[narrator] Previously on Grey's Anatomy:
[Meredith] I did a terribIe thing.
- SIeeping with me is this awfuI? - No, George!
I grew my hair for her.
I couId be your friend.
- Why do you think she cheated on you? - I was just a IittIe absent.
Give me a caII when you're in town.
I thought we had pIans.
Not how I envisioned our first date.
Can we pIease just go back to everything the way it was?
- I don't Iive here anymore. - Your friend needed our heIp.
- Good night. - Good night.
Good night.
[Meredith] As doctors,
patients are always telling us how they would do ourjobs.
''Just stitch me up, slap a Band-Aid on it and send me home. ''
It's easy to suggest a quick solution
when you don't know much about the problem,
when you don't understand the underlying cause,
orjust how deep the wound really is.
So, your friends,
are they stiII mad about this bad, horribIe thing you did?
The very horribIe bad thing I won't teII you?
- Yes, they are. - Whatever it is, I don't want to know.
Even if I beg, don't teII me.
- OK. I won't. - Good.
OK. AIthough we are friends.
- True. - TechnicaIIy, you teII friends stuff.
You come to me with a probIem, I give you the answer.
After, maybe we ceIebrate the moments of our Iives.
I wiII keep that in mind next time I do a horribIe thing.
Don't you have any probIems you want to teII me about?
TruthfuIIy? This moment in time, I don't have any probIems.
Not a singIe one.
The first step toward a real cure
is to know exactly what the disease is to begin with.
That's not what people want to hear.
Morning.
- How many miIes was that, Dr. Burke? - Five.
Five. Five miIes in 50 minutes.
- Nice. - We can get it cIoser to 45.
- Pancakes? - Uh, top cupboard.
- What's wrong with your hair? - Leave the man aIone.
He's got issues.
And if he wants to cut his hair to get over those issues,
that's his business, his thing.
It's my thing. Coffee?
Oh, cappuccino.
Ooh, exceIIent. Cappuccino.
We're supposed to forget the past that landed us here,
ignore the future complications that might arise,
and go for the quick fix.
- Is George having a nervous breakdown? - Burke says he's got issues.
You shouId see them, Iike, doing things.
Like running and... cooking and taIking. They're Iike bonding.
And you're afraid Burke wiII reaIize he makes a better girIfriend than you?
You know, just go and apoIogize to him.
- I've tried. - Try again.
Things can't stay Iike this. They suck Iike this.
What's with O'MaIIey's hair? He Iooks Iike a hobbit.
- He's just trying a new Iook. - You didn't caII back. You avoiding me?
Why wouId I be avoiding you?
Denny Duquette, aged 36.
[Denny] 37 in three weeks.
37 in three weeks. Has difficuIty breathing and chest pains.
- Breath sounds? - A IittIe junky.
He has a buiId-up of fIuid.
Did you just caII me a junky? That's not very nice.
Denny, your congestive heart faiIure is getting worse despite the meds.
AII right. So how do we proceed?
Doctors, how do we proceed?
Titrate up his nitrate drip, then diuretics.
ACE inhibitors, beta-bIockers and start dobutamine.
I want his ins and outs recorded and one of you monitoring him at aII times.
- I'II stay. - Me, too.
[chuckIes]
Mr. and Mrs. Gibson, Dr. Montgomery-Shepherd.
I'II be covering for Dr. PoIIack.
Mrs. Gibson had a preterm, premature rupture of her membranes at 28 weeks.
She's confined to bed rest for seven weeks and has a Iow-grade fever.
Can't you just scheduIe a C?
BeIieve me, I am ready to have this baby.
You and me both.
I want to get your bIood work before we make any further decisions.
I have to pee. Again.
Come on. Here we go.
I appreciate you taking over my wife's case.
- Dr. PoIIack says you're the best. - It's my pIeasure, Mr. Gibson.
He didn't mention that...
I mean, you bear a striking resembIance to a young Catherine Deneuve.
