Grey's Anatomy s06e16 Episode Script

[Meredith.]
Surgeons are detail-oriented.
We like statistics and checklists and operating procedures.
Our patients live because we enjoy following the steps.
But as much as we'd love to always rely on the numbers, the plan, we also know that some of the greatest medical discoveries have happened by accident.
- Karev, you still need a lift? - Oh, my God! - What are you doing?! Get out! - Uh - Why are you naked? - I should go.
Oh, God No, please, don't be mad.
Derek was supposed to be Alex.
OK, well, Alex left ten minutes ago.
- Since when are you two still? - Since you caught us the first time.
Mm-hm.
Lexie, this is Alex we're talking about.
Emotionally, he's like me three years ago.
You can't be having feelings for him.
You realize that? Of course not.
No, it's just sex.
There's no feelings involved.
Right, because you are a no-feelings type of girl.
- Your heart lives in your vagina.
- It does not.
I swear.
It's - Not this time.
- OK.
Sure.
My heart does not live in my vagina! [Sighs.]
- [Meredith.]
Mold, penicillin.
- [Helicopter rotors whirring.]
Poisonous tree bark, a cure for malaria.
A little blue pill for high blood pressure, impotence be damned.
- [People chuckling.]
- What's going on? Huh? - Oh, my God! - Dude! Why is this my morning? [Cristina.]
So I flip the patient into Trendelenburg, - Teddy yanks out the arterial cannula, - [pager beeping.]
Connects the arterial line to a venous line, and then sets up retrograde cerebral perfusion.
I mean, she was on fire, I was on fire, the whole OR was on fire.
What? Nothing, nothing.
Just you two are You two are friends now.
Yeah.
Hey, you know you can be her friend, too.
I never asked you not to be.
You decided that all on your own.
So be her friend.
[Meredith.]
It's hard for us to accept that it's not always the hard work - Thank you.
or attention to detail that'll get us the answers we're looking for.
Dr.
Hunt! I I just paged you.
There's a trauma on the way.
Here it is.
We got a 41 -year-old motorcycle daredevil with a closed head wound, penetrating neck wound and multiple blunt trauma.
- What was the dare? - Riding without a helmet, apparently.
He's still got some brainwaves left, but barely.
That sometimes we just have to sit back, relax and wait for the happy accident.
- Oh, my God! - That isn't gonna help.
- I'm on Trauma.
This one's mine.
- I touched him first.
Gary from legal.
I need a statement from one of you about that fall.
- You two decide.
- You're not even wearing scrubs.
- Damn it! This is not over.
- Have fun with Gary from legal.
[Owen.]
OK.
One, two, three.
Teddy, hey, I have an old patient up in oncology, and I know you're really busy with surgeries and staring at Owen Hunt.
- What? - I've tried to ignore it, the staring, but since Christmas with the guitar and singing and stolen looks.
Well, I noticed it and I can't un-notice it.
It's just, I kind of Well, I like to fix things.
People.
I like to fix people.
- Oh, no.
Dr.
Hunt and I - Don't.
'Cause then you're just lying, and that's no good.
My point is, you're staring and you're sad and I think you need friends that aren't Owen.
That's where I come in, with the fixing.
You're going to be friends with me.
- I am? - Yeah.
I'm an awesome friend.
So tonight you come out with Callie and me.
Girls night.
Oh Ooh.
Maybe Bailey'll come, too.
Huh.
- Say yes to girls night.
- Yes to girls night.
- Yay! - Oh, yay.
Problem solved.
Now, for my patient, Elliot Meyer.
- He needs a lung transplant.
- Oh, hey! Uh, I'm down with a lung transplant.
Oh.
No, you slept with my girlfriend and I find that when I look at you, - I want to hit you with a brick.
- That was, like, years ago.
[Giggling.]
Maybe.
But jealousy is a green-eyed monster, and, if you ask any one of my kids, there's no reasoning with a monster.
