I started this after 15x11 because I was so very moved by her speech and only finished it recently. It revolves around her traumatic relationship with motherhood and the conflict with her family/her brother - including trying to make a name for herself, indipendently from Derek.
And her fight against addiction, on the background - but informing her every choice and feeling. Hope her future is brighter, she deserves it.

I've included a lot of Owen, despite my personal feelings about him (not good!) because I find their scenes viceral in terms of emotional stakes, and the hurt that's wrapped in most of their interactions always gets me.
McKidd is a wonderful actor, I just wished his character were as well. Anyway, the raw vulnerability that Caterina is able to communicate is ... impressive.

No Meredith at all, because I've already dedicated an entire edit to the relationship between the two of them
Refrain from mentioning PP. Yes I know her story on PP. No I didn't need to include scenes from PP.