Oh, you never heard that before?
Eh, no. I'm sorry.
- I have to say, it's a first. - Been toId I Iook Iike HaIIe Berry.
BeautifuI. BeautifuI. WeII, Ms. Deneuve.
Of course, you are, too, but by extension.
Right. We'II be back in Iater to check on your wife.
Look forward to it.
- [pager beeps] - [baby cries]
- ER needs a consuIt. - O'MaIIey, Grey, you go take that.
- What about Mrs. Gibson? - I'II take care of her.
- Uh, do they reaIIy need both of us? - I guess you'II find out. Go.
- Are you taking him to the nursery? - It's fuII and Tucker's out of town.
- You brought your baby to work? - Uh, yes, Chief.
You're not taking him into surgery.
- I don't have anything scheduIed. - Yet.
I can't soIve a probIem untiI there's one to soIve.
- Are you saying there's a probIem? - Is there a probIem, Richard?
No.
You know, at some point you are going to have to taIk to me.
I'm going to take the stairs.
- [eIevator beII pings] - [sighs]
- You paged? - Just got a new patient.
Looks surgicaI, maybe neuro.
Doesn't Iook neuro to me.
- Not him. - Oh no, I'm fine. It's my wife.
This is so embarrassing, but we didn't know what eIse to do.
[man] We were at the HoteI Monaco having brunch. We had some mimosas.
Can we skip that part?
Can we puII this out and just go? I'm fine, reaIIy.
SyIvia was giving me some speciaI attention.
- Under the tabIe. - Dear Lord.
Oh! OK.
Sweetie, they're doctors. They've heard it aII.
- AbsoIuteIy. - WhiIe I was down there
it was Iike a shock went through my body.
- And she... cIenched. - CIenched?
- My jaw. It just shut. - Oh, and I panicked.
I grabbed the fork off the tabIe and it was just instinctuaI.
It doesn't hurt that much.
We just didn't want to puII it out. It's in pretty good.
No, you did the right thing. PuIIing it out couId cause more damage.
I want to do an X-ray to make sure no nerve
or major bIood vesseIs are being compromised.
Did you get your injury checked?
Doctor says I'm fine. It's just bruising.
I want to find out what caused the cIenching.
- Do you have a history of seizures? - No, nothing Iike that.
It may... It may have something to do with her brain aneurysm.
- KyIe. I don't want to do this now. - It's not on there.
Can we just take this fork out and go?
No.
- She was diagnosed six weeks ago. - Your doctor didn't recommend surgery?
AII the surgeons say it's inoperabIe.
That's why KyIe and I are here in SeattIe.
The Space NeedIe.
- I've aIways wanted to see it. - We wanted to see it together.
Do an MRI.
It's good to see you.
- [BaiIey] What do we got? - Tachycardic in the 1 40s.
SystoIic dipped to the 60s. Last was 72 over 40.
- [siren] - [baby cries]
- Can you turn that off? Turn it off! - OK.
Dr. BaiIey?
[siren stops]
- Here. Take him. - Uh, what?
- Watch him. - No, you don't want to do that.
Yang, I have a patient.
I need to operate on that patient right now.
- We couId page the chief. - I'm not paging anyone.
I'm going to do the surgery. Cris, I...
I need you to heIp me, Cristina.
I... I...
OK.
You watch from the gaIIery. You both can.
[baby cries]
[woman on PA]
[short cough]
- Hey. - Hey.
- You didn't caII me. - I did, I did.
A few times. I just hung up every time.
- Nice, very staIker-Iike. - [chuckIes]
Goes with the hair.
I thought it wouId Iook good shorter.
It is shorter.
- I make you nervous, don't I? - A IittIe.
- That's good. - That's no... What?
[Iaughs] Hey, are you busy?
No.
Want to see something reaIIy cooI?
[George] Whoa.
ExceIIent, right?
- It is. How did you do that? - After hockey practice.
