Richard: Each of you
comes here today hopeful...

Miranda: I have five rules.
Memorize them.

Can anybody name...

Meredith:
So, you might be thinking...

Rule number five...
When I move, you move.

I've been here before.

Trauma protocol...

This is familiar.
This is old hat.

[ Distant voices ] Maybe you're
wondering why are we here?

But I promise

you're about to find out
that everything has changed.

[ Anni rossi's
"rude boy" plays ]

What the hell are you doing?!

¶ Come here, rude boy, boy ¶ you
want to swing? It feels good.

¶ Can you get it up? ¶
no! No, no, no!

We talked about this.
¶ come here, rude boy, boy ¶

no, we mused about it.
And then we went to bed.

I think it's a great idea.
Let's open up the space.

Get a little light in here.

¶ Come here, rude boy, boy ¶
or bad... it's a bad idea.



Who wants open or sun?
Bad sun. I hate sun.

I'm used to living
with someone who knows me,

who knows not to change the
channel during the commercials,

someone who knows not to punch
a hole in my living-room wall.

[ Sniffs ] You know, it's
not that big of a hole.

We can probably just patch it right up.
¶ let you be a rider ¶

I bet she tries to patch it up,
instead of trying

to just imagine the possibility.

Maggie: But, I mean,
it is Meredith's house.

¶ Tonight I'm gonna let you
take me higher ¶

I mean, it's my house.
And I let her live there.

I should know better.
Why don't I learn?

I take in strays
because they're sad.

They're lonely and homeless.

The truth is strays

are flea-ridden creatures
who pee on your stuff.

Am I a stray?

I mean, she acts like
I'm some kind of animal,

when who does the dishes? Me.

Yep. Who makes sure the piles
and piles of dirty laundry

are fluffed and folded? Me.

When she puts my clothes away,

I can't find my own clothes
in my own house.

I mean, they're probably
just in your drawers.

It's a problem.

What's her problem?

Meredith: It's just...
She's just...

She's just impossible.
Just impossible.

¶ Come on, rude boy, boy,
and you're big enough ¶

¶ take it, take it ¶

hey! You excited? ¶ Baby, baby ¶

¶ love me, love me ¶ about...?

April.
She's coming in tonight, right?

¶ Take it, take it, love me,
love me ¶ oh, um, yeah.

¶ Take it, take it,
love me, love me ¶

I still think you should bow out

of this anatomy class
you signed up to teach.

I mean, pawn it off
on grey or someone else.

You're not gonna have time
to teach a class

once you've been
appointed chief.

[ Elevator bell dings ]
Haven't been appointed yet.

[ Sighs ]

Um, do you know her?

Uh, that's Dr. Tracy McConnell.

[ Indistinct conversation ] Chief cardio
at Hopkins, Yale grad, Yale meds.

Sages award recipient.

She's Catherine's candidate
for chief.

[ Elevator bell dings ]

Dr. Webber. Ah. Hey.

It is such an honor.

I have been wanting
to meet you for years.

Your work with islet cells,
it's just absolutely inspiring.

[ Chuckles ]

Well... Thank you. Thank you.

[ Clearing throat ]

Oh, uh, all right, I'm sorry.
Uh, this is Dr. miran...

Dr... yeah,
Miranda Bailey, of course.

Hello. Oh! D...

Uh, I'm a-afraid
you may have gotten your times

a little wrong, Dr. McConnell.

Our presentations to the board
aren't until 4:00 P.M. today.

Actually, I asked Dr. Webber
if he wouldn't mind taking

some time this morning
to show me around.

You know, give me a little tour.

Yeah. I wasn't
invited on any tour.

Um, you know
where everything is.

[ Elevator bell dings ]

Uh, don't you have
some surgeries, doctor?

Nothing that can't be pushed.

Great.

Mm-hmm. Sounds fun.

[ Elevator bell dings ]
[ Scoffs ]

That's one word for it.

So, what time's
the thing tonight?

