Cristina Yang: Outta Here! But When Exactly?
Ah, Cristina Yang. The cardio queen. The twist-a-screw-in-your-heart-with-a-smile kinda surgeon. We all know and love her unwavering dedication to her craft, her fierce loyalty (sometimes...ish), and her epic one-liners. But when it came to Seattle Grace Mercy West (let's not even try to keep up with all the name changes), Cristina eventually decided to trade in her scrubs for...well, probably designer scrubs in Switzerland.
The Big Move: Season 10
That's right, folks. Cristina Yang graces the halls of Grey Sloan Memorial (another name change, another story) for a whopping ten seasons before finally deciding to answer a different kind of call. This call involved running an entire hospital in Zurich, Switzerland. Talk about a power move!
But Why Did She Leave?
There wasn't one dramatic blowout or a fight with a McDreamy (although, there were a few of those sprinkled throughout the seasons). Cristina's exit was more about growth and seizing an incredible opportunity. She'd been putting in the work, the long hours, the blood, sweat, and (probably a lot of) tears, and this new position was the ultimate recognition of her talent and ambition.
A Tearful Goodbye (Well, Maybe Not THAT Tearful)
Let's be honest, Cristina wasn't one for mushy goodbyes. But she did share some heartfelt moments with her closest confidante, Meredith Grey (their "twisted sisters" bond forever etched in our hearts). There were reminiscing montages, maybe a stolen scalpel or two (just kidding...maybe), and a whole lot of "you're my person" declarations.
