Grey's Anatomy s06e19 Episode Script

Sympathy for the Parents

[Up-tempo music playing.]
[Meredith.]
Psychologists believe that every aspect of our lives, all our thought processes and behavior patterns, are the direct result of our relationship to our parents.
You're looking all thoughtful.
I'm just thinking how pretty you are.
And also how pretty our children would be.
Children? - Like, multiple? - Child.
Let's just start with one and see how it goes.
You wanna start? I'm just saying you're pretty.
That's all I'm saying.
[Meredith.]
That every relationship that we have is really just another version of that first relationship.
Have you talked to Dr.
Wyatt? - [Sighing.]
Cristina - When's the last time? [Meredith.]
It's just us trying over and over again to get right.
[Knocking on door.]
- Alex? - [Alex.]
Mer? OK, so lzzie's not here and Cristina's not answering her phone and I have a thing, so I need you to be a girl for me.
What'd he do? - You want me to kick his ass? - He wants me to have a baby.
- So you do want me to kick his ass? - Alex.
- Do you want to have a baby? - A baby doesn't want me.
I had the worst mother in the world.
I'd be the worst mother in the world.
Izzie wants a divorce.
She sent the papers.
- The official papers.
- You want me to kick her ass? [Scoffs.]
Hey, Alex Hey.
- He's being a girl for me.
- Dude, it's true.
Right.
There's a guy downstairs who says he's your brother.
Do you want me to send him to the bathroom, since this seems to be where you receive your visitors? - Um, tell him to wait.
- Right.
- You have a brother? - Yeah.
- Do you want me to go get rid of him? - Crap! What's he doing here? Alex is the oldest, then me, and then Amber.
Amber's graduating from St.
Saviour's in May.
She's She's smart like Alex.
She could go to college if she wanted to, but she's, like, "What's the point?" you know? I don't know what to tell her.
Alex is the doctor in the family.
- I move people for a living.
- Hey.
What are you doing here? - Oh, man! You got old! - Dude! What are you doing here? I had to drive to Portland on a job, and since I was in the neighborhood - Portland's not in the neighborhood.
- It's three hours.
- I do three hours in my sleep.
- He's your brother.
He's allowed to come say hi.
You're gonna be late for pre-rounds.
OK.
Well, it was very nice to meet you.
I'm Lexie, by the way.
I'm overdue for a visit.
It's been seven years.
- No, it has not.
- Since you've been home.
- Seven years.
- You haven't been home in seven years? Derek.
I have this.
Mm-hmm.
- Derek.
Nice meeting you.
- Aaron.
- Take care.
I'll see you.
- Meredith, by the way.
- Hello.
- Nice to meet you.
- Has it been seven years? - Amber was ten last time we saw you.
What's going on? What do you want? I do miss you, OK? And I did want to say hi, but since you're a doctor, I thought I'd ask.
Should I be worried about this? - [Coffee maker whirring.]
- [Cash register beeping.]
- [Woman.]
Thank you.
Cappuccino.
- Cappuccino.
- So? How'd the date go with Teddy? - I don't know if I'd call it a date.
Doesn't going on a date imply actually going somewhere? Shut up.
You had sex? - Hey, guys! - Hey! [Awkward chuckling.]
Oh! Pound cake.
[laughs.]
I love pound cake.
Rich, buttery pound cake.
- Mmm.
- [Arizona.]
Yum, pound cake.
[Nervous chuckling.]
- Mmm.
Mm-hmm.
- Hmm.
- Pound cake? - Oh, I'm good.
Thanks.
So, what exactly constitutes a pound cake? - It's a yellow cake.
- [Woman.]
There you go.
- Kinda heavy.
- Come on.
Code for something dirty, right? Like you eat her pound cake, - she eats your pound cake.
- No.
Oh, please, tell me it's dirty.
Because otherwise, that was the most boring conversation I've ever been a part of.
We are talking about pound cake because I want a kid and she doesn't.
We're not talking about that.
How long are you two not gonna have that conversation? - A year? Two years? Five? - Wow.
So you and Teddy ate pound cake together? - You're changing the subject.
- You like how I did that? - So how was it? - Mind-blowing.
- Yeah? - I pounded her cake.
She pounded mine.
- [Laughing.]
- Excellent pound-caking.
- Pound-caking is not a thing.
- Whatever.
