Either way, expect to see DeLuca's mental health storyline continue to unfold in Season 17, and for Meredith to be an integral part of his support system. Meredith insisted on taking him home, so they very well could be getting back together. I don't know what's going on," he admitted. That should have left DeLuca feeling on top of the world, but in his final scene of the episode, Meredith was picking him up from the hospital floor in the midst of some sort of breakdown.
