‘Anatomy of a Fall’s Fight Scene Wouldn’t Be the Same Without ‘Marriage Story’ – Collider

The Big Picture

From winning an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay to the Palm d'Or at Cannes, Anatomy of a Fall has continuously impressed during awards season. The acclaimed French film directed and co-written by Justine Triet is centered on Sandra (played by Sandra Hller), an author who is suddenly accused of pushing her husband from a window, leading to his death. As the plot unfolds, Sandra must go to court and prove herself innocent in light of the allegations, which becomes a challenge considering that the prosecutors try to use whatever they can (including her own book) to show that she is guilty.

With so much happening in the trial, the climax of the film kicks in when an audio recording of a fight between Sandra and her late husband Samuel (Samuel Theis) is played for everyone to hear. This key moment is the only inside look at the couple's marriage dynamic, making it hard to determine if the fight reflects their everyday life or if it just represents a fragment of their long-term relationship. A similar scene also takes place in the latter half of Noah Baumbauch's divorce drama, Marriage Story, in which Charlie (Adam Driver) and Nicole (Scarlett Johansson) have a heated argument at Charlie's bachelor apartment. Despite these two films having different storylines, the similarities between both fight scenes aren't mere coincidences.

A woman is suspected of her husband's murder, and their blind son faces a moral dilemma as the sole witness.

Before diving into the parallels between the couples' fights in both films, it is important to revisit the Anatomy of a Fall scene and why it is so vital to the film's procedural story arch. The audio recording is only presented in court toward the end of Sandra's trial as an ultimate attempt to link her to Samuel's fatal fall. It all starts with a conversation between the protagonist and her husband in the kitchen, as he blames her for using his idea to write her own novel.

In his eyes, Sandra is the ultimate factor preventing him from being a successful writer, since she imposes herself too much. They even speak English at home per her request (even though her native language is actually German). As the tension rises, Sandra begins to speak her mind about how displaced she feels living in a cabin in France, and having to comply with the decisions that Samuel has made for their family. As these two individuals start to argue about infidelity, their son's disability, and their sense of pride when it comes to their jobs, it is clear to the viewer that she gets the upper hand, a stark contrast when comparing this fight to the one depicted in Marriage Story.

In an interview with Picturehouses, Triet shared several titles that helped her craft the story of her award-winning film alongside her husband, Arthur Harari. Some of her honorable mentions included Kramer vs. Kramer and Opening Night. Yet, when asked about more recent films that might've become a source of inspiration for Anatomy of a Fall, the director shared that Marriage Story played a role in helping her come up with the fight scene, saying. "I love the film, I find her role a lot more fragile than his. The scene of the argument in 'Anatomy of a Fall' is almost in dialogue with that scene. I thought, "I will give this woman some things to answer with."

There is truth to Triet's take on the argument in Baumbach's film. When Charlie and Nicole have a conversation by themselves in his apartment, they try to find some common ground amid a complicated divorce trial. Their civil exchange goes south very quickly, when Nicole says that Charlie is becoming a lot like his father, a comparison that makes him furious. The former couple goes down a spiral, making hateful comparisons, attributing blame to one another for how their marriage turned out, with Charlie even going to the lengths of wishing that his ex-wife were dead. Although at the end, he falls on his knees and asks for forgiveness for what he said, Nicole is somewhat silenced and gives him consolation instead of responding. Their fight feels real, but it does portray Johansson's character as more fragile, and doesn't say enough to make Charlie accountable for his actions.

Different from Nicole, Sandra does not hold back when it comes to telling Samuel that the only person in the way of his success is himself. From making the family move to France for his job to him not writing a book because of his own lack of competence, the protagonist in Triet's film has a more empowered and outspoken presence in the fight scene in comparison to that of Nicole in the argument shown in Marriage Story. Instead of letting herself look small in light of the issues her husband was pointing out about his professional dissatisfaction, Sandra understands that despite her own wrongdoings (especially when it comes to the infidelity in their marriage), she is not the one to blame for Samuel's personal struggles. In a sense, Triet allows her main character to say what Noah Baumbach's leading lady doesn't.

