[narrator] Last season on Grey's Anatomy:
You have to go. I'm Iate. SeriousIy. Goodbye... uh...
- Derek. - Yeah.
A month ago you were in med schooI being taught by doctors.
- Today, you are the doctors. - [BaiIey] You're interns. Grunts.
Nobodies. Bottom of the surgicaI food chain.
It's Iike candy, but with bIood, which is so much better.
Dr. Shepherd? He's over there.
[George] Who feeIs Iike they have no idea what they're doing?
- Stop Iooking at me Iike that. - Like what?
Like you've seen me naked.
I don't get picked 'cause I sIept with my boss
and didn't get into med schooI 'cause I have a famous mother.
I used to be a doctor, I think.
[Meredith] Fine, George and Izzie, you can move in.
[Derek] You bIew me off for a bottIe of tequiIa.
It's not nearIy as much fun to wake up to.
You mind movin' this taiI wagon?
The next time I see you favoring Meredith Grey in any way,
I'II make sure she doesn't see the inside of an OR for a month.
- I'm your boss. - You don't scare me.
- Richard promised chief to both of us. - Keep friends cIose and enemies cIoser.
- Morning, Dr. ModeI. - Dr. EviI Spawn.
You're not the enemy. You're just the competition.
What is this that we're doing here?
[Yang] You need a definition?
[Meredith] There are other options.
It's a tumor. It's pressing against your optic nerve.
You've got syphiIis.
[George] I don't know how this happened.
You and AIex?
You gave me syphiIis?
[Derek] Some peopIe wouId caII this a reIationship.
- Who? - Me.
My God, you're faIIing for him.
What makes a hotshot doc Ieave the Big AppIe?
- Hi. I'm Addison Shepherd. - Shepherd?
You must be the woman who's been screwing my husband.
[Meredith] To be a good surgeon, you have to think like a surgeon.
Emotions are messy.
Tuck them neatly away and step into a clean, sterile room
where the procedure is simple.
Cut, suture and close.
You Iook famiIiar. You been here before?
Once. That worked out reaIIy weII.
I know that Iook. It's one of two things.
Either your boss is giving you heII or your boyfriend is. Which is it?
Both.
But sometimes, you're faced with a cut that won't heal.
My boyfriend is my boss, which was a probIem.
But not as big a probIem as the fact that my boyfriend has a wife.
TeII you what, this one, it's on the house.
A cut that rips its stitches wide open.
- What are you doing here? - Your hair's different.
- A Iot of things are different. - It's Ionger. It's very RusseII Crowe.
- What are you doing here? - You just pick up and Ieave everything?
Your house, your practice, your friends? You had a Iife in Manhattan.
Had.
And now you have a girIfriend in SeattIe.
- She seems sweet. - The ice you're on. Thin.
She's young.
That wide-eyed, he's-a-brain-surgeon thing, but stiII sweet.
Which was what you were going for. The anti-Addison?
If you came to try to win me back, forget it.
I did. I fIew across the country to reminisce over wedding photos,
get drunk, faII into bed, and make you reaIize you can't Iive without me.
ReIax. Derek, I'm here for work.
I'm heIming the TTTS case you guys admitted Iast week
and from Richard's briefing...
- He knew you were coming? - He asked me. Didn't he say?
- No. He didn't. - Hm. Surprise.
The hair, though. You know I've aIways had a thing for RusseII Crowe.
Let me see it.
No Iacerations, minimaI sweIIing.
- George reaIIy knocked you around. - He's a Iightweight.
- CouId've pinned him in a second. - Why didn't you?
Are you kidding? I'm riding a career in PIastics aII the way to the bank.
Can't afford to injure these babies.
- EspeciaIIy over O'MaIIey. - You had it coming.
The dude punches Iike my sister.
So, by your definition then you got beat up by a girI.
[chuckIes]
- AII haiI the champ! - [whooping]
So my guy AIex finaIIy got what was coming to him.
- George knocked him down in one punch. - I don't want to taIk about it!
Brag, champ, brag! You've earned it!
Can I have a beer, pIease?
Let's pIay a game of whose Iife sucks the most.
- I'II win. I aIways win. - No, you don't want to pIay with me.
Oh, I do. I'II even go first.
Derek's married.
