“There are seasons I go back to set and know it’s going to be fun—comedic, lighthearted. But then there are seasons like this one, with explosions, chaos, and all sorts of things blowing up. This premiere? It was traumatic,” Luddington shared. The actress’ honesty gives us a glimpse into the grueling process of bringing such a high-intensity episode to life.

To fully appreciate Luddington’s words, let’s rewind a bit. The Season 21 finale left viewers hanging on the edge of their seats when a gas tank explosion shook Grey Sloan Memorial. The dramatic cliffhanger followed a patient’s mother threatening to blow up the hospital.
