Parade aptly asked, “Of all the doctors that could have had surgery in that OR, why Link?”
Meg said, “There are other doctors on that floor. We say that Bailey, Monica, and Jules are by the board. But with Link, we’re Grey’s Anatomy, and we always like to twist our happiness. We just told this beautiful wedding story in Episode 17. Link and Jo are married. They have this blissful, oblivious, beautiful storyline in the supply closet. They find out they’re having girls. Then, of course, you can’t just be this happy.”
Then they asked, “Why are you doing this to Jo?”
Meg continued, “One, we don’t know what happens. We don’t actually know where that explosive gas is. Everything is up for grabs. Why do this to Jo? We didn’t want to do anything to Jo, but I think that we’ve seen them come through such a happy season, and the iconic Grey’s way is always to throw another obstacle at them. We’ll see if she has the strength to get through it. Obviously, again, we don’t know what happens. We don’t know where that tank was. But Link wasn’t the only one. Nurse Linda was right next to him! And Teddy is missing. The only two people that weren’t in that hospital that we know are Meredith and Ben.”
She was then asked if she already had decided who is in the explosion.
Meg responded, “Oh, yes. Definitely.”