George, beer is dripping from your nostriIs.
- ToId you I'd win. - No, you don't win.
Did you hear me? I said Derek is married.
As in pigheaded, aduIterous, Iiar married.
Nothing you couId say couId top that.
I'm pregnant.
I win.
- [groans] - [man] Joe, you aII right?
- [smashing] - [man] Hey, Joe!
OK. Maybe Joe wins.
- Lie down. - [man] The medics are coming.
- You caIIed the gurney patroI? - Sit back and reIax.
- The hospitaI wiII run some tests... - Tests? I don't need tests. I'm fine!
You coIIapsed! On the fIoor. It's your bar. You know how fiIthy this fIoor is.
- PuIse is strong. - Minor skuII contusions.
- You're sIeeping with someone? - What?
- Even George got some action. - Correction. George got some syphiIis.
- How couId I not know? - Forget this.
The hospitaI is right across the street.
I can sure as heII waIk across the street by myseIf.
- I think we shouId... - No, I got him. Joe!
AII right.
DetaiIs. You're pregnant?
What are you gonna do?
Look, you know what happens to pregnant interns.
I'm not switching to the vagina squad or spending my Iife popping zits.
I'm too taIented. Surgery's my Iife.
Which begs the question: Who are you sIeeping with?
- Just a guy. - That's aII I get?
You can't just bring something Iike this up and expect me to drop it.
WeII, watch me.
Don't you have a date with McDreamy?
- More Iike McMarried. - McWhat?
I came to check on Joe.
- You think he's gonna be OK? - WiII he need an operation?
[Derek] Operation, yes. OK, hard to teII.
BasiIar artery's Iike a baIIoon. Subarachnoid bIeeding.
- Aneurysm the size of a goIf baII. - No way to cIip something Iike that.
- Not without magic fingers. - Or a standstiII operation.
You're doing a standstiII... He's doing a standstiII operation.
I'd Iike to try. First I need some additionaI patient history,
overnight Iabs, and a cerebraI angio.
- I'm drunk. - [Derek] Meredith...
[Izzie, softIy] McBastard.
Ahem.
- What are you doing? - Uh...
I am on her side. But we're taIking a possibIe standstiII here.
Recognize.
- Meredith! - Go away!
Just wait. We shouId discuss this.
Here's a thought. No! Quit foIIowing me!
- At Ieast Iet me expIain. - ExpIain?
You shouId have expIained the night we met in the bar.
Before any of the rest of it.
- That wouId have been a good time. - Look, I know how you feeI.
Do you? Somehow I doubt that.
Because if you did, you wouId shut up,
and you wouId turn around and go back inside,
because you wouId reaIize that I am this cIose to getting in my car
and running you down in the parking Iot!
- Where're your keys? - I'm fine!
Meredith, give me your keys.
[George] Let's go home.
[man and woman Iaugh]
- ...and the husband was the... - [Richard Iaughs]
[cIears throat]
[sighs, cIears throat]
WeII, I wiII be back in the morning to report for duty.
And you... get some rest.
What is she doing here?
You and I both know she's the best in the fieId.
Bringing Addie out was a business decision, nothing personaI.
Oh, weII, what a reIief.
It's not personaI. It is personaI to me.
The workings of my surgicaI unit don't have any...
- Don't incIude my wife! - Don't incIude your private Iife!
Burke wiII act as chief of surgery untiI I'm back on my feet.
You gave chief to Burke.
There's no room for personaI in being chief.
- What is that supposed to mean? - You have been sIeeping with an intern.
[chuckIes]
So I guess part of being chief is personaI.
CIose the door on your way out.
L.S.
[woman on PA] IV nurse call ICU, extension 323.
Babcock.
IV nurse call ICU, extension 323.
Right-angIe cIamp.
Oh. I'm gonna steriIize everything when I'm done.
The scrub nurses won't know I was here.
My Iips are seaIed.
Dr. Tucker to Radiology. Dr. Tucker to Radiology.
So, I have a question to ask.
I checked the scheduIe and I noticed that you and I are both off tonight.
I made reservations.
I have a favorite restaurant.
None of those were questions.
WouId you Iike to go out to dinner with me tonight?
You know, the OR is the one pIace where I can come and think.
I'm thinking right now, OK?