I blew her mind.
- Life-changing? - Life-changing, earth-shattering.
The point is, he's a legend for a reason.
He has skills that I never even knew existed.
It was like - there was a party going on.
- A party in your panties.
Oh [laughs.]
[Both chuckling.]
Morning.
- Good morning.
- [Teddy.]
Hi.
- Bye.
- [Teddy.]
Bye.
See you.
He's always so grumpy.
He's going through something.
And Cristina doesn't get it.
She can't, which isn't her fault.
But I do get it, and and I can't be there for him, and that's That's really hard.
But you're seeing Mark.
But I'm seeing Mark.
So then a couple days ago, we're at the grocery store, Gary and I.
The next thing I know, I'm flat on my back in the frozen food section.
- She fainted.
- And I have never fainted.
I've never even seen anybody faint.
I don't believe in fainting.
- Did you hit your head? - I would if this one hadn't caught me.
Mrs.
Clark is anemic and guaiac positive, so there's internal bleeding, which looks like it's coming from A friable tumor near the ampulla of Vater.
Yes, thank you for that, Dr.
Kepner.
Dr.
Swender told us the biopsy showed the cancer was back, but she said you might be able to take it out.
There's a chance I won't be able to go in as deeply as I need to.
But I'll promise to do everything I can.
- Anything you could do - We appreciate it, Dr.
Webber.
Thank you.
Thank you.
- I honestly don't think I need surgery.
- You do.
- It doesn't hurt that bad.
- You have an umbilical hernia.
You need surgery.
Shut up and fill out the paperwork.
Surgery'll make it hurt worse.
Remember when Dad had his gallbladder out? - Stop talking and write! - Write what? I don't have insurance.
What am I supposed to write? - Ask Bailey to do it pro bono.
- I can't ask her to do that.
- Alex, he's your brother.
- Evil spawn has a brother? Aaron, Cristina Yang.
Nice to meet you, Dr.
Yang.
I'm Aaron Karev.
Oh, my God, you're so nice.
He's so Why can't you be nice like your brother, angel spawn? - Why can't you? - Fair enough.
- Mer, what's up? You called? - Ten times.
Owen's still in his dark place and he's still not talking.
So I turned off my cell in case he'd say something.
Which he didn't.
I hate men.
They're stupid.
Derek asked me to have a baby with him this morning.
- Really stupid.
- [Pager beeping.]
Oh, great.
The Pit, with Owen and his dark place.
[Siren wailing.]
- What have we got? - A cop with multiple GSWs.
- How many cops did you say? - Just one.
[Woman.]
Officer Gina Thompson, 34, GSWs to the hip and chest.
Vitals 100 over 70, pulse 118, respirations 28.
That's quite a police escort, Officer Thompson.
- I told those guys I was fine.
- I wonder why they didn't believe you.
- I've been in worse shape.
- Seriously? Oh, yeah.
You should see the other guys.
[Indistinct chattering.]
You took down three guys by yourself? Hey, a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do.
Am I right, ladies? - [Woman.]
Coming through.
- [Man.]
Let's go.
- [Teddy.]
How many bullet wounds? - Four.
I'm wondering - [Owen.]
No exit wound for right leg.
- Busted the femur.
- [Callie.]
I have to debride.
- [Teddy.]
The trajectory - Seems to have gone upwards.
- [Cristina.]
Breath sounds are [Teddy.]
Three chest wounds can't be transthoracic Oh, God, Gina.
Baby.
- Baby, look at you.
- [Gina.]
I'm OK.
They're taking good care of me.
This is my husband, Jimmy.
This is Lieutenant Moore.
- What'd you find out at the scene? - You were told to wait for backup.
I was first on the scene.
I heard a shot.
I went in.
You disobeyed a direct order, you endangered your own life - and everybody in the building.
- I took down three men by myself.
- And got yourself suspended for it.
- What?! [Moore.]
It's going to the review board this afternoon.
You'll be lucky to have a job by the end of the day.
- I gotta get out of here.
- I need you - I gotta go defend myself! - She's bleeding into her chest.
- [Teddy.]
Throw in a chest tube now! - Get them out of here now! - No, I gotta go! Please! - [Teddy.]
Gina, just lie back.
- Go.
You must go.
- [Teddy.]
All you have to do is breathe.
[Lexie.]
Dr.
