History[]

Hospital Bomb Scare[]

During the bomb scare at Seattle Grace, Dylan was the head member of the bomb squad who came in to figure out how to get the shell out of James Carlson without killing anyone. While they were making plans, Hannah decided to pull her hand out and Meredith replaced it with her own hand. ("It's the End of the World")

They developed a plan to get the bomb out so they could operate on James. Just as they were about to implement it, Richard Webber informed Dylan that they were over the main oxygen line for the hospital, so Dylan shared the news with Burke. They then had to move the gurney to another OR very slowly. Once they were ready to start, Meredith started to panic and tried to get everyone else to leave the OR, thinking they'd blow up. Dylan then helped Meredith calm her nerves. Once he calmed her down, and she was able to take the bomb out of the patient, she handed it to Dylan. On his way out the door, the bomb exploded, killing him. ("As We Know It")

Posthumous History[]

Meredith's Near-Death Experience[]

When Meredith "died" after a fall into Elliott Bay, she woke up in "the afterlife" and saw Dylan and Denny Duquette, Jr.. ("Drowning on Dry Land")

Dylan wanted to tell it to Meredith straight, but Denny wanted to give her time, which caused them to bicker. They both repeatedly asked Meredith what had happened, becoming frustrated when she kept saying that she drowned. When she finally admitted that she'd stopped fighting to live, they worried she might be out of time. ("Some Kind of Miracle")

Career[]

Dylan was a leading member of the Seattle Police Department Bomb Squad until his death. He died in the act of performing his duties.

Notes and Trivia[]

• In both

In its early days, Grey's Anatomy had so many guest stars that make first time viewers on Netflix go, "Hey! I know that guy!" Similar to Law and Order: SVU, Grey's Anatomy is a procedural show many actors get their start on. But there was one guest star in its second season who was already quite famous, and his very short stint on the series made Shonda Rhimes want to keep him on longer.

One of the most iconic episodes of Grey's Anatomy is Season 2, Episode 17, "As We Know It," but a lot of fans simply refer to it as the "bomb in the body cavity episode." The episode premiered in 2006 following Super Bowl XL as the second half of a two-part story, the first being "It's the End of the World." Although the first season of Grey's Anatomy was a smashing success in the medical procedural genre, Season 2's two-part event really put the series on the map as an intense drama where just about anything can become a medical emergency. The episode's reputation was further elevated by two high-profile guest stars of the 2000s, Christina Ricci and Kyle Chandler. Sadly, Chandler's character never got to see the outside of Seattle Grace Memorial Hospital again when he was blown up by the homemade bazooka.
