The departure of Dr. Derek Shepherd continues to affect Grey's Anatomy years after his character's death.
The long-running medical drama lost one of its central figures when Derek died following a truck accident in season 11. The show had built much of its early success around the relationship between Derek and Meredith Grey, including their Post-it note vows in season 5 and family life with their children.
The season 22 finale of Grey's Anatomy wrapped up major storylines with emotional goodbyes and a surprising twist. Viewers saw Owen and Teddy depart while Meredith and Nick took a big step forward. Amelia's storyline ended on a cliffhanger involving Cass.