Webber, did you consider doing a Whipple on Mrs.
Clark? [Richard.]
I did.
But since the cancer came back, I think I can do a local resection and get the entire visible tumor.
- Dr.
Kepner, are we boring you? - No, sir.
I just I wasn't expecting Chief Shepherd to be up in the gallery during a general surgery.
I guess that's the chief's job, right? Evaluating, observing.
Dr.
Kepner, you're in my OR, and the only one observing and evaluating you right now is me.
Yes, sir.
I'm sorry, sir.
- Go get it, guys.
- Put the orange in the red.
How's that? Orange and the red.
- And it's - Dr.
Bailey, you got a second? I do.
I have a second.
Which is why I'm spending it with my child.
Here, look.
Say bye-bye, Dr.
Karev.
Yeah, bye-bye.
- Say goodbye.
- Dr.
Bailey, my little brother is here with what looks like an umbilical hernia.
I didn't know Dr.
Karev had a little brother.
Did you know Dr.
Karev had a little brother? He has no money, he doesn't have insurance.
So Mommy sees where this is going.
He'd have to have you perform the surgery pro bono.
[Cackles.]
Did you hear that funny word? [Giggling.]
Pro bono.
Mommy's got a mountain of surgeries to schedule.
Does she have time to do free surgeries? And I'll schedule your surgeries for the next week if you want.
Think Mommy should fix up Dr.
Karev's brother, make him feel better? - Two weeks.
A month.
- All right! [laughs.]
I will meet Dr.
Karev's brother in half an hour.
- Say bye-bye, Dr.
Karev.
Bye-bye.
- [Woman.]
Come on.
I would have done it anyway, but he just kept talking, didn't he? You're so good.
[Woman on PA.]
Dr.
Sandoval to OR three.
Dr.
Sandoval - Mr.
Clark? - How is she? She did great in there.
She was a total trooper.
The surgery went great.
We got the tumor, all of it, - with good margins.
- Oh, thank God! Oh.
Dr.
Grey, thank you.
Thank you so much.
My wife keeps telling me I need to be more manly about all this.
After all, she's the one with the cancer.
- She's afraid I won't make it.
- I think you're doing just fine.
- You both are.
You like to see her? - Can I? She should be waking up any minute.
How is it your brother is a surgeon, and you waited months to take care of this? I don't know.
Karevs are tough.
I guess five years in foster care will do that to you.
- Foster care? - You're all foster children? Well, me and Amber were in and out, but Alex, he had, like [exhales.]
17 different foster homes in five years.
- So Alex was a foster child? - [Aaron.]
Yeah, because my mom was It was before they had all the meds they have today, and she was I guess she was doing her best, but my dad, he wasn't a good guy and he was You know whatever.
And so Alex, he got shipped around a lot.
[Chuckles.]
And he was a pretty rough kid if you didn't know him.
So people didn't like to keep him.
And he ended up in juvie.
Juvenile detention? [Laughs.]
Yeah, 'cause my mom, she'd Sometimes, she'd forget to buy food, so He was good, though.
People wouldn't even know he was stealing anything if it hadn't been for the video cameras.
How old was he? - Mmm Eleven, maybe 12.
- Hey, what do we do with 2807? - Dude, are you talking crap in here? - No.
- Dude, I work here.
- So go to work.
- Check the chest tube in 2807.
Go.
- Shut it, Aaron.
- So what happened after juvie? - Dr.
Bailey, I don't think Alex Mind your business.
Aaron? After juvie? They couldn't just expect me to just sit there with a 10-71 in progress.
I had good, solid information the perps were threatening - Your doctors are here.
- We need to take you to surgery.
- Kenny, did you get that? 10-71.
- Baby, he got that.
You gotta go.
Wait! This is important.
They're gonna need a statement.
Baby, that's what's important? Trying to save your job? - [Gina.]
Jimmy - [Jimmy.]
Listen, every year you promise me that once you make detective, we're gonna buy a house, have a kid and settle down.
But [sighs.]
Baby, it's been seven years, and every time you get close to a promotion, - you go do something stupid.
- Baby These people are trying to save your life, and you want them to wait? I'm not gonna stand here and watch you die.
I want a life with you, baby.
I want a long happy, boring life.
- Tell me everything you did.
