Lol, yeah, as soon as Maya started casually showing up in Jack’s scenes, I was like, nope. I hoped they wouldn’t go there because of that ep where Ryan helped with her brother (and god, their dad did a number on them) and I’d been afraid THAT might have been a thing and of course it wasn’t, but no such luck this time. I would have preferred Ryan, tbh, I just dislike Jack in general, for both of them. I like Andy with Ryan and I actually like her a lot with Sullivan, it’s not hating m/f in general. But Jack…like, so many deaths and he’s still alive? Okay. >_>
And right! Maya’s plots are often not so much about her as they are her doing something to Andy. Now this new thing, which AGAIN, Andy might be mad at Maya about. You can just make it a solid relationship, show, there doesn’t have to be this drama. Although I guess that’s literally not true for them, as long as it’s on screen, there has to be drama attached. Which applies to all serialized media to some extent but this franchise takes it to an extreme.
It’s our luck that the one independent thing Maya had, with Carina, might not even shown to its fullest this season. It looked like DeLuca’s storyline was picking up at the end of the Grey’s finale, which was originally just a regular ep but had to be made into the finale because their taping was cut short. And we also know that since they want to pick up where they left off next season, they’ve edited out any parts from S19 that reference what would have happened in the rest of the Grey’s season. I’m just guessing but some of that might have been related to Carina and her brother. Maybe Teddy and her cheating, but I can’t imagine the S19 people care tons about that. I just hope we still get that scene in the captain’s office.
