Grey's Anatomy s18e05 Episode Script

1 Mm-mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm Mm-mm-mm-mm Mm-mm-mm-mm Mm-mm, mm-mm-mm-mm MEREDITH: In a recent experiment [CELLPHONE CHIMES.]
scientists observed that single human cells in a Petri dish will actually seek each other out Walk like I talk like I run Working like a boss, we don't need to take a freebie and adhere to each other to form new connections.
Don't believe me, take a peek-y, ha I get what I want what I love I don't mess around Trying to be the first one in? I was.
I'm always first.
When cells team up Big day.
- they become stronger.
- Big day.
They thrive and evolve and eventually become something bigger than their single selves ever could have been.
Morning, Winston.
Uh, Dr.
Webber.
Uh, I-I married you and Maggie, so, you you can call me Richard.
Right.
Richard.
Ah.
[CHUCKLES.]
Uh, how's Maggie's father? - Oh, he's better.
- Ah.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm hoping to go out there next week.
Ah.
How's the Webber Method coming along? - Morning, Dr.
Webber! - ZANDER: We were just wondering what we should be prepared for today.
- SARA: Which O.
R.
to be in.
- And what surgeries we're doing.
Please and thank you.
I'd say the method is going pretty well.
Let's move! MEGAN: Okay.
Don't forget to breathe.
M-Mom, Mom, stop worrying.
Dr.
Hayes says Dr.
Ndugu is the best in the country.
Other people think so, too.
- I looked them up.
- I'm not worried, my love.
And, also, people don't like being told that they were background checked.
- I'm so sorry.
- It's all right.
Dr.
Hayes and the Internet are absolutely right.
I'm good.
- You ready to roll? - Yeah.
- All right.
- Okay.
- I will see you later.
- Yep.
- [SMOOCHES.]
- Bye-bye.
Bye.
[SNIFFS.]
All right.
[SIGHS.]
You might want to go and get something to eat.
Pericardiectomy can take five, six hours.
Complex procedure.
Where you remove the calcified pericardium that's been constricting his heart for God knows how long.
What kind of surgeon-slash-mom did you think I was if I didn't know that? I know.
Just protocol.
You talk to your brother yet? Or were the curtains closed because this is one of those "secret" heart surgeries that Grey-Sloan is so well known for? What, you have one drink with a guy, and you're suddenly in the "no secrets" zone? Don't you think this relationship is moving kinda fast? I'll talk to him.
Today.
Now.
Take good care of him, or I'll come back and kill you.
Thank you.
No, but, seriously, I have the training.
OWEN: Unfortunately, the VA is still stonewalling on your coverage, but we are making progress here.
TEDDY: Yeah, we now have chest X-rays, blood samples, and pulmonary function tests on almost everyone.
Except Noah.
[TELEPHONE RINGS IN DISTANCE.]
Since Colonel Davis passed, Major Hunt - Doctor.
Dr.
Hunt.
- Sorry.
Dr.
Hunt.
Since the colonel died, no one's heard from Noah yet.
He thinks it's my fault that Roy died.
He's not the only one.
- MEGAN: Uh - [KNOCK ON DOOR.]
- You two have a sec? - Yeah, we're done here.
We'll be back and update you later, okay? - [EXPLOSION.]
- [ALL SCREAMING.]
Oh! Get down! Get down! Get down right now! TEDDY: Get away from the windows! - Are we under attack?! - Shh.
Quiet, quiet.
What the hell was that? Okay.
All right.
Thank you.
- Scout and Luna - I-I just called daycare.
Everyone's fine.
Scout barely woke up.
- Are you okay? - Yeah.
- What was that? - I don't know.
Hope it doesn't happen again.
[CELLPHONES BUZZ.]
Hunt wants everyone in the ER.
Have we heard what happened? I'm trying to call Ben, but he's not picking up.
OWEN: We need to activate mass casualty protocol.
- We don't know what happened yet.
- It felt like a bomb.
We need to start setting up beds and make sure we have enough blood.
Schmitt, grab another resident.
Prep the trauma rooms, cancel elective surgeries, and tell the O.
R.
s to be on standby.
Private, Corporal, help us set up a triage station - outside, A.
S.
A.
P.
- Yes, sir.
Owen, they're not medical personnel.
They're patients, and they're not in 100% health.
They're also soldiers who have trained for these kind of events.
