.
But by the end of the episode everything changed again. And now fans are once again questioning what the future holds for the two doctors.
Grey’s Anatomy Teddy Altman and Owen Hunt divorce reveal
During the episode Owen shared some big news with Richard. He revealed that he and Teddy had officially signed their divorce papers.
For many viewers this felt like a major turning point. Their relationship has been full of drama for years. Breakups, betrayals and emotional fights have followed them for almost a decade on the show.
So hearing that the divorce was final sounded like closure.
But the calm did not last long.
Later in the episode Teddy was under huge pressure at the hospital. She was preparing to perform a risky heart surgery called the ventral aorta procedure. It was the same complex operation she had once performed on Nora Young.
Owen tried to encourage her before the surgery. He told her that she performs best when she is under pressure.
Teddy was clearly not in the mood for a motivational speech. She quickly shut him down and told him not to add more pressure.
When Owen continued talking she snapped. She reminded him that telling her what she needs is no longer his role. She also admitted that his advice used to frustrate her even when they were married.

Despite the tension Teddy moved forward with the surgery. She teamed up with Winston Ndugu for the complicated procedure.
Things did not go smoothly at first. There was a dangerous complication during the operation and the situation became very tense.
But in the end the doctors managed to control the bleeding and save the patient’s life. It was a huge moment for Teddy after all the stress she had been dealing with.
After the surgery Teddy thanked Owen for taking care of their children while she was in the operating room. She also apologized for snapping at him earlier.
That conversation slowly softened the mood between them.

The moment that shocked fans came shortly after. Owen repeated something he had said earlier. He told Teddy that she always rises when things get difficult.
Teddy then asked him if he would ever stop believing in her.
Owen answered with a simple question of his own. Why would he stop believing in her?
The emotional moment quickly turned into something more. The two suddenly kissed.
For viewers who hoped the divorce meant a clean break this moment was frustrating. Teddy and Owen have been through countless ups and downs over the years. Just when it seems like their story is over it finds a way to begin again.
Actress Kim Raver had already hinted that their relationship might not stay finished. She previously said that Teddy and Owen’s story never moves in a straight line. Their connection is always complicated and unpredictable.
That description now seems more accurate than ever.
With the kiss happening right after their divorce papers were signed fans are left wondering what happens next. One thing seems certain though. When it comes to Teddy Altman and Owen Hunt on Greys Anatomy the drama is never truly over.