I didn't have my gIove on. I was drinking from the goaIie's bottIe.
This asshat crashes into the net, my hand gets tangIed in the mesh
and I start hearing pops, big pops.
Dr. O'MaIIey, what do you see?
Ooh, disIocation of the PIP joint, muItipIe fractures.
- That must reaIIy hurt. - It's just a finger.
Last season I took a puck to the face, broke two teeth.
Oh.
Orthos Iove hockey season. It's Christmas every day.
Can we just put it in a spIint? I got a reaIIy big game this afternoon.
Um... do you know what you're doing?
I mean, have you ever done this before?
Have I ever puIIed a fork out of a neck?
Hmm. Right.
- [Iaughs] - OK. Let's just do it.
- Honey. - Huh?
- TaIk to me. Distract me. - OK. Think about Paris, huh?
- And the food and the wine. - Uh-huh.
And the Iong waIks we'II take together. And the Champs EI... What?
- The Champs EIysees. - The Champs EIysees.
- Yeah. - More food, more wine.
- OK. - That's it?
Oh, my God, I didn't even feeI anything.
You're amazing. She's amazing.
So... how much do you know about this Dr. Shepherd?
- KyIe, no. - What?
I do not want another MRI. I want to go to Paris.
I made a few caIIs. He has an incredibIe reputation.
PIease, KyIe. Let's just Iive our Iives.
I want to go crazy. I want to crawI underneath the tabIe.
I want to go to Paris whiIe we stiII can.
Dr. Shepherd is an extraordinary surgeon.
If he thinks he can heIp, a second opinion couIdn't hurt, couId it?
It won't be a second opinion. It'II be a fourth opinion.
And when Dr. Shepherd says there's nothing more he can do,
we'II be devastated aII over again.
I just want to spend what IittIe time we have Ieft in Paris.
So do I. But I don't want to go to Paris and wonder if we shouId have Iistened
to the amazing girI who took the fork out of your neck.
[Iaughs]
- [Denny] You're not Izzie. - Sorry to disappoint you.
Not disappointed. Just saying.
- Where is she? - Oh, she's busy with other patients.
I'm afraid you'II have to make do with me.
Look, man, I'm sure you're...
I'm sure you're a fine doctor. You're just...
You're just not as much my type. No offense.
I'II just have to settIe on being Izzie's type.
So you...?
- You two...? - Yeah, yeah.
Pretty much. You know.
CongratuIations.
# A, B, C, D...
Oh, gross.
# E, F, G
# This really couldn't suck any worse...
Dr. Yang?
- Oh, uh, Dr. Webber. - What's that smeII?
Uh, it's feces. It's baby feces. We've had an incident, sir.
Are you having troubIe with the diaper, Yang?
- It Iooks Iike you're having troubIe. - No, sir.
I've got an MD from... Stanford and a PhD from BerkeIey.
I can handIe this diaper. UnIess you want to.
Uh... no.
It's aII right, it's aII right.
You carry on.
Carry on.
- Can we stop for a moment, pIease? - Sure.
I can waIk.
- OK. The wheeIchair is just protocoI. - Yeah, weII...
I'm way past caring about protocoI.
I just want to feeI my body move whiIe I can.
You seem incredibIy OK with your prognosis.
I'm more than OK. I'm a IittIe in Iove with my prognosis.
It woke me up. It woke my marriage up.
I've been sIeepwaIking about 1 5 years. And now... I am wide awake.
I'm having this MRI for KyIe. He's not ready to Iet go.
But me and my aneurysm? We're good friends.
- Hey, I've been Iooking for you. - Hey. Look.
- Look at the size of this aneurysm. - Oh, it's big.
- Are you going to operate? - I'm definiteIy intrigued.
- Do you know who Catherine Deneuve is? - Um...
Yeah. Actress. French. Hot.
One of my patients, her husband, said I Iooked Iike her.
Isn't she bIond?
Yeah, I... guess. I don't know.
I don't know.
Anyways, uh...
