Eric Dane, who played Mark McSteamy Sloan for seven seasons, returned to the
Grey s world in the latest episode, reuniting his character with Leigh s Lexie Grey for the first time in nearly a decade.
If you remember, Mark perished in the season 9 premiere following the fatal plane crash that killed his love, Lexie, in the eighth season finale. In her final moments, she thought about the life they could have lived together had they not been in the plane crash. Though Mark hung around a little longer, he ultimately died from complications via injuries sustained in the crash.
During Thursday s episode, Meredith asks whether Mark and Lexie are still together in the afterlife. On your beach looks like we are, Mark says rather coyly. We ll take it?
