“#A Fan Favorite Is Leaving the Show (RECAP)<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

If you didn\u2019t get the sense that a certain Grey\u2019s Anatomy<\/em> character just set an exit strategy in May 6\u2019s episode\u2014Season 17, Episode 14, a.k.a. \u201cLook Up Child\u201d\u2014then allow us to be the bearer of bad news<\/a>. This longtime fan fave is leaving the show in two weeks. (On the bright side, though, at least the character in question seems to be headed to a romantic reunion!)<\/p>\n

[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for Grey\u2019s Anatomy<\/em> Season 17, Episode 14, \u201cLook Up Child\u201d]<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cLook Up Child\u201d is a Jackson-centric episode, and sure enough, Jesse Williams is the one leaving Grey\u2019s<\/em>. His plastic surgeon character is pulling a Callie and moving across the country for an exciting new job.<\/p>\n

\"Jesse<\/p>\n

Richard Cartwright\/ABC<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Before he leaves, though, he has to check in with two towering figures from his past: ex-wife April Kepner (Sarah Drew), with former Grey\u2019s<\/em> star Sarah Drew making her highly publicized return to the show, and estranged father Robert Avery, with Eric Roberts making a surprise reapp<\/a>earance on the ABC drama. (Jackson\u2019s conversations with April and Robert are artfully intercut in this episode, but we\u2019ll recap the episode chronologically, for clarity\u2019s sake!)<\/p>\n

So now we know where Jackson was going when he left Seattle for a long road trip<\/a>: back to Robert\u2019s restaurant in Montana. When Jackson darkens the door of the joint, he finds Robert preparing meals for people in need. Jackson tells him about his frustrations with the Fox Foundation and asks him why his mother, Catherine (Debbie Allen), said that he reminds her of Robert.<\/p>\n

\"Greys<\/a><\/p>\n

Turns out, Robert shared many of those same frustrations when the foundation was still called the Avery Foundation and named after his now-disgraced father. Basically, both father and son realized there\u2019s too much bureaucracy at the foundation to get any real, substantive work done.<\/p>\n

But Jackson and Robert aren\u2019t all chummy now. Jackson finally works up the courage to ask Robert why he left him and mom Catherine all those years ago\u2014and to say that he blames Robert for his own tendency to run from relationships when the going gets tough. And in the heat of the moment, Jackson cuts himself on the meat slicer\u2026 because what would a Grey\u2019s Anatomy<\/em> episode be without a medical emergency?<\/p>\n

Once Robert helps Jackson get patched up, father and son spend a few days together in Montana. And finally, Robert confides that he was convinced Jackson was better off without him because he \u201cabsorbed the story\u201d that he, Robert, was the screw-up of the family\u2014a narrative his own father had him believe\u2014and he didn\u2019t want to pass that on to Jackson. \u201cNot one day has passed that I haven\u2019t regretted leaving you,\u201d Robert tells his son. \u201cAnd I know that an apology will never make up for that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Sad<\/a><\/p>\n

Robert observes that, unlike him, Jackson is the cut-and-run type. In fact, Robert says, Jackson is 10 times the man Robert is, even on Jackson\u2019s worst day. \u201cYou\u2019re scared of doing the wrong thing,\u201d he adds. \u201cI was scared of doing the right<\/em> thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jackson leaves and heads back to Seattle, where his first stop is Catherine\u2019s house. He doesn\u2019t go in, though. He just stands on the stoop, in the stormy weather, telling Catherine that he can\u2019t stay at Grey Sloan and that he\u2019s taking over the foundation to put every penny to health equity: women\u2019s health, trans health, racial equity, the works. And then he leaves, saying he has to talk to April.<\/p>\n

Later, Richard (James Pickens Jr.) comforts Catherine as she cries. But she\u2019s not sad, she tells Richard. \u201cI never in my life felt pride just like this,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

\"Grey's<\/p>\n

Richard Cartwright\/ABC<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

And at long last\u2014especially for Japril fans\u2014Jackson visits April. She\u2019s harried, telling Jackson that their daughter, Harriet, has a fever. Also, her house is a total mess, and she says she and Matthew, her fianc\u00e9-turned-ex-turned-husband, both work long hours.<\/p>\n

Jackson tends to Harriet, but then the power cuts out just as April is taking a much-needed shower. (Damn storm!) By candlelight, Jackson breaks the news to April: He wants to run the Fox Foundation to create more equity in healthcare. \u201cI could look my daughter in the face and know that I\u2019ve done everything I possibly can to give her a better world,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

Running the foundation, however, means moving to Boston, which is where the organization is headquartered. He asks April to move to Boston, knowing that Matthew will follow her wherever she goes. \u201cIf you had a chance to make it all make sense, to become what you want to be, wouldn\u2019t you try really, really hard to make it work?\u201d Jackson says. April replies: \u201cI would. I did.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Grey's<\/p>\n

Richard Cartwright\/ABC<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

April doesn\u2019t want to uproot her whole life, however\u2014she likes her job, and furthermore, she\u2019s not convinced Jackson is the administrator type. \u201cYou\u2019re not that guy,\u201d she says. \u201cI don\u2019t think you ever will be.\u201d<\/p>\n

But morning breaks, she\u2019s singing a different tune, so to speak. \u201cYou are that guy, Jackson,\u201d she tells her ex-husband. \u201cI was an ass for saying otherwise. \u2026 You deserve this.\u201d<\/p>\n

They laugh about their comically bad timing, with April saying, \u201cWe just never figured out how to want to the same thing at the same time.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Sad<\/a><\/p>\n

Jackson offers to help break the news to Matthew, but April finally admits that she and Matthew had split and that he had moved to Philadelphia to help his ailing sister. Turns out, Matthew was just burying all the pain and resentment he was holding on to from when April (literally) ran from the altar and left him for Jackson. \u201cHe was still so angry and so hurt,\u201d April tells Jackson. \u201cHe tried so hard not to hate me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Then, Jackson heads out, saying he was going to put in notice at Grey Sloan. But he doesn\u2019t take his leave before giving April a big hug. Um, let us know if we\u2019re way off-base here, but doesn\u2019t it seem inevitable that Jackson and April will rekindle their relationship in Boston, just as Callie and Arizona presumably did in NYC?<\/p>\n

\"Jackson<\/p>\n

In any case, ABC\u2019s promo at the end of the episode says that next week\u2019s Grey\u2019s<\/em> installment is a \u201cthrowback\u201d special, packed with memorable moments from the show\u2019s early scenes and that we\u2019ll get a proper Jackson farewell in a new episode two weeks from now.<\/p>\n

And in the meantime, Williams is starting his goodbyes. \u201cI will forever be grateful for the boundless opportunities provided me by Shonda, the network, studio, fellow castmates, our incredible crew, Krista, Ellen, and Debbie,\u201d the departing Grey\u2019s<\/em> star said in a statement to Deadline<\/a><\/em>. \u201cAs an actor, director and person, I have been obscenely lucky to learn so much from so many and I thank our beautiful fans, who breathe so much energy and appreciation into our shared worlds. The experience and endurance born of creating nearly 300 hours of leading global television is a gift I\u2019ll carry always. I am immensely proud of our work, our impact, and to be moving forward with so many tools, opportunities, allies, and dear friends.\u201d<\/p>\n
