Lexie wasn’t the only fan-fave on the beach during the April 1 episode. The one and only Mark Sloan returned and gave us an epic Mark/Lexie moment.
Meredith is still on the beach, and she continues to see faces from her past. After playing in the ocean, Lexie hands her a towel. Lexie asks her if she’s going to stay on the beach. Meredith’s still not sure. Everything is so easy here.
