Grey’s Anatomy could have needed to finish Season 16 early already, however we’re nonetheless attending to see a few of our favourite Gray Sloan Memorial docs on the spin-off collection Station 19. Thursday’s penultimate episode for Season three really gave us an enormous replace on DeLuca (Giacomo Gianniotti), who we final noticed being carted off by Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) after breaking down in the hospital hallway in the unintended season finale of Gray‘s.
DeLuca’s mental health was questioned all through the latter half of Season 16 of Gray’s Anatomy, particularly when he grew to become extra manic about diagnosing his sufferers.

That prognosis wasn’t formally acknowledged on Gray‘s, however earlier than the manufacturing shut down, the reveals have been operating concurrently and crossing over each week. Station 19 was capable of end filming Season three earlier than the pandemic hit, but when Gray’s had been capable of proceed, it will have episodes that complimented what was taking place on Station 19.
