After a solid seven seasons, Station 19 drew to a close with its 105th episode, the aptly titled “One Last Time.” As established in Station 19 season 7, episode 9, the series finale saw 19’s firefighters banding together against a fast-spreading wildfire that threatened the Seattle area. The natural disaster cropped up in the Grey’s Anatomy season 20 finale too, as Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital’s surgeons scrambled to help those impacted by smoke and fire damage. Given that Station 19 is a Grey’s Anatomy spin-off, the synergy between the shows was an exciting way to conclude Station 19.
Notably, Station 19’s backdoor pilot unfolded in Grey’s Anatomy season 14, episode 13. In the exciting installment, Dr. Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo) meets firefighter Andy Herrera (Jaina Lee Ortiz). Over the course of its 7-season run, Station 19 and Grey’s Anatomy’s crossover episodes changed the shows’ trajectories, especially where characters like Ben Warren (Jason George) and Dr. Miranda Bailey (Chandra Wilson) are concerned. One of Grey’s Anatomy’s best couples, Ben and Miranda make a huge decision and adopt the late firefighter Dean Miller’s daughter, Pru. Satisfyingly, that plot point comes full-circle in the Station 19 series finale.

Played by Janai Kaylani in Station 19 seasons 3–7, Pruitt Arike Miller-Warren is the daughter of two of the spin-off’s characters, Dean Miller (Okieriete Onaodowan) and JJ Lau (Brenda Song), who have a brief fling. After realizing she’s pregnant, JJ stays on Dean’s houseboat, which leads to her dramatic fire station labor scene. At nearly a week old, a young Pru still doesn’t have a name, with her biological parents arguing over how best to care for her. Ultimately, a few days into motherhood, JJ packs up and leaves the baby with Dean.

After Station 19’s Dean tragically dies, Andy takes Pru to Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital to be cared for by Ben, who had agreed to look after Pru if anything happened to Dean.

In Station 19’s flash forwards, it’s revealed that an adult Pru graduates from the Seattle fire academy and lands a job at Station 19 under the leadership of Captain Maya Bishop (Danielle Savre).
