Grey's Anatomy s13e11 Episode Script
Jukebox Hero
1 Previously on "Grey's Anatomy" Catherine: There is a fundamental flaw in how we are teaching our residents.
And we have got to fix this.
Who is Dr.
Eliza Minnick? Minnick's kind of a legend.
You'll just be observing the first few days anyway, getting a sense of how it works.
I thought you two were working together.
Richard: Bailey, who's running this program me or Eliza Minnick? Maggie: She thinks she's the new Residency Director, like she's Richard Webber's boss.
Richard: You don't want to hear my opinions about a program that I built, that I trained you in.
I made a decision about what is best for the hospital moving forward.
Look at that hand.
This is assault.
A pediatric surgeon walking around this hospital.
Do you realize what happens if you're convicted of a felony?! Mer, the trial's tomorrow.
It could be our last chance for like 8, 10 years.
Jo Wilson isn't my real name.
That's why I couldn't marry you.
It might all come out at the court tomorrow.
Bailey: Karev, what are you about to do? I'm going to the district attorney's tonight, and I'm gonna take the plea.
- He's going to prison.
- When? It's just us now.
There were five of us, and it can't be just me.
Woman: Mr.
Karev? He'll see you now.
Meredith: We all have heroes.
Maggie: So, this website's saying that we need a case record number.
The other one said that I needed his arrest-record number.
- Are those the same thing? - I don't know.
People we look up to, people we aspire to be, who teach us how to be greater than we are because they're greater than we are.
- Ugh.
Did you find it? - I'm looking.
They're great if we don't look too closely.
Well, I can't get any information about his case without that number.
Alex sent me an e-mail one time with an arraignment number on it or something - Try the "search" box.
- I'm searching.
Oh, maybe this.
Okay, "Locate current defendant using his" Yeah, no, still need the number.
- Okay, I found it! You ready? - Yes.
RDH4467A239.
'Cause if we get too close There it is there's his case.
we realize heroes are just regular people.
30 years to life.
He's gonna die in prison.
Wait.
That's not even his case.
- [Sighs.]
- I said "A," not "8.
" Oh, thank God.
- Do you need me to take over? - No, no, I got it.
Criminal case, blah, blah, blah - "Disposition.
" - Deposition.
That's good.
That means he's giving testimony.
So that means that he's in court, and he didn't take the plea, and he's not in prison at least, not yet.
Disposition.
Oh.
Okay.
On it.
And regular people can fail us.
Looks like criminal proceedings have been concluded, and indefinitely postponed.
So that means the trial's been cancelled.
Which means that Alex took a plea, which means that Alex is in prison.
Hey, this doesn't make any sense to me.
Does this make sense to you? No, you declared war on Eliza Minnick.
We're ready to throw down, and now you're just calling a truce before we even start? - Okay.
- [Knock on door.]
- Occupied! - Come back later! Maggie: It's me! [Sighs.]
Richard doesn't want to fight.
What? Why? That is not what I said at all.
You know what? I'm just gonna call a board meeting, or I'll loop in the Foundation.
We'll just go over her head.
I'll get her fired.
That doesn't sound like nepotism to you since Catherine's my wife and your mother? Wrongful termination.
Look, I'm not suggesting we back down.
I'm saying that we need to be smart.
Strategic, organized.
You just don't rush into battle.
That's what gets people killed.
I mean, think about Yorktown.
Look, we need to make her want to leave.
Because she's failing.
Robbins? You You with us? What, rough night? Yeah.
Have you heard from Alex? No.
Nothing.
We tried, but we can't figure out where they put him.
[Knock on door.]
Go away! It's Murphy.
I-I need Dr.
Robbins.
There's a laboring mom on her way.
Um, tell me if you hear anything, okay? Mm-hmm.
Uh, what? Oh, you guys haven't heard about Karev? [Indistinct conversations.]
Hey, um, Wilson.
Uh, I'm sorry.
What? Well, uh, about Karev.
You know, I I just thought Why are you sorry? You didn't put him in prison.
I did.
Morning, Dr.
Minnick.
First day.
Exciting.
- Hmm.
- I love first days.
- Such a feeling of - Yeah, this isn't gonna work.
Oh, no, no.
No, don't The valve replacement and the neuroblastoma debulking are happening around the same time, but I need to see both, so I'm moving one.
O-kay.
Oh, and this amputation's got to go Oh, no, no, no, you don't want to do that.
What is wrong with you? Okay.
No one touches the board except Chief Bailey.
If Chief Bailey even sees you lay a finger on it, she will take that finger, and she will kill you.
[Elevator bell dings.]
And you can't take my career to the next level if you're dead.
[Footsteps approaching.]
Ma'am.
Dr.
Minnick.
You rearranged.
I hope you don't mind.
One less thing for me to do.
Make it happen.
She touched the Uh, Edwards, excuse us.
Uh, I thought we should gather the attendings, let them know you're officially starting.
No, no.
I'm good.
I do this real slowly.
I win their hearts and minds, O.
R.
by O.
R.
, attending by attending.
I teach the technique, they start spreading the word, and then, suddenly, they realize I'm the best thing that ever happened to them.
Uh, some may need more convincing than others.
Chief, there is a Dr.
Webber everywhere I go.
I know how to deal with a Dr.
Webber.
Good morning, doctors! Chief.
And welcome to you, Dr.
Minnick.
Oh, thank you, really, but I don't do caffeine.
I don't need it.
Noted.
Okay, well, uh let's make it a good morning, everyone.
She's on her way here now, in a taxi.
Contractions are less than three minutes apart.
Her doctor's out of town.
I've set up a whole Page Portman, 'cause I've been up all night.
Portman's on call.
Portman is in a delivery, and the driver thinks this woman is having a baby right now.
So how are you talking to the driver? Oh, he's VideoChatting Aah! Aah! You're okay.
Uh, hello? Hi.
It's Dr.
Robbins.
Hey, yeah, um, we're about eight blocks away from you guys.
About how far apart are your contractions now? Okay, I don't know that.
All I know is, this lady is super having a baby right now, - and we're comin' in hot, okay? - [Elevator bell dings.]
I only have a few minutes.
Okay.
The battle has begun.
All right, guys, I've been working on this, um, petition from all of the attendings.
We can read it if you want No, no, we're past that, okay? - I did some recon.
- And? I think Minnick's plan is to go into the O.
R.
s and turn each attending one by one.
- Okay.
- We never let her in the O.
R.
We isolate the enemy, cut off her supply lines, starve her out.
- Great.
- Genius.
What? It's Dr.
Bailey, who I respect and like.
Look, she is the first black woman chief we've had at this hospital.
I'm not exactly excited to undermine her like this.
Jackson, no one wants this less than I do.
This isn't about Bailey.
This is about correcting a mistake that threatens our hospital.
This is not a Bailey problem.
This is an Eliza Minnick problem.
So we lock her out.
Okay.
- [Door closes.]
- Hi.
Uh, is she here? - Who? - Amelia.
She left last night.
She left a note.
She She's not here? - No.
- Meredith No, I don't know.
[Sighs.]
Then where do you think she'd I can't find her.
You have to find her.
Alex is in jail.
I have to find him.
You have Amelia, I have Alex.
Okay? Let me know when you know.
It was already bad when I first picked her up.
I tried to talk her through the breathing and everything, but she just yells.
- Aah! - That's okay.
- Are you guys close? - Aah! Like two blocks.
See, uh, that was her.
Yeah, we got that.
Steve It's "Steve," right? - Uh-huh.
- Um, hey, it's gonna be okay.
I'm gonna talk to Mindy for a second.
Okay.
Mindy, it's Dr.
Robbins.
Has your water broken? [Elevator bell dings.]
Yeah, I trashed this poor guy's car.
- Hey, it's fine.
- Aah! Ohh! I am gonna divorce my husband.
Aah! Aah! No, I'm gonna kill that son of a Big inhale.
[Breathes deeply.]
That jerk is out shopping right now.
Shopping! Can you believe it? I'm about to give birth in a freaking taxi! No, no, no, no, no! We're almost there! Mindy, hang on.
Oh! I feel like I'm crushing the baby.
I think I'm sitting on her head.
You're feeling the baby descend into the canal, so just lay back, scoot your butt up, put your feet up, and we'll be waiting for you in the parking lot, okay? - Yeah.
- You're almost here, right? Yeah.
