Mark's Loan transforms from an arrogant womanizer into 36 00:02:25,794 --> 00:02:29,554 Speaker 1: one of the series' most unexpected tender hearts, a devoted 37 00:02:29,594 --> 00:02:33,154 Speaker 1: father to Sophia, a fiercely loyal friend to Callie Torres, 38 00:02:33,514 --> 00:02:36,954 Speaker 1: and a man capable of deep, imperfect love.

When writing Lexi 48 00:03:07,194 --> 00:03:09,793 Speaker 1: his departure, she explained that the plane crash was going 49 00:03:09,794 --> 00:03:13,194 Speaker 1: to happen regardless, and she wanted Lexi's exit to matter 50 00:03:13,554 --> 00:03:16,674 Speaker 1: ideally with Mark by her side, giving their love story 51 00:03:16,714 --> 00:03:21,354 Speaker 1: a final meaningful connection.
