Episode 5 of Station 19 is centered around Vic confronting Dean about his plans to move to Oakland and continue his Crisis One program. She tries to coax him to stay in Seattle, but he tells Vic that he needs to go. While en route to a gas line explosion site, Dean actually asks Vic to come with Oakland. However, she explains to Dean that she can't go and wishes he could stay.
Once they get to the site, Vic deals with the blaze but ends up getting electrocuted by a live wire. Dean climbs up the ladder to save her, and once Vic regains consciousness, she is sent to Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital. In Episode 5 of Grey's Anatomy, fans can see that she's doing well when she first shows up at the hospital. Unfortunately, after learning that Dean died from his severe injuries in the explosion, she goes into V-fib.

There's haven't been any announcements or a statement from Barrett or the network about her exiting the series. Furthermore, in an interview with ET, the actress disclosed the future of Vic and her love interest, Lieutenant Theo Ruiz (Carlos Miranda). Barrett said she is quite optimistic about their relationship. She shared, "There's still so much to explore and that relationship and the consequences of that relationship with Travis' best friend. There's a lot of love stories to tell here."