Of course.
[metaI scrapes]
I get it.
I'm not a vioIent person. I'm a pacifist.
But, you know, he just kept pushing and push...
He pushed me, I pushed back.
I was pushed. And now he...
If AIex tries to Iay a hand on you, just teII me, I'II take care of it.
You... [Iaughs]
I don't need you to take care of it.
If AIex starts something I'II handIe it myseIf.
I can handIe it.
OK, peopIe, assignments.
Yang, you're on discharges. O'MaIIey report to room E1 9.
Grey come see me, and who was on caII Iast night?
SIoppy, sIoppy, sIoppy.
Redo these and return them to me before Iunch, understood?
- Understood. - Karev, don't tempt me.
- Somebody's popuIar. - Meaning?
There's been a speciaI request, just for you.
[Burke] The chief runs through aII of this?
Before Iunch. After, you've got caIIs to return, a budget to approve,
two staff meetings, and four of Richard's surgeries, incIuding your own.
AbsoIuteIy. No probIem.
[chuckIes] Virgins.
So. CongratuIations are in order.
Don't sweat it, I'II onIy be your boss for a few days.
I'm aware of Richard's recovery time. I operated on him, remember?
I do. He survived and chose me to take over whiIe recruiting your wife.
CIearIy, he has brain damage.
Or is it your ex-wife? I'm a IittIe fuzzy on that.
- We're separated. - Sorry to interrupt, Dr. Burke.
- You're never interrupting. - She aIways is.
I was checking to see if Dr. Burke secured the intern...
The intern you requested? He did.
[Addison] Define TTTS.
Twin-twin transfusion syndrome. Conjoined fetaI twins.
Connected by?
- BIood vesseIs in the pIacenta. - Meaning?
One twin gets too much bIood, the other too IittIe, endangering both.
I'd expect you to know that, Grey.
You said probabIy nothing couId be done.
TTTS is usuaIIy impossibIe to correct.
UnIess you are one of a handfuI of surgeons in the worId
who knows how to separate fetaI bIood vesseIs.
Which, IuckiIy for you, I am.
So we'II get you into surgery tomorrow.
If you have any questions at aII, pIease ask Dr. Grey.
From what I have seen, she is one of the hospitaI's most popuIar interns.
I couId've answered your question given a chance.
Chin up. I'm this tough on everyone, not just the women my husband sIeeps with.
Order an uItrasound for her and pre-op Iabs in...
Hi. Can I have the chart for E1 9, pIease? Thank you.
Oh, good, you're here. Let's get started.
OK.
- O'MaIIey. - Yeah?
- You're touching me. - Yeah.
No. Carmen...
I want you to Iisten to me very carefuIIy.
As Iong as I'm in here, I don't know what's happening out there.
With my doctors. My patients. My hospitaI.
You are my eyes today. My ears.
- I want you to be a sponge. - A sponge?
You report any and everything happening in this hospitaI to me.
- I'm an investigative sponge. - I'm not fooIing around.
There's too much been happening IateIy under my radar.
It stops today.
[woman on PA] IV nurse, call ICU extension 323 1.
Burke. You gave Grey to Addison. Are you sure about that?
That's not your caII, Shepherd. And for the record, I'm aIways sure.
Did you need me? As the new chief, I'm...
- Interim chief. - ''Chief" nonetheIess.
Ever attempt a standstiII surgery?
[Derek] It's the Iocation of the aneurysm that makes it tricky.
Your body temperature wouId be Iowered to protect it and stop the heart.
Which stops bIood fIow to the brain which reduces the risk of rupture.
I'II have 45 minutes to cIip the aneurysm.
- Before I get the heart started again. - You wanna freeze my body,
- drain my bIood, and stop my heart? - And bring you back.
- In under 45 minutes? - [Derek] Right.
- If you go over, is it free? - No.
Dr. Yang, you can go and handIe the pre-op Iabs now.
How much? How much does something Iike this cost?
[Derek] Don't worry about that right now.
Look, you guys say that you can kiII me and bring me back, I beIieve you.
You're doctors, but I own a bar.
I don't got any insurance so I'm not that concerned about the surgery
so much as what I'm gonna do when I survive it.
I need a number. Ten grand? Twenty?
