Inepisode 18, Give a Little Bit, DeLuca discovered that one of his patients was a victim of human trafficking, but fearing for his wellbeing, none of his colleagues listened to him.

The original plan for the show was to go back to this plot during the final episodes of the series, but that was put on pause.

Instead, they managed to finish filming the season in station 19, Andrew's sister Carina DeLuca (Stefania Spampinato), appeared in the most recent spin-off episode and told Maya Bishop the bad news.

Showrunner Kristia Vernoff, who is the boss of both shows, previously suggested that Andrew's cut storyline for Grey's Anatomyseason 16, could still take place in the next series.

She explained: "We had an episode where [the girl] comes back, and I am really sad that we can't air that episode this season because it felt important to offer that kind of hope to people who are living that experience."

The 48-year-old added: "I may still complete that story next season."
