Although Owen began making more friends, for a while he was met with hostility by Meredith and Callie after accidentally choking Crisina. He withdrew and avoided Cristina to cause her lees pain and after meeting with a psychiatrist, he learnt to speak to her in three word sentences (find my truck, good work Yang, take care now etc).

[edit] Meredith Grey
Since returning taking up a job at SGH he failed to tell anyone who he knew before thae army about being sent home, including his mother and ex-fiance). He phones his mother once a week but keeps conversations short, pretending to still be in Iraq, and unwilling to travel the six miles to see her, as he feels ashamed that he is not the person he once was, specifically, the son that his mother sent to war. In the end, Cristina convinces him to see his mother.
Owen was engaged to a woman named Beth but in the army, he broke it off in a two line email. When he visited Seattle Grace he kissed Cristina but left.
After taking up a job at Seattle Grace he decided not to date Cristina, he told her that it was different then. However, on his way out of Joe's bar one night, he spontaneously kissed Cristina and this happened a few times. When Cristina told him to stop his hot and cold act he did, and asked her out. But, he was so nervous he turned up on her doorstep drunk. He invited himself in, took a shower with his clothes on and fell asleep. Cristina was annoyed but forgave him. Their relationship was centred around stolen touches and glances from across the room and although they flirted, it stopped when Beth's secret ex-fiance appeared at Seattle Grace where her father was admitted. Cristina and Owen work through their problems but are soon confronted by a new one, Owen's PTSD from his time in Iraq. After spending the evning watching tapes of surgery, he climbs into bed with Cristina who is asleep. When Owen falls asleep, the noise of the ceiling fan reminds him of helicopter blades, he inadvertently hurts Cristina by strangling her in her sleep, and it is only Callie's intervention after over-hearing struggling that prevented Owen from killing Cristina, afterwards he breaks down crying. Cristina refuses to leave him saying he is just injured from the war like if he had returned without a leg. The two finally consummate their relationship, but soon break up as Cristina admits she is not fine and she is terrified of falling asleep next to Owen. After this, Owen tries to avoid Cristina but after working with his psychiatrist she teaches him to have three worded sentences prepared to say to her as substitutes for I love you. After she convinces him to see his mother they get back together.

[edit] Career
He attended Harvard and shortly after 9/11, Dr. Owen Hunt enrolled in the army and became an army surgeon. In Iraq, his entire platoon was killed and he was discharged from the army, he came back to Seattle Grace and took up the post of head of trauma at Seattle Grace Hospital, restoring it to a level one trauma center.
Owen teaches medicine in slightly unorthodox and unusual ways. When he first appeared at Seattle Grace, he performed a tracheotomy with a pen. Later, he thought his residents how to work with "live tissue" by stabbing six pigs and asking his residents to save them, the pigs were later put down. This managed to irk Izzie Stevens and he also annoyed Derek Shepherd and Mark Sloan by stealing their patients and once opting to use skin glue instead of having Shepherd and Sloan take his case, having some trouble with making a transition from Army field medicine to civilian traumas, Derek and Mark called him a meatballer.
He works hard, even working three days staright. He does not, despite being a trauma surgeon, spend all of his time in the E.R., spending some time up on the surgical floor and taking on some general surgery cases.
He considered leaving Seattle Grace after witnessing some residents fighting over a patient like vultures, having no respect for the patient or their life.
During Derek's depressed period, Hunt revealed as a second year resident, he lost the parents of three children, and it haunts him everyday. When Derek commented that he expected a story sbout Iraq, Owen stated that he doesn't talk about Iraq.
When talking to Meredith, George described Owen's skill as amazing.
