We hate to burst your bubble but Eric Danesays that young Cal's love interest is not Derek Shepherd.

Inthe latest episode ofEuphoria, which aired Sunday, Jan. 24, viewers were taken back to see Cal (Elias Kacavas') high school days and be introduced to his best friend, Derek (Henry Elkenberry). The flashback shows the teens embark on their first romantic relationships with women before taking a trip to a gay bar, where they share an intimate kiss. Any hopes for a relationship are shattered when Cal finds out his girlfriend Marcia is pregnant.

Grey's Anatomy fans were quick to speculate if Derek was a callback to Eric's roleopposite Patrick Dempseyin the Shonda Rhimesseries. After all, Patrick's character was named Derek Shepherd.

But in an exclusive interview withE! News, Eric saidit was "purely coincidence" that show writerSam Levinsonchose that specific name for young Cal's love interest. So don't expect aGrey's Anatomy andEuphoria crossover event anytime soon.