- Thirty? - It's a coupIe hundred at Ieast.
At Ieast.
[AIex] Who's HaIIoran?
Patient in 41 1 5.
- [woman on PA] Dr. Cole, call the OR. - Red hair?
Wife knits aII the time? He had the coIectomy?
Ah, coIon dude. That's right. Who's Monterroso?
4238. Mom with the reaIIy cute kids.
She spiked a post-op fever. You spent two hours with her.
Hernia chick. That's right.
You've treated them for a week and you don't know their names?
In Surgery we don't waste time getting to know the patients.
- They're meat, we're butchers. - They're humans.
You do know what a human is, EviI Spawn?
I'm not eviI. UnIess eviI turns you on.
Do you ever wake up, reaIize nobody Iikes you, and, I don't know, care?
Oh. [chuckIes] I think somebody Iikes me.
[Yang] Hey.
What, you don't speak now you're chief? Burke!
- What do you want? - What?
What do you want? You don't want to go out to dinner.
You don't want to meet me in the on-caII room, and you don't want to taIk to me.
I couId pretend I know, but I don't have your home phone number.
- So teII me, what do you want? - Don't yeII at me.
- We're having a conversation. - What do you want?
I don't know!
Figure it out.
What's the report?
No report. It's very quiet today, sir.
There's no gossip? Surgeries I shouId know about?
- Now come on, what's the buzz? - You know, not in haIIs, not in OR.
Not in the stairweIIs.
EspeciaIIy nothing happening in the, you know... They're just stairweIIs.
[AIex woIf whistIes]
They toId me you were in a nightgown, but I thought I'd come see.
Very nice, huh.
Heard O'MaIIey Iaid you out coId. Nice eye.
- Whoa, who sent that? - We aII pitched in. The whoIe fIoor.
WeII, pIease, teII the whoIe fIoor a big thank you.
Yeah, I wiII.
AIex, you gotta get me out of here, man. Get me transferred to County HospitaI.
Not County. Here, they can kiII you and bring you back,
but at County, they can just kiII you. No joke.
I can't afford this pIace, man. I'm gonna Iose the bar.
- Hey, Joe, how you doing? - Hey, Scooter.
OK. That's mine?
- We'II start by saving your Iife. - The bar is my Iife. You know that.
You've been at Iast caII every night since you moved here.
I'm gonna have to shut it down or seII it.
You can't do that. PIace is an institution.
I've owned the bar across the street for 1 4 years,
and I've never been inside this hospitaI tiII now.
I'II pay my tab. That's gotta be good for something. How much is it?
CIose to a grand.
How about I pay, Iike, 60?
That's good. And I'II pay you back Iater.
Hey, champ!
[PA] Orderly, please report to station three. Orderly, report to station three.
What does it take to go after another woman's husband?
- Excuse me? - It happened to me.
Jeff moved in with a Iong-Iegged miniskirt who answers his phones
three weeks into my pregnancy. That geI is reaIIy coId.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry about your husband.
Are you sorry about Dr. Montgomery-Shepherd's husband?
I'm going to be checking a few things today.
I bet she asked to work with you. It's what I wouId have done.
I'm gonna go check on your Iabs.
[steady beeping]
[retches]
[fIushing]
Heya, sunshine.
Deep breath.
Morning sickness must suck.
Just so we're cIear,
do not breathe a word of what you heard Iast night to anyone.
Not about me. Not about Meredith. Not about Meredith and Dr. McDreamy...
- Hey, Dr. Burke. - Joe.
Um, vitaI signs stabIe overnight. Today's CT shows no re-bIeeding.
The EKG...
shows...
um, normaI sinus rhythm.
No ischemia, no dysrhythmias.
Looking good. Page me if there are any changes.
- [baby waiIs] - [George] Oh, hi, Chief.
No, not much going on.
Other than your interim chief making out with my friend in the stairweII,
but, hey... Sponge duty sucks.
- You taIking to yourseIf now? - Yes. No!
Damn it, I'm a bad sponge. A Ieaky sponge.
I'm gonna Ieak aII the wrong secrets.
I'm a bad Iiar, can't even Iie about taIking to myseIf.
You Iook nice today.
Wore my new Iip gIoss
'cause my ex-boyfriend's wife Iooks Iike IsabeIIa freakin' RosseIIini,
and I'm Iike... me.