- I was trying to wean her off the ventilator, but then I realized she wasn't breathing on her own, so I put her back on her previous vent settings.
- Dr.
Webber, what's happening to her? - She may have stroked out.
Get a CT and get the scans to Shepherd.
Also, run an EEG.
We need to find out right away if there's any brain activity.
If there's not, then we need She looks great.
Oh, thank God! Dr.
Grey told me you got the tumor.
Thank you so much, Dr.
Webber.
Can I wake her? Sweetheart? You still sleeping? The doctors said you did great in there.
Honey? You awake? Alison? Alison? The patient's had a massive hemorrhage.
Look.
See here? The left temporal lobe.
- Hemorrhages looks like a - Wow.
That bleed is huge.
- What? - You look even prettier in your scrubs.
What are you gonna do about your giant stroke? Nothing.
- Nothing? - Yeah.
Mrs.
Clark has a left temporal lobe hemorrhage that's extended into the ventricular system.
There's nothing we can do.
Want to get a cup of coffee? [Meredith.]
Only if you keep telling me how pretty I am.
We got three bowel injuries here.
You got anything, Avery? - Found what did the damage.
- You see the bullet? Lodged near the liver.
[Owen.]
Teddy, I'm looking at a Devastator.
- What? What does that mean? - It means be careful.
They're sharp like shrapnel and explode on impact.
[Callie.]
Can you imagine going to work every day knowing you're gonna end up on the wrong side of a gun? [Cristina.]
I know.
She is awesome.
Now her husband wants her to give it all up.
He's all, "Start poppin' out babies or I'm leaving you.
" Why does it have to be one or the other? You don't want to have kids if you're facing mortar fire every day.
- It screws with your head.
- Is that why you don't have them? Iraq? First, it was residency.
And then it was Iraq.
And now it's I don't know.
- Waiting for the right guy? - You want to have kids? - Wait, you don't? - Have you met me? No.
[Teddy.]
OK, we're done here.
- I think I feel it.
- [Teddy.]
Feel what? The bullet.
It's right next to the heart.
There's still some bleeding.
I got it.
- No, no, don't - [bullet bursts.]
- [Monitor beeping.]
- Oh, God! - Damn it, Cristina! - [Cristina.]
What happened? [Owen.]
You essentially fired a bullet into that patient's chest, is what you did.
- That's my intestine? - Yeah.
And that part right there is supposed to be on the inside of the membrane, not the outside.
Dude, that is sick.
Can I get a copy of one of these? I want to hang it on my fridge.
Are we doing consults at the desk nowadays? 'Cause I kind of need to use the computer.
Oh, uh, This is Alex's brother.
Aaron, this is Arizona Robbins.
Nice to meet you.
How come I didn't meet you at the wedding? - Actually, Dr.
Robbins - That's right, no one's family came.
- Last minute switcheroo and all that.
- What wedding? - Alex and lzzie's.
- No one's.
Alex got married? I'm just gonna go use the computer over there.
Bye! He got married and he didn't even call us? No, it sounds weird, but it was totally a spur-of-the-moment thing.
- You know, because of the cancer.
- Alex has cancer? - Lexie - No, lzzie has cancer.
- Who's lzzie? - Alex's wife.
But she's not really his wife anymore.
It's I wouldn't worry about it.
- They got divorced? - No, but they She left, and then, you know, she came back, but he didn't think - it was the right thing - Lexie.
- Stop talking.
- OK.
[sighs.]
- You guys all right up there? - There's shrapnel everywhere.
I was going for the bleeder.
I didn't touch the bullet.
I don't know When your commanding officer tells you to stand down, stand down! I'm not in the Army, and you're not my commanding officer.
Dr.
Altman and I are your attendings.
And you are our subordinate, and do exactly as we say, even if you do not agree.
You know why? Because we know more than you do.
For example, we know that Devastator bullets have chemicals in them, and they do not detonate on impact.
Sometimes, the heat from that Bovie is enough to make them explode.
Do you understand? Dr.
Yang, do you understand? For whatever it's worth, I would've done the same thing Yang did.
Anybody would.
- If it's a bleeder - [Teddy.]
The damage is done.
There's no point in arguing about it.
Let's just fix it.
Yang, I need your hands right now.
Right here.
- OK, you see this? Hold it.
- Yes.
Mm-hmm.
- Hey.
- Dude.
How could you not have told me you got married? - You told him? - No.