Dude, run away before I find a brick.
As my new friend, don't judge me for that.
So, my patient I get it, you're upset Little Sloan is gone.
But screwing drug reps is not gonna make you feel better.
Yeah, it is.
No screwing drug reps in my hospital.
Are we clear? You were much more fun when you weren't chief.
[Derek.]
Get out of here.
- Ah, Dr.
Webber, welcome back.
- [Cell phone rings.]
- Thank you, Dr.
Sloan.
- Richard, how's your first day back? Oh, well, so far so good.
- I had to drop this off.
- I'm sorry you have to do this.
Drug testing is part of the rehab program.
- Just run it under a John Doe.
- Of course.
Whatever you need today.
And I mean that.
A low stress day, let's start there.
Routine surgeries, a light schedule, home by five.
Done.
Yeah, I said that.
She slipped.
The only person liable here is you for keeping me from my surgery.
[Man.]
Call my driver and tell him there's still time to make my flight - if he comes straight here.
- You passed out in a restaurant and you have abdominal pain.
You're not getting on a plane.
The pain's gone.
Whatever's caused it can wait till I get home.
- Let me off of this thing.
- We're done here, right? Sir, I need you to move to this gurney.
- I've got this.
You're not in scrubs.
- You need to stay calm - so I can do a proper examination.
- Tell this lady to back off, Jackie.
- Jackie? - Whatever.
That's not Look, I already paged Bailey.
He's not cardio.
- You can lose interest.
- We'll see about that.
Sir, I'm a surgeon.
A very good one.
So is my grandson.
So why don't you take your hands off me.
- He's your grandfather? - I can handle this - till Bailey gets here.
- No, you're not allowed to treat family.
He has mid-epigastric tenderness and guarding.
- It could be ascending cholangitis.
- Ascending cholangitis? Really? With only one of the symptoms of Charcot's triad? - You're a doctor? - Apparently a much better one than you.
Dr.
Harper Avery.
And your name, doctor? - Harper Avery? - Uh, no, that's my name.
- As in the Harper Avery Award? - Bingo.
Get a new surgeon, Jackie.
One with a pulse this time.
You're Harper Avery's grandson? I misdiagnosed Harper Avery.
In front of Harper Avery.
Know what that does to my chances of one day winning a Harper Avery? He could die before then.
He could die today even.
I need to operate on my motorcycle daredevil and I'll be fine.
Is it true Harper Avery's here? So Derek walked in on her naked this morning in Alex's bed.
Meredith! God! I'm just cheering her up.
She's having a bad day.
Be generous.
You know what? You can't be having feelings for Karev.
- He's like Meredith three years ago.
- I said that.
- I don't have feelings for Alex.
- You do.
Your heart's in your vagina.
- I said that! - You are both monsters.
[Yang makes ominous sound.]
Yang, I heard you met Harper Avery.
Did you know that Pretty Boy's grandfather was God? I didn't know.
That's kinda cool, though.
No, it's not cool.
He's an entitled brat with no skills, - except a really good bloodline.
- It is not Jackson's fault - that he's related to Harper Avery.
- Whatever, Ellis Grey's daughter.
- Huh? - How do I look? - Chiefly? - What, are you nervous? He's one of the most powerful surgeons in the country.
He's just a guy who happens to have an award named after him.
Whatever, Ellis Grey's daughter.
Admit it, you wanna meet him, too.
Hell, yeah.
Hey.
Where are we on him? On his way to the OR and he started bleeding out.
- Wanna give us a hand here, Yang? - Oh.
Big boy needs a little help.
No problem.
Watch and learn.
Clamp.
- This is why I don't want you to drive! - I had to get my medication! - The store was gonna close! - I'm sorry, can we not yell, maybe? No, actually.
My mother's almost completely deaf, a fact she refuses to accept, which is why she won't learn sign language or get a hearing aid.
So we yell.
- Don't talk to her! Talk to me! - I'm telling them what happened! She stole my car.
