Grey's Anatomy - Jessica Capshaw previews tonight's episode

Share on Reddit

It's taken a while, but Grey's Anatomy's once bubbly pediatric surgeon Arizona Robbins (Jessica Capshaw) has risen from the ashes of the plane crash. With a new sense of confidence after losing her leg, Arizona has begun to accept that she is whole, even if she's missing a part of herself. Some of Arizona's growth nearly ended her marriage to Callie (Sara Ramirez), but she has come out the other side ready to move on with her life and even convinced her wife to move into a new house so the couple could really start fresh after her infidelity with Dr. Boswell (Hilarie Burton).

But Arizona's resolve will be tested during Thursday's episode (9/8c on ABC) when she's hit by a gurney that results in the destruction of her prosthetic leg. "She has a terrible, awful, no good, very bad day," Capshaw tells TVGuide.com from the set of the ABC medical drama. "The idea behind this episode was to put a button on explaining the leg. It's part of her, but it will be an unspoken part of it now. Now we just accept her for who she is. But it's very much about: What is it like to go through a really bad day when you have a prosthetic and what happens if something happens to the prosthetic? What do you do? How do you remain a surgeon? How do you remain in relationships?"

However, Arizona will have a very different reaction to this day from what you might expect. "Had she had this day a year ago, she would've been sitting in the bathroom floor in her own pee again," Capshaw says. "It would've been enough to just flatten her. I think the point is that she has a very, very bad day and she's actually OK. It's just a bad day as opposed to being something that brings her to her knees."
