Day 29 of the aftermath of Wilson v. Karev and Stevens was an extraordinary celebration for Jo Wilson. Two days had passed since her groundbreaking interview on Good Morning America, where she had laid out her side of the story with poise, honesty, and a firm grasp of the truth. The world had listened—and overwhelmingly taken her side.

Across the media landscape, Jo's name was trending everywhere. Hashtags like #TeamJo, #JusticeForJo, and #JoWilsonWins dominated social media platforms. Clips from her GMA interview were reshared by major news outlets, podcasts, and fans, while Alex Karev's clumsy attempt to counter her narrative had only backfired, leaving him as the butt of jokes across the internet.

In Jo's Seattle apartment, she finally allowed herself a moment to relax. She sipped a glass of wine while scrolling through her phone, where congratulatory messages flooded her inbox. Meredith Grey had texted her: "Proud of you, Jo. You spoke your truth beautifully." Miranda Bailey had sent a simple but heartfelt note: "Courage is your middle name. We're all behind you."

Jo turned on the TV, where the Today show was dissecting the fallout of Alex's disastrous interview with Savannah Guthrie. The segment ended with the hosts praising Jo for her bravery and integrity. A small smile crept onto her face as she leaned back against her couch.

Her phone buzzed again, this time with notifications about podcasts discussing her case. Curious, Jo played the latest episode of The Kardasim Podcast, where Kourtney, Kim, and Khloé Kardasim dissected the trial with their signature blend of humor and sass.

"So, is the Jo Wilson and Alex Karev court saga," Kim began, "so watermelon or so not watermelon?"

Khloé snorted. "Alex Karev? So not watermelon. The dude couldn't tell the truth if it was written on his forehead."

Kourtney, ever deadpan, added, "Jo, on the other hand? Totally watermelon. She destroyed him in court and then did it again on Good Morning America."

Kim nodded. "Jo Wilson is an icon. Alex is giving major stupid bitch energy."

The soundbite of Khloé calling Alex a "stupid bitch" echoed across social media, turning into a viral meme. Jo couldn't help but laugh. The validation was overwhelming, and it felt like the world had finally seen her for who she truly was.

Next, she clicked on an episode of The Viall Files, where Nick Viall was discussing the case with his guest.

"Jo Wilson is a class act," Nick said. "Her interview was everything we needed to hear—honest, vulnerable, and totally unshakable. Alex Karev, on the other hand? His interview was a train wreck. It was so bad, I almost felt secondhand embarrassment."

Jo shook her head, smiling as she took another sip of wine. It seemed like every corner of the media world was rallying around her.

Later that evening, Jo decided to celebrate her victory quietly with a few close friends. Meredith, Bailey, and Link joined her at her apartment, bringing champagne and takeout. The mood was light, and for the first time in weeks, Jo felt the weight of the trial lifting.

"You deserve this, Jo," Meredith said, raising her glass in a toast. "To truth, resilience, and not letting anyone dim your light."

"To Jo," Bailey added, clinking glasses with the others.

As the night went on, there was a knock at the door. When Jo opened it, she found Annalise Keating standing there, a rare smile on her face.

"Annalise," Jo said, surprised but pleased. "What are you doing here?"

Annalise stepped inside, holding a bottle of whiskey. "I heard there was a victory party. Thought I'd join in."

Jo laughed and hugged her. "You're part of the reason I'm standing here right now. Thank you for everything."

Annalise raised her glass once they poured the whiskey. "To winning. And to making sure the truth always prevails."

Just as the group settled back into their conversation, Jo's phone buzzed. She glanced at the screen, her eyes widening slightly. "It's Nick Viall."

Meredith raised an eyebrow. "The Viall Files guy?"

Jo nodded and answered the call, putting it on speaker. "Hi, Nick. This is Jo."

Nick's voice came through, warm and enthusiastic. "Jo! I just wanted to say, your GMA interview was phenomenal. You've inspired so many people, and I'd love to have you on The Viall Files to talk more about your journey."

Jo smiled, her friends watching her expectantly. "I'd be honored. When were you thinking?"

Nick chuckled. "As soon as you're available. My audience can't get enough of you."

Jo glanced at her friends, who nodded encouragingly. "Let's do it," she said. "I'm ready."

After the call ended, the group erupted into cheers. The world was finally hearing Jo's story, and she was using her platform to inspire others to stand up for themselves.

That night, as Jo sat on her balcony overlooking the city, she felt a sense of peace she hadn't known in years. The journey had been grueling, but she had come out stronger, surrounded by people who believed in her. For the first time in a long time, Jo Wilson felt truly free.