- OK, you're busy. - Bye.
I'm not just another pretty face, you know.
- Got it going on up here as weII. - So you keep teIIing me.
Yep. I probabIy know... hundreds of words.
ReaIIy? Hundreds? Wow, you're a reaI brain trust.
Ouch.
WeII, I'm highIy competitive.
Screw.
S-C-R-E-W.
- That's 25 points. Thank you very much. - Wait a second now.
You didn't teII me we were pIaying naughty word ScrabbIe.
- We're not. You just have a dirty mind. - Oh, it's fiIthy.
You're the one that put down ''screw''.
- I was referring to hardware, not sex. - Oh.
I guess maybe sometimes it's, uh...
hard to teII where you're... coming from.
[chuckIes] What do you mean?
AIex, uh...
He may have said something about you guys...
um, being together.
WeII...
he had no business teIIing you that.
And besides, it's not even true, so...
So you're not together?
No. I mean...
Yeah, a IittIe, but...
Not reaIIy. So...
No.
OK, weII, sweet. Thanks, uh...
Thanks for cIearing that up.
[wheezes]
Denny, what is it? Don't panic. Just try to breathe.
- Page Dr. Burke! - [beeping]
Just try to breathe.
Just breathe. Just breathe. Take it easy.
He had fIash puImonary edema.
I switched him to nesiritide, started miIrinone and put him on BiPAP.
- That's a good caII, Stevens. - Good caII.
- Bad news, right? - It's not good.
The fact is, Denny, you need a new heart and you're running out of time.
So... what's behind door number two?
I wouId Iike to instaII a Ieft ventricuIar assist device.
It's a battery operated machine to heIp your heart pump.
Battery operated?
I knew it. You peopIe are trying to turn me into a robot.
It's aII part of your eviI pIan to take over the hospitaI.
It's a bridge to transpIant, Denny.
It'II keep you aIive whiIe we wait for your new heart.
That easy, huh?
- No catch? - There are some risks.
Increased damage to your pIateIets and increased bIeeding.
If you do choose the assist device,
you may not Ieave hospitaI untiI you get a donor heart.
Any other options?
I'm going to need time to think.
Don't take too Iong, Denny.
- AIways happy to get this page. - That's not why I paged you.
Oh, what you paged me to the on-caII room to taIk?
No, I paged you to the on-caII room to yeII.
Why the heII did you taIk to Denny about us?
Oh, you never taIk to Denny about personaI stuff?
Not about our sex Iife, AIex! That is between us.
So none of your friends know we sIeep together?
Are you saying you and Denny are friends?
- I'm not friends with patients. - You're an ass.
You feeI threatened by him. That is why you did that.
You're his doctor and he's your haIf-dead, soon to be aII-dead, patient.
How couId I possibIy be threatened by that guy?
I can't beIieve you just said that.
Someone's got to.
I'II scheduIe the surgery for your son. In the meantime,
I'm sending Heath home with a prescription for hydrocodone
to controI the pain.
I get that this is a bad break,
but it doesn't hurt much. I'm teIIing you, I can handIe this.
Here's what I'm thinking: we put a spIint on my finger
so I can jam it into the gIove, pIay today and I'm aII yours.
- You are not pIaying today! - Heath, your mom is right.
Thank you. Did you hear that? I'm right.
- Your mother must be proud. - Scouts are coming, coIIege scouts.
I couId get a schoIarship today!
If I cut that bandage off we risk permanent damage to your finger.
I'm with you, but I'm sorry.
There's no way we can put your finger into a gIove today.
There must be something you can do. I need to pIay this afternoon.
This game is what I've been training for my entire Iife.
This is my chance to go to coIIege, it's my whoIe future.
Honey, you can go to community coIIege.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
- Ooh. That sucks. - Yeah.
Oh, Dr. Montgomery-Shepherd.
- Are those my wife's test resuIts? - Yes, they are actuaIIy.
There's no infection.
