‘Grey’s Anatomy’ Alum Sandra Oh Details Causing “Grief” for Writers on Set Over Script Demands
The staff members of Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital are facing yet another tragedy.
Following the Grey’s Anatomy season 21 finale, which concluded with a hospital explosion leaving the fates of many major characters uncertain, including Dr. Atticus “Link” Lincoln (Chris Carmack) and Dr. Monica Beltran (Natalie Morales), it was revealed in the season 22 premiere that Dr. Beltran died, while Link is undergoing a significant recovery process.
In the Oct. 9 premiere, Beltran was crushed by falling hospital machinery amid the explosion—caused by an acetylene tank leak brought in by a disgruntled patient. However, she manages to assist surgical intern Jules Millin (Adelaide Kane) in saving a young patient before ultimately succumbing to her injuries due to emergency responders taking too long to reach the operating room where they were trapped.
Link, on the other hand, is severely injured at the start of the episode, with a piece of equipment also landing on his chest. Nevertheless, he miraculously survives—despite flatlining at one point—thanks to Dr. Miranda Bailey (Chandra Wilson), Dr. Owen Hunt (Kevin McKidd), and Dr. Ben Warren (Jason George) collaborating to save him.