Again.
There's tenderness over the zygomatic process and hematoma - to the left temporal area.
- Run a head and face CT.
I'll get Sloan and Shepherd.
She's got a ruptured tendon in her knee that will need surgery.
So she'll be off her feet for a few weeks.
So more waiting on her hand and foot? - Brilliant.
- I saw that, Kathy! They're taking you for scans! That's all we said! So quiet down, let the nice doctor do her work! Why is this taking so long? Is it me or are those two women terribly annoying? My apologies.
We're working on getting you up to your own room - as soon as possible.
- You said that before.
Are you the same Shepherd who did the clinical trial on the gliomas? - Yes, sir.
- You brought me a neurosurgeon - for some abdominal cramps? - No, I Dr.
Shepherd is our chief of surgery, sir.
I don't need a cruise director.
I need an experienced surgeon.
Page Dr.
Grey.
I'm Dr.
Grey.
Either the world's most talented plastic surgeon works here, - or you're not Ellis Grey.
- She was my mother.
She passed away.
Oh.
I didn't know.
My condolences.
Who else then? Does Richard Webber still work here? Yes, uh Unfortunately, he is He is not available today.
Push two of Ativan! Percy, get him on his side.
- Cristina, watch that neck.
- Oh, my God! - What are they doing to that man?! - OK! - Applying pressure - I'll page Dr.
Webber.
As you can see, you've got dilated bowel here and here, indicating an obstruction.
It's good thing that our young Dr.
Avery brought you straight in.
Dr.
Bailey can do the surgery right away.
Was it a student, Webber? A board member's wife? - What? - No one gives up a chief of surgery gig.
And they don't oust you unless it's for something juicy.
- So who were you slipping it to? - Grandpa! - I'm sorry, Dr.
Webber.
- It was a joke.
He doesn't get me.
So, Webber? Dr.
Webber decided to focus on his research.
[Harper.]
Oh, the "research" line.
Well, either way, at least you'll be free to do my surgery.
Dr.
Bailey is more than capable of performing the surgery.
I want Webber.
- No offense.
- None taken.
And I want to watch.
- What? - I'm going to be awake for my surgery.
Watch.
[Sighs.]
So much for the low stress day.
A year after Mr.
Meyer's lymphoma went into remission, he was diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis, a condition he developed as a side effect to the radiation - he received during cancer treatment.
- [Woman.]
This isn't new information.
I thought you said they could help.
But they're new to the case.
It's important to review the entire history.
Great.
Can't you do that on your own time? Jill.
Sorry.
My sister usually waits a few more minutes - before going full bitch on you guys.
- [Teddy.]
All right.
Let me tell you what I know.
It is gonna be very difficult to find you a new set of lungs.
Donor lungs are scarce.
Eighty-five percent get thrown out because they get too inflamed while the donor is brain-dead.
And because your cancer could come back with the immunosuppressants you'd be on, you are considered a very high-risk candidate.
There are just too many other patients on the list that are lower risk.
Elliot survived leukemia and lymphoma.
Nobody does that, but he did.
He deserves lungs.
Unfortunately, these are the rules the transplant board sets out.
I I'm sorry.
Have you looked into the research they're doing with ex vivo transplants? - Ex vivo? - It's a procedure where they take damaged donor lungs, ones we'd normally throw away, and repair them on bypass.
- Are we doing one? - Let me guess.
You want on my service to make up for the fact that you humiliated yourself - in front of Harper Avery.
- How'd you hear about that? - You made fun of me.
- OK.
Fine, yes, I humiliated myself in front of Harper Avery.
And my daredevil gorked before we could operate on him.
So I am available for your ex vivo lung case.
I don't have an ex vivo lung case.
It's only been done in Switzerland and Canada on patients in much better shape than our patient.
Yes, but performing a procedure as hardcore as this, while Harper Avery is in the hospital, well, he could hear about it and like it.
And he's a god who hands out awards.