In a few minutes, we're gonna be flooded with mass trauma.
We need all the help we can get.
There was a pipeline explosion.
He's still not answering.
- [PHONE LINE RINGING.]
- It's gonna be okay.
Yeah.
MEREDITH: So, the committee at the FDA said the first step toward getting approval is, we have to prove that the cells can survive at every stage.
They need to make it through the reprogramming process, differentiation, suspension prep, and cryopreservation without turning into cancerous cells.
So we've succeeded in the cell maturation process.
- I've succeeded at that.
- Well, you have, which is a milestone in itself, but now we need to prove that the cells can survive once they've been injected - into the brain.
- Ready here.
You're putting my precious biopsied cells into a fake brain.
It's a 3D-printed hydrogel brain.
Injecting Trial 1 now.
We're using test cells, and we dyed them blue to visualize their behavior once injected.
- Crap.
- "Crap"? If the cells stay in a blob, they'll die.
Very scientific.
How do we fix it? We need to try different injection techniques.
Okay.
How many of these gel brains do we have? A-And how much do they cost? MAN: Oh, there's plenty.
And think of it as a contribution for, uh, you know, science.
It's a MEREDITH: You made it.
Uh, bad time? WOMAN ON P.
A.
: Dr.
Lynne McDonald to the nurses' station.
Dr.
Lynne McDonald to the nurses' station.
[RUMBLING, HIGH-PITCHED RINGING.]
[OWEN BREATHING HEAVILY.]
SACILOTTO: [ECHOING.]
Dr.
Hunt? Doctor? Dr.
Hunt! Corporal Sacilotto, what's the sit-rep - in the ambulance bay? - Still clear Other than a few firefighters with minor injuries, sir.
Copy that.
Stay ready.
Hey.
Have you seen your sister? I have looked in all the triage areas.
Her name's not on the surgical schedule, - and she's not in radiology and - Have you tried calling her? Yeah, but she hasn't picked up.
I'm worried.
I mean, there was an explosion, and she took off running.
- And with her history - Teddy, she's fine.
- Are you? - I'm fine.
Megan's fine.
Everybody's fine, except for the people who were injured by that bomb.
O-Owen, there wasn't a bomb.
It was a Listen.
They're gonna need our help.
I need to do my job, so why aren't you doing yours? [SIGHS.]
[DOOR OPENS.]
Um, Hayes? What is she doing here? MEGAN: Is he okay? There was an explosion.
Was he awake? He was already under when the explosion happened.
What are you doing? Okay.
You can start now.
Dr.
Hunt, all due respect, I don't think this is a good idea.
All due respect, I don't care.
HAYES: Megan, we've got this.
Great.
Then start.
Look, I'm not leaving my son, so unless you want his already-failing heart to worsen because his pericardium is crushing his heart as we speak, I suggest you start.
Scalpel.
[SIREN WAILING.]
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS.]
[SIGHS.]
How we doing? I thought it'd be busier.
Yeah, it sounds like most patients are either dead or at Seattle Pres.
I'm sure Ben is Thanks for jumping in, Wilson, but you can head back up to O.
B.
An exploding pipeline isn't exactly joyful.
- Bailey, I w - Got I got it.
Go.
[SIGHS.]
[BAILEY EXHALES SHARPLY.]
[SIREN APPROACHING.]
32-year-old female firefighter.
Status post-electrocution G.
C.
S.
15, stable vitals.
Hughes! Uh, Bailey.
Hi.
I almost died.
Uh, let's get her inside! Move! Move, move! [SOFT WHIRRING.]
Nice robot.
I didn't approve this.
Amelia needed a second neurosurgeon.
It would have taken us weeks to get these gel brains without Tom, and he's written several papers on the use of micro-injectors into the brain.
And you gave me autonomy.
Don't worry.
Dave, I signed an NDA.
Well, I-I crossed my fingers, but I signed it.
[CHUCKLES.]
- Kidding.
- You like working with him? He's brilliant.
- And he saved my life.
- We're ready over here.
Did you change the suspension's cell concentration this time? Did someone ask for your opinion? Uh, let me think.
Yep.
Shepherd and Grey said, "We need a second opinion on this whole" Okay.
Start the injection, please.
Another blob.
Yeah, cells will remain locked in the center, and without access to nutrition, their suicide gene goes off, and they'll start offing themselves.
The problem isn't in the suspension or the cells.