I'm trying to outdo her when she's the victim here. How crazy is that?
Not crazy. Smart.
You know, gIoss, you know, prevents chapped Iips and... you...
Ex-boyfriend?
I'm an eviI mistress.
WeII, stiII. You Iook nice.
Thanks. What are you doing here?
[stutters]
Come on, O'MaIIey. Out with it.
OK. Can you think of any reason, any reason at aII, reaIIy,
why Cristina wouId be kissing Burke?
[elevator bell]
After aII this time. AII your warnings about me sIeeping with my boss,
- and you're doing the same thing? - It's not the same.
- It's the same... - You two are in a reIationship.
And you and Burke are in?
SwitzerIand. It's very neutraI there. And they make very nice watches.
Have you even bothered to teII Burke about the baby?
- Are you going to? - Look, Meredith, can we not go there?
Can everyone just accept that I Iike to keep some things to myseIf?
- I don't discuss everything to death. - WeII, why even confide in me at aII
if you're so intent on not discussing it?
Why even teII me?
When I found out about the miniskirt, I caIIed her up and took her to Iunch.
It was perfectIy civiI. I said I didn't hoId it against her,
that these things happened. But, reaIIy?
I wanted to put a face on the bitch
that got my husband to throw away 1 5 years of marriage.
- Got a second? - Depends on what you need.
Who the heII is Dr. McDreamy?
Me. I'm Dr. McDreamy.
I'm taII, handsome.
I Iean against things and ponder the difficuIties of dating beautifuI women.
I'm trying to be a surgeon here!
- That took a Iot of nerve. - She came highIy recommended.
- Right. - So you don't recommend her?
- I did not say that. - Just not her medicaI skiIIs.
- Dr. Shepherd. - [both] Yes?
Labs confirm what Iook Iike abnormaIities on the uItrasound.
- I think you shouId come and see. - Fine. Let's go.
- Meredith. Meredith... - Don't.
[PA] Any available IV nurse to OR Two. Any available IV nurse to OR Two.
WeII, no report.
You know, same nothing as earIier.
I shouId go.
Oh, actuaIIy there is something, sir.
- Burke and Shepherd marking territory? - No, sir.
It's about Joe. The bartender.
The standstiII patient.
See. BiIateraI pIeuraI effusion with evidence of subQ edema.
In EngIish, pIease?
We've detected what Iooks Iike beginning heart faiIure in the twins.
- Don't be aIarmed. - Are my babies gonna be OK?
I'm going to take you into surgery now. Book the OR.
Move.
[Joe] TeII Pete to wash out the taps every night. Not every other night.
And remind him that the deIivery truck comes at 6:00a.m. Kegs go in the back.
Oh, another thing. There's petty cash on the top sheIf in the storage cIoset.
We're operating on patients. That's it.
- I know, but... - I sympathize. I do.
But soIving Joe's finances is not my job, it's not your job,
and it's sure as heII not the job I assigned you today.
It seems wrong to cut him open, sew him up, and Ieave him, Ieft with nothing.
If we can save his Iife, we'II hardIy be Ieaving him with nothing.
[steady beeping]
That's as far as I can go for now. Let's start cooIing him.
Can't see much from back here, O'MaIIey.
I know. I'm trying to find a IoophoIe to heIp Joe.
- [George] You know Joe? - Oh, yeah.
I was the onIy femaIe intern my year.
I didn't know anybody and nobody knew me except Joe.
He knew me.
Oh. So, you and Joe?
AII you peopIe ever think about is how to get into somebody's pants.
You're nasty. That's why you got syphiIis.
Joe was the first person here to say I'd make a good surgeon.
Not that he knew anything about it. But it was somethin' when I had nothin'.
Oh, sure. I'm the guy with the heart of stone and you brought snacks.
- It's a working Iunch. - Snacks to watch Joe die.
He's not gonna ''die'' die. They'II bring him back.
He is going to ''die'' die. No ''puIse'' puIse. He'II be ''dead'' dead.
It's a granoIa bar, AIex.
Not a bag of supersize popcorn and a box of chocoIate movie mints.
That's it.
Dead!
Excuse me.
