‘Grey’s Anatomy’ Teases a New Romance for Schmitt
(Warning: This post contains spoilers for Grey’s Anatomy Season 20, Episode 2.)
If there’s anyone at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital who deserves a new, sexy love interest, it’s one Dr. Levi Schmitt (Jake Borelli). His ex, the ortho god Dr. Nico Kim (Alex Landi), might’ve been brutally handsome, but emotionally, he was also just... brutal. There was that travel nurse, Carlos Garcia (Calvin Seabrooks), but he was just a hook-up. How long, I’ve wondered, would we have to wait until Levi gets another viable romance? This week, we might’ve gotten our answer. At least, I hope Dante the Baker will stick around for a while, because he is hot, hot, hot.
This week, Miranda Bailey’s (Chandra Wilson) take-over of the intern program is complete. She’s barred the unruly interns from performing surgery until they complete procedure logs full of scut work—which, she says, will prove they are ready to get back in the O.R. As she put it to the crestfallen newbies, “Your days as surgical cowboys are over.” Still, that did not impede them from witnessing some true medical mysteries and miracles. First, there was a John Doe who got shot multiple times for reasons unknown with wads of cash taped around his ankles. Then, an entire family flooded into the pit with injuries from an ill-fated reunion softball game. And then, there was Dante—a charming baker whose gallbladder infection led to a much more emotional diagnosis.
