It already feels like Grey's Anatomy is returning to its roots, with storylines and character dynamics that remind us more of lighter, earlier seasons.

Now, Bailey is back in a position of authority as she takes on the role of chief of surgery.

Check out these photos for a sneak peek at Grey's Anatomy Season 12 Episode 2, titled "Walking Tall."

1. I'm the Chief! - Grey's Anatomy Season 12 Episode 2

Bailey is in charge now, people. She makes that clear in this scene with Meredith on Grey's Anatomy.

2. We Still Call Him the Chief, Too - Grey's Anatomy Season 12 Episode 2

Bailey is the newest chief (and she deserves it) but Richard Webber will always be the chief in our minds. What's going to be interesting to see now is how he mentors Bailey on her new position.

3. Tell Him, Bailey! - Grey's Anatomy Season 12 Episode 2

Bailey tackles her first day as chief of surgery, and she's determined to do the best job she possibly can. The Bailey we know and love is back!

4. Juggling Responsibilites - Grey's Anatomy Season 12 Episode 2

Meredith struggles as she tries to juggle all of her responsibilities, including the new anatomy class that she's teaching. (Does she call it "Grey's" Anatomy?!)

5. Do Not Give Me That Look - Grey's Anatomy Season 12 Episode 2

Bailey is asserting herself in her new position, and it's bound to remind us a bit of told times. Remember when Meredith was her intern?

6. All Smiles - Grey's Anatomy Season 12 Episode 2

Meredith and Bailey seem to be having a good day at the hospital, as both deal with new responsibilities.

7. Time to Celebrate - Grey's Anatomy Season 12 Episode 2

There's cause for celebration, but Owen looks a little bit skeptical. Jackson, on the other hand, is all smiles despite his issues with April.

8. Just Chatting - Grey's Anatomy Season 12 Episode 2

Jackson, Callie, Amelia, and Maggie are part of the celebration, and Jackson seems like he's in a particularly good mood. Still, April knows their marriage is in jeopardy, but is avoiding the issue.

9. Working from Home - Grey's Anatomy Season 12 Episode 2

Working from home does have its advantages, doesn't it? Bailey works in bed next to her supportive husband.

10. Ben is a Distraction - Grey's Anatomy Season 12 Episode 2

Ben gave Bailey the best advice for preparing her presentation to become Chief, though now he seems to be distracting her from her work!

11. We Love These Two - Grey's Anatomy Season 12 Episode 2

But that's okay. Bailey and Ben are great together, and it looks like we'll get to see home happy moments from them this season.

Grey's Anatomy Season 12 Episode 2 Quotes

I've been waiting for this day my entire career. I promised them candy disco rainbows, and now I have to deliver.

Bailey

Bailey! These are your patients. Look, I'm happy you're chief. I'm all for it. But I am taking my day to service your patients and mine. And it's getting done. I'm on it. But if you're going to do this to me, if you're going to drown me, at least take two seconds to listen to the update of your patients. I deserve more than to be dismissed. I deserve more. Respectfully, chief.

Meredith