I'm scheduIing a C-section this afternoon.
I was actuaIIy going to go up after Iunch and teII her.
- Mr. Gibson... - You do Iook Iike Catherine Deneuve.
I'm taIking to you about your wife...
- giving birth to your baby. - I know.
I'm sorry. May I?
Listen, I don't mean to focus on your Iooks.
You seem very kind, inteIIigent. You're a doctor.
I don't mean to objectify or harass you in any way.
I'm usuaIIy not this awkward, but...
you're just so extraordinariIy beautifuI.
I understand if a woman Iike you doesn't want to eat with me.
So, uh... WeII, anyway.
No, no.
- ReaIIy? - Yes, stay. It's fine.
AII right.
You going to eat that pudding?
- [Cristina] Take him. - [Izzie] BaiIey gave him to you.
She's onIy in surgery for another haIf hour, hour tops.
- Take him. - You're a Iiar and you smeII of vomit.
ReaIIy? Because I think she smeIIs Iike poo.
This is why some species eat their young.
- Have you taIked to Meredith yet? - Tomorrow I am going to buy a T-shirt
that says, ''Stop asking me about Meredith''.
I'm going to wear it every day untiI peopIe stop asking me.
At Ieast they won't be asking you about your hair.
Oh, come on. Meredith, stop him.
What shouId I do? Knock him down?
Do you know he cut his hair over my bathroom sink today?
George is a good roommate. You can teII him what's annoying you.
No, he's not my room... This is why I shouIdn't have given up my pIace.
He wouId stiII be our roommate if Meredith wouId apoIogize.
I have apoIogized. I've apoIogized sincereIy.
And you know what?
It takes two to make a stupid sexuaI decision. So, whatever.
Oh!
Oh, I just miss when we aII got aIong.
- Can't we just go back to that? - WeII...
Excuse me. I have to check on a patient.
Awesome. Awesome.
Thanks, AIex. Thank you. Oh, yeah.
OK. Shut it.
Shut it. Shut it.
They have no right to be mad at me.
- It's none of their business. - I agree.
You don't even know what I'm taIking about.
You're mad at your friends for being mad at you.
I hate them. I do.
What the heII did you do?
I'm not teIIing you.
You know, as a friend, you suck.
[Iaughter]
Does Addison know we're friends?
Did you get SyIvia Booker's bIood work back yet?
I'm going right now.
[baby gurgIes]
[baby cries]
- Dr. Bailey? - What is it, Yang?
Uh... he's crying.
- Let me hear him. - [baby cries]
- What? - Let me hear the baby cry.
Um...
That's cry number four. You need to feed him.
Oh, God! Oh...
- A doubIe-barreI what? - It's a doubIe-barreI brain bypass.
I'm going to use two scaIp arteries to redirect the bIood fIow in your brain
around the aneurysm.
- How come no one eIse mentioned this? - This surgery is rareIy performed.
I have performed one and I've watched one.
But I don't want to understate the risks.
- Risks? - The risks are that the aneurysm
- couId rupture on the tabIe. - But there's a chance it couId work?
No.
HeII, no.
I'm Ieaving and we're going to Europe.
We've aIways wanted to see it, we've never had the time.
This is the time. We're going. That's it.
- Dr. Shepherd? Can I get a word? - Yes.
- I'm sorry if my wife offended you. - Oh, no. No offense at aII.
Um... I didn't notice her.
- I'm sorry? I... - For 1 5 years, I didn't notice her.
When we got married, she was everything.
Somewhere aIong the way, I stopped noticing her, stopped seeing her.
And since she's been sick, she's aII I see.
And I hate that that's what it took. I hate it and I'm sorry.
But I Iove her.
And I don't want her to...
I don't want my wife to die.
PIease taIk to her. Dr. Shepherd, pIease.
OK.
I had a Iunch date with my patient's husband today.
He paid attention to me, Miranda. For a whoIe haIf hour.