Fire up an epidural.
- Where do I go? Here? - Straight! Straight! [Mindy screaming.]
[Tires screech.]
Mindy? [Siren wails.]
Excuse me! Maggie: All right, so you just need to look straight ahead.
We're gonna put this collar on, stabilize your neck.
Just look right here, lean forward.
Steve: No, I'm fine, really.
It's more my head than anything else.
But is she okay? I told her I was gonna get her here before her baby came.
Mindy? Mindy? Mindy? Tell me what you need.
Mindy Wallace, at term, in labor at time of impact.
Her ABCs intact, but she's unresponsive.
- [Mindy groans.]
- Responsive to pain.
All right, come on, Mindy, wake up for me, okay? Possible head injuries, bilateral hip dislocations.
She must have had her legs up on the dashboard.
What? Why? The way her legs are shattered.
Airbag deployed And the force shoved her legs into her chest and abdomen.
Moving to the E.
R.
Hey, how's your pregnant lady? She's bad.
Yeah.
Guy who hit them barely has a scratch on him.
- Oh, God.
Let me up! - Hey, sir! - Please! - Lay him down.
Lay him down.
- Mindy! - Please lay back.
Whoa, whoa.
You know her? That's my wife! She's having our baby! Oh, God, I hit my wife! - Mindy! - Just get him inside.
As soon as I'm done with this, hang two more units.
- Murphy, where's my art line? - I'm in.
All right, bandage, and get me a blood gas.
- Aah! - Mindy? Mindy, it's Dr.
Robbins.
- Can you talk to me? - Ow.
Ow.
What What's happening? You were in a car accident and you were pretty badly injured, but we're checking you out now.
My baby.
Is my baby Okay, all right.
There's the heartbeat.
It sounds really, really good.
Is my husband here? Is aah.
Aah! Okay, breathe, breathe, breathe.
The baby's coming, but you're not fully dilated.
Films coming up.
Pelvic fracture along with bilateral hip dislocations.
Is that the femoral head inside the pelvis? The pelvis is broken, trapping the baby's head.
Oh, my God.
Mindy, we're gonna take you for some CT scans.
I want to check for other internal injuries, okay? I'll meet you there.
If she starts to decompensate I will head right to the O.
R.
[Monitor beeping.]
What do we got? Bryan Wallace, 36, conscious status post T-bone MVC, G.
C.
S.
15, minor lacs.
C-spine clear.
- Did you see my wife? - Uh, I We're having a baby right now literally right now and I I need to know if she's okay.
Bryan, I'm Dr.
Robbins - Is Mindy okay? - Mindy's still in labor.
Her injuries are are pretty severe, so we're taking her up for scans, but I'm taking care of her both of them.
I'm I'm I'm doing everything I can.
Thank you.
Okay, I'll get a lac kit, and you order a head CT, please? - All right.
Bryan, can you feel this? - Yeah.
Edwards, you're on neuro today? Yes.
Um, is Shepherd here? No.
She said she was taking a few days' leave.
- But you spoke to her.
- No, I got an e-mail.
I'll need an ultrasound.
Okay, well, uh, let me know if you hear from her, okay? - Anything.
- All right.
Hey, Dr.
Riggs.
I am here and stoked to scrub in on your valve replacement.
Oh, that's unfortunate.
That was my valve replacement.
What? Yeah.
It went great.
I don't understand.
It was scheduled for right now, the next surgery.
Oh.
Maybe you misread the board.
I wrote it on the board.
Well, maybe you miswrote it.
Look, I would open him up again for you, but, you know, that kind of thing could get me arrested, so Cheers.
Maggie: He's not there? Nobody? Somebody has to know something.
Okay.
Good luck.
Was that Meredith? She can't find Alex? He's not in King County lockup or Tri-County.
Well, I was there last night, and I wouldn't wish that on anybody.
[Computer beeps.]
There.
Looks like a grade-2 splenic lac, and she's bleeding from her common iliac artery.
How is that baby okay? Okay, so we need to do a C-section and then repair all those bleeders.
- Yeah, absolutely.
- Okay, uh, Murphy, can you let the O.
R.
know we're coming? Yes.
Any pain when I press down here? Uh, no.
But my head still hurts, though.
Yeah, we're gonna take a look at that, too.
Man, it was crazy.
I was driving like a bat out of Hell.
How is that lady? Is she gonna be able to have her baby? Is Is the baby okay? Well, that's, uh that's hard to say.
Oh, right, yeah.
You probably can't tell me anything, anyway.
I mean, who am I? I'm not her family, just a taxi driver.
That's cool.
I get it.
Just kind of got invested.
We almost made it.
Almost.
Well, listen, I'm gonna order a head CT for you.
And, uh I'll see what I can find out.
Gonna order a head CT.
Is Minnick starting today? I think I saw her on the O.
R.
floor.
I know what you know.
Less, actually.
I didn't even know she was here today.
You're the Chief's husband, and you don't know anything? - No.
- What does that get you? Garth: Hey, can we get some help over here? Dude needs some help.
Started a fight in the third period.
'Cause you high-sticked me in the throat, you jag! 'Cause you got in the way of me scoring, asswipe.
I had a clean shot.
Look, let me take a look at it, all right? Oh.
Oh! That's from a hit to the throat? He went down, and I stepped on his face with my skate.
Unh! Accidentally! - Idiots.
- I think we'll page plastics.
Okay, we're gonna do a C-section right away.
Oh, God.
Okay.
Wait.
Is the baby No, but you're bleeding internally, and that's not good for either of you.
So we'll need to repair the bleeding, and then you'll need surgery to repair the hip fractures.
Okay.
And I'll I'll be unconscious the whole time? Yes, of course.
No, but can Bryan be there? For the baby? When she's born? Mindy, your injuries are too severe.
Please.
Please? He was supposed to be here to cut the cord, and her mom will be out cold.
She'll just be alone.
- I'm afraid - Of course he can.
Thank you.
He cannot be in that room.
He'll just be there for the C, and then he'll go, before we do repairs, just like a regular delivery.
It's not a regular delivery.
Well, it's the only one that they get, and I made this happen.
What? I told her to put her feet on the dashboard, and I made this so, so much worse for them.
Look, please let me make this one thing better.
Just for the birth.
Your labs look good.
Just waiting on your head-CT results.
Any word on the lady and her baby? Jury's still out.
Sorry.
You know, today started out so good.
You know, I pulled up, she was, like, huffin' and puffin'.
I told her, "Sit in front, sit in front," you know, so she could recline? And I said, "I'm gonna get you there.
I got you.
" I figured, "Either I get her to the hospital, or she's having this baby in my car.
" [Both chuckle.]
Either way, I was gonna go home and tell my kids, "Your daddy was a hero today.
" How'd it get from that to, like, everybody's dying? Yeah.
It happens.
Yeah.
Sucks, is what it does.
Jo: That's not the point, genius.
Your little testosterone game could've cost him his life! Is that what you wanted to kill someone over a stupid game? Excuse me.
Is there a problem here? No problem.
Wait here for your studies.
You think I could, uh, get her number? Shut up.
You, um, sure you're okay? I'm awesome.
Well, have you heard anything else? About Karev? About how long he's gonna be Why would I know that? I don't I just Listen, if you need anything, if there's anything I can do I need to finish working up my patient.
Right.
[Indistinct conversations.]
Woman: You should go on the website.
I have been on the website.
I've been all over the website.
That's why I came here to talk to someone in person.
Can you please help me? - Please? - Give me the info.
It's Karev.
- Where's the Social? - I'm sorry? The Social Security Number.
It's not on here.
Oh, I don't have that.
Next in line.
- Wait.
Is there any other - Yeah.
Go on the website.
Next in line.
We need to get that baby out A.
S.
A.
P.
No problem.
I've actually assisted on - several emergency C-sections.
- You'll take my lead.
Sounds like the perfect reason to let Murphy jump in.
Dr.
Minnick, hi.
I heard about your trauma.
I'm gonna pop in there, okay? - That would be amazing.
- No, thanks.
Oh, and, apparently, we need to hire a new Peds Surgery Chief.
Seems ours went up the river.
[Scoffs.]
Murphy, um, can you go make sure that Mindy is set up in the scanner? You're not welcome on my case.
I'm not actually asking.
It's my job.
Well, I'm actually telling you.
It's my patient.
