Let’s talk about the future of Grey’s Anatomy’s latest married couple

by

Link and Jo have been a debated duo on the hit show “Grey’s Anatomy” since their inception, not because they have any major issues as a couple. Instead, it’s their strong bond that stems from their long-standing friendship that has drawn attention. They initially met in high school and later found themselves working together at Grey Sloan Memorial. In fact, several viewers admired their close friendship right from the start.

Due to the Season 21 finale last week, there are numerous uncertainties about the future of Link and Jo as a couple and parents. This is not because they might be headed for a split, but instead, one of their lives could potentially be at risk – if the fire that occurred at the end of the episode isn’t just a distraction or misdirection.

Fans have grown to disapprove of the pairing between Jo and Link due to how their friendship was initially depicted when Link entered the series, resembling the strong yet platonic bond between Alex Karev and Meredith Grey. However, as Link moved on from other characters, a romantic relationship between Jo and Link emerged unexpectedly, something neither of them had anticipated.

Jo’s unexpected pregnancy took their relationship to a more profound yet somewhat intricate phase, strengthening their affection for each other and resulting in what I consider one of the most heartwarming proposal scenes on the show thus far. (I have a soft spot for quiet, personal, and understated proposals, but my bias might be showing.) Their marriage occurred unexpectedly due to a sudden availability of an ideal venue, yet it seems everything fell into place perfectly. In my opinion, it ranks among the best weddings on Grey’s Anatomy in recent memory, although Meredith and Derek’s Post-It Note wedding remains unmatched.

The series seems to be implying that Link was the one who caught fire in the final scene of the finale, an assumption they might fulfill come September. It’s not unthinkable for the show to follow through on such a hint. Even on Grey’s Anatomy, couples who seem to have found their happy ending don’t always enjoy a lifetime of bliss… or even survival. Jo and Link’s relationship so far has been a touch too idealistic, raising suspicions about its longevity. Whenever the storyline becomes overly idyllic, I find myself doubting whether such harmony can endure, not just in terms of Teddy and Owen’s breakup, but also for other characters as well. With Jo expecting twins and Link being ecstatic, this is a classic Grey’s Anatomy setup for something catastrophic to happen.

There’s a possibility he might have sustained severe injuries or even worse, but it could also be just minor wounds or no injuries at all – we can’t rule out the chance that the incident took place in another part of the building altogether. It’s happened before where things were misleading intentionally. We hope nothing changes between Jo and Link, yet we must accept that this is a medical series, and characters don’t always remain for long or stay together throughout the seasons.

From a cinephile’s perspective, I can’t help but feel that Jo shouldn’t have to endure another hardship right now. She’s already grappled with the despicable actions of one ex, who she had to decide whether to let live or not, and was left by another without any rhyme or reason. Yet, it seems like every character on this show faces their darkest moments eventually. Could this be Jo’s turn again? Or perhaps we’re all just reading too much into things, and everything will turn out alright in the end. At the moment, I can’t predict what lies ahead for her.
