SPOILER ALERT: The story includes details about Episode of 2208 of ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy “Heavy on Me.”
In tonight’s episode of Grey’s Anatomy, Dr. Richard Webber (James Pickens Jr.) and his wife Catherine Cox (Debbie Allen) clash over the course of action following Richard’s prostate cancer diagnosis. Unhappy with his wait-and-see approach, Catherine flies in Dr. Laura Kaplan, played by guest star Jamie-Lynn Sigler, a top urologist who proposes a surgical intervention that comes with risks but could also cure him, at least for the foreseeable future.
Richard initially bristles at the idea because the potential complications could impact his work as a surgeon and his personal life. But after he learns that Laura has multiple sclerosis and after hearing her speak about adapting to the condition and remaining at the top of her profession, he has a change of heart and by the end of the episode, he agrees to the surgery.
