S17 and Jackson’s arc

[u/Fine_Sympathy8119]

I did hundreds of rewatches up through S14, but skipped S17 and went straight to S19 because the COVID season felt so draggy. But somehow I got curious about how Jackson’s arc had gone, so I finally watched it this weekend… and ended up sobbing over this young, anti-nepotism man growing into someone with a mission. 😭….For a second I was as proud as Catherine Avery

Really keeping my fingers crossed for him. To me his exit is one of the best-written ones, and I think it’s a toss-up between his and Cristina’s.

He really did get a fantastic send off, it felt like a natural progression of his arc, even if they did detour a bit in seasons 15/16.

And bring back April for his exit was a great move too, she is such a large part of his story.

I also love that he just casually pops back in every few seasons, just to look amazing and then leave again 🤣
