Grey’s Anatomy Season 22 has been keeping the audience hooked ever since its premiere. After an explosion and a heartbreaking death, the staff of Grey Sloan are back to what they do best: saving lives.

The show features an intriguing medical case every episode. Amid the renovations at the hospital, the doctors come across patients having some life-threatening conditions and race against time to treat them.

After two action-packed episodes, Grey’s Anatomy Season 22 Episode 3, Between Two Lungs, is going to premiere on October 23, 2025. ABC has released a promo for the episode, which teases the doctors debating over whether they should go ahead with a high-stakes lung transplant case.

Grey’s Anatomy Season 22 Episode 3 promo begins with Dr. Ben Warren dancing with excitement as it’s his first day as the Chief Resident. Dr. Miranda Bailey asks him what there is to be excited about, to which he replies that he has assigned himself a transplant surgery.

The focus then shifts to a child who needs an urgent lung transplant. His parents, two fathers, are ready to donate one lobe each. But considering the risks associated with the surgery, the doctors have a hard time deciding whether they should go ahead.

While Meredith is concerned about whether the parents know about the risks, Winston is of the opinion that the parents’ love for their child has affected their judgment, as a living donor lung transplant is not the norm anymore.

On the other hand, Nick argues that they are running out of time and must save the child. Elsewhere in the episode, Dr. Bailey is dealing with a trauma patient, as the official logline of Grey’s Anatomy Season 22 Episode 3 reads:

“A high-risk lung transplant pushes the surgical team to their limits; Bailey juggles a trauma patient whose treatment hangs in the balance.”

The episode will be aired on October 23, 2025, at 10 PM ET / PT and will be available to stream on Hulu on October 24. It stars Ellen Pompeo as Dr. Meredith Grey, Jason George as Dr. Ben Warren, Chandra Wilson as Dr. Miranda Bailey, Scott Speedman as Dr. Nick Marsh, and Anthony Hill as Dr. Winston Ndugu.

Meanwhile, the previous episode, titled We Built This City, chronicled the aftermath of the explosion. As people struggled to move forward, Meredith encouraged everyone to support each other in healing. Jules tried to hide her grief about Dr. Beltran’s death, but a patient’s story about hidden trauma helped her realize that she needed to open up.

She later held a small candlelight vigil with her friends to honor Beltran. Meanwhile, Link pushed his recovery too hard until Owen helped him face his anger. Jo reminded him that he needed to take small steps for his recovery instead of exhausting himself.

On the other hand, Owen and Teddy started to rebuild their lives separately, while Webber stepped back in as Chief of Surgery. Meredith, Maggie, and Amelia then reunited to support each other.
