Robert I. Mesa, who made his debut on “Grey’s Anatomy” in the third episode of this season, playing intern James Chee, has been bumped up to be a recurring cast member on the ABC medical drama. Chee is the first indigenous doctor on “Grey’s Anatomy” in its 17 seasons, and he will next appear in the episode airing on April 15.
Chee was introduced as part of the new class of interns at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital, who are embarking on their careers as doctors during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Doctors and nurses at Grey Sloan tried to save DeLuca, but unfortunately, he succumbed to his wounds.
However, DeLuca s efforts didn t go in vain because, in the end, the traffickers were arrested.