- I don't care about awards.
- Only people who never win awards ever say that.
- This could be an ex vivo lung case? - I do not have feelings for Alex.
I do not care.
[No audio.]
Here we go.
- He's giving them the speech.
- What speech? About the wonders of medicine.
About how, as surgeons, we're meant to push boundaries, - and do what no one has ever done.
- Sounds motivating.
It's cheesy, is what it is.
You hear it enough times at your grandparents' dinner table, you can't help but wanna be a surgeon when you grow up.
You had a dinner table? I didn't know world-class surgeons had dinner tables.
I feel gypped.
[Chuckles.]
That's 'cause you haven't heard the speech yet.
[Harper.]
To be awake for my own surgery? An opportunity like this? To be a student again, get a new perspective.
It's what we got into this business for in the first place.
Those moments that challenge and terrify and dare us to reach the potential that we were meant to reach.
So let's stop the talk and get into that OR and teach those kids, teach ourselves what it means to be great.
I'm sorry, I can't authorize an awake surgery, no matter We can do it.
- Derek, we can do this.
- [Harper.]
That's what I like to hear.
That's the way a chief does things.
Shepherd, take note.
- Dr.
Webber.
- Derek.
- I know what you're going to say - No.
As the sole person in this hospital assigned to look out for your welfare, I don't support this decision.
I apologize Chief Shepherd.
- You really wanna do this thing? - I do.
[Pager beeping.]
It's on you then.
Thank you for your help on that project.
- Same time tomorrow? - Yeah.
Oh, let me guess.
Still no call from Little Sloan? Nothing.
But it's OK.
I've moved on.
OK, yeah, getting out of bed and not wearing sweats around the apartment all day is a sign of progress.
Sleeping with the nurses? Not so much.
I wouldn't have to sleep with nurses if you'd put out.
I'm in a committed, loving, adult relationship.
- Tried that.
Didn't work.
- OK, whatever.
Just come take a look at this face CT on my patient.
Come on! Get the hell out of here, Karev! - What? - Get the hell out! Now! - What was that? - I don't like that guy.
He slept with Lexie once, Mark.
You two were broken up.
Actually, he's Never mind.
You don't sleep with another man's girl.
I learned that the hard way.
- Well played.
- Don't buy that.
He's acting out because he can't deal with the human emotions he's having.
Ask him how many nurses he's slept with today.
- You're sleeping with nurses? - You said no drug reps.
And I'm a grown man! I can screw whoever I want! - [Derek.]
Not in my hospital.
- What are you gonna do, fire me? - Maybe I will.
- Enough with the testosterone.
- Mrs.
Nelson's scans are up.
- No bleed, no fracture.
- She's good.
- She's deaf.
- Yeah.
How'd you know that? - She's got otosclerosis.
Abnormal bone growth in the middle ear.
If I remove the bones, - she'll be able to hear again.
- You can restore her hearing? - Yeah.
- But she's been deaf for years.
- Yeah, she doesn't have to be.
- Just because you remove the bone? What did I just say? She doesn't have to be deaf anymore.
I can fix it.
I'm that good.
You still wanna fire me? Not a bad-looking bowel, is it, Webber? [Richard.]
No, sir.
If I had to guess, I would say it was the bowel of a 50-year-old.
- Suction, Dr.
Grey.
- Dr.
Grey.
I've got a question for you.
- It's of a personal nature.
- Yes, sir? If your mother was still working here, would you have chosen to study at a different, lesser quality hospital in order to avoid the advantages of her legacy? I'm waiting here, Dr.
Grey.
Um Dr.
Webber, what do you think about intraoperational dye to help determine intestinal viability? Well, they say that it enhances clinical judgment.
I'm not really sure.
[Lexie.]
I don't get it.
Why does he get to scrub in on his own grandfather's awake surgery? The same reason Harper Avery personally requested Meredith Grey - to be his resident.
- Nepotism sucks.
Hey, you wanna go grab a bite? No.