[Addison] JuIie, we're gonna go in IaparoscopicaIIy.
You're not gonna feeI anything. And neither are the twins.
OK, Iet's get going!
Ten bIade. Begin with a three-miIIimeter incision.
- [Burke] We stop the bIood fIow? - To protect the brain.
Operate in a bIoodIess fieId so the aneurysm won't rupture.
- [Burke] And cooI the body? - To induce hypothermia.
Keeps the tissue viabIe untiI the bIood is restored.
Body temp is at 60 degrees.
OK, Joe. Time to die.
[whirring]
- [continuous beep] - FIatIine.
- We've got 45 minutes, peopIe. - Start the cIock.
Got it.
[chatter]
[Derek] So what's your ''Joe'' story? Seems Iike everybody here has one.
You first.
OK. I went to Joe's pIace the night before I started working here.
I'd onIy been in town, you know, a few days.
I met a woman. I got drunk and she took advantage of me.
Or she got drunk and I took advantage of her.
I got drunk and she took... No. We were drunk. DefiniteIy.
Somebody took advantage. Either way, I Iook at it as my initiation to SeattIe.
- What about you? - Oh, I don't have one.
I just wanted to hear yours.
[George] So, technicaIIy, the paperwork just needs to be submitted
by midnight of the day of the surgery to be considered?
Oh, good. WeII, thank you very much. Thanks.
How you doing there, Grey?
Good. I'm good.
You know, I'm very sweet once you get to know me.
- No, you're not. - We couId be good friends.
- AIex. Never, ever. Ever. - Why not?
Give me one reason why we couId? What about you is even remoteIy human?
It's going too sIowIy.
- I hope Joe can puII through this. - He can. He wiII. He has to.
[Derek] Damn it. I can't get the clamp to hold.
Give me the bipoIars. I'm gonna go in at a different angIe.
Time remaining?
- [Derek] Irrigation, pIease. - 1 7 minutes.
Shepherd, I need eight minutes to get him back, to warm him up.
Time to make the next 1 7 minutes count.
[Derek] Right there, go in from there. See it?
See, that's why we can't do it right there.
[George] He's dead. TechnicaIIy.
Which is science, and this is a huge thing.
So some research foundation has to be interested.
So, in essence, you want to donate Joe's body to science?
At Ieast for the next 1 7 minutes.
- ''PrivateIy funded grant.'' - For educationaI purposes.
We're a teaching hospitaI. The standstiII surgery quaIifies.
I didn't peg you for the type to ignore my instructions.
AII due respect, sir, it's worth a shot. It's someone's Iife.
It's aIways someone's Iife, O'MaIIey.
You're hovering.
- You can Ieave now. - OK.
[grumbIes]
[nurse] Eight minutes.
We need to start rewarming, Shepherd.
Take the bipoIars, pIease. Thank you.
Shepherd, we need to start warming him up, now!
- Hang on. - Now. I need it now, Shepherd.
I can't seem to get... I just can't get behind the aneurysm.
If I couId get behind the aneurysm, I couId... There it is.
Got it. That's it.
- Are you sure? - I'm aIways sure.
[Derek] Good work, everybody. It's aII yours there, Chief.
OK, Iet's grab Joe before he decides to go into the Iight.
Start warming him up.
CIamps are coming off.
Turn the pump on.
Watch cerebraI perfusion pressures.
Keep M.A.P. at greater than 60, pIease.
[Richard] I know you're enjoying yourseIf, Preston.
It's a power kick to be the chief.
You're never more surrounded. Never more aIone.
You're everyone's father, everyone's boss, and no one's friend.
Choices you make. CIean sIices and neat stitches.
No emotions, no compromise, no personaI Iife.
- But, Richard... - I just had brain surgery.
I'm surrounded by fruit baskets.
The onIy peopIe who've been in this room come and kiss my ass.
I gave you a shot for a reason, Preston.
You and I, we're the same.
We put the job first.
That was the singIe most amazing surgery I have ever witnessed.
You, you kiIIed a man and brought him back to Iife.
You, Iike, raised the dead.
God, how does that feeI? Are you rushing? Is it...
Like you wouIdn't beIieve.
Hey, do you stiII have those reservations? 'Cause I'm starving.
Cristina, I think there's something we shouId discuss.
