Grey's Anatomy centers around a group of physicians struggling to balance their professional lives with their personal lives.
The episode focuses on the show's protagonist Dr. Meredith Grey's new living arrangement with her half-sister Dr. Maggie Pierce and her sister in law Dr. Amelia Shepherd in her old house after having lost her husband. Dr. Miranda Bailey fights to be the new Chief of Grey-Sloan Memorial with support from Dr. Richard Webber. Dr. Arizona Robbins and Dr. Callie Torres move on with their lives while the former looks for a new roommate. Dr. Alex Karev and Dr. Jo Wilson and Dr. Jackson Avery and Dr. April Kepner deal with their relationship problems with all the doctors trying to help two young girls who tried to commit suicide by jumping in front of a train after being bullied for being in love.
"Sledgehammer" picks up the events occurring three months after Dr. Richard Webber (James Pickens Jr.) and Dr. Catherine Avery's (Debbie Allen) wedding. Dr. Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo) finds herself moving back into her old house and adjusting to life with her sister-in-law Dr. Amelia Shepherd (Caterina Scorsone) and half-sister Dr. Maggie Pierce (Kelly McCreary). Meredith awakes to a banging sound, to find Amelia putting a large hole in a non weight bearing wall with a sledgehammer. The two have an argument on agreeing upon bringing down the wall. Maggie straddles the line between supporting either of the two.