What thing?

For April.
She comes back tonight, right?

Isn't...
Aren't we doing a thing?

Big night, Avery.
When's Kepner getting in?

No idea.

Then what time's the thing?
There is no thing.

Oh. Should we clear trauma one

to remove the giant bug
from Avery's ass?

[ Chuckles ] Sheesh.

Hey. I need advice.

Okay.

I got tickets
for this concert thing,

and I'm thinking
about asking Amelia,

but she and I... we don't
really go to things together.

Not that we couldn't,

but [Sighs] should I,
you know, ask her out?

[ Siren wailing in distance ]
What do you think?

I think you're over-thinking.

[ Sighs ] You're late.

I know. I'm sorry.

I got stuck behind a train
that just stopped forever.

I mean... I'm sorry. You
s... you said a crash?

I finally turned around,
but they shouldn't be allowed

to do that, right,
just stop on the tracks?

I really don't care, okay?
You missed rounds.

A pedestrian? T-two pedestrians? It's
irresponsible is what it is, of the train.

Two pedestrians
were hit by a train?

What?

Oh, my god.

And they're alive?

Yeah, uh...

Oh, my god. Two girls were hit by
a train on their way to school.

[ Scars on 45's
"wrecking ball" plays ]

Kids. Um... Wow.

They're just kids.

[ Siren wailing in distance ]

¶ We clawed ¶

Jessica Tanner, 15 years old.

Moving train swiped her, then
tossed her down the embankment.

Gcs is 15. Pressure's 100 palp.

Right side took all the brunt.
One big bruise.

Jessica: There's a shortcut
to... to school.

I-I take it every day
over... The tracks.

She's tachy at 120.

Callie: All right,
I'm gonna need a doppler

to check these extremities for pulses.
I-i-i tripped.

You know, my foot... it got
stuck in between the tracks.

¶ I will always want you ¶
shh. Shh, shh.

Try to stay calm, Jess. Have you
seen the other girl? She...

¶ I can't live a lie ¶

she just showed up
out of nowhere.

She... she tried to push me
out of the way.

Uh, uh, uh, somebody?!
I'm not sure what to do here!

¶ I came in like a
wrecking ball ¶ [ Groans ]

Help get
the other patient inside.

Go. Torres.

¶ I never hit so hard in love ¶
take a look a this.

Oh. ¶ All I wanted was
to break your walls ¶

hey. It's gonna be
all right, Jess.

We're gonna take care of you...
Both of you. Okay?

¶ Wre-e-e-ck me ¶

¶ yeah, you,
you wre-e-e-cked me ¶

let's go. Go.

[ Monitors beeping ]

Hang two units of "o" neg,
check the pelvic binder,

and prep her
for a rapid-sequence intubation.

Any word on her name?
Her parents?

Uh, I don't think
she had any I.D.

¶ I put you high up in the sky ¶ did
you look? Did you check her bag?

Okay, where do you need me?
She needs an ex lap.

One of her legs was ripped
completely away from the other.

She has a wishbone injury.

The force of the train
broke her pelvis

and split her insides apart.

I'm gonna need to stabilize
her pelvis and extremities,

but not before you guys
address her internal injuries.

Pupillary reflexes are sluggish.

She's gonna need a head C.T. to
rule out a traumatic brain injury.

All right,
you got a name for me yet?

Uh, no,
but I found some textbooks.

Sophomore, junior, maybe.

I'm guessing
she's about 16 years old.

Okay, hang on, hang on.
Shh, quiet.

¶ I can't live a lie, running for
my life ¶ [ Breathing raggedly ]

Mom. ¶ I will always want you ¶

I want my mom.

¶ I never meant to start a war ¶

Owen: Grey, we're gonna
need to intubate. Okay.

We don't have much time.
Go ahead.

¶ I just wanted you
to let me in ¶

¶ and instead of using force ¶

[ siren wailing in distance ] ¶ I
guess I should have let you in ¶

¶ I never meant to start a war ¶

good. You're here.

