Grey's Anatomy season 18 episode 2 airs today (October 7) at 9 p.m. ET on ABC.

Grey's Anatomy season 18 episode 2 is titled "Some Kind of Tomorrow." Meredith is seriously considering the offer made by her mother's old friend, Dr. David Hamilton (Peter Gallagher). He's built a state-of-the-art research lab in Minnesota and wants Mer to run it and find a cure for Parkinson's disease — which he has. 

Plus, Minnesota has other draws, namely the very charming Dr. Nick Marsh (Scott Speedman). Mer seeks advice from Amelia (Caterina Scorsone) about what she should do.

Meanwhile, Richard (James Pickens Jr.) is reenergized about taking the hospital's teaching program to a new level, following the withering review it received from new plastics head Dr. Michelle Lin (Lynn Chen). Elsewhere, Winston (Anthony Hill) treats a  patient suffering from kidney failure.

Here's everything you need to know to watch Grey's Anatomy season 18 episode 2 online right now. Plus, watch a promo below:
