‘Grey’s Anatomy’ Bids Farewell To Levi As Mika Faces Uncertainty & Tragedy

deadline.com:

SPOILER ALERT: The story includes details about Episode 2107 of ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy, “If You Leave” As ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy is approaching its fall finale, so are the tenures of cast members Jake Borelli, who has played Levi Schmitt since 2017, and Midori Francis, in her third season as Mika Yasuda.

Their exits could not be more contrasting, with Levi leaving Seattle to pursue his dream career in pediatrics while Mika got into a horrible car accident with her sister.

Here is how Grey’s Anatomy wrote off Levi in “If You Leave” and geared Mika’s story for conclusion, expected in the next episode. (You can read Borelli’s exit interview with Deadline about Levi’s final episode, his eight-season journey on Grey’s and what’s next here.) And just like that, merely hours after Levi chose a peds research position in Texas over Bailey’s Webber general surgeon attending offer, he was headed to his final day at Grey Sloan.

His Chaplain boyfriend James was supportive in his initial reaction but seemed taken aback when Levi later floated the idea of James moving to Texas with him as the two had been grappling with the daunting prospects of a long-distance relationship.