And your patient is my student's classroom.
That seems like a very distasteful way of referring to a woman who just suffered a medical trauma giving birth to a baby.
Whose name is Mindy, by the way.
And Richard Webber, he's a friend of mine, so you can stay the hell away from my O.
R.
What are you doing? Nothing.
Aren't those Bryan Wallace's head CTs? Uh, yeah.
Yeah.
I can't tell if this is a subtle intraventricular hemorrhage or artifact, so thought I'd run it up to the third floor, see if I can get a neuro consult on the fly.
Right.
Shouldn't take long.
So, if you can't find me, that's where I am.
Jackson: Barely missed his eye.
Could've even severed his parotid duct.
We'll see more once we get in there.
Dr.
Avery, how are you? Dr.
Minnick.
First day? Officially.
I'm just going to tour the O.
R.
s to get my feet wet.
This the hockey kid that got the worst of it? Yeah, yeah.
He, uh He took a stick to the neck and a skate to the face.
Full facial deglovement.
Wow.
Dr.
Warren, right? Mm-hmm.
Have you ever had one of those before? - No.
- But I bet you've done a hand.
The method we're using now, we can teach Warren how to build on the skills that he has already learned, and he'll go faster - It's not a hand.
- I know.
- But I think she means - It's a face.
It's his face.
This is this young man's future we're talking about, his entrance into the room, his hello to this world.
It's his first impression on employers, his glance across a crowded bar at his future spouse.
I am saving the thing his mother loves the most.
Wow.
You're fancy.
And you just want to waltz in here and have our young surgeons practice on all of that? Because what? 'Cause he did a hand? - Are you kidding? - Then when will he learn? On another surgery or two, or three maybe.
Not on this one.
You know what, Warren? Why don't you just, uh, cover the pit? I'll have Mitchell assist.
Does anyone ever get taught around here? We'll say hi, and then you'll go out before they intubate her.
How do I tell her? How do I tell her this is all my fault? You don't.
Not now.
You wait till you get your baby and Mindy's safely out of surgery, and then we take it from there.
Okay? Can we dance Yeah.
- Yeah.
- A little longer? Thank you.
While the wind blusters Oh.
Hey, you.
Hey.
This is not how we pictured, huh? No.
Nope.
There's gonna be blood.
I know.
Okay.
Don't faint.
[Chuckles.]
He's squeamish, in a big way.
I'm I'm I I'll be fine.
Say hi to her for me, okay? Oh, honey, your face.
What happened? I'm so sorry.
What? Why? It was me.
In the other car I hit you.
What? It's all my fault.
[Monitors beeping.]
Okay, Bryan, we need to get started.
Oh, no, wait, wait Mindy, you're gonna feel a little drowsy Mindy, I'm so sorry.
I love you so much.
It was you? When the war is over Okay.
Let's have a baby.
Dr.
Webber, how are you? Oh, there she is.
How's that first day? I'm actually having trouble finding my way into O.
R.
s.
Everyone seems to have full tables or patients so dire, they can't afford extra people.
Dr.
Robbins, Dr.
Riggs, Dr.
Inaba Oh.
Tough breaks.
Was there a problem with the way I arranged the board this morning? Uh, you used lower-case letters.
So? It's still legible.
It's a little passive-aggressive, don't you think? - Mm.
- We prefer caps.
Ah.
Chief Bailey told me to handle the O.
R.
board as I see fit today.
Is that right? It is.
Then, I'll leave you to it.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
He took the pen.
Oh, man.
It's all right, Bryan.
Get ready to meet your girl, 'cause here she comes.
[Chuckles.]
- [Monitor beeping loudly.]
- No.
No, no.
I got to get in there.
Robbins? - Pack her uterus.
Metz? - Bryan, you need to go.
Baby looks a little cyanotic.
Can you put her under the warmer and see if she perks up? - Why isn't she crying? - Get him out of here! Right angle.
Robbins, pass me the vessel loop.
- What? What is it? - Bryan, your baby's having a little trouble breathing, but it's okay.
And we need to control your wife's bleeding from the trauma.
If you can't ventilate, then you need to get her intubated, get her up to the NICU, and get a full work-up.
Mosquito.
Hang two more units.
Oh, God.
Oh, God! Somebody get him out of here! [Monitor beeping loudly.]
Hey! I'm here for about two minutes.
Here are the scans that you asked for.
You know, you said you were taking a leave.
You can actually take a leave.
- These are the dad's? - Yeah.
Closed-head trauma.
- CT looked clear, but then I saw this.
- Yeah, I see what you mean.
How is his family? Is the baby okay? God, they just wanted a happy ending, and boom, ran into each other.
No, this is just artifact.
CT's clear.
Good.
And this the driver's.
You had the yogurt? Yeah, I I was hungry.
He's good, too.
I think Dr.
Hunt knows.
I had to lie to him, and that feels I'm sorry.
I will go to a hotel.
I'm This is unfair.
I know.
It's a terrible imposition.
No, it's fine.
You Hm.
It's not a big deal.
You are welcome.
It's just y That was my last yogurt.
I will go to a hotel.
Just go to a store.
He looks miserable and he's scared to death for you, and I don't want to lie to your husband anymore, so can I just tell him something, please? - No.
- Wh Because he will try to fix it.
And it can't be fixed.
Okay.
Okay.
Thank you.
Maggie: Give me the PTFE graft and 5-0 prolene.
That is exactly what I was talking about.
Mayos.
I could've told you exactly how that would play out.
Yeah, I know, I was here.
I didn't think you could make it any worse for that poor guy Just stop it, Pierce, please! DeBakey pickups.
Dr.
Robbins, chest X-rays show their baby has a diaphragmatic hernia.
All right, is she intubated? Yeah, but still de-satting.
All right, let's put her on ECMO.
Have a 5-0 ready.
Go, Murphy.
- You're not coming? - No.
I have to make sure that this baby's mother - doesn't bleed to death.
- I've never put a baby on ECMO.
Call the peds surgeon that's on call and get help, figure it out.
You can do this, okay? Go.
Scissors? Hey.
Hey, buddy.
[Man wheezing.]
I haven't heard anything about your pregnant lady yet.
Cool, yeah, thanks, but, this dude, is this guy breathing funny? [Wheezing continues.]
Oh, damn it.
Damn it! He dropped a lung.
Can I get a nurse over here?! I need an X-ray and chest-tube tray! And set up for intubation! Has anybody seen Wilson?! Is the baby on ECMO? Did you get help? I-I found someone to help me, but she's still unstable.
There's too much pressure on the mediastinum.
She's not oxygenating or perfusing well despite the heart-lung bypass.
And she's still hang on.
Another clamp.
Hang more FFP.
Right angle.
Dr.
Robbins, this baby's tanking.
I think we need to get her into the O.
R.
Who's with you? Barton.
Ugh! Barton's no good for this.
- You should go.
- I need to be here.
No, you don't.
Hey, you didn't do this.
A car did this.
I need to be two people.
I need Alex.
Well, Alex isn't here.
Go.
I've got this.
- I'm ready to go.
- Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa! Hey, hey! Hey, hey, stop! We thought we'd get her ready to go.
We We've tried everything.
She's just too sick.
Yeah, well, you're right about that one.
- All right, should we move? - No, we don't have time.
Betadine and drape her.
All right, start prepping the room! Let's get some gowns and gloves in here! - What are you doing? - You're right.
She's too sick to move.
I need a surgical tray right here, right now! Karev K-A-R-E-V.
Nope.
He's not in the computer.
I don't have him.
Okay, so, can we call around to some other jails? Sure.
'Cause this is Saks Fifth Avenue.
Okay.
Right.
Okay, thanks.
Woman: Sterilization team to O.
R.
Recovery.
Hey.
Oh, hey, Bryan Wallace's head CT is clear.
I just discharged him.
Oh.
Who'd you find to take a look at it? Dr.
Morton.
Oh.
Bryan asked me for an update on his wife and baby, so I'm heading up there now.
Okay.
Hey, how about the cab driver? Uh, yeah, she cleared him, too.
Oh.
She? I thought you said it was Morton.
He, I mean.
Anyway, cab driver's clear.
I told Warren.
Uh, well, find me when you get the update.
We'll go talk to Bryan together.
Yep.
Yeah.
[Breathes deeply.]
What happened? Uh, rib fractures must've punctured a lung.
