Levi’s Return Can Offer An Update On His Life
Levi’s return is nothing new for the medical drama, withcharacters inGrey’s Anatomyconsistently coming back, even long after they’ve departed from the series. WhileMeredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo) still makes appearances despite no longer being a series regular, other season 21 returnees have included Jackson Avery (Jesse Williams) and Tom Koracick (Greg Germann), both last seen in season 19. The series never shies away from bringing its former stars back for major roles, making this current approach to the medical professional’s return unsurprising.
The episode is also the penultimate for the season, meaning some major events are likely to happen as everyone juggles their lives with their work.Jo and Link’s wedding is a big step for the couple, meaning its focus in the upcoming episode will be a major event that transpires. It’s unclear if Levi will factor into the event, other than potentially coming back to see the pair get married. Even so, the episode’s juggling of multiple storylines means there’s plenty to look forward that also lays the groundwork forGrey’s Anatomyseason 22.