It's in the technique.
You should look for one with a better surface-area-to-volume ratio.
I can't have this.
I cannot have this.
What, you cannot have a good idea? - I know.
That's why I'm here.
- Tom.
- What? I - He was not part of our deal.
Oh.
[STAMMERS.]
What is the story here? Wh It's sordid.
N-Nothing to do with, uh, science.
Fundamentally, he's a big baby, but I'm willing to help save his life, so yeah.
OWEN: Hughes, any chest pain? Tightness? I'm not s I'm not sure.
I think I'm Still in shock.
Vic, wa was Ben I'm pretty sure he gave me morphine.
- Okay.
Thank you.
- Mm-hmm.
- What happened? - Pipeline got nicked by a construction worker, and the whole block went up.
Then I went up on the ladder to put water on the building, and a power line just went rogue, and I got fried.
And then, when I woke up, I was dangling from the ladder, and Miller w-was giving me mouth-to-mouth? Thank God he did.
You might not be here.
Gonna have Schmitt run a FAST exam, EKG, cardiac enzymes, and labs to rule out rhabdo.
Okay.
I think he's in love with me.
- Hunt? - Miller.
- Bailey.
- Oh.
Yeah.
There was a second blast.
Couple of rigs are on their way here now.
Firefighters, apparently.
[SIRENS WAILING.]
- Who is it? - Bailey, hold on! - Who's the patient? - PARAMEDIC: Pat Aquino, captain over at Station 23.
G.
C.
S.
10 T, penetrating injury to the abdomen, pelvis unstable.
Full thickness burns to the face.
Lincoln, I'll join you in trauma two.
LINK: Okay.
Let's move carefully.
On our way.
No siren.
No rush.
There's a dead person in there.
[BRAKES HISS.]
Gibson.
Gib Ben.
[EXHALES SHARPLY.]
What happened? Who Who's? - Who - It's Miller.
It's Dean Miller.
[TELEPHONE RINGS.]
I can't believe Miller.
After everything.
I know.
And Hughes? I mean, d-does she need surgery or? We're triaging her and running tests to rule out cardiac injury.
It'll destroy her.
I mean, it'll destroy all of us, but Hughes Oh, God.
Miller has the baby girl.
Oh, what's gonna happen to that poor thing? [SIGHS.]
What? Ben.
What? T-There's something I need to talk to you about.
When we were in the water that night M-Miller and I.
Uh, he asked me if, um Ben? He asked me if I would take Pru.
You know, if anything ever happened to him.
ANDY: Ben.
Miller.
Is he? TRAVIS: No.
[SOBS.]
Oh, no.
Does Vic know? No.
Can I see her? I need to tell her.
Um, she's, uh She's getting tests, but I don't know that we should drop this kind of news on her.
Yeah, I'd rather just get it over with now.
S-She really She hates it when people keep stuff from her, so - I'll take you.
- TRAVIS: Okay.
ANDY: Um [STAMMERS.]
I-I should go get Pru from daycare.
Do we know the plan? I-Is she going with you two? Um, we're still f-figuring that out.
Hey.
[ANDY BREATHING HEAVILY.]
MEREDITH: Tom Koracick's an incredible neurosurgeon.
He's a leader in his field.
He saved Catherine Fox's life.
Koracick slept with my daughter.
Oh.
- Was she underage? - No.
- Did he abuse his power? - No.
Was she coerced in any way into sleeping with him? No.
Okay, so you're willing to slow down a possible breakthrough here because your adult daughter had consensual sex? Have you met the guy? I have, and I understand he's not everyone's favorite.
I-I want him out of my lab.
Your lab? You put my name on the door, and you moved the world to get me here.
If you don't trust me, what's the point? You're really gonna let a grudge interfere with groundbreaking research? This isn't personal.
When we apply for the FDA approval, how many people are gonna be against us because Tom Koracick slept with their mothers, their sisters, and their daughters, and then gloated about it?! And it's not the sex, for the record.
It's the gloating! The FDA is not going to block a possible cure for Parkinson's because of Tom Koracick's questionable choices, and neither should you.
You don't have to be here today.
Let me handle this.
It's my lab, my research, my money.
His name is not gonna be anywhere near this, and that's final.
All right.
Let's be careful here.
We don't want to cut it.
More lap pads.
Why? Sorry.
I-I won't freak out.
I just want to know what's going on.