Anything more from the chest tube? Bleeding slowed down.
Only 400 cc in the pleurovac.
Yeah, we'll need to stabilize his ribs.
In the O.
R.
I'll join you.
And before you tell me no, I spent all day rearranging my schedule, thanks to you.
I was hired here to do a job, and I think it's time I would love to have you.
- What? - Warren, book an O.
R.
Richard: Okay, you see here, Warren? This rib punctured the lung.
Why doesn't hockey just ban the fighting? Are you kidding? It's part of the game the good part.
You got to shake up the other team or get your own team going.
Garth is the enforcer.
Now, his job is to go in and take out the skills player upset the other team.
Seems he's pretty good at it.
Fights can be strategic, too.
A fight can change momentum, clear the air, break a stalemate.
It also rallies the team against a common enemy.
Well, this is fascinating.
And I thought I was just gonna learn about surgery.
Oh, no, Dr.
Warren, it's me who's being schooled tonight.
Isn't that why you allowed me into an O.
R.
? I just wanted to see how you "deal with a Dr.
Webber.
" You don't want to have this fight, sir.
Someone always tries to, and they always get on board or get left behind.
You said fighting is the good part, right? Well, I hope you meant it.
[Indistinct announcement on PA.]
Hey, how goes the battle for hearts and minds? Well, change doesn't happen overnight.
Well, that sounds like someone who's won no hearts or minds.
It's always hard at first.
They push back.
Eventually, everyone gets on the same page.
That's not how it works in my hospital.
I'll call a meeting.
Dr.
Bailey, you're only gonna make this harder This is not a fight you should be having, Dr.
Minnick.
I'll call a meeting.
Leah: You do this a lot? Get a 10 French chest tube ready.
Major surgery on a newborn right here? The baby would die on the elevator.
And the mom might already be so we need to go, all right? Let's just Let's do this.
Scalpel.
Murphy, you gonna assist or what? Dr.
Pierce was able to stop Mindy's internal bleeding.
Um, she's closing her right now.
What does that mean? Uh, when can I see her? Is she Sweetheart, would you wake up today? When will she wake up? Will she wake up? I promise you We don't know.
We have to see how she responds.
Oh, God.
I wanna show you how I've grown in this place And the baby? Dr.
Robbins has asked me to tell you your baby is in surgery.
Surgery? Is she okay? As soon as we know anything [Exhales.]
I was in a baby store when I got the call.
Isn't that weird? I just bought her this tiny little hat.
It was the first thing I ever picked out for her.
It's like, this morning, I knew what my future was, you know? And now I might not have a baby.
Or a wife.
Or what if she wakes up and doesn't forgive me? What if she never wants to see me again? Oh, you won't believe the wonders I can see This world is changing me But I love you faithfully Is she okay? Is she sober? Just tell me that.
She's safe.
You don't have to worry.
But I'm feeling guilty Tell her to come home.
Tell her it'll be fine, and we'll be The wonders I can see Just tell her to come home.
This world is changing me But I love you faithfully She's onto us.
- Already? - Yeah.
Damn it! We have to escalate the plan.
Hey, you guys get this e-mail from the Chief? What? "Emergency meeting"? Yeah, it's to all the attendings.
Except me.
What's our next step? I have an idea.
Okay.
Yeah.
[Breathes deeply.]
She's gonna be okay? Really? Yeah.
It was a good repair, and I do a lot of them.
Thank God.
Thank God she's okay.
Bryan Mindy's injuries were much worse than they could have been because her feet were up on the dashboard, and Yeah, they said, the airbag I told her to put them up there.
The baby was coming, and she was in a lot of pain, and and I asked her to put her feet up on the dashboard to relieve the pressure.
But I didn't I didn't mean to make it worse.
I did not I did not mean to hurt her.
You didn't.
You were just trying to help.
You didn't hurt her.
I did.
You were trying to get to her, to get to them both.
You were just You were trying to get here.
Okay? Okay.
They're just 10 minutes late.
But all of them? - [Clears throat.]
- Where are they? I have no idea.
Operating, teaching, molding the surgeons of tomorrow Or maybe just sending a message.
Oh, they've been sending their message all day.
Dr.
Minnick, will you excuse us? No, please.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Okay.
So, this is mutiny.
Call it what you want.
Why are you doing this? You yourself said you like Minnick's approach.
It's not what you're doing.
It's how you've done it.
It's too abrupt.
The program suffers.
Butt-hurt.
I beg your pardon? You're butt-hurt.
That's what Tuck calls it when you get all bent out of shape and mopey over something you shouldn't because you're embarrassed.
You're forcing a change nobody asked for.
This is not about my butt.
- You really want to do this? - I haven't done anything You really want to do this to me?! Look, Bailey, it's not just me.
It's not just you.
People are angry about your treatment of me, about your direction of this program.
It was a bad call.
And you can walk it back.
People also felt the need for change and adaptation.
People recognized that "the way we've always done it" isn't always the best way and that a a fresh perspective doesn't have to be a threat.
So, I'm gonna walk on.
"People," huh? Who? It's not just me.
Sir, I signed your discharge papers.
You're good to go.
Oh, yeah.
No, I I just kind of wanted to know how that family made out.
'Cause I can't just go home and wonder, you know? It's, uh, still a question mark.
Sorry.
Oh.
Damn.
Okay.
Thanks.
Night.
Night.
Hey! Sir? Sir.
That kid in the bed next to you, the one who couldn't breathe? Uh, the hockey player? Yeah.
Yeah, well, it turns out that he had internal bleeding.
Would've killed him if you hadn't caught it.
You saved that kid's life.
For real? For real.
Whoo-hoo! Meredith: Our heroes aren't special.
They're just people.
They're like us.
They're just trying to survive.
Uh Hunt wants you to come home.
How'd that family turn out? Uh, good.
She's not out of the woods yet, but everyone's still alive.
Good.
That's good.
Good.
Uh I'm gonna turn in, if that's all right.
Good night.
They're trying to be happy.
Trying to do better, be better, feel better.
Hey, Dr.
Robbins, wait up.
Hey, um, Dr.
Minnick I've been awake for more than 48 hours, so I'm gonna This'll just take a second.
[Sighs.]
- I wanted to thank you.
- What? Murphy told me you let her run with that baby from the trauma.
That's the spirit.
That's really putting my method to work.
Good to have you on board.
Good night.
Heroes aren't more special, more courageous than the rest of us.
After all, they're only human.
[Sighs.]
You're not okay.
What? That hockey kid today? He dropped a lung.
We had to take him up to the O.
R.
Where were you? I was in Path.
I was getting a culture.
Come on.
You've been in your head all day.
It's fine, 'cause I covered for you, but talk to someone.
Work it out.
What do you need, Warren? Do you need me to be fragile? Do you need me to fall apart? - Oh, come on, now.
- Would that help you? Because you keep looking at me with your eyes all soft like you want to help me, you want to make me feel better.
I don't need to feel better.
I don't need your sympathy.
Stuff like this happens, and I am built for it.
I'm fine.
Leave me alone.
They hurt, they break, they bleed.
Perfect pictures torn in two Pick your moments, surely do And what the hell got into you, anyway? Andrew: Hey.
Road like silver, sky like silk You okay? Uh You drain that car part, till it melt, away - Is it a patient? - No.
But yeah.
Yeah, that, too.
Do you want to talk about it? I can't.
It's not something you want to hear about.
Open the door Until the dark can walk right in Okay.
I miss Alex.
And I know that that's not fair to say to you, but it's true.
I hate that he's gone.
I just I hate it.
But sometimes, every once in a while What? when it matters, they get it right, and that changes everything.
Hey.
Anything? Three counties, four jails nothing.
No one will tell me anything.
Maybe they're still processing him? You'll find out tomorrow what happened.
Well, I know what happened.
He's gone.
That's what happened.
A hero is only human, but that's the point.
If they can do it, so can you.
Did Owen find Amelia? Amelia? Where's Amelia? Where is everybody?! [Sighs.]
I'm dirty.
I stink.
I need to wash off this day.
They wouldn't leave They wouldn't leave [Door closes.]
So you keep going.
You don't give up.
You stand tall.
You fight.
[Sighs.]
They wouldn't leave - Aah! Alex?! - What the hell, Mer? Alex? You always show up to save the day.
Oh! They wouldn't leave [Chuckles.]
They wouldn't leave Wait.
