The drama is fine, Grey's hasn't vern the most true to life show throughout the last 13 seasons and it's very much a soap opera drama, but this was other level, I am talking Mexican Rosa de Guadalupe unbelievable and unrealistic drama.
First, it was clear that the twist was going to be that the couple wasn't a couple and there was something shady. However, this was the tip of the iceberg of the craziness.
Just last season a big storyline was how through the security cameras, they could see every floor and exit to try to find a kid AND with those cameras they saw Ben making a mistake with that whole elevator thing. Therefore, it makes NO SENSE, not even "Grey's Anatomy" sense that they didn't use the cameras to look for the perp and Stephanie.
Then Stephanie being completely under the control of a guy who had bern intubated and unconscious just minutes before, with a fresh wound, who can barely walk and is using a scalpel (in the best scenario, a self-crafted knife in the worst) as a weapon. She literally can just push him with lots of strength and he will have zero control over her. In several occasions, she has an out. When she sees Ben, I mean even from the first moment when she fins out who the patient is, it's seconds after she is told when she is SHOVED into a wall and NO ONE SAW OR HEARD? Not the 5 people that just passed them and talked to them?
Anyway, she is completely subdued, she shares security information (which tbh seems very unlikely to have been true) and when she decides to defend herself, instead of taking the scalpel on the floor, which she knows exactly how to use to immobilize the perp without killing him or to actually get him to die, she ends up choosing to set him on fire, without even her controlling the actual flame or fire and getting lucky that a spark might fly off and get him?!
Also knowing there's the flammable room there. I mean even hitting him with the IV stick on the head would have been a better option. Ok, now he is on fire and SHE gets out of a safer room to try to avoid the evident explosion about to happen?! LIKE WHAT?
Considering the Alex and Owen's storylines to be interesting, they really messed up this episode. It could have been great with more of a focus on that or with just better and smarter writing.
Feels disrespectful to the audience to give such easy and silly plots.