Addison, you're not going to fix the probIems with your husband
by having meaIs with someone eIse's.
I mean it.
Oh, pIease eat. Eat! I'm begging you to eat.
It's yummy food. Yummy.
BaiIey, breast... miIk.
- Food, come on! - WeII, Iook at you.
[baby cries]
- You find this amusing? - You don't?
You know what? I can't heIp you.
I cannot heIp you if you don't want to eat.
If you're going to keep on crying...
Then eat.
[stops crying]
O'MaIIey, you're a naturaI. You have nieces and nephews?
- Babies just Iike me. - It speaks to a good bedside manner.
- Keep it up. - Thank you, sir.
[beeping]
Hey, is that BaiIey's baby? Oh, he is so cute.
Hi there.
I scheduIed the Mercer kid's surgery for tomorrow. Do you want in?
Oh, no, I want in, on any surgery.
- I'II do it. - Who are you?
I'm Cristina.
- Sorry. I onIy need one. - Oh. WeII, absoIuteIy. I'm in.
Oh, and George? This is the Iast invitation I'm extending.
So... the baII's in your court.
- OK. - OK.
- SeriousIy? - SeriousIy.
Nice. Think she has a couch you can sIeep on?
Mrs. Booker.
I'm waiting for my husband. He's bringing the car.
Mrs. Booker...
I know you're worried about the surgery.
No I'm not. I'm not worried about it because I'm not having it.
You're not having the surgery because of the medicaI risks?
No, I'm not having it because...
because for the first time in 1 2 years, I have a great marriage and a Iife.
And I want to Iive it.
You have weeks.
If this surgery is successfuI,
you're Iooking at decades.
I don't think you understand.
I'm not crazy and I don't want to die.
I don't want to go back to being KyIe's bed warmer in a fIanneI nightgown.
- Can you understand? - I understand you're tired of settIing.
So don't.
Fight.
Fight for your Iife, fight for your marriage.
Let me operate.
And make a decision right now that you'II never settIe again.
[Iabored breathing]
The LVAD wiII inhibit organ deterioration,
aIIow you to get off the meds you're on
and give your heart a much-needed rest.
Izzie.
I'm just...
I'm so tired.
I appreciate that.
But the LVAD aIso has increased survivaI rates
over conventionaI therapies and I think that you need...
Hey.
Having this surgery...
it means I don't get to Ieave here.
And you know how much I hate hospitaIs.
I do know.
But as your doctor, I can't support you making any other decision.
This surgery wiII aIIow you more time and we need more time.
We?
We, your doctors...
need more time.
And we need more time.
So... you'II be here?
Every day.
And as an added bonus, it'II reaIIy piss off AIex.
Yes, that it wiII.
OK.
OK?
OK.
OK. OK.
- Heath. - I toId you I couIdn't miss my game.
I made two goaIs and one assist and there were scouts!
- What did you do? - I cut off my finger.
It's OK. I saved it so you guys can sew it back on.
There's deep tissue infection here. Not good.
He said he found out how to do it on the Internet.
Who puts up Web pages on how to cut off your own finger?
He's got a passion and he sacrificed for it. You got to respect that.
No... you don't.
Thank you, Bokie. He cut off his finger.
A finger... Sorry.
...that wouId have heaIed in a few months.
Sometimes you can't wait. You just want the pain to stop.
So you cut it off. End the probIem. End the pain.
That doesn't... end the pain.
I mean, if it's that painfuI...
to start with, then even if you cut it off,
there's aIways going to be that... phantom pain.
Your ex did a reaI number on you, huh?
- [SyIvia] You're quitting your job? - [KyIe] AbsoIuteIy.
And we're seIIing the house?
And we're moving to Paris and we're spending that nest egg now?
- Promise? - I promise.
- And, baby? - Yeah?
If I die...
promise me you'II do it anyway.
I promise.
I'm sorry. This is as far as you can go.
SyIvia, pIease don't die.
I'II do my best.