I've been looking for you all day.
I've been here.
I've been sleeping.
All day? All day.
And we have got to fix this.
Who is Dr.
Eliza Minnick? Minnick's kind of a legend.
You'll just be observing the first few days anyway, getting a sense of how it works.
I thought you two were working together.
Richard: Bailey, who's running this program me or Eliza Minnick? Maggie: She thinks she's the new Residency Director, like she's Richard Webber's boss.
Richard: You don't want to hear my opinions about a program that I built, that I trained you in.
I made a decision about what is best for the hospital moving forward.
Look at that hand.
This is assault.
A pediatric surgeon walking around this hospital.
Do you realize what happens if you're convicted of a felony?! Mer, the trial's tomorrow.
It could be our last chance for like 8, 10 years.
Jo Wilson isn't my real name.
That's why I couldn't marry you.
It might all come out at the court tomorrow.
Bailey: Karev, what are you about to do? I'm going to the district attorney's tonight, and I'm gonna take the plea.
- He's going to prison.
- When? It's just us now.
There were five of us, and it can't be just me.
Woman: Mr.
Karev? He'll see you now.
Meredith: We all have heroes.
Maggie: So, this website's saying that we need a case record number.
The other one said that I needed his arrest-record number.
- Are those the same thing? - I don't know.
People we look up to, people we aspire to be, who teach us how to be greater than we are because they're greater than we are.
- Ugh.
Did you find it? - I'm looking.
They're great if we don't look too closely.
Well, I can't get any information about his case without that number.
Alex sent me an e-mail one time with an arraignment number on it or something - Try the "search" box.
- I'm searching.
Oh, maybe this.
Okay, "Locate current defendant using his" Yeah, no, still need the number.
- Okay, I found it! You ready? - Yes.
RDH4467A239.
'Cause if we get too close There it is there's his case.
we realize heroes are just regular people.
30 years to life.
He's gonna die in prison.
Wait.
That's not even his case.
- [Sighs.]
- I said "A," not "8.
" Oh, thank God.
- Do you need me to take over? - No, no, I got it.
Criminal case, blah, blah, blah - "Disposition.
" - Deposition.
That's good.
That means he's giving testimony.
So that means that he's in court, and he didn't take the plea, and he's not in prison at least, not yet.
Disposition.
Oh.
Okay.
On it.
And regular people can fail us.
Looks like criminal proceedings have been concluded, and indefinitely postponed.
So that means the trial's been cancelled.
Which means that Alex took a plea, which means that Alex is in prison.
Hey, this doesn't make any sense to me.
Does this make sense to you? No, you declared war on Eliza Minnick.
We're ready to throw down, and now you're just calling a truce before we even start? - Okay.
- [Knock on door.]
- Occupied! - Come back later! Maggie: It's me! [Sighs.]
Richard doesn't want to fight.
What? Why? That is not what I said at all.
You know what? I'm just gonna call a board meeting, or I'll loop in the Foundation.
We'll just go over her head.
I'll get her fired.
That doesn't sound like nepotism to you since Catherine's my wife and your mother? Wrongful termination.
Look, I'm not suggesting we back down.
I'm saying that we need to be smart.
Strategic, organized.
You just don't rush into battle.
That's what gets people killed.
I mean, think about Yorktown.
Look, we need to make her want to leave.
Because she's failing.
Robbins? You You with us? What, rough night? Yeah.
Have you heard from Alex? No.
Nothing.
We tried, but we can't figure out where they put him.
[Knock on door.]
Go away! It's Murphy.
I-I need Dr.
Robbins.
There's a laboring mom on her way.
Um, tell me if you hear anything, okay? Mm-hmm.
Uh, what? Oh, you guys haven't heard about Karev? [Indistinct conversations.]
Hey, um, Wilson.
Uh, I'm sorry.
What? Well, uh, about Karev.
You know, I I just thought Why are you sorry? You didn't put him in prison.
I did.
Morning, Dr.
Minnick.
First day.
Exciting.
- Hmm.
- I love first days.
- Such a feeling of - Yeah, this isn't gonna work.
Oh, no, no.
No, don't The valve replacement and the neuroblastoma debulking are happening around the same time, but I need to see both, so I'm moving one.
O-kay.
Oh, and this amputation's got to go Oh, no, no, no, you don't want to do that.
What is wrong with you? Okay.
No one touches the board except Chief Bailey.
If Chief Bailey even sees you lay a finger on it, she will take that finger, and she will kill you.
[Elevator bell dings.]
And you can't take my career to the next level if you're dead.
[Footsteps approaching.]
Ma'am.
Dr.
Minnick.
You rearranged.
I hope you don't mind.
One less thing for me to do.
Make it happen.
She touched the Uh, Edwards, excuse us.
Uh, I thought we should gather the attendings, let them know you're officially starting.
No, no.
I'm good.
I do this real slowly.
I win their hearts and minds, O.
R.
by O.
R.
, attending by attending.
I teach the technique, they start spreading the word, and then, suddenly, they realize I'm the best thing that ever happened to them.
Uh, some may need more convincing than others.
Chief, there is a Dr.
Webber everywhere I go.
I know how to deal with a Dr.
Webber.
Good morning, doctors! Chief.
And welcome to you, Dr.
Minnick.
Oh, thank you, really, but I don't do caffeine.
I don't need it.
Noted.
Okay, well, uh let's make it a good morning, everyone.
She's on her way here now, in a taxi.
Contractions are less than three minutes apart.
Her doctor's out of town.
I've set up a whole Page Portman, 'cause I've been up all night.
Portman's on call.
Portman is in a delivery, and the driver thinks this woman is having a baby right now.
So how are you talking to the driver? Oh, he's VideoChatting Aah! Aah! You're okay.
Uh, hello? Hi.
It's Dr.
Robbins.
Hey, yeah, um, we're about eight blocks away from you guys.
About how far apart are your contractions now? Okay, I don't know that.
All I know is, this lady is super having a baby right now, - and we're comin' in hot, okay? - [Elevator bell dings.]
I only have a few minutes.
Okay.
The battle has begun.
All right, guys, I've been working on this, um, petition from all of the attendings.
We can read it if you want No, no, we're past that, okay? - I did some recon.
- And? I think Minnick's plan is to go into the O.
R.
s and turn each attending one by one.
- Okay.
- We never let her in the O.
R.
We isolate the enemy, cut off her supply lines, starve her out.
- Great.
- Genius.
What? It's Dr.
Bailey, who I respect and like.
Look, she is the first black woman chief we've had at this hospital.
I'm not exactly excited to undermine her like this.
Jackson, no one wants this less than I do.
This isn't about Bailey.
This is about correcting a mistake that threatens our hospital.
This is not a Bailey problem.
This is an Eliza Minnick problem.
So we lock her out.
Okay.
- [Door closes.]
- Hi.
Uh, is she here? - Who? - Amelia.
She left last night.
She left a note.
She She's not here? - No.
- Meredith No, I don't know.
[Sighs.]
Then where do you think she'd I can't find her.
You have to find her.
Alex is in jail.
I have to find him.
You have Amelia, I have Alex.
Okay? Let me know when you know.
It was already bad when I first picked her up.
I tried to talk her through the breathing and everything, but she just yells.
- Aah! - That's okay.
- Are you guys close? - Aah! Like two blocks.
See, uh, that was her.
Yeah, we got that.
Steve It's "Steve," right? - Uh-huh.
- Um, hey, it's gonna be okay.
I'm gonna talk to Mindy for a second.
Okay.
Mindy, it's Dr.
Robbins.
Has your water broken? [Elevator bell dings.]
Yeah, I trashed this poor guy's car.
- Hey, it's fine.
- Aah! Ohh! I am gonna divorce my husband.
Aah! Aah! No, I'm gonna kill that son of a Big inhale.
[Breathes deeply.]
That jerk is out shopping right now.
Shopping! Can you believe it? I'm about to give birth in a freaking taxi! No, no, no, no, no! We're almost there! Mindy, hang on.
Oh! I feel like I'm crushing the baby.
I think I'm sitting on her head.
You're feeling the baby descend into the canal, so just lay back, scoot your butt up, put your feet up, and we'll be waiting for you in the parking lot, okay? - Yeah.
- You're almost here, right? Yeah.
Fire up an epidural.
- Where do I go? Here? - Straight! Straight! [Mindy screaming.]