We're watching for the phrenic nerve.
The pericardium is so stuck to the heart, it's hard to tell what's what, so we're moving slowly to avoid complications.
HAYES: You wanna take a break? Go get some air? When we were in Fallujah, I used to tell him about all the cartoons he'd get to watch once we were rescued.
I'd sing him the theme songs to make him laugh.
After we moved to L.
A.
, whenever he'd get triggered by loud, explosive sounds, I'd take him outside anywhere open and hold his hands and hum those cartoon songs.
He never actually watched any of them.
He was always too impatient, but whenever he got triggered, I'd hum the songs and hold his hands.
It always calmed him down.
Do it.
[SIGHS.]
I don't want to distract you.
And now you're worried about distracting us? We're fine.
Do it.
[MEGAN HUMMING "DUCKTALES" THEME.]
- [MONITORS BEEPING.]
- There's free fluid in his abdomen.
- He's bleeding out.
- He's got an open-book pelvic injury.
We need to take him straight up.
Call and find out which O.
R.
s are free, please! [ALARMS BLARING.]
[BREATHING SHAKILY.]
Hunt, uh, you want to take this? [ECHOING.]
I can stay down here if anyone comes in, redirect personnel.
[HIGH-PITCHED RINGING.]
Hunt? [EXHALES SHARPLY.]
Hunt! [GASPS.]
Uh, no.
[CLEARS THROAT.]
No, it's It's all yours.
[ALARMS BLARING.]
[BREATHING HEAVILY.]
[WHEELS CLATTERING.]
[HIGH-PITCHED RINGING.]
[BREATHING ECHOING.]
[WOMAN SCREAMING.]
MAN: Get down! Get down right now! [TELEPHONE RINGING.]
[INDISTINCT SHOUTING.]
JO: [ECHOING.]
Dr.
Hunt? [HIGH-PITCHED RINGING.]
Owen, are you okay? [BREATHLESSLY.]
Are they all dead? Who? [BREATHING SHARPLY.]
LEVI: Okay, so, you need to change the depth when you're in subcostal view.
- That's it.
- No crap.
You just made me forget where I was.
It's okay to ask for help.
I don't need help.
I know what I'm doing.
- I know what I'm doing.
- I'm not freaked out at all.
You're the intern that brought me flowers - when my fiancé died.
- Yes.
But now I'm a senior resident and Chief of Trauma for the month, so - Ooh.
- Which is still just a resident.
I'm not seeing any free fluid or pericardial effusion.
Travis! Thank God.
These two are playing "pin the tail on my injuries," and I'm on so many pain meds that every so often I think I see a little cluster of grapes in that in that corner over there.
- Vic, um - Oh, and Miller! He sort of kind of told me he was in love with me.
B-But not in so many words, thank God, 'cause you know, I didn't wa [CHUCKLES.]
I don't want to break his heart, but [CHUCKLING.]
It's What? What happ What happened? Wait, Trav Is Is Theo okay? - Travis, what's - Theo Theo's fine.
- What's going on? [SNIFFS.]
- Um Vic, there was a second explosion, and, um BAILEY: I'm gonna try and stay calm when I ask you this because what's happening in there is already s heavy.
Did you say yes? [SNIFFLES.]
Yes.
Was it just, like, a A "death's door" kind of thing, or did Miller put it on paper? It was the second time he asked me.
It was a confirmation.
At any point before you confirmed it, did you think to confirm it with your wife? I didn't think he was gonna ever - die.
- Die? You're firefighters, Ben! I know, I know.
I know.
But you brought home Joey without asking me, and that worked out for us.
Oh, an 18-year-old is very different from a 2-year-old girl! Miller was my brother, Miranda! He was my brother! TRAVIS: Vic! No, no, no, no! Vic! - [ALARMS BEEPING.]
- Help me! I need help! Okay.
Hand that to me.
She's in V-fib! Page Altman! Go, go, go, go, go.
Hughes? Okay.
You do not do this.
Hughes?! You hear me? Not today.
Paddles.
- [ALARMS BEEPING.]
- Charge to 150.
Clear.
- [DEFIBRILLATOR THUMPS.]
- Come on, come on, come on.
Charge to 200.
Clear.
[DEFIBRILLATOR THUMPS, ALARMS BLARING.]
I still got nothing.
No, Hughes.
19 can't take it.
Hughes! Push another epi and charge to 200.
