[Spoiler alert: The Greys AnatomySeason 16 fall finale.] Just when we thought the love triangle between Amelia Shepherd (Caterina Scorsone), Owen Hunt (Kevin McKidd), and Atticus Link Lincoln (Chris Carmack) was over, Greys Anatomy reels us back in. The Nov. 22 midseason finale left every fan wondering whether the father of Amelias baby is Link or Owen. And quite frankly, everything is a mess. But some Greys Anatomy fans took the liberty of speculating how the storyline will all play out, including one theory about Owens death that will either leave you heartbroken or ready for more.

In the Greys Anatomy Season 16 premiere titled Nothing Left to Cling To Amelia stops by Carina DeLucas (Stefania Spampinato) office and the OB-GYN tells the neurosurgeon she is pregnant. Then after the episode, Entertainment Tonight reported Amelia is pregnant with Links baby. And when speaking with Krista Vernoff, the showrunner hinted at a complicated journey for Link and Amelia.

I love throwing obstacles and growing opportunities in her path, Vernoff said. For her to have decided that she wants not to go all-in with someone, but to slow-roll a relationship and to take it slow and get to know a person and do something differently than shes done before And then for her to discover in that same episode that she is pregnant, felt messy and exciting.

She continued: This is a complicated, complicated thing. They were dating and having fun and now theyre taking a very different journey than the one they thought they were on.

Then in the Greys Anatomy Season 16 midseason finale titled Lets All Go to the Bar Amelia visits Carina, who once again delivers some big news. And apparently, Amelia is 24 weeks in her pregnancy, rather than 20 weeks. This means its more likely her baby is Owens and not Links.

Following the Greys Anatomy fall finale, fans flocked to social media to express their thoughts about Owen, Amelia, and Links situation. And one fan on Reddit proposed a devastating theory on how Owens death could move the storyline forward for Amelia and Link to stay together.

Just a theory. Amelias baby is Owens and Amelia tells Owen and Link about it, the fan wrote. Owen was at home with Teddy then and was rushing to Amelia at the hospital but he gets into a terrible car crash on his way. Meredith and Bailey and all relevant surgeons try to save Owen but he was too far gone and eventually they had to pull the plug.

The Redditor continued: Link steps up to father Amelias baby making Amelia and Link endgame with Owen out of the way. Heartbroken Teddy moves back to Germany with Leo and Allison.

Naturally, fans had mixed feelings about the potential of Owens death.

I definitely wouldnt be opposed to Owen dying, a Reddit user wrote. Hes involved enough that his death would be a big deal and could prompt some interesting developments for everyone else.

Yes, lets leave two (potentially 3) children without their father and put Teddy through [losing] another significant other. Im going with a big NO, another fan wrote.

For now, it seems unlikely Owen will die on Greys Anatomy. And of course, it would be difficult to imagine the Shondaland series without McKidd. But regardless of what actually happens to Owen, Amelia, and Link, viewers will just have to wait and see what happens next.

Following the midseason finale, ABC aired the promo trailer for the Greys Anatomy winter premiere in 2020. The preview revealed the show will return on Thursday, Jan. 23, and be part of a two-hour crossover event with Station 19.

Meanwhile, the network announced Greys Anatomy will change its air time, switching to the 9 p.m. ET slot. And it seems the flagship series will become sexier as opposed to devastating or at least according to Vernoff.

There are different rules for a 9 p.m. show than there are for an 8 p.m. show, and we hope to take advantage of those rules, Vernoff told Deadline. Greys was definitely allowed to be a sexier show when it was on at 9 oclock. So we are excited by the change back to our original (Thursday) time slot.
