Ahead of part 1 of the drama’s 2-part series finale airing May 23, fans got to see the cast pay tribute to all the memories they shared while working on Station 19. In a clip posted on Instagram on May 17, Jaina Lee Ortiz, Boris Kodjoe, Jason George, Barrett Doss, Jay Hayden and more reflected on the camaraderie they built while filming the Grey’s Anatomy spinoff. The actors got emotional and even teared up watching behind-the-scenes snippets.
“As this season comes to a close, take a look back with us at what made nineteen, nineteen. ❤️,” read the caption. “Watch the #Station19 two-part series finale starting Thursday on ABC. Stream on Hulu.”

“It came as a shock. We weren’t told why … there wasn’t any reason behind it, so everyone was left pretty confused and heartbroken,” she said at the time. “I like to sit into what we’ve had and not let the sadness take over.”
As far as what’s to come on Station 19, the final episode is titled “One Last Time” and will air on Thursday, May 30 at 10 p.m. ET.
