Greys Anatomy Season 13s next new episode, airing Thursday, March 9, is Civil War an apt title, considering how harshly divided Eliza Minnick has made the hospital staff.

As you might imagine, however, no one is being civil not even family members, as youll see in a new sneak peek featuring Jackson Avery and mom Catherine.

To whet your appetite for the episode, heres ABCs synopsis:

Richard, Jackson, April and Catherine tackle a grueling trauma case intensified by hospital politics. Amelia finally faces her feelings about Owen, and Meredith gets caught between Nathan and Alex over a patient.

As the sneak peek starts, Jackson finds his mother as she heads to the pit, perhaps en route to that trauma case.

I need to talk to you about this Minnick situation, he tells his mom.

What situation? Catherine says. Shes doing great.

(Shes playing coy, clearly!)

Dont pretend you dont know what you did, Mom, Jackson says. People have been fighting this since the minute you brought her here.

Bailey brought her here, Catherine contends.

Shes certainly not saying shes the one who inspired the hire, but Jackson cuts through her B.S.

At your urging, he says, correcting her.

The Jesse Williams character then contends hes the voice of the Avery Foundation at the hospital, an assertion that apparently comes at a surprise to his mother.

Wait, Im sorry, youre the what? she says.

Im the Foundations representative on the board, right? Jackson argues. So I am the Avery of this hospital. The Foundation speaks through me.

The Foundation oversees. We guide, the Debbie Allen character tells him. We do not interfere in hospital policy.

How can you say that to me? Jackson scoffs.

You started this by effectively ousting Richard Webber which, by the way, our rank and file finds completely unacceptable.

Im gonna be making the decisions from now on. Im going to go to the governing board. Im gonna get Webber back in and Minnick out. Im going over your head.

And with that mic-drop moment, he leaves her looking positively aghast at his insubordination.

Bet she regrets making him the voice of the Avery Foundation board now!

Greys Anatomy Season 13, Episode 15 Civil War airs Thursday, March 9 at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.
