Midori Francis On Her ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ Exit, The Scene That Made Her Break Character & If She Would Come Back

deadline.com:

SPOILER ALERT: The story includes details about Season 21 Episode 8, Drop It Like It’s Hot. After Grey’s Anatomy bid farewell to Jake Borelli’s Levi Schmitt last week, it was Midori Francis‘ turn to say goodbye to the show.

Her exit was one of several major storylines in a jam-packed fall finale that left multiple lives hanging in the balance. Set more than six months after the events in the previous episode, the finale chronicles Mika’s (Francis) first day back after the van accident which left her fighting for her life, with her younger sister Chloe ultimately dying.

Mika is not herself all day, evoking her late sister anywhere she goes, including the room Chloe died in and the morgue. Mika then becomes hysterical when a male patient starts coding, screaming at Bailey (Chandra Wilson) “He’s dying”, “you can’t just let him die like that,” before abruptly switching to “you have to save her, please save her” and “just take me, Dr.

Bailey, take me.” It soon becomes clear that this is all too much too soon for Mika. “Chloe, she was my heart. And now I’ve lost it,” she tells Simone (Alexis Floyd).