It wasn't me.
- Some of it was - It was Arizona Robbins, - and it was an accident.
- She figured your own brother would already know you married somebody This is why I didn't wanna tell you.
You'd make a big deal It is a big deal! You get married on the spur of the moment, - you walk out on your wife - I did not walk out! She walked out on me.
She walked out! You have any idea what Mom's gonna do when she finds out? - She's gonna go off her meds.
- She's not.
You're not gonna tell her.
You're gonna get free surgery, get back in your truck and you're gonna get the hell out of here! Fine.
You know what? I don't need your free surgery.
- I'll see you.
- Aaron, stop.
- You're not going anywhere.
- I don't need your crap! You walk out on us, you walk out on your wife.
Like father, like son.
- Take it back! Take it back! - Get off me, man! [Grunts.]
[Meredith.]
Alex! - Get off me, man! - [Meredith.]
Alex! No, no! This is not happening! Alex! - Get off me! - Karev! [Thuds.]
- What the hell is your problem? - You are! You hitting people now, too? You really did turn into Dad! Walk away.
Alex, walk away.
Just walk away.
- OK - Give him some space.
- OK, don't follow him.
- OK.
- I need a gurney.
Run, honey! - [Panting.]
She could wake up, right? I mean, people wake up from comas all the time.
I'm sorry.
Your wife's coma is irreversible.
Dr.
Grey, would you explain it, please? Mrs.
Clark's scans showed a massive hemorrhage in her brain, and the EEG showed minimal brain activity.
But that means there's hope, right? Because At least there's activity.
And and her heart's still beating.
Only because the mechanical ventilator is breathing for her.
When we turn the machine off, the heart won't get the oxygen it needs - and it will stop.
- Why would you turn it off? People can live for years on these machines.
Mr.
Clark, the advanced directive your wife signed specifically requested no mechanical ventilation.
She filled that form out three years ago when the cancer was first diagnosed.
The doctor told her she had six months to live, and she held on for another three years.
She'll come back from this, too.
You'll see.
You can't unplug her.
[Richard.]
Legally, we don't have a choice, sir.
But she's my wife.
- It's my choice.
- It's your wife's choice.
And she made it three years ago.
You said the surgery went fine.
- That's what you said.
- It did.
- But - [Gary.]
No.
You're not a doctor, you're a child! And you're useless! I'm done talking with you! I'm done talking with all of you.
Who's in charge here? He protected me my whole life, you know? He kicked my dad's ass so hard, the son of a bitch never came back.
I thought he did that for me, but maybe he likes throwing punches.
Aaron, I like you.
I do.
But you can't talk about my friend that way, OK? I need you to count backwards from ten for me, OK? OK.
Ten.
Nine.
Eight [Bailey.]
That's it.
A junkie dad, a crackpot mom, and somehow Karev still became a doctor.
I'm not easily impressed, but I'm impressed.
- Prep him, we'll go scrub.
- [Woman.]
Yes, doctor.
Dr.
Grey, we're meeting Gary Clark in Shepherd's office.
- Five minutes.
- Yeah.
I told a patient's husband that she was fine.
That her surgery went perfectly.
And then next thing we know, she has a stroke and we're supposed to just unplug her.
I know that I am supposed to toughen up.
I know that I am supposed to not care, but how How do you not care? [Sighs.]
It's the hardest part of the job.
The very hardest part.
How did you do it? How did you learn? I'm still learning.
Why is her BP still low? Is she still bleeding up there? - We've got it under control.
- We've had LR and blood hanging since we got here, but we can't catch up.
Is her liver bleeding? - No, I think we got it.
- [Jackson.]
Dr.
Torres is right.
Still bleeding in the retroperitoneum.
[Owen.]
We need a retractor in here.
[Callie.]
That's a lot of blood.
Get in there with the suction.
- See where it's coming from? - I can't see past the clots.
- The suction's clotting.
- Let's use our hands! Scoop! [Callie.]
Did you check the uterine artery? That could be the source.
Down to 64 over 32.
We gotta stop this thing or we're gonna lose her.
If we hadn't been distracted by artillery, we might have found this Hunt, not now.
[Machine beeping.]
[Sighs.]
That was, um That was our fault in there.
We were speaking in shorthand.
We forget sometimes that you guys are civilians - and you don't know about ballistics.
