(Spoilers included below. If you have not yet watched Thursday’s “Grey’s Anatomy,” stop reading now.)
The “Grey’s Anatomy” Season 10 finale doubled as Sandra Oh‘s final episode, turning up the drama and waterworks to the max. Nowhere was this more apparent than on Twitter Thursday night, where fans expressed sadness, gratitude and a uniformed appreciation of one singular quote from the episode.
Judging by the below sample, both Oh — who played Dr. Cristina Yang for 10 seasons — and show creator Shonda Rhimes must have had their Interactions pages blown up with thanks and praise. We’ll find out soon enough how well-received the season ender translated to Nielsen ratings.
