Greys Anatomyhas set up the upcoming exits of cast membersJake Borelli(Levi Schmitt) andMidori Francis(Mika Yasuda).
And in a typicalGreys fashion, after slowly and methodically building the groundwork for Levis departure in the Nov. 7 Episode, Night Moves, the series threw in a shocking Yasuda surprise at the very end of the episode.
After an unplanned extra night shift, Yasuda fell asleep at the wheel of her beloved van while taking her little sister home after her cancer surgery, resulting in a head-on collision.

Things appear pretty straight-forward for Levi, for whom the biggest remaining obstacle is how to tell his Chaplain boyfriend that he has accepted the peds research position in Texas, which had been mulling for quite awhile.
In Night Moves, Bailey and Webber put up a fight with a competitive offer for an attending general surgeon position, and Levi got a trial run but in the end, he went with his heart which had been set on a career in pediatrics.
Not surprising, a tearful Helm was the first to get the news, with the two sharing a hug.
