Summary

Get ready for a big dose of fun when Dr. Teddy Altman makes a house call to the pod!

Yes, it's a Cass and Teddy reunion! Actress, producer, and director Kim Raver joins Sophia to talk about Grey's Anatomy, from breaking down the dynamic of their characters' on-screen chemistry and how they approached the will-they-or-won’t-they open marriage storyline — with Kevin McKidd and the writers too! — to some fun behind-the-scenes stories you need to hear stat!

Plus, a blast from the past! Kim talks about her TV debut on Sesame Street and how public arts changed her life.
