Grey's Anatomy: When will Amelia and Owen take the next step?

While Meredith deals with Dereks sudden and suspiciously timed return to Seattle, another familiar face will pop back up on Greys Anatomy during Thursdays episode as Owens (Kevin McKidd) mother (Debra Mooney) checks into Grey Sloan Memorial.

Its a really fun episode, McKidd tells EW. Its great having Debra Mooney back. We give her a lot more to do. She turns up with a medical condition, but the real surprise is that she has got a man in tow with her that Owen did not know about. Owens reaction is funny and interesting.

Her arrival may put Owen in an uncomfortable position as hes forced to introduce Amelia to his mother much earlier than he wouldve liked. Owen and Amelia are not a couple yet, so its interesting to see how that plays out between them, McKidd says. Amelia and Owens mom actually hit it off very quickly. They like each other and become fast friends. Owen is the odd man out in the whole situation.

Its cool for Amelia, Scorsone adds. She meets his mom and she likes her immediately. Shes just a great broad and Amelia really appreciates her sense of humor. Theyve got a lot of similarities actually. It tells her a lot about who Owen is.

But meeting Owens mom isnt the only step the two will soon be taking. Though it may have been unclear from their hot and heavy on-call room sessions, the duo actually havent slept together yet. Its pager-interuptous, McKidd jokes. Every time we try and seal the deal, they get called away to work. Theres a lot of that pent up frustration going on, but we do see them eventually manage to, you know, cross that barrier. It takes a while. Theyre so busy. It creates more heat between them too because theyre being kept apart.

When the moment does finally happen, Scorsone says it wont be rushed. It wont just be an on-call room hookup, she says. They definitely are starting to understand the impact and profundity of their connection. Theyre not really taking it as lightly as Amelia has tended to take that step in the past. They know that this is a real connection and it should be treated as such.

Greys Anatomy airs Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.
