The ABC medical drama, which has been set at Seattle Grace since the show's first season, will split its time between two locations in Season 9.
The harrowing and tragic season finale saw the Stranded Six — Meredith, Derek, Cristina, Mark, Arizona and Lexie — crash-land in the mountains, with Lexie subsequently succumbing to her injuries. (Apparently, she might not be the only one to die since Eric Dane is also exiting the series sometime next season). Even though there seemed to be no hope on the horizon in the closing moments of the finale, the doctors will eventually get rescued since the Season 9 premiere will jump ahead two to three months, executive producer Shonda Rhimes tells TVGuide.com. But that doesn't mean we won't see what transpired in those mountains. Get the scoop from Rhimes below, including Derek's new troubles, Bailey's wedding (!) and Calzona's fate:
