What To Expect in Grey’s Anatomy Season 21 Episode 9
Grey's Anatomy Season 21, Episode 8 was jam-packed with intriguing storylines that set up the final season's final batch of episodes.
At the center of the midseason finale was a robbery situation involving a pregnant Dr. Jo Wilson and Dr. Lucas Adams, and the brief Episode 9 trailer shows that the pair appear to be in trouble after one or both of them are shot inside the store.
Elsewhere, Mika Yasuda's exit in Episode 8 sent shockwaves to her fellow interns at Grey's Sloan Memorial, specifically her romantic interest, Dr. Jules Millin.
Although Levi Schmitt already exited Grey's Anatomy in the first half of Season 21, the fact that his best friend, Jo, is in trouble could mean that he could show up for a brief cameo to check on his longtime co-worker.
Other notable tidbits that fans should look out for when the series returns in March are storylines centered on Kwan who slept with his newly-engaged ex-fiancé Molly and Owen being threatened over the fact that Teddy kissed another woman named Cass.
The next batch of episodes is also confirmed to feature the much-awaited return of Ellen Pompeo as Meredith Grey after discovering that Catherine has liver lesions that may be cancerous.
The first eight episodes of Grey's Anatomy Season 21 are streaming on Hulu.