Yeah. Yeah, there is.
It's pretty cIear.
It is?
We've been fooIing ourseIves
to think that we can continue without consequences.
Consequences...
We have careers to think about.
Reputations.
We both put the job first.
You are very focused. I respect that.
- Thank you. - You're weIcome.
[PA] Any available IV nurse to OR two.
Oh, you're ending this?
I think it's best to make a cIean break.
OK.
Before it gets too invoIved. Before it gets...
Messy. Right, right. That wouId be bad.
It's nothing personaI.
Get in here, O'MaIIey.
OK. I tried. I reaIIy tried.
But there's a Iot of stuff happening out there. Stuff I can't teII you.
Stuff I won't teII you.
Crazy stuff.
Stuff I'm gonna have nightmares about.
But I'm not gonna teII you about any of it.
Because it doesn't matter.
Not when there's a guy who we aII know and Iove
who's gonna be bankrupt because he needed a surgery to save his Iife.
- I spent the whoIe day on it. - O'MaIIey...
Let me finish.
You're wrong, sir.
Now you can fire me, or bring me up on discipIinary action or whatever.
I'm teIIing you, Joe deserves...
Deserves our heIp. CouIdn't heIp yourseIf, couId you?
Whether or not it'd win you any points, even from me.
I signed your request.
Give it to Patricia, she'II know what to do.
- Joe may keep his bar after aII. - Thank you, sir.
- O'MaIIey! - Yes?
YeII at me again, and I'II snap you Iike a twig.
Yes, sir.
See? Just a smaII scar.
And my babies?
[PA] Dr. Cole, call the OR.
Your babies are doing very weII.
And Dr. Grey wiII be back to check on you a IittIe bit Iater.
I'd prefer it if Dr. Grey were taken off the case.
Why, is there a probIem?
Just reminds me of someone I don't Iike. Someone my husband Iikes a Iot.
ParticuIarIy in Iingerie. You understand.
No, no, I don't understand.
WeII, she's sIeeping with your husband, right?
Ms. PhiIips, I Iack Dr. Grey's cIass and patience
so, Iet me set the record straight.
My husband didn't cheat on me, I cheated on him.
So the wronged woman here, Dr. Grey.
So, I think you owe her one heII of an apoIogy.
One night I parked my car,
I unIock my front door, go inside my house, and something's different.
Nothing's different, everything's the same
but yet, stiII, something's different.
And I stand there for a whiIe.
And then I know.
See, there are moments for me, you know, usuaIIy when I'm in the OR,
when I just know what's gonna happen next.
So I go upstairs.
As I waIk down the haII, I try to prepare myseIf for what I'm gonna see
when I go into my bedroom.
I step on a man's jacket that doesn't beIong to me.
And everything I think I know... just shifts.
Because the jacket that doesn't beIong to me is a jacket that I recognize.
And what I know now is that when I go into my bedroom,
I'm not just gonna see that my wife is cheating on me.
I'm gonna see that my wife is cheating on me with Mark,
who happened to be my best friend.
It's just so pedestrian, common and dirty,
and crueI.
MostIy just crueI.
I Ieft. Came out here.
- And you met me. - And I met you.
WeII, what was I to you?
The girI you screwed to get over being screwed?
You were Iike coming up for fresh air.
It's Iike I was drowning and you saved me.
That's aII I know.
It's not enough.
[# Joe Purdy: The City]
[Meredith] They say practice makes perfect.
[engine]
Theory is, the more you think like a surgeon
the more you become one.
The better you get at remaining neutral, clinical.
Cut, suture, close.
And the harder it becomes to turn it off...
Thought I might see your ugIy mug in here tonight.
Did you hear the good news?
...to stop thinking like a surgeon.
[AIex] O'MaIIey!
I heard what you did, champ.
[Meredith] And remember what it means to think like a human being.
The cIinic has a poIicy.
They wouIdn't Iet me confirm my appointment
unIess I designated an emergency contact person.
Someone to be there, just in case,
and to heIp me home, you know, after.
Anyway, I put your name down.
That's why I toId you I'm pregnant. You're my ''person.''
I am?
Yeah, you are.
Whatever.
He dumped me.
You reaIize this constitutes hugging?
Shut up.
I'm your ''person.''
