A shocking death, a hot new hookup and one doctor's career on the line? We could only be talking about Grey's Anatomy. Star Sarah Drew tells us all about what leads April to make some uncharacteristic moves and what to expect from the "super dramatic" and "intense" season finale...

Holy hot hookup, Batman! If you've been living under a rock you might have missed that a steaming hookup between April and Jackson (Jesse Williams) is imminent. So what pushed these friends towards the bedroom? "April goes through some pretty dramatic things, starting with being completely stressed out about failing," Drew explains. "I think she is just jumping out of her skin." And apparently out of her clothes, but does this mean April loses her V-card to Jackson? "They definitely hookup but I can't tell you if he loses her virginity or not."

We all know April isn't the most laid-back of characters but Drew puts it more bluntly: "She's a basket case. She's on a totally emotional rollercoaster knowing that one out of five people fail the exam." But this stress might actually lead to some good changes for April. "We really get to see a pretty cool transformation in her that I think that some people with love and some people are not going to love," says Drew. Maybe April does have reason to worry about passing the board exams: "Yes, there is one person who does fail. And that creates a lot of drama amongst all the residents." What is Grey's Anatomy without drama?

Speaking of crazy drama, it's season finale time and creator Shonda Rhimes know how to bring the tears out like flood waters. This year will be no exception. "We know somebody dies. It's really really intense. Everyone bawled their way through the table read for the finale," Drew dishes. "It's huge, it's big, it's sad, and it's intense. And it's left really unsettled. Everything is up in the air at the end of the finale." Sounds like a shocking Grey's cliffhanger if we've ever heard one.

Are you nervous for the Grey's Anatomy season finale? Can't wait to see an April-Jackson hookup? Who do you think will fail the boards and most importantly who will die?! Hit the comments!