Actually, I am [clears throat.]
full.
Really? 'Cause you didn't seem full last night.
I said no! OK? I'm not hungry.
At all.
- So just go eat alone.
- [Charles.]
Excuse me.
Sorry.
- Hey! Down in front, bigfoot.
- It's bigfoot now? Well, you know what they say about guys with big feet.
[Cristina.]
Shouldn't you be off learning how to be a surgeon - after you let my daredevil die? - My daredevil? He didn't die.
After you left, I personally helped preserve his heart function.
Now, he's an organ donor.
[Beeping sounds.]
- BP's dropping! - I think I've got a bleeder.
Suction.
- Did you check the SMA? - [Richard.]
Yes.
It's OK.
- Dr.
Avery, stay calm.
- I'll be calm when you find the damn thing.
What's going on, Kathy? You're serious? All this time I just needed to make her go to the doctor? That doesn't matter.
What matters is Dr.
Sloan can do the surgery right after I operate on the knee.
That accident might have been the best thing that ever happened to you.
- What's going on?! - Who are you? You're like some miracle worker or something.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
[Woman.]
What the hell is going on? - Mom, Dr.
Sloan can give you - Don't you dare sleep with that woman.
- [Woman.]
What? - No? No.
Dr.
Sloan, come and tell her yourself.
[Clears throat.]
Mrs.
Nelson, I'm Dr.
Sloan! I have some very good news for you! - Shouldn't we put him out? - [Harper.]
Don't put me out.
Hang another unit of FFP.
Maybe you should consider - Eighty over 50.
- There it is.
I've got it.
I've got it.
OK.
How are you feeling, Dr.
Avery? OK.
- Heart rate's stabilizing.
- Hang in there just a few more minutes.
- OK? 3-0 silk.
- [Harper.]
Silk? No.
Use chromic.
- Don't get lazy on me.
- Yep, he's fine.
Right.
Chromic instead, Bokie.
You paged? Oh, my God! Are you doing an ex vivo lung repair? - My daredevil turned out to be a match.
- You stole his lungs? No, I did not steal them.
The transplant team rejected them and were gonna send them to medical waste so I just redirected them to medical research.
Does Lexipedia want to be bad-ass and help on this thing or not? - My God.
Yeah! - OK, so I ventilated the lungs with CO2 and nitrogen - Hey.
- Hey.
- Hear about Harper? - Your motorcycle - You go.
- No, sorry.
I was just gonna say it's kinda cool, Harper Avery being here.
Yeah.
Yeah, it is.
- And your motorcycle guy? - Uh, we lost him.
- But he's a donor.
- That's good.
[Owen exhales deeply.]
You should come over sometime for dinner.
Cristina, she doesn't cook, but if you remember, I do a mean lasagna.
- Sure.
- Really? - Yeah.
Sounds fun.
- OK.
[Pager beeping.]
- Uh, I gotta go.
- All right.
- Talk to you later.
- OK, I know you love Yang.
She gives you the warm and fuzzies with her magical, special heart skills.
But those lungs you're transplanting belonged to a patient of mine, and it'd mean a lot to turn his death into something meaningful.
I'm sorry.
What lungs? You went behind my back.
You used my name.
We followed the protocol, didn't tell the patient.
You stole lungs! Which they were about to throw out.
She was being green.
Great! Then I don't have to worry about the thousands of dollars you spent, and the fact that no one in this hospital has ever tried this before.
Oh, my God.
This is about Harper Avery, isn't it? - That's why you did this? - Why is that such a bad thing? The point is that we You can pull this surgery off.
Oh, wow, thank you.
Who needs Harper Avery when they've got the Cristina Yang seal of approval? - That's not what I was saying.
- All this ambition of yours, this desperate need to win prizes, - it means your priorities are off! - Hey.
- Prizes push us to be better.
- They push us to be monsters! - Hey.
- Is the status quo not trying? - That's worse! - Hey! The lungs, look! They're They're viable.
