🚨Warning: Obviously, MASSIVE spoilers ahead for Season 17, Episode 8!🚨
OK, so, last night, Grey's Anatomy returned to our screens for the Season 17 spring premiere with a crossover event with Station 19, and it was complete chaos from the minute it started.
It started with Station 19 right where we ended in the winter finale, with Andrew DeLuca and Carina following Opal, the human trafficker from Season 16.
At the end of the Station 19 premiere, DeLuca gets stabbed by a man that bumped into him (probably the man working with Opal) and is rushed to the hospital. The ball dropped there and rolled right into the Grey's Anatomy premiere.
And just as we think everything is fine after Owen and Teddy perform surgery on DeLuca and announce that he's stable, Grey's Anatomy did what it does best and delivered a shocking plot twist.
In the last few minutes of the episode, we see DeLuca on the beach that Meredith has been on since the beginning of this season, and right then and there is when I knew something was wrong.
Long story short, DeLuca doesn't make it out alive after his second surgery, and we see him run into his late mother's embrace and walk off the beach as an intern called time of death.
I think it's safe to say that's when everyone's hearts dropped, as we realized yet another fan favorite was dying. Here are some tweets to show just how distraught everyone was about it:
