Dr. Benson Kwan was unexpectedly fired by Dr. Richard Webber in the penultimate episode of Grey’s Anatomy on April 30, 2026. This decision adds significant tension before the Season 22 finale.
Kwan’s dismissal stems from administering an experimental treatment that lacked FDA approval. This action occurred during an effort to save a patient’s life.
As of midday Wednesday, Dr. Miranda Bailey attempted to cover for Kwan during an Institutional Review Board investigation. She initially claimed responsibility for his unauthorized procedure.
The episode aired just days before the highly anticipated Season 22 finale, which is set for May 7, 2026. Kevin McKidd and Kim Raver are also leaving the show after this season, adding to the uncertainty surrounding character fates.
Key facts surrounding Kwan’s firing:
- Kwan was confronted by Webber, who said, “I know it was Kwan. You lied to me… You’re benched from surgery until further notice.”
- Webber made it clear that Kwan’s actions led to his immediate termination.
- The firing is part of a broader shakeup at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital.
Kwan’s future on the show remains unclear following this incident. The storyline implications are still unfolding, leaving fans eager for answers.
