And as for those major cliffhangers at the end of the episode? Griffith still hasn’t figured out how to tell her boyfriend Wes Bryant (Trevor Jackson) that she cheated on him with her ex Dr. Lucas Adams (Nikho Terho) last season—and to make matters worse her pregnancy test comes back positive at the end of the episode.
For those who have been watching Griffith’s love triangle unfold from the OR gallery, it may seem likely that her baby’s father is Lucas, considering she and Wes had been so careful about using condoms while having sex. But Marinis emphasized that sometimes hoofbeats do, in fact, mean zebras and not horses.
“It does not automatically mean it is Lucas,” Marinis told Deadline. “It is a big old question, and it’s messy.”
Finally, the tease of Jo’s exit was the very last thing said in the episode. While her husband Dr. Atticus Lincoln (Chris Carmack) sneakily steals some of her old prescriptions just before she walks in the door, Jo delivers the real blow—admitting that she simply can’t recover from her birth trauma while working at Grey Sloan.
As she tells her husband just before the credits role, “I quit.”
