How to watch Grey's Anatomy season 22 — free streams from anywhere in the world

You might want a box of tissues handy for the return of Grey's Anatomy, which reveals the full and tragic extent of the Grey Sloan explosion. We expect to bid farewell to one major character at the very least, and the trailer (embedded below) points towards it being either Miranda (Chandra Wilson), Link (Chris Carmack) and Ben (Jason George).

You can watch Grey's Anatomy season 22 online from anywhere with a VPN and potentially for free.

The tank of acetylene that Jenna Gatlin (Piper Perabo) used to force Amelia (Caterina Scorsone) to operate on her daughter wasn't a harmless empty shell after all. The season 21 finale saw the gas explode in one of the operating rooms, with the fireball appearing to destroy a good portion of the hospital.

Link was performing surgery at the moment of the blast, Monica (Natalie Morales) and Jules (Adelaide Kane) were making their final preparations, and Miranda had just returned to the operating floor. We all know Grey's Anatomy's track record for foreshadowing and, ominously, Link had only just heard he's having twins with Jo (Camilla Luddington), Jules had illustrated her professionalism in a moving speech to Winston (Anthony Hill), and Miranda had just shared a tender moment with Ben.

But might these all be red herrings? Ben was outside digesting his brutal rejection by Teddy (Kim Raver), but while Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) can only watch on aghast, he runs straight into the thick of the danger.

Read on as we explain how to watch Grey's Anatomy season 22 from anywhere.
