Sarah Drew Has a Warning for Grey's Anatomy Fans!

Mama's home!

April Kepner (Sarah Drew) is going to be thrown for a loop when her mother (played by Connie Ray) stops by for a visit tonight on Grey's Anatomy, and it sounds like we're about to see a whole new side of this neurotic doc!

"[Mama Kepner]'s pretty great! But there's definitely some tension there," Drew told E! News with a laugh. "April's relationship with her sisters sprung out of her relationship with her mother and they're pretty similar."

Drew is excited for fans to see how April reacts to her mother while she's in town, because she thinks it shows off something that everyone can relate to.

"What's great about this episode is that it shows what we as adults often do when we're visiting with our parents or our parents come to visit, which is we kind of regress!" Drew said. "We show sometimes the worst parts of ourselves and the parts we've grown out of. They just come right back and haunt the people around us."

And yes, that's exactly what April is about to do.

"We see April turning back into teenage April," Drew teased. "We'll get a little glimpse of that and she has a temper tantrum, all just based on miscommunication! She assumes that mom is doing things and makes assumptions about her motivations when mom doesn't have those motivations that April assumes she has!"

But don't worry: this doesn't mean we'll see the annoying, insecure April Kepner we first met back in season six. "It's a totally different kind of April," Drew promised. "It's like the teenage version of April. She was completely different back then. Because of how she's progressed and how she's learned to stand up for herself, she's on edge and assuming that her family members are out to get her because she's spent a lot of her life getting shut down by them. It's a different energy than what she was like when she was first on the show, for sure."
