MOMent #8 - Ellis Calls Her Daughter "Ordinary"

Kate Burton and Ellen Pompe, Grey's Anatomy

In honor of Mother's Day, BuddyTV has compiled this list of our 10 favorite motherly moments.

This one is probably a bit cruel, and is most likely on this list because of my general distaste for Meredith Grey as a character, but no greater motherly moment came on Grey's Anatomy than when Ellis Grey (Kate Burton) temporarily recovered from her Alzheimer's only to be horrified by the fact that her once-driven daughter has settled for being a content intern dating a doctor.

Much like all great mothers, Ellis wanted Meredith to be the best she could be and her tirade was simply a combination of a mother's disappointment and dementia. Perhaps it was a bit cruel, but in the long run, Ellis just wanted Meredith to be the best, which isn't very bad at all.