Although the context of these marital disagreements isn't the same, one being about a divorce and the other presented as evidence in a murder trial, they play pivotal roles in both films. In Marriage Story, the fight shows how two people who used to live together as a family can suddenly become strangers in a matter of minutes (using words as weapons to hurt each other). The argument in Anatomy of a Fall is initially used as evidence to prove that Sandra is guilty of her husband's death, but it ends up being irrelevant when considering that a marriage is defined by more than a single moment. Despite the viewer getting to see the scene unfold (unlike the people listening to the recording at the trial), Triet pulls back the curtain when the violence begins, making it impossible to determine who was aggressive first. At the end of the day, both arguments represent the cracks in relationships that only the people on the inside can truly understand.

Anatomy of Fall is available to watch on Hulu in the U.S.

Why Did Alex Karev Leave Grey’s Anatomy? – CBR – Comic Book Resources

Summary

Grey's Anatomy lost one of its original cast members in Season 16 when Justin Chambers left the series. While he was only one of several original stars to have departed the ABC medical drama (the most notable still being Patrick Dempsey, whose Dr. Derek Shepherd was killed off), Chambers had put in more than a decade of work as Dr. Alex Karev. That meant his exit was shocking to fans, especially when they were told why the actor and Alex Karev were leaving.

Not only was it surprising that Justin Chambers would no longer be part of the Grey's Anatomy ensemble, but the storyline chosen for Alex Karev's departure also proved to be controversial. While the series is still considered one of the best romantic dramas on network television, digging back into Alex's past with fellow doctor Izzie Stevens was not the sendoff many viewers were expecting. So why, exactly, did Justin Chambers leave Grey's Anatomy?

Updated by Katie Doll on April 5, 2024: Grey's Anatomy has officially returned for its twentieth season, which will mark the show's first season without Ellen Pompeo as a main cast member. However, Meredith is far from the first main character to leave the series. In fact, one of the most heartbreaking departures is also one of the most controversial. What happened to Justin Chambers's Alex Karev, and why did he leave Grey's Anatomy?

Justin Chambers played Alex Karev, who initially had an infamous reputation among the ladies not everyone could be as endearing as BokHee. His snarky attitude and superiority complex made it hard to root for him in the early days, especially when it came to his subpar treatment of fellow intern Izzie Stevens. But as he opened up more about his upbringing to his co-workers, a softer side of Alex started to unveil itself.

Alex was born to a father who was dependent on heroin and a mother who had mental health problems. Alex went through 17 foster families in his youth, being separated from his younger siblings. When they were a little older, his brother, Aaron, was diagnosed with schizophrenia and tried to kill their sister. As the oldest of the bunch, Alex was left to take care of them and his mother while neglecting himself.

It was surprising when Alex started showing interest in pediatrics since he showed poor bedside manners and was lacking in grace and perkiness compared to Arizona Robbins. His paternal side showed as he worked under Arizona, however. Moreover, Dr. Addison Montgomery helped lay the groundwork for Alex's change by showing him the importance of investing in patients. Both women turned a taunting, careless resident into the Head of Pediatrics who respected his colleagues, and he became one of the best characters for it. When the rest of the interns slowly departed from the show, it eventually was just Meredith and Alex. The two became best friends, and Alex became Meredith's "person" after Cristina left.

Alex's original romantic partner was Izzie (played by Katherine Heigl). They initially didn't get along, especially after he taunted her about her side work as a lingerie model, which helped fund her medical school tuition. After realizing that the way he treated her was wrong, however, Justin told her about how his father was a heroin addict and he went to school on a wrestling scholarship. After opening up to each other, Alex and Izzie slowly began developing feelings even if their relationship involved pursuing other people.

The two married after Izzie was diagnosed with a brain tumor and didn't believe she would live very long. She survived, but the contentious relationship between the two fizzled out in Season 6. He also slept with Kate Walsh's character, Addison Montgomery (who recently returned to Grey's Anatomy in Seasons 18 and 19). Alex began his next serious relationship with intern Jo Wilson in Season 10, and things looked up for the character after that. He slowly began to prove himself to be one of the best characters in Grey's Anatomy. However, his former flame, Izzie, ultimately changed his life.

