I always get very emotional when I watch Lexie's death, no matter how many times I've seen it already. That music when she dies just breaks my heart, and Eric Dane gives an awesome performance there! Chyler too, for how far playing that you're being crushed by a piece of plane goes. It was so sudden, unlike Mark. I mean, it was leaked in summer that Eric would leave the show, and then the photo Patrick tweeted of Eric in the hospital bed, so when it was already clear in 9.01 where Mark was. His exit was beautifully done though, I enjoyed the flashbacks (despite the fact that the years weren't exactly right) and the others waiting outside the room while Sara and Patrick gave a great performance was nice too. Luckily, it was nice he still woke up 9.02, so we had really the time to process his loss throughout the episode.