- It's not just that.
It was It's not the first time.
He's been It's been - He has been through so much.
- It's not like he talks about it.
He can't.
I can't talk about it either most days.
But Owen had it worse than me.
Has it worse.
He's triggered.
Right now, he's triggered.
And his triggers might never go away.
They'll get better over time, if you give him time, which you should, because he is in love with you.
He just needs time.
He needs therapy.
I keep telling him to go to Dr.
Wyatt No, don't do that.
He won't go if you tell him to.
He's He's very He's a guy that way.
A man.
Don't ever tell him what to do.
Just Just tell him how you feel.
When's the best time to have kids? The best time to have kids is never.
[Scoffs.]
- What? You asked.
- Well, yeah, but They cry all the time.
Nonstop.
They never sleep.
They're terrible conversationalists.
They take everything you've got.
All your time, all your focus, all your patience, all your sleep.
Everything, till you got nothing left for you.
Wow.
[Sighs.]
But this morning Little Tuck woke me up by putting his nose up against mine.
His cold, little nose.
And he goes, "Wake up!" And he got the "K" sound in "wake.
" Wake up.
See, up until today, he'd say "D" instead of "K.
" "Wade up.
" [Laughs.]
Girl, him nailing that "K" sound? It's the pride I felt.
The irrational, unbridled joy.
Yeah.
It's at least as good as any Whipple.
Look, if you're waiting for the perfect time to have kids, you're never going to have kids.
[Exhales.]
Hey.
Aaron's surgery went well.
His hernia defect was fairly large, but Bailey was able to use mesh to bridge it.
So He'll be waking up in a few minutes if you want to stop by.
Mr.
Clark, I'm deeply sorry for your for your loss.
No, don't speak about my wife as if she's dead.
She's still here.
She could wake up.
She's not gonna wake up, Mr.
Clark.
Not with the brain damage she's suffered.
- You don't know that.
- Mr.
Clark, if we don't obey your wife's directive, if we ignore her wishes She signed that form three years ago.
Her health will deteriorate.
She'll lose body mass.
She'll have no immune system.
She'll require around-the-clock care, and that can become very expensive very quickly.
- I don't care about that.
- It'll be no life for either of you.
And that's why your wife signed the advanced directive.
She didn't want to have to live her life this way.
And she didn't want you to live this way.
Don't you speak for my wife.
Don't you dare speak for my wife.
I'm sorry, Mr.
Clark, but the ethics committee has reviewed your case.
We are bound by law to obey her wishes.
If you unplug my wife you'll be killing her.
I'm sorry.
You should take all the time you need to call your family, to say goodbye.
There's no one to call.
We didn't have any family.
It's just us.
We didn't have any kids.
It's just me.
He's my sister's husband.
- Excuse me? - Don't play stupid.
I'm not playing stupid! I am stupid! I'm stupid and I'm humiliated.
And I'm sorry.
I just I've never felt anything [sighs.]
I've never felt like this before.
So if you just please forget what you saw, because I promise you will never see it again, and we can just go back to being doctors.
Please.
This day sucks.
I hate this day.
[Sighing.]
Oh, God.
You don't have to be here.
You can go.
I'm just making sure you don't croak, and then I'm outta here.
You saved my ass every day when we were kids.
You You were a better parent than Mom and Dad put together.
And every day, I feel bad for Amber, that she has just me instead of you.
What happened to you, man? I send you money every month.
I send Mom her meds.
You want that to stop? I am this close to being a real surgeon.
I can't I can't be in that and do this.
I can't.
[Aaron.]
Amber's a good kid.
She turned out OK.
You'd like her.
You turned out OK, too, Aaron.
I'm sorry your wife left you.
Or got cancer or whatever.
Thanks.
[Down tempo music plays.]
We repaired the damage to your liver and intestine, cleaned out your fractured hip and fixed your lung.
There was a bullet and some shrapnel near your heart.
- Oh, my God.
- But Dr.
Altman was able - to repair all the damage.
- Thank you.
Thank you all so much.
Honestly, I don't even know what to say.
There was, um There were complications, Gina.
There was a lot of bleeding in the abdomen.
The uterine artery was involved.
We were able to stop the bleed, but [sighs.]
in order to do that, we had to remove your uterus.
What? We had to perform a hysterectomy.
I'm sorry.
