Watch: Chyler Leigh Talks McDreamy's "Grey's Anatomy" Exit

Leave it to one Grey's Anatomy deceased character to make us feel better about another one.

We still get tears when we think about the traumatic, gut wrenching way the ABC long-running medical drama killed off star-crossed loves Lexie Grey (Chyler Leigh) and Marc "McSteamy" Sloan (Eric Dane) before they could reunite for real. Can we ban every single TV character from going on a plane...ever? Thanks.

So when E! News caught up with Leigh to talk about her new CBS series Supergirl so soon after Derek "McDreamy" Shepherd's (Patrick Dempsey) death on Grey's Anatomy, we had to get her take on the heartbreaking death.

And we're so glad we did, because her theory on what McDreamy, McSteamy and Lexie are up to now is making us cry...but this time, it's with all of the happy tears!

Press play on the exclusive video above to find out where these three fan-favorite characters are now, whether Leigh knew about the death before it happened and more!

The Grey's Anatomy season 11 finale airs tonight at 8 p.m. on ABC.