Viewers believed Alex was happy in his married life with Jo, but he shocked them when he decided to reunite with Izzie during Season 16's "Leave a Light On," the series' 350th episode. Alex called Izzie to see if she would attend Meredith's trial for the reinstatement of her medical license and heard two young voices in the background. It was revealed that Izzie used frozen embryos created during her cancer treatment to become pregnant, and the two children were biologically Alex's. Alex left Jo and moved to Kansas to start a life with his newly discovered family.

Alex Karev's sudden departure angered fans, who disliked how Grey's Anatomy dealt with his story to accommodate Justin Chambers' request to leave the series. They couldn't be angry with the actor, because he was devoted to the role for 15 years. "For some time now, I have hoped to diversify my acting roles and career choices," Chambers said in a 2020 interview with Deadline. Alex had started as a mere intern and moved all the way up to a pediatric surgical fellow, so it's possible Chambers felt he had taken the character as far as he could.

Although Alex moved to another state to reunite with Izzie in Season 16, it's possible he could still return to Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital. It likely wouldn't be with Izzie, however, because actor Katherine Heigl has yet to reprise her role on Grey's Anatomy and hasn't seemed interested in doing so. It also seems extremely unlikely now that Alex's best friend, Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) left Grey's Anatomy as a main character in Season 19. But anything is possible in the world of Grey's Anatomy. Pompeo still appears in the series, just not as much as she previously did in Seasons 1-19.

Jessica Capshaw will also return as Dr. Arizona Robbins, who was previously assumed to be completely done with the series. Should Alex Karev make a guest appearance, it'll be interesting to see if the writers make him face his ex-wife Jo and the aftereffects of his decision to suddenly divorce her. Jo has moved on with her life since her sudden divorce from Alex, having adopted a daughter named Luna and officially starting a romantic relationship with her best friend Link. If Alex were to return, there's little chance Jo would crawl back to him.

Since leaving Grey's Anatomy, however, Justin Chambers has appeared in several other projects that show he no longer needs to return to the series in order to have a viable acting career. Most notably, he appeared in the 2022 miniseries The Offer, which depicted the making of the classic mobster film The Godfather. Chambers portrays legendary actor Marlon Brando in the series, which shows how he was cast in the iconic role of Vito Corleone. Therefore, although audiences would love to see Chambers return to Grey's Anatomy, he may be more interested in pursuing other projects for the time being.

Grey's Anatomy is available to stream on Netflix and Hulu. New episodes air every Thursday at 8 PM ET on ABC. The series has been renewed for a 21st season.

A drama centered on the personal and professional lives of five surgical interns and their supervisors.

Grey’s Anatomy Misses a Major Opportunity with Arizona Robbins’ Return – Den of Geek

This article contains spoilers for Greys Anatomy season 20 episode 4.

Fans were introduced to the character of Dr. Arizona Robbins, portrayed beautifully by Jessica Capshaw, back in season 5 of Greys Anatomy. Over the years, many felt seen through the character because, as the actress wrote on her Instagram, Arizona was one of the first members of the LGBTQ+ community to be represented in a series regular role on network television, making her impact on the world permanent and forever. So when her character left in the season 14 finale, it left a big hole in the medical drama.

Thankfully, she wasnt killed off. Instead, Arizona decided to move to New York for the sake of her daughter, who needs both of her parents. She teams up with Dr. Nicole Herman (Geena Davis) to start the Robbins/Herman Center for Womens Health, where she will perform fetal surgery, and launch her maternal mortality prevention program. Last we see of her, shes receiving a text from her ex-wife Callie (Sara Ramirez), who Arizona shares is also currently single and cant wait to see her. With this information, it certainly seems like a reconciliation is possible and on the horizon. Of course, we dont actually get to see it, and any reunion is left as a mystery.

