While she never had a luck to verbalize them , Simone ’s longing stares at Lucas throughoutGrey ’s Anatomyseason 19 understandably implied she felt something for him . Lucas ’ manner of speaking put everything out in the outdoors , make it more difficult for Simone to ignore it and more significant for the drama it could cause inGrey ’s Anatomyseason 19 two - part coda .
Aside from the apparent similarity – Simone ’s story of dealing with a mother figure having Alzheimer ’s , Lucas literally being a Shepherd – Simone and Lucas ’ story resembles Meredith and Derek ’s because choosing to be together would cause cataclysmic consequences . The amount of things left unverbalized for too long makes Simone and Lucas more similar to MerDer in a style that Jules and Kwan , or Mika and Taryn could never be because of the logical implication Simone and Lucas choosing each other would have , and the making love triangle it unknowingly puts them in with Trey , just like Meredith , Derek , and Addison initially were . Hopefully , Simone ’s alternative will oppose Derek ’s fromGrey ’s Anatomyseason 2 .
