One of them is finally joining his mother’s family-owned foundation, the Catherine Fox Foundation. But he has to move from Seattle, where the fictional Gray Sloan Memorial Hospital is located, to Boston, which he is now tackling.
But first he has to face another, much more important task: He finally has to take responsibility for his now three-year-old daughter Harriet, whom he and his ex Dr. April Kepner (Sarah Drew, 40) has. He had separated from her, whereupon this Matthew Taylor (Justin Bruening, 41) said yes.
Still, his plan is to take April and Harriet with him to Boston. When he tries to persuade his former great love to come to Boston along with their family – including Matthew – so that he can be a good father to his daughter – in contrast to his father, whom he blames for his fears of commitment – April reveals to him that she broke up with Matthew a long time ago.