So when it was announced that Capshaw would be reprising her role for season 20 episode 4, Baby Can I Hold You, fans were hoping that this would be the shows way of filling in the blanks on the former fan-favorite couple and what happened to Arizona after she left the hospital. Sadly, those updates never come, which doesnt make sense considering those were big questions tied to the characters exit that came out of nowhere. It definitely seems like a missed opportunity.

Are French Courtooms Really Like That? Fact-Checking Anatomy Of A Fall – Screen Rant

Summary

The Acadamy Award-winning film Anatomy of a Fall has been celebrated for its tense dialogue in hectic court drama, begging questions about its accuracy compared to real French courtrooms. French filmmaker Justine Triet co-wrote and directed the film, for which she received the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay. The movie has been celebrated primarily for its writing and for the excellent performances of Sandra Hller and the Anatomy of a Fall cast. Great movies don't need to be entirely accurate to real life, but a film that embraces a candid tone will naturally raise curiosity regarding realism.

Anatomy of a Fall is available to stream on Hulu.

Many of the best movies like Anatomy of a Fall are classic legal dramas like Witness for the Prosecution, which have become ingrained in American culture, defining the mechanics of the cinematic court setting. However, the legal system is obviously different in France, giving Triet's film a unique function that many American audiences wouldn't be familiar with. That unfamiliarity serves the movie's drama, creating a sense of chaos and confusion for Anatomy of a Fall's intensity. As for its accuracy to a French trial, there's a significant amount to break down.

Speaking of the chaos in Anatomy of a Fall, much of the film's potency comes from the disorganized trial conversation. In American legal dramas, it's typical for things to get rowdy and dramatic during a climactic scene or otherwise, with characters raising their voices, lawyers yelling for objections, and judges making threats in order to silence the scene. Those American films have a particularly measured drama, with the conflict remaining mostly static, back-and-forth, until the big outburst scenes. In Anatomy of a Fall, that drama is constant,which is realistic to France's legal system.

In a Vulture interview, Jacqueline Hodgson, a law professor in England, broke down many aspects of the depicted courtroom drama. Anatomy of a Fall may not be based on a real story, but it excels in its authenticity, with very few inaccuracies. One aspect it nails is the open discussion of the court, as opposed to the American legal system, where one person is questioned at a time, and no one is permitted to speak unless directly addressed. There is organization in the film's trial, but it can seem more loose compared to an American trial.

Hodgson compares the two, explaining that the accused/defendant gets to speak out more, even to correct someone when they've made a statement about them. Sandra Hller's character frequently does this in Anatomy of a Fall. Hodgson differentiates the systems' ideologies, contrasting American and French legal systems as adversarial vs truth-seeking, meaning the American system centers more on winning and losing, while France focuses more on discovering information. In that regard, the judges in France are allowed to speak directly to the defendant, as seen in the movie.

The interviewer describes the French courtroom in Anatomy of a Fall as "gladiatorial" due to its rounded head, questioning the legitimacy of the setting. Unlike the square chambers in American courts, where the defendant and prosecutor sit on opposite sides, both facing the judge, the film's court is rounded. Still, some aspects remain consistent, with the judges being at the head of the room and the accused and prosecutor on opposite sides.

Hodgson explains that, like in American courtrooms, the judge is raised to physical and symbolic elevation, presiding over the trial. She explains that the aspect of a lawyer sitting by their client is a North American concept, adding: "In France, the accused will be separated off, and everything goes on around her." She stresses the importance of the rounded architecture and symbolic courtroom composition to the overall process.

Aside from the architecture, the legal attire is a notable aspect of the French courtroom in Anatomy of a Fall. Characters are wearing robes that resemble university graduation attire, which Hodgson explains is something they can throw on over their everyday attire to prepare for the court. Compared to the level of style and presentation that hold a prominent place in American courts in order to sway juries, she explains that French lawyers are often dressed very casually under their robes.

In American legal dramas, the lawyer is almost always the most essential character. From movies like Philadelphia and My Cousin Vinny to TV shows like Better Call Saul, lawyers are depicted as a significant proponent of the courtroom procedure, with their wit and skill often making or breaking cases. However, this plays into Hodgson's description of the "adversarial system," meaning the American system stakes heavily on lawyers winning and losing cases. In France, lawyers don't play as significant of a role.