Come on.
Let's go, let's go, let's go! - Don't you cry for me - Charge to 200.
Clear.
[DEFIBRILLATOR THUMPS.]
I'm not incomplete, oh, I'm in pieces [MONITOR BEEPS.]
- Oh.
Oh, my God.
- She's back.
- TRAVIS: Vic? - All right, Schmitt, order an echo, and then let's get cardiac enzymes every two hours.
I want you to admit her to the CCU under close observation.
Hey, the electrocution caused myocardial injury, which is causing some arrhythmias to your heart.
But we're gonna know more after further testing, okay? All right.
I gotta go find Owen.
I'll be back soon.
[SIGHS.]
Don't ever do that again, okay? VIC: Was Is it real? You pull me out And hold me down You hold me down [BREATHING SHAKILY.]
My love isn't lost Just left behind [SIRENS WAILING, CAR HORN HONKS.]
Not that anyone's asked, but I'm doing great.
Splitting my time between Boston and Baltimore.
Met a lovely former social worker with the world's bluest eyes.
Shepherd, how's your happy little family? You're married? No, I'm not, uh No.
Um, Tom, what? What do you think about a motorized injector? Or something that releases the cells slowly along the cylindrical track created by the needle, and then we inject as we pull out? Please.
Do not make a pulling-out joke.
Oh.
Dr.
Bartley, please.
Uh, we've both grown up since, uh, you were a post-grad in my research lab.
I-I took the HR seminars, got the slaps on the wrists, - and and learned.
- Doubtful.
- You studied with Tom? - Briefly.
I took a postgraduate seminar from him.
That was all I needed to realize I had no interest - in dealing with neurosurgeons.
- [CHUCKLES.]
Well, not all neurosurgeons are as bad as Tom.
Now, you see? I'm already the reason this project's gotten as far as it has.
What do I think about a motorized injector? I think great minds that were shaped by me think alike.
[KNOCK ON DOOR.]
Yes? - Hello.
- You have a minute? Sure.
You look angry.
- I am.
- Okay.
Not at you.
- Good.
- I need some information.
- Okay.
Shoot.
- David Hamilton.
- I think I fell for the charm - Mm-hmm.
and I'm forgetting that that charm often has a dark side, and he's having what amounts to a tantrum.
[CHUCKLES.]
Yes.
I've seen them before.
Okay, so, is he a textbook narcissist, or do I have some wiggle room? I-I don't think David's a bad guy, really.
I just I think doctors make the worst patients.
I didn't realize you knew.
I mean, come on.
You're on my turf here, and Parkinson's, it's a pretty hard disease to hide.
Look, from what I understand, David's throwing every penny he's got at your project, but he's not in it for the greater good.
I mean, if that's what he told you and you bought it, then, yeah, you fell for his charm.
- I fell for the charm? - Yes, you might have.
[CHUCKLES.]
I was thinking of him like an investor.
A scientist with big ideas and deep pockets.
I should have been thinking about him as a class A surgeon with a neurodegenerative disease - Mm-hmm.
- who cannot operate anymore.
So he's not only difficult, but he's desperate.
Y-Yeah, David's been treated like a god around here for a very, very long time, and now he's becoming obsolete.
So, difficult, desperate, and terrified.
So you can cut him some slack, but don't let him walk over you.
I mean, he put you in charge for a reason.
- Gotta remember that.
- Yeah.
I would be a nightmare if I couldn't operate.
Oh, God.
You would be a pain in the ass.
- So would you.
- Moi? Nah.
[CLICKS TONGUE.]
I roll with the punches.
How much do you know about my super-secret project? I-I know the players, I can guess the goal, but what you're actually doing total mystery.
Thanks for the consult.
Sure.
Any time.
[CHUCKLES.]
- Miranda.
- Eh No.
Miranda, you can be mad at me all you want, but - I am.
- But there's still a little girl whose father just died, all right? Whose mother abandoned her when she was only a few days old.
Who needs someone.
S-Someone to love her.
She has grandparents.
Ben! You know how badly I've always wanted a little girl to love, to comb her hair, to teach her how to have a voice in this world, but it hasn't been in the cards for me for us and now you're telling me that little Pru Miller needs a mom, and all I want to do is run to her.
So just But if I do and if I fall in love with her, which I will, and then her grandparents come and take her away from me, that I cannot do.
I cannot do that.
