I love how they wrapped this up by showing us that their friendship mattered to both of them even though it's not the most iconic friendship on the show they really did have a lot of affection for each other

[@twilightsagafan289]

Jackson and Meredith’s friendship didn’t get enough credit, they really had a lot in common, and went through a lot of loss together - they had some really great scenes and I’m glad the friendship got its own scene in the send-off episode all things considered, this might be one of my favourite character send offs, it feels really full-circle for Jackson’s character to end up with April, who is very clearly the love of his life and take on the family foundation (which was such a big part of his life) and make it his own while “changing the world”

Glad the writers are shedding light on a friendship that while it wasn't in your face on screen it was still very present. See THIS is the goodbye, we needed from Alex. Not a letter and a few flashes of what Alex's life is like with his twins.

[@drisodreamyy9231]

I cried like a baby on that episode between all the letters but seeing Jo break down hurt so bad. Can you imagine loving somebody so much that you can’t hate them for abandoning you after everything they know you went through and what you went through with them. Knowing that him leaving you didn’t mean he didn’t love you but he had to do the right thing and if he saw you again he never would’ve been able to do it. That was so heavy that might’ve been my biggest cry since the beginning and I’ve been watching since it started.

They didn't give him this episode instead it had the others that they could have done with out but I guess because he had a whole episode before they didn't want to do it again.

I do not have a problem with either story arc but the one they have set up is that Meredith didn't want to be alone. Storylines for her being a brilliant surgeon have hit a wall. Mini liver and abdominal wall transplants has not happened in awhile. If they came up with something new in that regard it would be cool. But they haven't yet. At the moment she doesn't even know if she can stand long enough to be a surgeon any more.
