Yahoo Lifestyle Grey’s Anatomy Teases Heartbreaking Exit for Midori Francis’ Mika — WATCH
As reader Sam commented on TVLine’s recap of Thursday’s Grey’s Anatomy, it sure looks like “Yasuda is getting the O’Malley exit.”
In the episode’s final moments, Midori Francis’ Mika was driving sister Chloe home from the hospital. But, since Yasuda was dead tired after working double time to make up for the break she took to care for her sibling, who has cancer, she dozed off at the wheel, and… crash!

In the promo for the Thursday, Nov. 14, episode, things appear to go from bad to worse. As Mika’s fellow residents freak out — especially poor Jules, who so recently left the friend zone with Yasuda — the patient starts coding. In other words, Mika sure seems destined to follow in the toe-tagged footsteps of such ill-fated Grey’s Anatomy characters as George, Mark, Lexie and Derek.
News that Francis would not be sticking around to finish a third season as Mika broke in May. But as Season 21 got underway, the show only made us love the character more as she fell into a new romance with pal Jules.
Thursday’s episode also seemed to set up Jake Borelli’s exit after seven years as Levi. Schmitt informed bosses Richard and Bailey, as well as bestie Helm, that he’d accepted a peds research position in Texas. Per the logline for next week’s “If You Leave,” Levi asks new boo James a shocking question that could impact their future. Grey’s Anatomy wouldn’t write off Michael Thomas Grant as the hospital’s newly introduced chaplain so soon… would it?