A transplant with repaired lungs has never been done in the United States.
The risks are tremendous, and with the amount of radiation that you sustained, there's no way of knowing how friable your tissue is or if you can even sustain a transplant.
Wait, I'm sorry.
Are you saying you recommend it though? No, they're saying they want to give us a pair of hand-me-down lungs.
- The ones no one else wants.
- These are good lungs.
This procedure has allowed us to repair them - so they're virtually the same - No.
We'll wait.
We'll wait until you get the lungs you deserve.
You're so used to fighting, you don't even realize.
This is it.
I'm sick and I'm tired and I'm ready.
No matter what happens, my affairs are in order.
Your affairs are not in order.
Don't you dare say that.
Dr.
Robbins, please.
Is this my best shot? I'm not your surgeon here, Elliot.
I have to defer to Dr.
Altman.
It's your only shot.
Then, yes.
Do it.
Give me the hand-me-downs.
Dr.
Sloan, good timing.
Dr.
Karev and I are done.
- What the hell are you looking at? - Nothing.
- Get out of my OR, Karev! - Mark, you're way out of line here.
It's fine, I'll go.
He's got serial-killer eyes.
I'm almost done here anyway.
- You're sure? - Yeah.
- That is enough! - It's funny.
Did you see his face? It is sad and pathetic.
And you have a choice here.
Sloan and her baby leaving you can either be the worst or best thing that happened to you.
You can grow up, find a woman to love and have a baby, or you can be the ass attending who abuses residents and screws whatever walks into this hospital.
So just pick one.
Drape the ear, please.
Look, it's not gonna happen.
Five minutes with your grandpappy, that's all I ask.
Right, because the two of us are such good friends.
- This would go a long way to help that.
- Back off, Karev.
- If anybody's a friend here, it's me.
- You're not meeting him either.
- What happened to "Mercy West forever?" - That was never a thing.
Now, leave.
[All groaning.]
I hate it.
I hate it when they know I'm related to him.
The way they treat me, the way they watch me as soon as they find out.
I know the name has helped, but he is not easy.
Brilliant, but really not easy to be related to.
[Pager beeping.]
It's him.
911.
What is it? You paged? You're OK? We never got a chance to finish our talk from this morning.
- Our talk? Are you kidding me? - You brought Dr.
Grey.
That's good, actually.
Answer me this time, Dr.
Grey.
If a spot was being held for you to study at the greatest hospital in this country, would you turn it down? - A spot? Well - Yeah, he saved a spot for me at Mass Gen ever since I graduated.
The only reason he came to visit, to try to convince me to take it.
Again.
- It's an incredible opportunity.
- An opportunity I don't want! I don't want to work for you.
I don't want your help.
I don't - It's enough - No! I decide when I've said enough! You think I am arrogant and overbearing, and you've made that clear.
Maybe I am.
But I am also your only living grandfather, and it has become very clear to me today that my time is coming.
- [Rapid beeping.]
- I I can't leave Grandpa? Grandpa? V-tach! No pulse! No pulse.
Get a crash cart in here! Your CT shows that there's been a complication.
Dr.
Webber will take you back into the OR and fix it right away.
Fine But you're not putting me out.
Clearly, a mistake was made.
I'm not letting that happen again.
That's not gonna happen this time.
You're in my hospital today.
You will abide by my rules.
That means you go under general.
Your grandson will be in the waiting room as family.
If you refuse, then I'll personally declare you unfit to make decisions regarding your own care.
That is how a chief does things.
Take note.
- Have Bailey do the surgery.
- Richard.
It could've been my mistake in there, Derek.
Do you understand what this would mean, making an error on this man? I want a drink.
Not operate, not hold another man's life in my hands.
So, please, let Bailey do it.
Bailey will assist.
Two months ago, you never would've told me you wanted a drink.
You would've had one.
You can do this, Richard.
[Mark.]
I get it.