[Tires screech.]
Mindy? [Siren wails.]
Excuse me! Maggie: All right, so you just need to look straight ahead.
We're gonna put this collar on, stabilize your neck.
Just look right here, lean forward.
Steve: No, I'm fine, really.
It's more my head than anything else.
But is she okay? I told her I was gonna get her here before her baby came.
Mindy? Mindy? Mindy? Tell me what you need.
Mindy Wallace, at term, in labor at time of impact.
Her ABCs intact, but she's unresponsive.
- [Mindy groans.]
- Responsive to pain.
All right, come on, Mindy, wake up for me, okay? Possible head injuries, bilateral hip dislocations.
She must have had her legs up on the dashboard.
What? Why? The way her legs are shattered.
Airbag deployed And the force shoved her legs into her chest and abdomen.
Moving to the E.
R.
Hey, how's your pregnant lady? She's bad.
Yeah.
Guy who hit them barely has a scratch on him.
- Oh, God.
Let me up! - Hey, sir! - Please! - Lay him down.
Lay him down.
- Mindy! - Please lay back.
Whoa, whoa.
You know her? That's my wife! She's having our baby! Oh, God, I hit my wife! - Mindy! - Just get him inside.
As soon as I'm done with this, hang two more units.
- Murphy, where's my art line? - I'm in.
All right, bandage, and get me a blood gas.
- Aah! - Mindy? Mindy, it's Dr.
Robbins.
- Can you talk to me? - Ow.
Ow.
What What's happening? You were in a car accident and you were pretty badly injured, but we're checking you out now.
My baby.
Is my baby Okay, all right.
There's the heartbeat.
It sounds really, really good.
Is my husband here? Is aah.
Aah! Okay, breathe, breathe, breathe.
The baby's coming, but you're not fully dilated.
Films coming up.
Pelvic fracture along with bilateral hip dislocations.
Is that the femoral head inside the pelvis? The pelvis is broken, trapping the baby's head.
Oh, my God.
Mindy, we're gonna take you for some CT scans.
I want to check for other internal injuries, okay? I'll meet you there.
If she starts to decompensate I will head right to the O.
R.
[Monitor beeping.]
What do we got? Bryan Wallace, 36, conscious status post T-bone MVC, G.
C.
S.
15, minor lacs.
C-spine clear.
- Did you see my wife? - Uh, I We're having a baby right now literally right now and I I need to know if she's okay.
Bryan, I'm Dr.
Robbins - Is Mindy okay? - Mindy's still in labor.
Her injuries are are pretty severe, so we're taking her up for scans, but I'm taking care of her both of them.
I'm I'm I'm doing everything I can.
Thank you.
Okay, I'll get a lac kit, and you order a head CT, please? - All right.
Bryan, can you feel this? - Yeah.
Edwards, you're on neuro today? Yes.
Um, is Shepherd here? No.
She said she was taking a few days' leave.
- But you spoke to her.
- No, I got an e-mail.
I'll need an ultrasound.
Okay, well, uh, let me know if you hear from her, okay? - Anything.
- All right.
Hey, Dr.
Riggs.
I am here and stoked to scrub in on your valve replacement.
Oh, that's unfortunate.
That was my valve replacement.
What? Yeah.
It went great.
I don't understand.
It was scheduled for right now, the next surgery.
Oh.
Maybe you misread the board.
I wrote it on the board.
Well, maybe you miswrote it.
Look, I would open him up again for you, but, you know, that kind of thing could get me arrested, so Cheers.
Maggie: He's not there? Nobody? Somebody has to know something.
Okay.
Good luck.
Was that Meredith? She can't find Alex? He's not in King County lockup or Tri-County.
Well, I was there last night, and I wouldn't wish that on anybody.
[Computer beeps.]
There.
Looks like a grade-2 splenic lac, and she's bleeding from her common iliac artery.
How is that baby okay? Okay, so we need to do a C-section and then repair all those bleeders.
- Yeah, absolutely.
- Okay, uh, Murphy, can you let the O.
R.
know we're coming? Yes.
Any pain when I press down here? Uh, no.
But my head still hurts, though.
Yeah, we're gonna take a look at that, too.
Man, it was crazy.
I was driving like a bat out of Hell.
How is that lady? Is she gonna be able to have her baby? Is Is the baby okay? Well, that's, uh that's hard to say.
Oh, right, yeah.
You probably can't tell me anything, anyway.
I mean, who am I? I'm not her family, just a taxi driver.
That's cool.
I get it.
Just kind of got invested.
We almost made it.
Almost.
Well, listen, I'm gonna order a head CT for you.
And, uh I'll see what I can find out.
Gonna order a head CT.
Is Minnick starting today? I think I saw her on the O.
R.
floor.
I know what you know.
Less, actually.
I didn't even know she was here today.
You're the Chief's husband, and you don't know anything? - No.
- What does that get you? Garth: Hey, can we get some help over here? Dude needs some help.
Started a fight in the third period.
'Cause you high-sticked me in the throat, you jag! 'Cause you got in the way of me scoring, asswipe.
I had a clean shot.
Look, let me take a look at it, all right? Oh.
Oh! That's from a hit to the throat? He went down, and I stepped on his face with my skate.
Unh! Accidentally! - Idiots.
- I think we'll page plastics.
Okay, we're gonna do a C-section right away.
Oh, God.
Okay.
Wait.
Is the baby No, but you're bleeding internally, and that's not good for either of you.
So we'll need to repair the bleeding, and then you'll need surgery to repair the hip fractures.
Okay.
And I'll I'll be unconscious the whole time? Yes, of course.
No, but can Bryan be there? For the baby? When she's born? Mindy, your injuries are too severe.
Please.
Please? He was supposed to be here to cut the cord, and her mom will be out cold.
She'll just be alone.
- I'm afraid - Of course he can.
Thank you.
He cannot be in that room.
He'll just be there for the C, and then he'll go, before we do repairs, just like a regular delivery.
It's not a regular delivery.
Well, it's the only one that they get, and I made this happen.
What? I told her to put her feet on the dashboard, and I made this so, so much worse for them.
Look, please let me make this one thing better.
Just for the birth.
Your labs look good.
Just waiting on your head-CT results.
Any word on the lady and her baby? Jury's still out.
Sorry.
You know, today started out so good.
You know, I pulled up, she was, like, huffin' and puffin'.
I told her, "Sit in front, sit in front," you know, so she could recline? And I said, "I'm gonna get you there.
I got you.
" I figured, "Either I get her to the hospital, or she's having this baby in my car.
" [Both chuckle.]
Either way, I was gonna go home and tell my kids, "Your daddy was a hero today.
" How'd it get from that to, like, everybody's dying? Yeah.
It happens.
Yeah.
Sucks, is what it does.
Jo: That's not the point, genius.
Your little testosterone game could've cost him his life! Is that what you wanted to kill someone over a stupid game? Excuse me.
Is there a problem here? No problem.
Wait here for your studies.
You think I could, uh, get her number? Shut up.
You, um, sure you're okay? I'm awesome.
Well, have you heard anything else? About Karev? About how long he's gonna be Why would I know that? I don't I just Listen, if you need anything, if there's anything I can do I need to finish working up my patient.
Right.
[Indistinct conversations.]
Woman: You should go on the website.
I have been on the website.
I've been all over the website.
That's why I came here to talk to someone in person.
Can you please help me? - Please? - Give me the info.
It's Karev.
- Where's the Social? - I'm sorry? The Social Security Number.
It's not on here.
Oh, I don't have that.
Next in line.
- Wait.
Is there any other - Yeah.
Go on the website.
Next in line.
We need to get that baby out A.
S.
A.
P.
No problem.
I've actually assisted on - several emergency C-sections.
- You'll take my lead.
Sounds like the perfect reason to let Murphy jump in.
Dr.
Minnick, hi.
I heard about your trauma.
I'm gonna pop in there, okay? - That would be amazing.
- No, thanks.
Oh, and, apparently, we need to hire a new Peds Surgery Chief.
Seems ours went up the river.
[Scoffs.]
Murphy, um, can you go make sure that Mindy is set up in the scanner? You're not welcome on my case.
I'm not actually asking.
It's my job.
Well, I'm actually telling you.
It's my patient.
And your patient is my student's classroom.
That seems like a very distasteful way of referring to a woman who just suffered a medical trauma giving birth to a baby.
