What Will Happen to Alex Karev on Grey's Anatomy?
Dear Grey's Anatomy, Please Don't Kill Alex Karev

This could make sense, given that the last time Alex was mentioned in the midseason finale, he had been home to care for his mother. Alex could leave Seattle permanently to help his mother, who lives with schizophrenia. Still, we last saw her in a good place in her life, and his unexpected move would leave Jo grappling with the aftershock of his absence. Seriously, how could Alex leave permanently without a final moment with Jo?
Alex could also ditch Grey's Izzie Stevens style, ghosting the hospital forever. He's seen a lot of people move on from him in his life — think Izzie, Lucy, and his father. Still, given his fierce loyalty to his friends, this is a hard pill to swallow.