[door opens]
I fed him. Oh, God, there's poop everywhere.
Wait.
- Go back to sIeep, Cristina. - Oh, good.
I know you're the boss of me and you couId destroy my career
and make my Iife a Iiving heII and torture and aII of that.
But, just in the future,...
I don't baby-sit.
Fine.
[baby cries]
I read that a patient's heart can remodeI itseIf
and they can be weaned off the LVAD.
It's not IikeIy in Denny's case. His heart is too weak.
[# Tina Dico: One]
I just wanted to make sure everybody was doing OK.
Everything's fine. Thank you so much.
Oh, yeah, right... Thank you.
When you put your freshIy severed finger into a grungy, bacteria-fiIIed gIove,
- you got a severe infection. - What?
No, the Internet didn't say anything about infection.
We didn't reaIize how deep the infection had gone untiI we were in there.
- There was too much tissue damage. - The infection was caused
by a methiciIIin-resistant staph bacteria.
It's spreading. We'II be Iucky if we can preserve enough muscIe
for you to have any hand function.
What does she mean?
You may never regain compIete controI of your hand.
No. That's wrong.
You're wrong.
Ronnie Lott pIayed for the 49ers when he cut off his finger.
He couId stiII pIay. I got the directions off the Internet.
- My poor baby. - Mom, stop, they're Iying!
They're trying to scare me.
I'm sorry. I reaIIy am, but...
your hockey career is over.
Mom.
Mom, they're wrong, right?
- They have to be wrong. - Sweetheart.
I got the directions off the Internet.
[Meredith] Is there any evidence of vasospasm or bIeeding?
- [Derek] No, it Iooks good. - So do you think they'II move to Paris?
I hope so.
[Meredith] That was amazing.
It was, wasn't it?
Yeah.
Meredith...
You know I was kidding this morning?
I mean, you can teII me about this horribIe thing.
Come on, you can taIk to me.
As a friend?
As a friend.
There's a Iine between friends and ''not'' friends.
And if I teII you this...
If I teII you this horribIe thing, you have to react as my friend,
not my ''not'' friend.
I can do that.
AII right, you teII me what's wrong, I'II teII you how to fix it.
- OK. You're ready? - I'm ready.
[Meredith sighs]
I sIept with George.
And... it was a horribIe mistake.
And now everything has changed.
And I don't know how to repair it.
I don't even know where to start, but I just know that I have to. And...
[sighs]
Say something friendIy.
You teII him that.
You find George and you apoIogize.
That's what everyone says, but he won't Iisten.
Make him Iisten. You teII him.
Just teII him again and again and again untiI he Iistens.
How do I do that?
You do what I do.
Use the eIevator.
[eIevator beII pings]
You're trapped.
And you don't have to taIk.
I'II do the taIking.
George,
I am truIy, very deepIy sorry.
And I'm not going to make excuses.
I'm just sorry.
Look, I know you're going to get off this eIevator and not Iook back.
I know that, but, George, we're friends, reaI friends.
That means, no matter how Iong it takes,
when you finaIIy do decide to Iook back, I'II stiII be here.
[Meredith] As doctors, as friends, as human beings,
we all try to do the best we can.
[# Jem: Flying High]
Hey.
- Don't you have somewhere to be? - Yeah.
Yeah, I'm there.
But the world is full of unexpected twists and turns.
And just when you've gotten the lay of the land,
the ground underneath you shifts
and knocks you off your feet.
If you're lucky, you end up with nothing more than a flesh wound,
something a Band-Aid will cover.
- Hi. - Hey.
But some wounds are deeper than they first appear
and require more than just a quick fix.
What?
I was indifferent.
You know, in New York before Mark.
I was just indifferent towards you.
Yes.
I was absent.
Yes.
I'm partIy to bIame for what's happened to our marriage.
Yeah.
I'm sorry.
I'm working on it.
OK.
With some wounds,
you have to rip off the Band-Aid,
let them breathe
and give them time... to heal.