You got used to being the one person she could count on.
Now, suddenly, you're supposed to just move on.
Get a life that doesn't involve taking care of the one person you thought needed you.
That's hard.
OK.
Yeah.
[sniffles.]
Except no.
I am not gonna miss taking care of her.
I wasted years of my life.
And I was miserable.
But now I can do anything.
Right? I mean, I can I can move out.
Get my own place.
Have men over.
Men that look like you.
I was taking care of you, you little tramp.
Mom? No one asked you to move in.
You were getting a divorce and you had no place to go, so you came home.
I didn't need you to take care of me.
I was fine.
Happy.
But I let you because I was taking care of you.
You heard all that? [Laughs.]
Mom, you can hear! - I can? - Yeah! Oh, my God, I can! I can! - Say something! Say something else! - OK! - I'm moving out, Mom.
- I heard that.
- Whoo! - Shh! Sorry.
- [Teddy.]
Damn it.
- [Lexie.]
What is it? The tissue is falling apart, the clamp's not holding.
Get me some umbilical tape.
[Sighs.]
This is why I hate awards.
They don't make us better, just more competitive and stupid.
And for what? To put on a dress, and eat a bad piece of fish and take home an ugly paperweight that's gonna sit on your mantle for the rest of your sad, empty, misguided life.
- Do an interposition vein graft.
- What? - You have something to add, Dr.
Yang? - No, just You've already gotten this far, you could repair the PA with a graft.
- Maybe.
- No.
I could do a pericardial patch.
I could use his pericardium to do the repair.
- Start cooling him.
- Arrest the heart.
- How are we doing on time, Grey? - Cold ischemic time three hours so far.
Which means we still have enough time to save the lungs if we hurry.
All right, Yang, get in there and help me.
Clamp.
Good.
Here we go.
[Bailey.]
His bowels are all swollen and hardened, the anastomosis is leaking.
Which explains why he went into shock.
All in all, I'd say this is about the best news - we could've asked for, Dr.
Webber.
- I don't understand.
His bowels are perforated.
He's leaking intestinal contents.
Because Dr.
Avery was allergic to the chromic suture.
He didn't know because he was always wearing gloves in his own surgeries.
And you couldn't have known either.
Which is why I am smiling behind this mask.
Get the 3-0 silk ready, Bokie.
OK.
This is it.
Let's take him off bypass and see if these lungs can work on their own.
Clamping.
There.
[Machine shutting down.]
Come on.
Breathe.
[Slow beeping.]
Breathe.
Breathe, damn it.
[Distant thunder rumbling.]
[Jill sobs.]
I just spent the past five hours trying to be OK with the fact that my only brother was dead, and You're saying it worked? He's gonna be OK? - Barring any complications - He's gonna be OK, yes.
[Chuckles.]
- Would you like to see him? - Yeah.
OK, come on.
Hey.
So he's fine.
It was an allergy caused by the suture.
It was his fault then.
Wow.
That's awesome.
Why don't they publish that story? Yeah, I know.
I get it.
The famous grandfather.
The legacy he's trying force on you.
You didn't ask for any of it.
Trust me, I get it.
You're putting up walls and avoiding him and you don't want to introduce him to your friends.
It was the same with my mother.
But if she were here right now, in a room upstairs, I'd want to go see her and make things right with her.
And I definitely would want to go learn from her.
And you still can.
Guess who just helped save a guy's life by suggesting a highly experimental, - awesome procedure - Did you tell Sloan we were together? - What? - Look, I like you.
You're a great time in bed.
But don't go telling your ex we're together so you can make him jealous.
I did not tell Mark that we were together.
- I am not trying to make him jealous.
- Yeah, right.
I'm getting kicked out of ORs for a reason.
For once in my life, for once, I am doing something that is only for me.
And it has nothing to do with me having feelings for you.
Or for Mark.
Or anyone, really.
This is about not feeling.
You make me not feel.
