Grey's Anatomy Just Introduced Arizona's New Love Interest and We're Not Sure We Like Her at All

Love for Arizona just might mean doom for all of her colleagues after meeting the woman who's probably going to steal the fan-fave character's heart on the ABC soap

Well, it looks like the time is finally right for Arizona Robbins to find love again on Grey's Anatomy. Unfortunately, it also looks like she'll be falling for Public Enemy No. 1 at Grey Sloan Memorial—the just-introduced Dr. Eliza Minnick.

After Catherine (Debbie Allen) came to the realization that the residency program was in disarray at the end of last week's episode, she and Bailey (Chandra Wilson) invited Eliza (Marika Dominczyk) to the hospital for a consultation on their teaching methods—without alerting Webber (James Pickens Jr.), the residency director and, you know, Catherine's own husband. And this self-described agent of change wasted no time rubbing every single attending the absolute wrong way. Except for Arizona (Jessica Capshaw), that is. (It should also be noted that the residents love her already.)

After Arizona spent much of the episode fretting over a list written by Eliza with names of every attending except, suspiciously, Arizona's that was found by Maggie (Kelly McCreary), she confronted the interloper and wanted to know what the deal was. "I was just trying to learn everyone's name. Writing it down helps me remember," she told Arizona, before getting her flirt on. "Arizona Robbins? That name attached to that face? No, that's not one you forget. Night."

And, OK, yes, it was smooth as hell and got us all tingly inside thinking about our beloved Arizona happy and in love again, but why does it have to be with the same person who says things like "I don't share authority, I am the authority" and is totally going to take Bailey up on her offer to come and run the residency program, forcing Webber out of his position? Not cool, Shonda. Not cool.

Elsewhere in the episode, April (Sarah Drew) started using Tinder, much to Jackson's (Jesse Williams) dismay, while Amelia (Caterina Scorsone) and Owen (Kevin McKidd) wouldn't stop arguing over anything. It turns out that his wife not coming home after work for two full weeks isn't Owen's favorite thing in the world. Amelia finally, at Alex's (Justin Chambers) insistence, dropped the bomb on Owen and told him she doesn't want to have a baby. It didn't go well, and she back crashing at Meredith's (Ellen Pompeo). It's safe to say the honeymoon is officially over for these two.

What did you think about Eliza? Is she the worst or are we overreacting? Let us know in the comments below.
