Ohhh, that’s right! I totally forgot about that. I was so stuck on her knowing Maya’s “eyes forward” mantra, meaning she’s told her about that, but it slipped my mind that Carina said she wasn’t gonna do this. And has been doing this for a while, starting from the truck breakdown, lol.
She could have meant she won’t try if people don’t put in the effort themselves, or signaled she’d changed her mind by not leaving when Maya opened the door for her. Or maybe she just continued to want to have fun too, but each step deeper happened without her really noticing and now she’s going on a couple’s vacation a thousand miles away and knowing exactly how to bring back Maya from a panic attack.
And yes, I’d like to see Maya do the same for Carina. Maya does have a lot of issues, but most stem from the same source, and she does seem to be tackling them, now it’s Carina’s turn. You’re right, it’ll most likely be on Grey’s, not only because that’s Carina’s show, but it’ll probably be tied to her brother. Even though Meredith seems to be handling a lot of that, they can’t leave Carina out of it completely, right? Unfortunately, though DeLuca’s arc seemed to be building to something, isn’t Grey’s about to run out of eps soon and won’t be finishing the season proper? So it might have to wait till next season? I actually don’t know how it all works out, are they just going to air Station 19 eps that assumed Grey’s would still be shot? Or are they so independent in terms of story that it doesn’t really matter if a character pops up in S19, there’s no chance something important was happening to them in Grey’s?