The defense ultimately relies on Sandra's explanations, which is made more challenging by French not being her native language.

Hodgson explains that in France, "The judge and advocate general are much more important." In Anatomy of a Fall, Sandra's lawyer, Vincent (Swann Arlaud), has a few moments to speak, but the bulk of the trial comes down to Sandra arguing for herself. He helps guide her arguments away from the courtroom, but the defense ultimately relies on Sandra's explanations, which is made more challenging by French not being her native language.

Early in Anatomy of a Fall, a judge visits the house to assess the situation and gather evidence. Again, this is something that would seem atypical to an American audience, as the evaluation of a potential crime scene would be handled by the police. Even more so, Sandra is allowed to go with the judge, providing an explanation from her perspective as they examine the premises. Hodgson explains this is accurate and contributes to the French courtroom ideology of truth-finding.

The judge present in the search isn't the same as in the court, but rather the juge d'instruction, or "pre-trial judge." At the actual court, three different trial judges serve as a panel. Hodgson describes the purpose of Sandra attending the pre-trial judge's examination, saying, "The idea is that you, as the accused person, along with the public prosecutor and the victim, all can feed into that investigation, and both the accused person and the victim can each be represented by a lawyer." Their findings carry significant weight in the trial.

Although Anatomy of a Fall excels in its realism, it's not entirely accurate. Hodgson highlights a few examples. First, she explains that Sandra could have had access to a translator if she preferred to help with her language barrier. However, she adds that using a translator can disrupt the flow, which could be why Sandra decided not to. It's almost certainly why Justine Triet chose not to have one in her film. The other two major inaccuracies revolve around Daniel, Sandra's son, who testifies in favor of his mother in the Anatomy of a Fall ending.

Hodgson explains that having a sitter for Daniel to take care of him while his mother was on trial is not something that the French legal system would be able to afford in real life. Also, she adds that Daniel's climactic testimony was primarily a creative liberty, saying, "Normally, you couldn't sit in on the trial, hear what everybody else says, and then testify." For the most part, Anatomy of a Fall is true to the system, though, like any great film, it takes its freedom for riveting drama.

Sources: Vulture

Anatomy of a Fall is a crime-drama film by director Justine Triet and made its initial debut at the Cannes Film Festival in 2023. Following the death of successful writer Sandra's husband Samuel in the French Alps, she is arrested and accused of murder. With their blind son, Daniel, the only witness to Samuel's death, Sandra must face nearly impossible odds to prove her innocence.

8 Ways Grey’s Anatomy & Station 19 Crossovers Changed Both Shows Forever – Screen Rant

Summary

Ben Warren's career shift to firefighter in Grey's Anatomy season 14, ep 13 paved the way for Station 19 's intro.

The several Greys Anatomy and Station 19 crossovers offered a lot of fun for the fans of the medical drama and the firefighter show, but only a few of them had a massive impact on both shows. Ben Warrens career move from doctor to firefighter proved the perfect occasion to introduce the Station 19 team, with Greys Anatomy season 14, episode 13 functioning as a backdoor pilot. However, not all crossovers between the two shows were life-altering for the characters involved, but a few of them introduced storylines that deeply affected Greys Anatomy and Station 19.

Greys Anatomy and Station 19 crossovers cover major incidents in Seattle that involve both Station 19, Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital, and the main characters of both shows. While some crossover episodes simply set up compelling storylines for the two shows to share, there are also ones that threaten to unsettle the teams foundation at Station 19 or imperil individual characters in Greys Anatomy. Eight episodes have been particularly impactful in that they upset the natural order of things at Station 19 and Greys Anatomy, setting up storylines that took center stage for some time.

Greys Anatomy season 14, episode 13, You Really Got a Hold on Me worked as a backdoor pilot for Station 19, introducing both Ben in his new role as a firefighter, and Andy as the heart of Station 19, but more importantly, the firefighter who helped out with a patient. Drawing from Greys Anatomy's history with the medical storyline, having Meredith and Andy meet like that easily established a close bond between them.