If you can't handle that, if you can't handle being used for sex, then please just tell me so that I can find a guy who can.
I'm all about not feeling.
- You've been through a lot, I - Don't get all mushy on me.
I'm just saying we're on the same page.
And I got a free 20 minutes.
You wanna go not have feelings somewhere? Excuse me, Dr It's really bad form to cancel plans with new friends.
You know that, right? I'll meet you in 15.
- Hey.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- Hey.
So I heard about the lung transplant.
- Cristina said that you were amazing.
- No, Cristina was amazing.
You tell her I said that and you're dead.
You wanna grab a beer, celebrate? I was gonna head to Joe's.
I've got plans, actually.
Ladies night.
I'm a little scared.
I'll see you tomorrow, Hunt.
[Meredith.]
No matter how many plans we make or steps we follow See you tomorrow.
we never know how our day is going to end up.
We'd prefer to know, of course, what curveballs will be thrown our way.
Karev! Look, dude, she's not my girlfriend.
Whatever business you have to work out I'll stop.
The yelling, throwing you out of ORs, it's over.
[Breathing heavy.]
Hey.
Hey.
[Meredith.]
It's the accidents that always turn out to be the most interesting parts of our day.
Of life.
How's your regenerative medicine research going? Uh I put it on the shelf a few years back.
Got preoccupied.
Huh.
That research put you on the shortlist for my award several times, Webber.
Maybe it's time to dust it off.
Maybe it is.
[Meredith.]
The people we never expected to show up.
- Grandpa, I - Ah.
wanted to introduce you to some friends.
If you feel up for it.
[Chuckles.]
Bring 'em in.
All right.
Hurry up.
Come on.
We met already this morning, I know.
But you weren't [giggles.]
There was so much going on.
Start with your name, and we'll go from there.
- Cristina Yang.
It's an honor, sir.
- It's nice to - Thank you so much.
officially meet you.
- And the rest of you.
- Lexie Grey.
[Meredith.]
The turn of events we never would've chosen for ourselves.
- You won't make that.
- I'll make it.
I told off one of my heroes today, I can do anything.
You know Teddy did an ex vivo lung repair today? It was pretty incredible.
I slept with my patient's daughter, just now.
After restoring her mother's hearing.
Don't worry, Derek.
I promise never to do it again.
Wow.
We suck.
[Knocking.]
- They were just leaving.
- We were? - Yeah.
- Right, we were.
- Good night, Webber.
- [Richard.]
Good night.
I had to pee in a cup today, Derek.
I had to pee in a cup.
And it was humiliating.
And, what I did today, agreeing to the awake surgery, I know I overstepped, but I needed to feel something other than humiliated.
I understand.
Tomorrow's another day.
Thank you.
[Meredith.]
All of a sudden, you find yourself somewhere you never expected to be.
And it's nice.
Or it takes some getting used to.
Why couldn't we have gone dancing for girls night? - Or bowling? - We took a vote.
You lost.
Besides, it's fun.
- Says who? - Bailey's face.
Look at it.
Go, go, go! Come on, come on, come on! [All cheering.]
That's right! [Meredith.]
Still, you know you'll find yourself appreciating it somewhere down the line.
I'm in love with Teddy.
I love her.
You're like Lexie with the inappropriate feelings for inappropriate people.
What can I say? My heart lives in my scalpel.
- Those were trick balls.
- [Teddy.]
Bailey, you gotta be taller! - I got it.
- Let 'em go.
So you go to sleep each night thinking about tomorrow.
[Cheering.]
- That's what I'm talking about! - Yes! - Beat that, Yang! - Oh, no, it's Teddy's turn.
- Going over your plans - Gonna feel great when you connect.
preparing the lists - Like making your first incision.
Take it.
Just you, the bat and the ball.
Yeah, I'm a badass chick, Cristina.
I've swung a bat before.
[Cristina.]
OK, let's see it.
and hoping that whatever accidents come your way [cheering.]
will be happy ones.
