As Grey’s Anatomy reunites Jackson Avery (Jesse Williams) and April Kepner (Sarah Drew), Jackson will be leaving the hit medical series for a happy ending before the Season 17 finale.
Fans of the show have been awaiting Jackson and April’s reunion ever since Sarah Drew left the show in the Season 14 finale to join her paramedic husband Matthew. The promos for Gray’s Anatomy, Season 17, Episode 14 “Look Up Child” have given “Japril” fans a lot of clues about Jackson’s future on the show, and a theory from Japril might explain why.
While Jackson initially made a bad impression with his arrogance after the Seattle Grace and Mercy West merged, he quickly became a beloved character in Grey’s Anatomy. Extremely intelligent and a world-class plastic surgeon, the handsome Jackson Avery has had significant arcs in the hit series, especially during his relationship with April. He put aside his grief to support April after the death of their baby Samuel Avery, hours after his birth. He also hit his love for April when she stood on the altar, ready to get married to Matthew. , and recent unrestrained sex with Jo during the current season 17 focused on Covid-19 has felt forced, which has led to some speculation that he is being tricked into leaving Grey’s Anatomy.
The promotion for Jackson and April’s upcoming reunion includes flashbacks to Jackson and April’s relationship, which suggests Japril is the end of the game. A user of TikTok, Randomingz3, reported that April appears in the promotion without his wedding ring, suggesting that he is single again. . More importantly, Grey’s Anatomy has a habit of bringing back cast members to wrap up another character’s plot, like when Alex left to reunite with Izzie, or when Preston Burke reappeared to offer his work. to Christina Yang in Zurich. There is enough stuff here to suspect the theories may be true.
While April seems surprised to see Jackson at the door in the campaign, it can be a meaningful meeting that motivates Jackson to leave Gray’s Anatomy. Arizona finally moved to New York City to be closer to his daughter Sofia, so Jackson left the Gray Sloan Memorial to get closer to April and Harriet is not so much a stretch as a beautiful possibility. Other considerations may also explain why Jackson might be leaving Grey’s Anatomy. Jesse Williams ’signed a two-year deal to stay in the series in 2019 and did not renew his contract. There is still no confirmation that Grey’s Anatomy has been renewed for the 18th season. Williams is also the producer of the Oscar-winning Netflix short Two Distant Strangers, and with several productions in development, he could be heading into the next chapter of his career.
Jackson Avery has evolved into a generous and mature surgeon and father. With compassion, he let April go to Jordon to heal after Samuel’s death, and was genuinely happy for her when she married Matthew. If the next episode “Look Up Child” gets April and Jackson back together before the latter leaves Grey’s Anatomy, it could be the perfect ending for her character.