She's got multiple
complex injuries.

She needs to go to the O.R.
for a washout.

Hemothorax on her right side
that needs to be drained.

Jess.

Have you seen her...
The other girl?

I-is she still alive?

Jess, can you tell me her name?

I-I-i don't know her. So...

¶ I will always love you ¶

[ monitor beeping ]

You have the same hearts
drawn on your arms.

¶ Came in like a wrecking ball ¶

I think you do know each other.

¶ I never hit so hard in love ¶

her name's Aliyah.

And you two were out there
together?

Yes.

Your foot didn't get caught
on the tracks, did it?

¶ I came in
like a wrecking ball ¶

honey, tell me
what happened out there.

¶ Yeah, I just closed my eyes
and swung ¶

we just wanted to be together.

¶ Left me crashing
in a blazing fall ¶

¶ all you ever did was ¶

dead or alive.

¶ Wre-e-e-ck me ¶

¶ yeah, you,
you wre-e-e-cked me ¶

¶ yeah, you,
you wre-e-e-cked me ¶

and this is one of our

state-of-the-art
radiology suites.

We have just installed

new data-processing systems
with simultaneous...

Simultaneous multi-slice
holographic imaging.

Yeah. Wow.

I mean, that kind of imaging's
the wave of the future.

Wave of the future. [ Chuckles ]
I couldn't agree more.

[ Beeping ]

Do you mind
if I take a look around?

Be my guest.

Thank you.

[ Indistinct talking over P.A. ]

Is this the new s.E. 700?

Yes, we just had it upgraded.

Admit it. You like her.

Mm, she's a solid candidate, certainly.
The interface is so easy to use.

But so is Bailey.

Bailey knows you too well.

You all have been together
too long.

She doesn't push you, Richard.

Better than that. But in a chief, you
need a chief who knows how to push back.

Are you implying she's soft?

Because Miranda Bailey
is anything but soft.

I'm saying that
she's too comfortable here.

We need someone
who will make us uncomfortable,

someone that'll walk in here
and push us to be the best.

We need someone
who will surprise us.

And you know it.

Instant access to case imaging

would really assist
with patient care.

You're only 15. You want to die?

It's more complicated than that.

You were standing
in front of a train.

We weren't suicidal. We just...

Okay, Jess, I'm gonna tell you

something personal
about myself, okay?

Okay.

I like men... Romantically,
sometimes.

And I like women, too.

It's a big, big part of my life.

Can I ask you something personal
about yourself?

Do you like... Girls?

Do you...

Do you like Aliyah?

I love her.

¶¶

What were you two
doing out there?

It's not that we wanted to die.

This was just...

The only way
that we could stay together...

[ Gasps ] ...You know, forever.

No. No, Jess.
There are so many other ways.

I...Killing yourself
solves nothing.

It... My parents...

[ Sighs ]
They're sending me away...

To a camp.

They come and get you
in the middle of the night,

and they take you to this place.

They change you.

They're gonna make me
change my mind about Aliyah.

No, they won't. There's no way.

Those places don't work.
They never work.

Your parents are doing this?

Please. Please,
you can't call them.

Please don't tell them that I...

They're the whole reason
why I'm even here.

Please. You can't call them.

Dakhir: Aliyah's a good girl.
She wouldn't miss school.

Why would she be out
on the train tracks?

This doesn't make sense.

She suffered extensive injuries.

She needs surgery.
I just need your consent.

Well, she's o... she's okay?
She's awake? She can talk?

No, she's unconscious.

She did ask for her mother.

Her mother's dead.

If I could just have
your consent for the surgery...

Yes.

Excuse me. Excuse me.
We're looking for our daughter.

Jessica Tanner.
Can you find us a doctor?

I'm a doctor.

I'm one of your daughter's
doctors, actually.

Well, where is she?

We want to see her immediately,
please.

They said she was hit...
By a train?

Yes. Dakhir: A train?

