There are some things to explain.
First,Deadlineannounced that after 12 seasons, Jesse Williams is leavingGreys Anatomy.
The reason why Jackson Avery is leaving Seattle feels earned.
It feels like closure.
Here we discover that he was driving to see his dad in Montana.
the Avery men have a confrontation thats been a long time coming.
Yes, Robert hated the bureaucracy of the foundation, too.
And theres nothing wrong with a smaller, simpler life.
When things get hard, he runs.
He constantly feels like hes trying to fight back the parts of him that are like his father.
Honestly, Jacksons character has never made more sense than he does at this moment.
Its been daddy issues all along!
At this point, Jackson is bawling.
Robert tells him that of course he isnt anything like him.
If Jackson was a runner like Robert, he would be long gone by now.
Any time Jackson runs, he always comes back.
This is exactly what Jackson needs to hear.
I know where I belong, he tells his mother, who is overcome with emotion.
Later, she tearfully tells Richard that shes never been so proud in her entire life.
At least hes sort of self-aware?
So he knocks on Aprils door.
If that sentence sounds insane to you, its because it is!
What a terrible idea!
But it certainly isnt Jacksons night to have Harriet, which leaves April confused.
Oh, and Matthew and his daughter are out on the East Coast with his sister who is sick.
It all feels very lived-in.
There is banter and teasing and knowing looks.
It feels like we never left these two!
Can you believe the show separated them for this long?!
He wants them all to move there.
Hell help April and Matthew get jobs.
With the foundation, April can have all the resources she needs to keep her rural-medicine program going.
Jackson apologizes if figuring out who he wants to be is an inconvenience to her perfect little life.
Its obviously more than that and they both know it.
He can be the man his own father couldnt.
Hes begging April to give him that chance.
Jackson backs off of his request; theyll figure something else out.
Theyll go to Boston with him.
He deserves a shot to make this happen for himself.
Yeah, they split up because of those.
Matthew went to see his sister and he isnt coming back.
Hey, look atGreys Anatomyrighting a major wrong!
Shes not, yet.
Fingers crossed for new horizons, she says, cementing her choice to leave it all behind for Boston.
This is shaping up to be the sweetest of goodbyes.
