I am a passionate jolex shipper, but this is about so much more than just jolex being ruined. This was just bad writing. This was a total disgrace of Alex Karev as a character and his growth throughout the show, Jo Wilson and her journey on the show which was already so full of pain that she just deserved more than this, and Jo and Alex and their development as a couple. Jo deserved so much more than one crappy letter in which she is called less than enough, in which a person she loves the most in this world just sends her divorce papers (after marrying her just few episodes before like wtf), saying he loves her, just not enough because he loves someone else too (his ex out of everyone) and because that someone is giving him something she hasn’t yet. She just deserves better, and that is fact whether you like her and jolex, as a human being she deserved to be treated better. But, Alex? Alex is such complex character and he has grown and developed so damn much throughout this 16 years that no one can tell me that this makes sense for him as a character. He would never do this, especially not like this, over fucking letters. If he found out he has kids somewhere, he would not react like this. He would love them immediately, yes, and he would be a part of their life, yes. But, not like this, never like this. He would be pissed at izzie for not telling him, for taking those 5 years with his kids away. He would not cheat on jo, lied to her and basically started a new life behind her back, not facing her, but just writting her a letter telling her how much happier he is now with izzie. He would not just abandon meredith with a letter, his job he always fought for, his friends who are his family, meredith’s children and everyone. That’s just out of character for him, and that’s it. He wouldn’t just disappeared from the lives of everyone he ever cared about for izzie, who treated him like shit. And that comes from a former izzex shipper. In early greys years, I liked them together, but then they made her divorce him practically behind his back, leaving him with no real explanation and with tons of her medical bills. So when you tell me that he, who was pissed and heartbroken about how she did it to him, now did the exact same thing to jo? Not a chance. Also, even as izzex shipper I always saw that she loved izzie more than she loved him because izzie was always written as she loved denny more, as he was her soulmate. And jolex? Their love was equal. And it’s not just that it doesn’t make sense because of his charcater, it doesn’t make sense storywise either because just one episode before he left he married jo, just one episode before all of this he promised her forever. So, why did they do that just so they could pissed on it like this? It makes no sense. But, it also makes no sense that he would to this to someone he loves as much he said, even in the letter, he loves jo. You can’t just turn yourself like that, with not even facing that person, you can’t just divorce her behind her back, as a human being, and especially alex because of his character. So, saying again, this episode was just one big disgrace of alex’s character, slap and insult to not just jolex shippers, but everyone who loved alex karev and his development. I know something probably happened behind the scenes so they didn’t have much time, but this was the worst possible ending they could’ve given him and us after everything.
