Spoiler alert: This feature contains spoilers and speculations on Grey's Anatomy Season 10. Episode 21 ("Change of Heart") is believed to be Yang-centric. Read at your own risk.
There are 24 episodes in Grey's Anatomy Season 10. Episode 21 is promoted as "Farewell to Cristina" but it is believed there is a long goodbye for Yang in this Shonda Rhimes creation. It has been months since Rhimes and Oh confirmed Yang's exit in the season finale. This "goodbye" is going to be elaborate.
Jackson Avery (Jesse Williams) is delivering some bad news in Grey's Anatomy Season 10, Episode 21. But it is probably not about Yang. Cristina is mentioned in the synopsis for Episode 22, where Burke returns. Fans have been endlessly speculating on what happens next. Isaiah Washington has some teasers.
"It's gonna blow your mind. You are not ready. You can't figure it out. You can't figure out, Shonda [Rhimes]. I don't know what she eats," Washington tells BuddyTV.com. Follow this link for BuddyTV's full length interview.
Preston Burke was last seen on Grey's Anatomy in the Season 3 finale, "Didn't We Almost Have It All?" This heart-crushing episode - where Yang asks Mer to tear open the wedding gown she's wearing -- aired seven years ago.
Meanwhile, Ellen Pompeo recently posted on Instagram a photo of her with Sandra Oh. The caption reads: "So proud of the work we've done together @iamsandraoh we've laughed we cried we've kicked some serious acting ass together #sograteful." To many Grey's fans, Meredith Grey is officially saying goodbye.
Shonda Rhimes is known for killing off her characters in a merciless-to-fans fashion. How will Cristina Yang exit Grey's Anatomy Season 10?
Caterina Scorsone ("Private Practice") guest stars in Grey's Anatomy Season 10, Episode 21 as Derek's sister Amelia. Debbie Allen ("Fame") also returns as Catherine Avery. Watch the "Farewell to Cristina" promo clip here.
