Heading into its 13th season, Grey’s Anatomy will be shining a light on domestic violence, exploring the repercussions of Alex (Justin Chambers) pummeling DeLuca (Giacomo Gianniotti), which was ultimately a miscommunication resulting from the reveal that Jo Wilson (Camilla Luddington) is married to an abusive man she ran away from.
At the close of season 12, Jo turned down Alex’s proposal, scared to confess that she couldn’t marry him because she was already wed. In truth, her name isn’t even Jo Wilson. Season 13 picks up in the aftermath, as Alex faces the consequences of his actions both at the hospital, but also in his relationship with Jo, whose backstory will finally unfurl this year.