With Meredith having Andy participate in the OR and Andy covering Meredith by answering the call for the medical advancement contest, their meeting looked like the passing of the baton from Greys Anatomys protagonist to the new Station 19 character. By working as a backdoor pilot, Greys Anatomy season 14, episode 13 essentially set up the world and dynamics that would be seen in Station 19, even just by focusing on Andy and Ben.

In particular, Bens journey highlighted his restlessness in being at his old place of work but, as a firefighter, having the knowledge to treat the patients he brought in but not being there in that role, finally showing the difficulties of his career shift. By setting up the world, the tone, and the main players, Greys Anatomy season 14, episode 13 created the perfect setting for Station 19 to continue to build on.

Station 19 season 1 premiere set up the shows ensemble, but it also introduced the biggest threats to the fire stations natural state. Bailey and Meredith appear in the episode as Pruitts doctor, further connecting the two shows in an organic way, while the doctors also helped Station 19's main character Andy through a personal crisis.

However, "Stuck" also introduced Pruitts cancer in the most dramatic way possible, with his collapse during a fire. It also explored how the news would impact the larger story and the changes the fire station would have gone through as a result of his diagnosis being made public. With Station 19 season 1 just kicking off its story and characters, this introduced a dramatic element that was character-based rather than just relying on the latest disaster of the week.

There have been several key character deaths in Station 19, but it was unexpected to include one as part of a crossover episode. Ripleys inhalation of hydrofluoric acid sent Grey Sloan Memorial into a frenzy, with Maggie Pierce sending Station 19 firefighters to look for him after he left the hospital as he was determined to propose to Vic.

The crossover element was small, with Maggie popping up as Ripleys doctor. However, season 2, episode 15, "Always Ready" was a heartbreaking episode that saw Ripley, one of the pivotal characters on the show, die. Seeing the reaction from the others, especially Vic, makes it all the more tragic. The matters time sensitivity also meant Lucas and Vics actions outed their relationship with the department, leading to firefighters badmouthing Vic and landing Travis in jail for assaulting one of them who offended Vic to his face.

In framing Station 19 season 3, episode 5 around a team-building trip, "Into the Woods" perfectly set up one of Greys Anatomy and Station 19s longest relationships and a dark storyline for one of the characters. The surprise bear attack in the same woods landed Maya at Grey Sloan with a nose in a bag, catching Carinas attention. Their meeting at the pub kickstarted Carina and Mayas relationship, but Mayas thoughts about her strict father also hinted at her future storyline where she realizes that he was abusive.

Roberts problems with pain after his leg surgery turned into something worse in this episode, as his insistence on getting Koracick to prescribe him more meds already hinted at something being wrong. However, its his stealing the fentanyl vials from Warrens PRT that effectively started his addiction story, eventually leading to Robert's demotion anddestroying the career he built up to that moment.

Andrew DeLucas death might have given him a hero-worthy ending as he managed to stop the sex trafficking ring he denounced episodes before, but it also impacted almost everyone in Station 19 and Greys Anatomy. Indeed, his attack left all doctors shocked, but it hit Taryn Helm, Richard Webber, Miranda Bailey, and Levi Schmitt particularly hard, whether they felt guilty for not stopping the traffickers earlier or just shocked by the accident.

However, none was more affected by Andrew's than his sister, Carina DeLuca. Andrews death and the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted Carina and Mayas differences in dealing with things, and it almost broke them up before having them end up engaged. However, this hard period for them made the fate of Carina and Maya's relationship one of the unanswered storylines of Station 19 that needs to be resolved.

The Station 19 season 5 premiere "Phoenix from the Flame" shook the foundations of the team, as it simultaneously demoted Maya from captain and sent Andy to Station 23. The previous season had shown the team, with Maya as captain, defying orders to save the day. It was a heroic moment, but the next season picks up with the consequences of that call being shown.

It always seemed clear that Maya's decision would cut short her career as captain and this episode further cemented that inevitability. However, Andys transfer to Station 23 entirely depended on her, Carina, and Mayas incursion into Chief McCallisters office to defend themselves against his request for Mayas resignation as captain, worsening the already dire situation and separating those at the core of Station 19s team.

