'Grey's Anatomy' Season 17 Episode 5: Is Jo pregnant with Jackson's baby? Here's why fans think so

It's quite possible that Jo is pregnant with Jackson's baby

'Grey's Anatomy' might have had many cringe couples and hook-ups along the way, but few have received the hatred Jo (Camilla Luddington) and Jackson Avery (Jesse Williams) have. Jo and Jackson had sex in the previous episode, much to the chagrin of fans, as they're pretty sick of Jackson being thrown around to every woman on the show. However, there's a new suspicion that is rising among fans: Is Jo pregnant? And that too, with Jackson's baby?

"So anyone else think Jo may be pregnant? #GreysAnatomy@camilluddington," a fan tweeted. Other fans noted that there 'were too many signals'. "Gosh now that I think abt it Jo COULD actually be pregnant TO MUCH SIGNALS #GreysAnatomy," one wrote. "When jo going find out she’s pregnant Jackson stay making unplanned babies #GreysAnatomy," another wrote. "Jackson is gonna get Jo pregnant and then he’s gonna have two ugly baby mamas. Good for him! #Greys #greysanatomy," an angry fan wrote.
 
 

Here's the logic behind this speculation: "When we found out @camilluddington was pregnant right after Justin left the show last season and we thought they might do a Jo/Alex pregnancy plotline....but now Jo and Jackson just hooked up right around the same timeline  #GreysAnatomy#greys #JoWilsonDeservesHappiness," a fan wrote.

Jo and Jackson were slammed as the ultimate cringe couple in the previous episode, so we're not sure how this is going to pan out, if indeed the speculation is true. "I can’t believe I haven’t seen more people tweet this but Jo and babies the past couple of episodes is making me think, is she pregnant," a fan wrote.

Jo's husband Alex (Justin Chambers) left her in the previous season, for his ex-wife Izzy Stevens (Katherine Heigl). Chambers had decided to exit his show and this write-off was slammed by all the fans as it ruined all the character development that Alex had undergone for the past sixteen years of 'Grey's Anatomy'. Since then, Jo has been trying to piece herself back together without much success and decided to ask for 'sexual favors' from Jackson. Well, this could get very weird.

'Grey's Anatomy' airs on Thursdays at 9 pm on ABC.
