ABC's famous long runner "Grey's Anatomy" may be known for their heart-stopping season finales, but their mid-season finales are known to pack just as much of a punch. In honor of it officially being just over two weeks until the January premiere, let's look back and see where this latest season falls in line with the others.

14. Season 2, episode 12 "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer"

The first holiday-themed episode of Grey's has little excitement. Addison and Derek spend the majority of their time walking on eggshells with each other and the interns spend their time helping Alex study for when he retakes the board exam.

It ends with a heartwarming moment with Meredith and her roommates under their tree and Burke paying tribute to Christina's Jewish heritage despite her being a scrooge all episode to everyone.

13. Season 3, episode 10 "Don't Stand Too Close To Me"

A slow episode, with the characters mainly dealing with Burke's disability from his gunshot wound and Meredith's blended family coming into the hospital when her half-sister goes into labor and needs surgery.

Although, Meredith's Alzheimer diagnosed mother stating she thinks Meredith was the reason her boyfriend left her and how she wishes she never had a daughter definitely stands out.

12. Season 5, episode 10 "All By Myself"

This is the episode after the really weird, border-line unnecessary, Izzy and Denny 'ghost sex' episode so the audience is still reeling after that ordeal. Another low tempo episode where the only exciting thing to happen is Cristina choosing Alex for the solo surgery and him picking Izzy to scrub in.

11. Season 6, episode 10 "Holidaze"

What seems like its going to be a sweet and fun holiday episode soon turns interesting when we not only learn that Mark has a long-lost love child, but his daughter is pregnant! We also see Webber's alcoholism increase which becomes more relevant later in the season.

10. Season 7, episode 10 "Adrift And At Peace"

This is the Derek/Cristina fishing episode where nothing really exciting happens compared to other midseason finales. Teddy meets and then proposes to Henry, Lexi has a spat with a nurse, the only thing of note is that Arizona returns after her hiatus only to be rejected by Callie.

In terms of Grey's, this one is pretty mild.

9. Season 4, episode 10 "Crash Into Me Part 2"

The episode picks up at the awful moment Seth Green's character has his artery burst all over Lexi and immediately had to go into surgery. The whole episode is tense with almost every surgery going wrong and being contrasted with Bailey's husband quickly losing patience with her postponing their lunch date.

The episode ends with Derek kissing a scrub nurse just before Meredith tell him she doesn't want to see other people, but hey, at least she has a nice moment with Lexi at the end.

8. Season 9, episode 9 "Run, Baby Run"

If the infamous plane crash episode wasn't enough, we've got Derek going through his risky nerve surgery so he could return to work, Cristina and Owen decide to separate due to the plane crash, and Bailey ends up having cold feet before her highly anticipated wedding to Ben.

Once things settle down and you think everything's going to be ok, Webber gets a call that he and Bailey have to give Webber's dying wife an emergency surgery.

7. Season 12, episode 8 "Things We Lost In The Fire"

A lot of things happen in this episode that set up the subplots for the back end of the season. Jackson and April finally decide to give into the inevitable and break up, tensions rise between Amelia and Owen, as well as Owen and Riggs, but the thing that takes the cake is the big reveal of what truly happened between Riggs and Owen the reveal of Owen's secret sister.

6. Season 13, episode 9 "You Haven't Done Nothing"

Amelia leaves Owen, and the audience is let almost screaming when it ends before we can find out if Alex took or did not take the plea deal with his assault charges. We had to wait almost three months to find out whether one of the series' most beloved characters was getting jail time.

5. Season 11, episode 8 "Risk"

Again with the subplots Shonda! This episode focuses on Arizona's mentor Dr. Herman's decline in health, which ends up being a major arc later on with Amelia's character. The idea to try her experimental and 'risky' (had to) surgery starts here.

What is even more gut-wrenching is the even bigger event later on in the episode. It climaxes with Meredith and Derek's blowout about a job offer in D.C. Derek ends up taking the job after a massive fallout and ends up relocating for the better part of the second half of the season, little did they know that would be their last on-screen fight of the series.

4. Season 10, episode 12 "Get Up, Stand Up"

While Bailey admitting to her OCD problem and the beginning of Meredith and Derek's rift about whose career is more important, what makes this finale so near and dear to the fandom's hearts is the closing moments when Jackson proclaims his love for April IN THE MIDDLE OF HER WEDDING. Followed immediately of weeks of not knowing April's reaction to that statement.

3. Season 1, episode 9 "Who's Zoomin Who?"

Controversial for me to consider the season one finale a midseason finale, but season one was a notoriously short season. And how can anyone leave out that iconic cliffhanger, Addison Shepherd's 20-second cameo in this episode set the tone for the entire series after that?

2. Season 8, episode 9 "Darkest Was The Night"

HENRY JUST FREAKING DIED, JUST RIGHT OUT OF NOWHERE, AFTER CRISTINA DID EVERYTHING RIGHT AND HE DECIDED TO GO TO MED SCHOOL AND BE THE HUSBAND HE THOUGHT TEDDY DESERVED.

And if that wasn't bad enough, Meredith and Alex are delivering a premature baby to Seattle Grace for treatment when in the dying moments of the episode the ambulance carrying them gets hit by ANOTHER ambulance and strands them in the middle of nowhere in a thunderstorm.

1. Season 14, episode 8 "Out of Nowhere"

This latest finale had to take the cake because in the span of an hour THE ENTIRE HOSPITAL FALLS APART. A mysterious hacker invades the computer system and virtually makes it impossible to do anything unless Grey Sloan pays them $20 million.

By the end of the episode, that problem is still unresolved, Jackson and Maggie are getting bad turbulence on their helicopter trip while transporting an elderly man to another hospital when his blood burst all over the aircraft and them, Alex and Amelia are about to inject a lethal dose of medicine into a sick child unless Jo can stop them in time, but on her way her worst fear for the past two seasons comes true when she runs into her abusive husband who has tracked her down and found her new identity. WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT???

"Grey's Anatomy" returns January 18th on ABC, 8 p.m. e/s time and will hopefully help us all catch our breaths after all that.

In the meantime, re-watch older seasons on Netflix and season 14 on Hulu.