Greys Anatomy has also killed off several characters throughout its long run, but in one crossover episode, they actually killed off a Station 19 character, impacting characters in both series. Season 18, episode 5 killed off Dean following his injuries in an explosion in a previous Station 19 episode. The death changed both Ben and Miranda's lives in Greys Anatomy and Station 19.

Deans request for Ben and Miranda to be Prus guardians had he died gave Greys Anatomy and Station 19 the chance to explore the teams grief for Deans death, as well as Jos perspective on Baileys predicament of not knowing she would have soon cared for a toddler. Jos angle easily confirmed taking in Pru was the only solution, as no better family could have taken her in than Ben and Miranda, whom Dean chose precisely for that eventuality.

Station 19s bad string of captains started with Beckett. However, while his drinking problem had yet to be acknowledged, Station 19 season 6, episode 6, "Everybody Says Don't" clearly displayed his differences with Station 19's crew, who did everything they could to save a patient.

Beckett's refusal to save Jonathan from the helicopter crash in the safest way possible for him led to the teams insubordination, guided by Andy, which lighted the fuse of what would become a very difficult and strained relationship between Beckett and the team. However, that call also made Andy bench Maya, who reacted in an even harsher way than expected, prompting her overexertion and accident.

Mayas arc about her excessive training not only showed her carelessness with her health but also almost destroyed Maya and Carinas relationship again.

Mayas arc about her excessive training not only showed her carelessness with her health but also almost destroyed Maya and Carinas relationship again. This way, Station 19 season 6, episode 6 highlighted how bad leadership influenced all aspects of the job, from the calls to its firefighters private lives, affected by their personal problems and lack of leadership in the firehouse bound to eventually cause a fatality.

Although Mayas accident in Station 19 season 6, episode 6 only temporarily separated her and Carina, it still served as a cautionary tale about what would happen to firefighters under a bad leader, upsetting various characters in Station 19 and Greys Anatomy.

Station 19 is a spin-off of Grey's Anatomy that premiered in 2018 on ABC. The series follows the professional and personal lives of the firefighters at Seattle Fire Station 19. Grey's Anatomy and Station 19 sometimes have crossover episodes in which a storyline is depicted on one night throughout both shows.

Grey's Anatomy is considered one of the great television shows of our time, winning several awards and four Emmys. The high-intensity medical drama follows Meredith Grey and the team of doctors at Grey Sloan Memorial, who are faced with life-or-death decisions on a daily basis. They seek comfort from one another, and, at times, more than just friendship. Together they discover that neither medicine nor relationships can be defined in black and white.

Grey’s Anatomy Season 21 Is Coming – IGN

Grey's Anatomy is not ending with its landmark 20th season as ABC has renewed the medical drama for Season 21.

As reported by Deadline, Grey's Anatomy will celebrate its 20th anniversary with the opening of a new season in 2025. ABC renewed the show which already holds the record as the longest running primetime medical drama just three episodes into the current season.

"The loyalty and love of Greys Anatomy fans has propelled us into a historic 21st season and I could not be more grateful," creator Shonda Rhimes said.

"[Showrunner] Meg Marinis storytelling is a gift that continues to keep the show vibrant, compelling and alive, and I cant wait to see what she has in store for next season."

Deadline believes most cast members' contracts will end this season, however, leaving the roster of Seattle Grace Hospital interns, residents, and attendees up in the air ahead of Season 21. First premiering in 2005, just two of the original cast members remain on Grey's Anatomy: Chandra Wilson as Bailey and James Pickens Junior as Richard.

ABC didn't confirm how many episodes the new season would be, but Grey's Anatomy's episode numbers have greatly varied in length over the last two decades. Seasons 18 and 19 stuck to a consistent 20 while Season 20 dropped to 10, though this was largely caused by the dual actors and writers strike which brought Hollywood to a standstill.

Ryan Dinsdale is an IGN freelance reporter. He'll talk about The Witcher all day.
