‘Grey’s Anatomy’ Season 21 Episode 6, Recap: Mika and Chloe Car Accident
Mika (Midori Francis) was barely able to handle herself in the previous episode, “Night Moves,” as she worked hard to keep a patient alive. It was clear that she was determined and committed, but it was also clear that she was tired. She had trouble sleeping at night because she kept thinking about the worst things that could happen to her sister Chloe, who had just finished chemotherapy. Even though Jules (Adelaide Kane) liked Mika more and more, they couldn’t seem to get their priorities in line, even though there was a spark between them.
The scary cliffhanger at the end of the episode was that Mika fell asleep while driving Chloe home from the hospital while she was tired. When their van crashed, the lives of both sisters were in danger. Mika, the resident who works hard and cares about others, would she make it through?
‘Grey’s Anatomy’ Season 21, Episode 7 Recap: Mika’s Life Is in Danger
The tension rises as Episode 7, “If You Leave,” starts. The EMTs get Mika and Chloe out of the wreckage and rush them to Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital. When Simone (Alexandra Chando) and Blue (Niko Terho) notice that Mika isn’t in their shared living space, they start to worry. As this is happening, ambulances arrive and bring the two sisters to the emergency room.
Mika’s Critical Condition
The injuries Mika has are very bad. She has been hit in the stomach, and her liver has pushed into her chest, which is a very bad and life-threatening condition. Even though she is hurt, Mika is strong enough to make sure that Chloe, who is also hurt, gets help right away. Chloe’s legs are badly hurt, and the chemo she just finished makes her condition even worse.
Mika’s condition quickly gets worse in the operating room. As the surgeons talk about whether to remove her damaged liver completely, she starts to code. When Dr. Bailey (Chandra Wilson) steps in, she has a bold idea: she will stabilize Mika for a few hours before using her spleen in a complicated procedure to save her liver. It could be dangerous, but it could also be the only way to save her life.
The Operating Room: A Race Against Time
As Teddy (Kim Raver), Owen Hunt (Kevin McKidd), Miranda Bailey, and Winston talked about how to save Mika in the operating room, things got heated. It looked like her liver had to be taken out, but Bailey suggested a risky alternative: using Mika’s spleen to temporarily support her damaged liver. The team didn’t want to agree, but they knew it was Mika’s only chance.
A lot of Mika’s friends and coworkers are really upset about her illness. After getting to know Mika better, Jules feels bad that she let her take on too much. Simone tries to comfort Jules, who sobs as she says that her connection with Mika is stronger than any other she’s felt before. Lucas, who is shocked to see Mika on the operating table, throws up in the hallway, a stark reminder of how important things are.
Chloe’s Fight
Chloe’s injuries are just as scary. One of her legs might have to be cut off. While Mika’s surgery is going on, someone else is working hard to save Chloe’s leg. Against all odds, they are able to stabilize her condition and keep her limb for now. But it will take a long time and be hard for her to get better.
Mika’s Fate
At the end of the episode, Mika is still alive but in very bad shape. The team’s amazing work has given her a fighting chance, but she is still unconscious. Jules sits by Mika’s bedside and holds her hand. He won’t leave and says he will always be there for her. The team is motivated by Bailey’s drive. She tells the people who live there that Mika’s stability is a good sign. The doctors say, though, that the next 24 hours will be very important.
Other Developments
While the drama is going on, other stories are being told. As Levi gets ready to move to Texas, he struggles with the fact that he will have to leave his life at Grey Sloan behind. When Jo (Camilla Luddington) tells Link (Chris Carmack) that she is afraid of being left alone, their relationship faces new problems. And Teddy and Owen’s marriage keeps falling apart. After Cass’s shocking kiss, Teddy tries to make up with Owen, but Owen is as stubborn as ever.
Is Mika Dead or Alive?
Mika is still alive for now, but her health is still very bad. Even though the surgery went well, the next few days will tell us if she fully recovers. Fans will have to wait to find out if Mika’s strength and the unwavering support of her friends, family, and coworkers will get her through this.
Grey’s Anatomy shows once more why it’s still a hit on prime time: it makes you feel a lot and puts lives in danger. What will happen next with Mika, Chloe, and the rest of the Grey Sloan family? Watch the next episode to find out.
