'Grey's Anatomy' creator Shonda Rhimes has been speaking about an emotional family reunion that viewers will see in the new series.
Warning: spoiler alert!
In the new series Doctor Derek Shepherd's (Patrick Dempsey) sister Amelia (Caterina Scorsone, who stars in 'Private Practice') will visit him as he recovers from being shot at the end of the last series.
Rhimes told Entertainment Weekly: "Amelia goes to visit Derek in the third episode of 'Grey's'. Derek got shot and he hasn't been returning her phone calls. He's never returned her phone calls. And what I love about the episode is that it really illuminates Derek.
"Remember: Derek's father was shot when they were kids - something that both Amelia and Derek witnessed. And for both of them, Derek's shooting brings up all of these memories of that. And you also get to see the two Shepherd neurosurgeons operating together, which I think is kind of badass."
The new series begins on American television at the end of September.
