Grey's Anatomy

Thursdays 8:00 PM on ABC

A surgical resident from Mercy West Hospital, Jackson Avery is also called "pretty boy," especially by Cristina Yang.

He is a grandson of the famous surgeon, Dr. Harper Avery. He develops a crush on Cristina, and while inebriated he kisses her at a party, but Cristina breaks the kiss.

In the 6th season finale, he is told by Dr. Shepherd that there is a lockdown in the hospital and is later left by Dr. Hunt and Dr. Altman in the OR with 2 nurses and 1 anesthesiologist.

He is the one who decides that Yang should operate on Shepherd in order to save him. When Mr. Clark (the shooter) takes the OR hostage, he disconnects Shepherd in order to make everyone believe that he is dead until Mr. Clark leaves the room.

It is also revealed later in season 7 that Avery suffers from traumatic nightmares.

All the boys and all the bars and all the obvious daddy issues, who cares? I was done. You left me. You chose Addison. I'm all glued back together now. I make no apologies for how I chose to repair what you broke. You don't get to call me a whore."

Meredith: You're better than this. You're stronger.
Amelia: Don't make this all your fault. I know you. That's what you do. But, please. Please don't do that.
Maggie: We can't just give up, not after all this time. We have to stand together. We have to fight.
Meredith: Because it's just us now. There were five of us, and now it's just you and I. And it can't be just me. It can't be. I will go down swinging for you, Alex. You know I will. But that means you can't give up. You don't throw the fight. So, whatever you're doing this for... please don't.
