AceShowbiz - As "Grey's Anatomy" approaches its fall finale, the medical drama said goodbye to Dr. Levi Schmitt (Jake Borelli), who has been a cast member since 2017. In the episode "If You Leave," Levi made the difficult decision to leave Seattle for a pediatrics research position in Texas, despite an offer from Bailey and Webber to become a general surgery attending physician.
Before departing, Levi shared a touching farewell with his best friend, Taryn Helm (Jaicy Elliott), and his Chaplain boyfriend, James (Michael Thomas Grant). James initially expressed hesitation about moving to Texas but eventually joined Levi on his journey, providing a satisfying conclusion to their storyline.

The episode ended with the pair's fates uncertain, leaving viewers with a cliffhanger.
The episode also featured other dramatic developments, including Jo Wilson (Camila Luddington) struggling with her twin pregnancy and Teddy (Kim Raver) and Owen's (Kevin McKidd) marriage taking a further tumble after Teddy kissed another doctor.
