'Grey's Anatomy' Season 17 Episode 4 Promo: After Derek, will Mark and Lexie visit Meredith when she's dying?
'Grey's Anatomy' Season 17 is doling out nostalgic feels for its fans. After the surprise return of Derek Shepherd (Patrick Dempsey), the preview for the next episode teased that someone else from her past will return too. Meredith has lost a lot of people in her life, including her sister, Lexie (Chyler Leigh), mother Ellis, friend George O' Malley (TR Knight), along with her own father, Thatcher. So, who's going to show up on that limbo-like beach?
Fans are praying that it is Meredith's younger sister Lexie, who died in the devastating plane crash of Season 9. "I’M JUST SAYING IT BETTER BE LEXIE OR GEORGE #GreysAnatomy," a fan tweeted. "As a lexie grey stan, if she’s not the next one on the beach im rioting!!!!! #greysanatomy," another wrote. "I know everyone wants it to be Lexie but dear god if this man pops up, I will cry for a week. #GreysAnatomy," a fan tweeted, sharing a gif of George. "I NEED LEXIE. If it’s Ellis I swear I WILL riot. I’ve seen her enough, let her go #Greysanatomy," a fan wrote.

"Meredith is in and out of consciousness..looks like slipping into a coma also? The beach is the in-between...George? Lexie? Ellis? Mark? Derek is going to wait for her until she’s ready...when she’s ready to go be with him? Is this another near-death for Mer," a fan tweeted. "Guys if we don’t get Mark and Lexie in one of these episodes I’m quitting #ManifestMcSteamy #GreysAnatomy," another wrote.

Mark (Eric Dane) and Lexie were one of the most-loved couples on GA, but like most of the other couples on the show, their love story was short-lived as well, due to unnecessary complications. And then, well Lexie died in the plane crash, but not after Mark confessed his love to her. Shortly after, Mark succumbed to injuries from the plane crash as well. Currently. Season 17 has been sprinkled with references to the old characters from GA, and fans are hoping that Cristina (Sandra Oh) and Alex (Justin Chambers) would come to be there for their best friend.
'Grey's Anatomy' airs on Thursdays at 9 pm on ABC.
