Why ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ Season 12 Episode 6 Is NOT AIRING This Thursday Night On ABC

"Grey's Anatomy" Season 12 has been very exciting so far. Every episode contributes to a solid storyline following the death of Patrick Dempsey's Dr. Derek Shepherd last season. However, it appears that fans have yet to fully see the repercussions of Derek's passing, and it is on episode 6 that viewers will see Meredith facing the person who may be responsible for her husband's passing.

Unfortunately, fans will not get the chance to see "Grey's Anatomy" Season 12 episode 6 this Thursday. The long-running medical drama of the alphabet network has decided to ditch airing a new episode this in favor of the Halloween season. Instead of airing episode 6, ABC is airing a repeat of the "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" special.

The last time the cartoon special took over an ABC show's time slot was on Oct. 20, when it was aired instead of "The Muppets" episode 5. The Peanuts special was originally released back in 1966 on CBS, but as part of the Halloween tradition, the cartoon is being aired annually in the days leading to All Hallow's Eve.

Meanwhile, fans of "Grey's Anatomy" should not worry at all since season 12's episode 6 is bound to air the following week on Nov. 5, as per EPGuides.com. Episode 6 is entitled "The Me Nobody Knows" and it will be very exciting since Penny is going to make her Grey Memorial Sloan debut in the wake of Meredith and Amelia's fight.

According to International Business Times, Meredith will not be pleased to see the woman responsible who failed to save Derek's life. What's worse is that Bailey assigned Penny to be on Meredith's service. However, Amelia may not know this that's why she could be seen lashing out at Meredith for having Callie's girlfriend on her service. "It's not enough to have her here in the same building, you invited her on your service too?" she tells Meredith in the sneak peek.

While Meredith is obviously hurt given the situation, Amelia's wrath will prove to be a strong force against Penny. She even insists to Meredith that the latter should just force Penny to go find a different hospital.

Amid the arrival of a new transfer resident, fans will also enjoy "Grey's Anatomy" Season 12 episode 6 because of Richard and Maggie. Will the former finally move forward with his relationship with the latter? There is also the possibility of April and Jackson reuniting, as hinted by BuddyTV.

Since the all-new episode of "Grey's Anatomy" Season 12 is not airing this Thursday night, tune in next Thursday night on ABC to catch episode 6. Jobs&Hire will also be providing a free online stream link hours before the episode officially airs on ABC, so don't miss it.