WINSTON: All right.
Good job, everybody.
Clamps off.
MEGAN: Okay, my sweet boy.
We're almost done.
Come on, now.
Come on.
- Oh, no.
No, no, no.
- What? - His heart's swelling up.
- Can we diurese? - No, that wouldn't work.
- What? You can't close him? Not yet, no.
Let's push epi.
- How long? - Can't tell.
Could be minutes.
Could be days.
WINSTON: All right.
[BREATHING SHARPLY.]
[HIGH-PITCHED RINGING.]
[BREATHING SHARPLY.]
Come on, come on.
[BREATHING HEAVILY.]
Oh.
I've been looking everywhere for you.
Owen? - Owen.
- I'm okay.
I'm okay.
[BREATHING SHAKILY.]
- The explosion? - The vets.
Roy, Noah, what they've been through.
- Okay.
- [EXHALES DEEPLY.]
It's okay.
I'm here.
I am right here.
It's okay to take a step back from the veterans project if it's too much.
It is too much.
And I'm doing it.
'Cause I've learned how to take care of myself.
[INHALES DEEPLY.]
This is me taking care of myself.
In two minutes and two breaths, I'm gonna go back out there, I'm gonna be okay, because somebody has taught me how to manage [BREATHES DEEPLY.]
my PTSD.
Somebody taught you, too.
But nobody's taught them, Teddy.
Nobody's helping them with anything.
I need to help them.
Okay.
[BREATHES DEEPLY.]
[BREATHES DEEPLY.]
[WOMAN SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY OVER P.
A.
.]
Is he gone? I have complete autonomy in picking my team.
That was very specifically a part of our deal.
You brought me in for a reason, so let me do the job you brought me here to do.
Wow.
I didn't think you could remind me any more of Ellis than you did, but, well, I was wrong.
If that's meant to be an insult No, no, no.
No, it's not.
I'm just not my, uh I'm not at my best self right now.
I understand.
I don't know that you do.
I didn't understand when I was your age.
Did you know your mother and I worked together on a few patients? Just for a few months.
In 2003.
Well, that was when she started exhibiting the Alzheimer's symptoms.
Yeah, it started small.
The pauses.
Casual forgetfulness.
I didn't know what it was, but when I talked to her about it, she bit my head off.
I was trying to be helpful, trying to be understanding, but She was terrified.
Terror doesn't begin to describe it.
She was losing who she was.
I'm losing who I am.
Not Not my memory, but my purpose, my being.
My hands.
I see how hard it is, and I want to help.
But I cannot help if you continue to second-guess me.
You have to trust me to do the job you recruited me to do.
Whatever it takes however long it takes and whomever it takes.
And who knows? Maybe Koracick will be a bust and you can fire him.
Wouldn't that be fun? [CHUCKLES.]
[SIRENS WAILING, CAR HORN HONKS.]
[MONITOR BEEPING.]
WINSTON: The epinephrine has had some time to work.
The heart's getting better.
Let's give it some time, see if the swelling goes down completely in the next half-hour.
Okay.
Uh, can someone grab me a stool, please, and give us a minute? Thank you.
[CLEARS THROAT.]
[SIGHS.]
[DOORS CLOSE.]
[HUMMING.]
[HUMMING.]
Postman Pat, Postman Pat Postman Pat and his black and white cat [LAUGHS.]
- "Postman Pat"? No? - Mnh-mnh.
- Massive in Ireland.
- [LAUGHS.]
Thanks for staying.
[BOTH HUMMING.]
[CHUCKLES.]
[BREATHING HEAVILY.]
You okay? Yeah.
No.
I don't know.
Is she Is she gonna be Her labs are consistent with someone who's had a heart attack, but her echo looks really good, so no need for surgery.
And she's young and healthy.
She should be okay.
No, she won't.
Physically, sure.
She's so strong.
She always kicks our ass in training.
Miller's gone.
He was He was like a brother to us.
But to Vic, he was I mean, they were like a different kind of close.
And I hate knowing what she's about to go through because she's already had to do it once.
[SNIFFLES.]
I can't imagine having to do it again.
[SOBBING.]
Far from home, far from hollow Far from all that I follow Bailey.
Um, Wilson, it's fine.
I'm I'm sorry.

This little girl is so - Lucky.

She will grow up with Baileys and Warrens, which, to me, is pretty much like growing up with a Partridge Family.