Whose name is Mindy, by the way.
And Richard Webber, he's a friend of mine, so you can stay the hell away from my O.
R.
What are you doing? Nothing.
Aren't those Bryan Wallace's head CTs? Uh, yeah.
Yeah.
I can't tell if this is a subtle intraventricular hemorrhage or artifact, so thought I'd run it up to the third floor, see if I can get a neuro consult on the fly.
Right.
Shouldn't take long.
So, if you can't find me, that's where I am.
Jackson: Barely missed his eye.
Could've even severed his parotid duct.
We'll see more once we get in there.
Dr.
Avery, how are you? Dr.
Minnick.
First day? Officially.
I'm just going to tour the O.
R.
s to get my feet wet.
This the hockey kid that got the worst of it? Yeah, yeah.
He, uh He took a stick to the neck and a skate to the face.
Full facial deglovement.
Wow.
Dr.
Warren, right? Mm-hmm.
Have you ever had one of those before? - No.
- But I bet you've done a hand.
The method we're using now, we can teach Warren how to build on the skills that he has already learned, and he'll go faster - It's not a hand.
- I know.
- But I think she means - It's a face.
It's his face.
This is this young man's future we're talking about, his entrance into the room, his hello to this world.
It's his first impression on employers, his glance across a crowded bar at his future spouse.
I am saving the thing his mother loves the most.
Wow.
You're fancy.
And you just want to waltz in here and have our young surgeons practice on all of that? Because what? 'Cause he did a hand? - Are you kidding? - Then when will he learn? On another surgery or two, or three maybe.
Not on this one.
You know what, Warren? Why don't you just, uh, cover the pit? I'll have Mitchell assist.
Does anyone ever get taught around here? We'll say hi, and then you'll go out before they intubate her.
How do I tell her? How do I tell her this is all my fault? You don't.
Not now.
You wait till you get your baby and Mindy's safely out of surgery, and then we take it from there.
Okay? Can we dance Yeah.
- Yeah.
- A little longer? Thank you.
While the wind blusters Oh.
Hey, you.
Hey.
This is not how we pictured, huh? No.
Nope.
There's gonna be blood.
I know.
Okay.
Don't faint.
[Chuckles.]
He's squeamish, in a big way.
I'm I'm I I'll be fine.
Say hi to her for me, okay? Oh, honey, your face.
What happened? I'm so sorry.
What? Why? It was me.
In the other car I hit you.
What? It's all my fault.
[Monitors beeping.]
Okay, Bryan, we need to get started.
Oh, no, wait, wait Mindy, you're gonna feel a little drowsy Mindy, I'm so sorry.
I love you so much.
It was you? When the war is over Okay.
Let's have a baby.
Dr.
Webber, how are you? Oh, there she is.
How's that first day? I'm actually having trouble finding my way into O.
R.
s.
Everyone seems to have full tables or patients so dire, they can't afford extra people.
Dr.
Robbins, Dr.
Riggs, Dr.
Inaba Oh.
Tough breaks.
Was there a problem with the way I arranged the board this morning? Uh, you used lower-case letters.
So? It's still legible.
It's a little passive-aggressive, don't you think? - Mm.
- We prefer caps.
Ah.
Chief Bailey told me to handle the O.
R.
board as I see fit today.
Is that right? It is.
Then, I'll leave you to it.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
He took the pen.
Oh, man.
It's all right, Bryan.
Get ready to meet your girl, 'cause here she comes.
[Chuckles.]
- [Monitor beeping loudly.]
- No.
No, no.
I got to get in there.
Robbins? - Pack her uterus.
Metz? - Bryan, you need to go.
Baby looks a little cyanotic.
Can you put her under the warmer and see if she perks up? - Why isn't she crying? - Get him out of here! Right angle.
Robbins, pass me the vessel loop.
- What? What is it? - Bryan, your baby's having a little trouble breathing, but it's okay.
And we need to control your wife's bleeding from the trauma.
If you can't ventilate, then you need to get her intubated, get her up to the NICU, and get a full work-up.
Mosquito.
Hang two more units.
Oh, God.
Oh, God! Somebody get him out of here! [Monitor beeping loudly.]
Hey! I'm here for about two minutes.
Here are the scans that you asked for.
You know, you said you were taking a leave.
You can actually take a leave.
- These are the dad's? - Yeah.
Closed-head trauma.
- CT looked clear, but then I saw this.
- Yeah, I see what you mean.
How is his family? Is the baby okay? God, they just wanted a happy ending, and boom, ran into each other.
No, this is just artifact.
CT's clear.
Good.
And this the driver's.
You had the yogurt? Yeah, I I was hungry.
He's good, too.
I think Dr.
Hunt knows.
I had to lie to him, and that feels I'm sorry.
I will go to a hotel.
I'm This is unfair.
I know.
It's a terrible imposition.
No, it's fine.
You Hm.
It's not a big deal.
You are welcome.
It's just y That was my last yogurt.
I will go to a hotel.
Just go to a store.
He looks miserable and he's scared to death for you, and I don't want to lie to your husband anymore, so can I just tell him something, please? - No.
- Wh Because he will try to fix it.
And it can't be fixed.
Okay.
Okay.
Thank you.
Maggie: Give me the PTFE graft and 5-0 prolene.
That is exactly what I was talking about.
Mayos.
I could've told you exactly how that would play out.
Yeah, I know, I was here.
I didn't think you could make it any worse for that poor guy Just stop it, Pierce, please! DeBakey pickups.
Dr.
Robbins, chest X-rays show their baby has a diaphragmatic hernia.
All right, is she intubated? Yeah, but still de-satting.
All right, let's put her on ECMO.
Have a 5-0 ready.
Go, Murphy.
- You're not coming? - No.
I have to make sure that this baby's mother - doesn't bleed to death.
- I've never put a baby on ECMO.
Call the peds surgeon that's on call and get help, figure it out.
You can do this, okay? Go.
Scissors? Hey.
Hey, buddy.
[Man wheezing.]
I haven't heard anything about your pregnant lady yet.
Cool, yeah, thanks, but, this dude, is this guy breathing funny? [Wheezing continues.]
Oh, damn it.
Damn it! He dropped a lung.
Can I get a nurse over here?! I need an X-ray and chest-tube tray! And set up for intubation! Has anybody seen Wilson?! Is the baby on ECMO? Did you get help? I-I found someone to help me, but she's still unstable.
There's too much pressure on the mediastinum.
She's not oxygenating or perfusing well despite the heart-lung bypass.
And she's still hang on.
Another clamp.
Hang more FFP.
Right angle.
Dr.
Robbins, this baby's tanking.
I think we need to get her into the O.
R.
Who's with you? Barton.
Ugh! Barton's no good for this.
- You should go.
- I need to be here.
No, you don't.
Hey, you didn't do this.
A car did this.
I need to be two people.
I need Alex.
Well, Alex isn't here.
Go.
I've got this.
- I'm ready to go.
- Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa! Hey, hey! Hey, hey, stop! We thought we'd get her ready to go.
We We've tried everything.
She's just too sick.
Yeah, well, you're right about that one.
- All right, should we move? - No, we don't have time.
Betadine and drape her.
All right, start prepping the room! Let's get some gowns and gloves in here! - What are you doing? - You're right.
She's too sick to move.
I need a surgical tray right here, right now! Karev K-A-R-E-V.
Nope.
He's not in the computer.
I don't have him.
Okay, so, can we call around to some other jails? Sure.
'Cause this is Saks Fifth Avenue.
Okay.
Right.
Okay, thanks.
Woman: Sterilization team to O.
R.
Recovery.
Hey.
Oh, hey, Bryan Wallace's head CT is clear.
I just discharged him.
Oh.
Who'd you find to take a look at it? Dr.
Morton.
Oh.
Bryan asked me for an update on his wife and baby, so I'm heading up there now.
Okay.
Hey, how about the cab driver? Uh, yeah, she cleared him, too.
Oh.
She? I thought you said it was Morton.
He, I mean.
Anyway, cab driver's clear.
I told Warren.
Uh, well, find me when you get the update.
We'll go talk to Bryan together.
Yep.
Yeah.
[Breathes deeply.]
What happened? Uh, rib fractures must've punctured a lung.
Anything more from the chest tube? Bleeding slowed down.
Only 400 cc in the pleurovac.
