When Grey's Anatomy fans tuned into the April 1, 2021 episode, "Breathe," we expected to see Lexie Grey (Chlyler Leigh). But we didn't get a trick played on us... it was more of a surprise. Dr. Mark Sloan (Eric Dane) — a.k.a. the love of Lexie's life — also appeared on the beach with Lexie and Meredith (Ellen Pompeo). Dane previously left the show in Season 9: while Mark initially survived the plane crash during the Season 8 finale, he later died of complications.

Dane told The Hollywood Reporter that he was in China filming a movie when he got the first call from Grey's Anatomy showrunner Krista Vernoff about returning. The story made sense, so Dane signed up. "It feels like I never left," the Euphoria actor said. "It's a role that always fit for me, like one of those great old t-shirts. And it was just like putting the t-shirt back on and hanging out on a beach for a couple days, and catching up with some old friends."

For her part, Leigh films Supergirl in Canada, so she unfortunately couldn't physically reunite with Dane and Pompeo. But Grey's Anatomy used "green screen magic" to make the beach scenes happen. As for their characters, Dane believes they're meant to be together in any dimension, saying, "I think Mark would have found Lexie no matter what. Whether it would have been on Meredith's beach or Lexie's beach, or anybody's beach, I think Mark would have found her."
