Will a long-lost lover reignite the spark in Jackson Avery's heart? ‘Grey's Anatomy’ has finally made fans' dreams come true. April Kepner is back in his life. According to the summary for ‘Look Up Child’, “Jackson pays a visit to his father that helps set him on the right path.” 

The ABC show had officially announced the comeback of Sarah Drew's character after she posted a picture with Jesse Williams with the caption: “It’s 4am. Do you know where your #Japril is?” On ‘Grey's Anatomy’ Season 17 Episode 14, she will be seen after two years since 2018, when she bid goodbye to the show after a nine-year run.

In a sneak peek from the episode amid the George Floyd protests, Jackson is perturbed. Expressing his thoughts about the disturbing incident, he asks his mother, Catherine Fox (Debbie Allen), “If our foundation is so good at fighting the good fight, then why isn’t anything getting better? … Why aren’t we there (protesting in the streets)? Why don’t we have scars?”

Disheartened, he adds, “I don’t want to play a role in a system that’s just broken.” Just then, his mother snaps back, “You sound like your father.” Jackson then asks, “Oh, that’d be the worst thing in the world?” and it seems he goes to visit his father, Robert Avery (Eric Roberts).

With April coming back to the show, fans have many theories ready. One fan posted, theory: “What if Matthew leaves April, she finds out she's pregnant, and then Jackson has to help her? and if April is pregnant, Arizona would likely come back to deliver it. it's a big stretch, but it's possible!” Another speculated, “Soo umm April Kepner is coming on May 9th so that means she might be coming for Mers funeral... yeah um Mers dead. I swear to god I’m gonna sue.”

A third chimed in, “If we get Japril endgame they better have made it to where April and her husband are separated or something like NO CHEATING or anything like how Alex left jo.” One fan, however, feels there's no happy ending for the two. “I would love it if Jackson and April got back together but I doubt it because Grey’s Anatomy never let anyone be happy.”
