It's the moment we've been waiting for: the Grey's Anatomy residents are taking their medical boards this Thursday, and we'll finally get to see how each of the docs handled it. By the looks of the sneak peek below, Jackson (Jesse Williams) is just as nerve-wracked as the rest of them. Why? Well, he did just sleep with his best friend, and then learn that his mentor and his mother hooked up. TVGuide.com turned to Williams to get the scoop on the medical boards, the future for April (Sarah Drew) and Jackson — and Jesus, apparently — and how Jackson will handle a possible Slexie reunion...

It's the question on the mind of every Grey's Anatomy fan: Who will be sticking around Seattle Grace next season?
With several of the actors' contracts up at the end of the season — and creator Shonda Rhimes putting the finishing touches on the finale script as we speak — fans are waiting with bated breath to find out which of their favorite doctors will be returning for Season 9. While there's no official word yet on who will be back, we decided to toss out a few ideas of our own as to how Meredith, Cristina and the rest of the gang could leave. Even though not everyone's contracts are up, we came up with a crazy-but-plausible scenario for everyone — and because some of our favorite couples could get split up, we've added a few scenarios in which one half stays and the other goes. Enjoy!

Fact: The midseason finale of Grey's Anatomy will make you bawl your eyes out.
At the end of last week's episode, Teddy (Kim Raver) came home to find husband Henry (Scott Foley) coughing up blood. His trip to Seattle Grace won't be the only heart-stopping moment in the midseason finale, though. As we know from the episode description, Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) and Derek's (Patrick Dempsey) custody issues come to a head, Callie (Sara Ramirez) and Jackson (Jesse Williams) are blamed for a patient's post-op complications and Alex (Justin Chambers) and Meredith land in a dangerous situation.
While we're sworn to secrecy from revealing, well, pretty much anything, we've decided to lighten the mood with a pretty tough guessing game...

Is there a chance that Lexie and Mark will reunite on Grey's Anatomy? —Jessica
NATALIE: Mark still clearly cares about Lexie, which won't go unnoticed by Jackson's mother (Debbie Allen), who makes an appearance in this week Grey's. "Jackson is dealing with that in a mature way, being aware of it, but not being obsessed with it," Jesse Williams says. "Jackson is learning that he can't control everything."