She can't? We can't have kids? I'm so sorry.
We can never have kids? - Oh, God.
- It's OK.
It's all right, baby.
[Shushes.]
It's OK.
It's OK.

How long has he been there? - [Lexie.]
About three hours.
It's time.
See it through.
[Sighs.]
- Mr.
Clark? - Please.
I'm sorry.
I keep telling myself there's a chance she'll wake up.
[Voice shaking.]
Once you turn off the respirator [sniffs.]
there is a chance even even if it's just a less than one percent chance, that she'll start breathing again.
Right? Miracles do happen.
That's what That's what she always says.
Please.
Please, darling, wake up.
- Please.
- I am so sorry.
[Whispering.]
Please.
Please.
Please.
Please wake up.
Please wake up.

[Distant sirens wailing.]
Hi.
Were you checking up on me in that surgery today? I wasn't checking up on you.
I was observing.
You know, that's the closest I get to an OR these days? I'm gonna choose to believe you on that.
Hm.
They were married 32 years.
There was nothing you could've done.
I'm going home to my wife.
You should do the same thing.
Looking good, Gina.
You're gonna be back on the beat in no time.
That's what they call it, right? The beat? Yes, they do.
And no, she won't.
Jimmy and I talked about it.
I'm quitting.
- What? - Why? Well, 'cause Jimmy's right.
I mean, it's a job, you know? And I love it.
But I love my husband, too.
And we're gonna adopt ten Haitian orphans or something.
- Eight.
- [Callie.]
Well, congratulations.
- Thank you.
- Gina.
I want you to know I did the best I could with the review board.
- Josh, it's OK.
- They want you back on the job.
Are you kidding me? [Man.]
Welcome back, Officer Thompson.
- [Gina.]
Oh, my God! - Look out now! Watch out! [Gina.]
Oh, my God! - Oh, my God! - You're killing it, Gina! Thank you so much.
[Door shuts.]
- Where's Aaron? - He went back to lowa.
You let him drive after surgery? I'm not his dad.
He's got my number.
You know, you're nothing like your father, right? [Chuckles.]
You're nothing like your mother.
You're good.
You'd be good.
You'd be a good mom.
[Meredith.]
It's the most important job in the world.
You probably should need a license to do it, but then most of us wouldn't even pass the written exam.
[Down tempo music playing.]
You ever wonder if moisturizer really works? What's in this stuff? I'm a doctor and I haven't even heard of half of it.
Dimethicone? No idea.
Distearyldi Hmm.
I can't even pronounce that, so [laughs.]
I want to have a baby.
And I can't talk about lotion or pound cake or anything else because you don't want to have a baby and I do.
So we're gonna talk about it.
Yeah.
We are gonna talk about it.
[Meredith.]
Some people are naturals.
They were born to do it.
Some have other gifts.
- Oh, you're making dinner.
- It's just pasta.
Smells good.
Are you baking bread? So You said you don't want to have kids.
What? - Your sausages are burning.
- They're fine.
- No, they're burning.
- Listen.
They're fine.
They're Damn it! [Sighs.]
I'm sorry.
Are you scared of me? I don't want to be.
I have to go back to Dr.
Wyatt.
It's OK.
It's OK.
It's OK.
[Meredith.]
But the good news is, biology dictates you don't have to do it alone.
- Hey.
- Hey.
I don't want you to be alone.
If anything should happen to me I don't want it to just be you.
Well, we would make pretty babies.
- So you're thinking about it.
- Oh, I'm thinking about it.
[Meredith.]
You can waste your whole life wondering, but the only way to find out what kind of parent you'd be is to finally stop talking about it But we're not making babies right now.
We're practicing.
It's very important to practice.
[Meredith.]
and just do it.
[Teddy moans.]
You taste good.
You have no idea how good you taste.
Mark, I Oh I'm really, really enjoying myself with you.
I am.
But I need to, um I need to be honest about something.
No, you don't, if you're honestly enjoying yourself.
I I am.
I am.
Then right now, that's as honest as you have to be.
- OK.
- Now, turn over.
I wanna try a little milk chocolate on your belly button.
[Doorbell rings.]
Ignore it.
They'll go away.
[Doorbell ringing.]
I'll get rid of them.
- [Doorbell ringing.]
- [Laughs.]
- [Gasping.]
- Sloan.
