Right before the season finale of Grey's Anatomy season 8, creator Shonda Rhimes warned us that a beloved character will die. After much speculation, it all boils down to 3 characters, namely Arizona,Lexie and April. While I was watching the finale earlier today, I was shocked to find out that the death was already revealed within 15 minutes of the show! Other shows would typically show it near the end to prolong the wait but revealing it earlier still gave us a chance to mourn along the characters. It turned out to be Meredith's sister, Lexie, who was crushed under a wing of the crashed plane. I'm sad about the death and I have seen hateful comments triggered by strong emotions. She was really a well-loved character that I would hate to see her leave. Another big surprise was the exit of Dr. Teddy Altman. She didn't die but she was forced, or rather, fired, to take another offer from another hospital. I guess Christina will be the head of cardio when we get back. The others who were in the plane survived but sustained some injuries. The doctors who were left at the hospital still haven't heard about the tragedy and we'll have to wait for it when the new season starts by September or October.
