Jo Wilson and Lucas Adams discovered themselves at risk in the course of the Gray’s Anatomy Season 21 fall finale, after they turned hostages in an armed theft. Whereas we wait to study their (presumably already spoiled) fates when Gray’s returns to the 2025 TV schedule, enable us to journey again in time to a different harrowing plotline within the medical drama’s historical past — the aircraft crash. Whereas the Season 8 finale was merely certainly one of a number of near-death experiences for Meredith Gray, her sister Lexie truly did perish within the aftermath. Chyler Leigh recalled her demise, and I didn’t count on this response to her character being eaten by wolves.
Now I’m going to be sincere, as a longtime fan of Gray’s Anatomy, I keep in mind Lexie Gray being crushed beneath the aircraft and her heartbreaking dying after she and Mark Sloan professed their love for one another, however I didn’t do not forget that her physique was then picked aside by wolves! When Chyler Leigh visited the Name It What It Is podcast, it feels like she wouldn’t be capable to recall that element both, if not for all of the memes. So how does she really feel assembly such a grotesque finish? She mentioned:
I assume I used to be eaten by wolves? I simply wanna know as a result of, like, wolves [are] like, certainly one of my spirit animals, so I am like, I am down with that.
Effectively that was undoubtedly not what I’d have anticipated. Poor Lexie Gray had been crushed by a aircraft after which her remaining moments stay to this present day one of many saddest and most surprising Gray’s Anatomy deaths of the entire sequence. Why did they need to do the character soiled like that, actually feeding her to the wolves? Effectively, at the least Chyler Leigh is cool with it, and followers have discovered their very own technique to cope as effectively:

Humor is certainly a method grieve, and I’d say Lexie Gray followers are doing a fairly A+ job of highlighting that trauma-inducing element:

Effectively, now I’m formally down this rabbit gap. Hopefully I can’t be right here for 4 days, as Cristina Yang painfully recalled in Season 9 how lengthy the aircraft crash survivors have been left to drink their very own urine and hearken to wolves struggle over Lexie’s physique.

Fortunately that wasn’t the final time we obtained to see Lexie Gray. She and Eric Dane (who performed Mark Sloan) made a go to to Meredith’s COVID seashore in Season 17, as Gray’s Anatomy allowed Ellen Pompeo’s character to reunite along with her useless sister, husband Derek and pal George.
The wolves factor nonetheless feels a bit pointless, however I assume I ought to do not forget that the Seattle hospital was in the end renamed for the 2 aircraft crash victims, so we frequently do consider Lexie and Mark after we point out Gray Sloan Memorial. Or, we take into consideration this:

It’s a superb guess that when Gray’s Anatomy Season 21 returns to ABC at 10 p.m. ET Thursday, March 6, 2025, there can be no wolves ready within the wings for Jo or Lucas, however might we always remember what this present is able to. Be at liberty to begin a Gray’s Anatomy rewatch when you want an additional reminder. Each episode that’s aired to date could be streamed with a Hulu subscription, whereas the primary 20 seasons can be found with a Netflix subscription.
