Ever since Dr. Minnick was introduced on Grey's Anatomy, none of the characters have been the biggest fan of her—me neither. When she initally started flirting with Arizona, I immediately knew she was going to be a love interest for Arizona to move on from her former partner Callie with.
When Arizona and Callie fell in love, I couldn't see them with anyone else, especially for their daughter Sophia's sake. I definitely think that Arizona and Callie are meant for each other, especially after all they went through last season with the battle for custody of Sophia.
Since Callie left to be with Penny, it's broken my heart that Arizona can't be with her. They were one of my favorite couples—two power women in charge of their departments in the hospital. Not only were they boss ass women, but they were great parents to Sophia and always put her first.
Even though I'm still mad Callie left (so happy she didn't "die"), I can understand why it happened. I think Shonda used Sara Ramirez's departure to make it known that not all couples work out, even after you fight so hard for it to work. Some people just aren't meant to be together, and by introducing Minnick, it shows that Arizona doesn't have to dwell on what happened between her and Callie.
While I believe that Arizona and Callie are totally meant to be together, I am willing to open my mind up to the possibility of Arizona and Minnick. It's the same thing that happened with killing off Derek and Meredith moving on with Riggs. Even though everyone hated it and couldn't see her with anyone but Derek, Shonda needed to show the world that Meredith had to push through and move on from this tragedy. Isn't that the lesson of life—to move on from the hard times, go forward and focus on the positives?
Even though I'm still trying to accept the idea of Arizona and Minnick, I probably will never like it since Callie and Arizona are supossed to be together. But who knows, I hope Shonda has some tricks up her sleeve and brings Callie back later in the series' run. Anything is possible at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital.
