Grey’s Anatomy Season 21 Episode 6

Exposure Level: Mild → Low-Moderate

In this episode, two children are shown to have a stomach bug. The illness itself is not the central focus of the plot, and the tone remains calm and matter-of-fact rather than dramatic or distressing.

There is one brief visual exposure where vomit is seen after the fact (no active vomiting shown). The scene is quick and non-graphic.

A notable aspect of this episode is the way the parents respond: they remain calm, regulated, and practical, modeling a relaxed, grounded reaction to childhood illness. This can be a helpful exposure for people working on reducing fear around others’ responses to vomiting or sickness.

What to expect:

• No prolonged focus on nausea or vomiting

• One short “aftermath” visual of vomit

• Neutral medical context

• Adults reacting with ease and emotional steadiness

This episode may be a good fit for viewers practicing early or mid-stage exposure, especially those working on tolerating illness themes without escalation or panic cues.