Yeah, we'll need to stabilize his ribs.
In the O.
R.
I'll join you.
And before you tell me no, I spent all day rearranging my schedule, thanks to you.
I was hired here to do a job, and I think it's time I would love to have you.
- What? - Warren, book an O.
R.
Richard: Okay, you see here, Warren? This rib punctured the lung.
Why doesn't hockey just ban the fighting? Are you kidding? It's part of the game the good part.
You got to shake up the other team or get your own team going.
Garth is the enforcer.
Now, his job is to go in and take out the skills player upset the other team.
Seems he's pretty good at it.
Fights can be strategic, too.
A fight can change momentum, clear the air, break a stalemate.
It also rallies the team against a common enemy.
Well, this is fascinating.
And I thought I was just gonna learn about surgery.
Oh, no, Dr.
Warren, it's me who's being schooled tonight.
Isn't that why you allowed me into an O.
R.
? I just wanted to see how you "deal with a Dr.
Webber.
" You don't want to have this fight, sir.
Someone always tries to, and they always get on board or get left behind.
You said fighting is the good part, right? Well, I hope you meant it.
[Indistinct announcement on PA.]
Hey, how goes the battle for hearts and minds? Well, change doesn't happen overnight.
Well, that sounds like someone who's won no hearts or minds.
It's always hard at first.
They push back.
Eventually, everyone gets on the same page.
That's not how it works in my hospital.
I'll call a meeting.
Dr.
Bailey, you're only gonna make this harder This is not a fight you should be having, Dr.
Minnick.
I'll call a meeting.
Leah: You do this a lot? Get a 10 French chest tube ready.
Major surgery on a newborn right here? The baby would die on the elevator.
And the mom might already be so we need to go, all right? Let's just Let's do this.
Scalpel.
Murphy, you gonna assist or what? Dr.
Pierce was able to stop Mindy's internal bleeding.
Um, she's closing her right now.
What does that mean? Uh, when can I see her? Is she Sweetheart, would you wake up today? When will she wake up? Will she wake up? I promise you We don't know.
We have to see how she responds.
Oh, God.
I wanna show you how I've grown in this place And the baby? Dr.
Robbins has asked me to tell you your baby is in surgery.
Surgery? Is she okay? As soon as we know anything [Exhales.]
I was in a baby store when I got the call.
Isn't that weird? I just bought her this tiny little hat.
It was the first thing I ever picked out for her.
It's like, this morning, I knew what my future was, you know? And now I might not have a baby.
Or a wife.
Or what if she wakes up and doesn't forgive me? What if she never wants to see me again? Oh, you won't believe the wonders I can see This world is changing me But I love you faithfully Is she okay? Is she sober? Just tell me that.
She's safe.
You don't have to worry.
But I'm feeling guilty Tell her to come home.
Tell her it'll be fine, and we'll be The wonders I can see Just tell her to come home.
This world is changing me But I love you faithfully She's onto us.
- Already? - Yeah.
Damn it! We have to escalate the plan.
Hey, you guys get this e-mail from the Chief? What? "Emergency meeting"? Yeah, it's to all the attendings.
Except me.
What's our next step? I have an idea.
Okay.
Yeah.
[Breathes deeply.]
She's gonna be okay? Really? Yeah.
It was a good repair, and I do a lot of them.
Thank God.
Thank God she's okay.
Bryan Mindy's injuries were much worse than they could have been because her feet were up on the dashboard, and Yeah, they said, the airbag I told her to put them up there.
The baby was coming, and she was in a lot of pain, and and I asked her to put her feet up on the dashboard to relieve the pressure.
But I didn't I didn't mean to make it worse.
I did not I did not mean to hurt her.
You didn't.
You were just trying to help.
You didn't hurt her.
I did.
You were trying to get to her, to get to them both.
You were just You were trying to get here.
Okay? Okay.
They're just 10 minutes late.
But all of them? - [Clears throat.]
- Where are they? I have no idea.
Operating, teaching, molding the surgeons of tomorrow Or maybe just sending a message.
Oh, they've been sending their message all day.
Dr.
Minnick, will you excuse us? No, please.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Okay.
So, this is mutiny.
Call it what you want.
Why are you doing this? You yourself said you like Minnick's approach.
It's not what you're doing.
It's how you've done it.
It's too abrupt.
The program suffers.
Butt-hurt.
I beg your pardon? You're butt-hurt.
That's what Tuck calls it when you get all bent out of shape and mopey over something you shouldn't because you're embarrassed.
You're forcing a change nobody asked for.
This is not about my butt.
- You really want to do this? - I haven't done anything You really want to do this to me?! Look, Bailey, it's not just me.
It's not just you.
People are angry about your treatment of me, about your direction of this program.
It was a bad call.
And you can walk it back.
People also felt the need for change and adaptation.
People recognized that "the way we've always done it" isn't always the best way and that a a fresh perspective doesn't have to be a threat.
So, I'm gonna walk on.
"People," huh? Who? It's not just me.
Sir, I signed your discharge papers.
You're good to go.
Oh, yeah.
No, I I just kind of wanted to know how that family made out.
'Cause I can't just go home and wonder, you know? It's, uh, still a question mark.
Sorry.
Oh.
Damn.
Okay.
Thanks.
Night.
Night.
Hey! Sir? Sir.
That kid in the bed next to you, the one who couldn't breathe? Uh, the hockey player? Yeah.
Yeah, well, it turns out that he had internal bleeding.
Would've killed him if you hadn't caught it.
You saved that kid's life.
For real? For real.
Whoo-hoo! Meredith: Our heroes aren't special.
They're just people.
They're like us.
They're just trying to survive.
Uh Hunt wants you to come home.
How'd that family turn out? Uh, good.
She's not out of the woods yet, but everyone's still alive.
Good.
That's good.
Good.
Uh I'm gonna turn in, if that's all right.
Good night.
They're trying to be happy.
Trying to do better, be better, feel better.
Hey, Dr.
Robbins, wait up.
Hey, um, Dr.
Minnick I've been awake for more than 48 hours, so I'm gonna This'll just take a second.
[Sighs.]
- I wanted to thank you.
- What? Murphy told me you let her run with that baby from the trauma.
That's the spirit.
That's really putting my method to work.
Good to have you on board.
Good night.
Heroes aren't more special, more courageous than the rest of us.
After all, they're only human.
[Sighs.]
You're not okay.
What? That hockey kid today? He dropped a lung.
We had to take him up to the O.
R.
Where were you? I was in Path.
I was getting a culture.
Come on.
You've been in your head all day.
It's fine, 'cause I covered for you, but talk to someone.
Work it out.
What do you need, Warren? Do you need me to be fragile? Do you need me to fall apart? - Oh, come on, now.
- Would that help you? Because you keep looking at me with your eyes all soft like you want to help me, you want to make me feel better.
I don't need to feel better.
I don't need your sympathy.
Stuff like this happens, and I am built for it.
I'm fine.
Leave me alone.
They hurt, they break, they bleed.
Perfect pictures torn in two Pick your moments, surely do And what the hell got into you, anyway? Andrew: Hey.
Road like silver, sky like silk You okay? Uh You drain that car part, till it melt, away - Is it a patient? - No.
But yeah.
Yeah, that, too.
Do you want to talk about it? I can't.
It's not something you want to hear about.
Open the door Until the dark can walk right in Okay.
I miss Alex.
And I know that that's not fair to say to you, but it's true.
I hate that he's gone.
I just I hate it.
But sometimes, every once in a while What? when it matters, they get it right, and that changes everything.
Hey.
Anything? Three counties, four jails nothing.
No one will tell me anything.
Maybe they're still processing him? You'll find out tomorrow what happened.
Well, I know what happened.
He's gone.
That's what happened.
A hero is only human, but that's the point.
If they can do it, so can you.
Did Owen find Amelia? Amelia? Where's Amelia? Where is everybody?! [Sighs.]
I'm dirty.
I stink.
I need to wash off this day.
They wouldn't leave They wouldn't leave [Door closes.]
So you keep going.
You don't give up.
You stand tall.
You fight.
[Sighs.]
They wouldn't leave - Aah! Alex?! - What the hell, Mer? Alex? You always show up to save the day.
Oh! They wouldn't leave [Chuckles.]
They wouldn't leave Wait.
I've been looking for you all day.
I've been here.
I've been sleeping.
All day? All day.