I think our daughters might have

been out on the tracks together.

Jess was with your daughter?

Yeah.

What's her name?

Aliyah. I'm dakhir hamed.

You keep your damn daughter
away from our little girl.

¶¶

[ telephone rings ]

¶¶

Hey.

Hmm. No one's taken a tab.

Why hasn't anyone taken a tab?

I don't know.

Uh, what I do know is the labs
came back on the wilbanks baby.

Everything looks good there.

Hmm. My flier's
perfectly placed.

It's clear,
aesthetically pleasing.

I mean, people have taken
tabs from other fliers.

I'm sorry. Why do you need
a roommate? You have a house.

Had a house.
Callie and I sold it.

Now it turns out I need a little
help in the rent department.

Oh. You'd be surprised how many
patients can't afford my fees.

I mean, what am I gonna do?

Gonna look parents in the eye
and tell them

I can't treat their teeny, tiny,
little sickly babies?

Hey!

Do you need a place to live?

[ Scoffs ] Me live with you?
God, no. [ Chuckles ]

I-I just...
Uh, um, I already have a place.

Take a tab anyway.

I mean, someone
has to take a tab.

It'll make
other people take tabs.

It's like putting money
in your tip jar.

It just encourages tipping.

I just... I'm gonna go...

Check on things...
Away from here.

[ Elevator bell dings ]

Meredith: Clamp.

3-0 prolene.

I could use
a little breathing room here.

A little more.

I can't move any more,

or I won't be able to
zero the neuro monitor.

Everything okay?

She's just mad about the wall.

What wall?

Just stand and suction.
Not talking to you.

We did talk about
taking it down.

You talked about it.
I was drinking Tequila.

Okay, you said
it was a good idea.

I should remember.
I was the sober one.

Well, I said
I would think about it.

But the words
that you said were,

"let's take the bitch down."

That was the Tequila talking.

So, when you said
this was my home, too,

that I should think of it
that way,

that was the Tequila talking,
too?

Yeah, that sounds like
something Tequila would say.

Can you suction over here,
please?

Mm-hmm. Hey,
is it a load-bearing wall?

'Cause if it is, it can actually
bring the whole house down.

[ Metal thuds ]

[ Clears throat ]

Yeah, Aliyah and I, we like
to pass notes at school...

The kind that you fold
a million different ways.

[ Chuckles ]

And I kept them... every single
one in a box under my bed

you know, so I could re-read
them when I had bad days.

Bad days?

Sometimes kids at school...

People suck, you know,

like to tease us, throw things.

And the other day, I came home,
and my mom was in my room.

She had found my box of notes.

And she burned them
in the fireplace.

[ Door opens ]

[ Indistinct talking over P.A. ]

Uh, Jess' parents
want to see her

and speak to her surgical team.

They're here?

Tell them she's in pre-op.

They will have to wait to see
Jess until after surgery.

[ Door opens ]

You're making Aliyah out to be
some kind of terrible influence.

Because she is. She took
advantage of our daughter.

Jess didn't know any better.

What are you talking about?

You don't know?

They think they're in love...

With each other.

They want to grow up
and get married.

What?

Honey, the doctors.

[ Clears throat ]

Uh, Jess has sustained
multiple fractures,

including two in her left leg
that need surgical intervention

immediately or she could lose
use of her leg.

Unfortunately, she also needs
her belly explored

to evaluate the source
of her internal bleeding.

There's also blood in her lungs,
which required a chest tube.

Luckily, it seems to be stable
at the moment.

We're taking her up now.

We'll update you
after the surgery.

Bethany. Please, let him...

Shut up, Steven!
Shut your stupid mouth!

If you had kept your mouth shut,

Jess would be safe
at camp right now.

But you had to give her
the heads-up, didn't you?

It's okay. You had to
tell her all about it.

Torres, don't.

What are you doing, torres?

I'm sorry, but I'm not sure
you understand

what those places are like.

I know that you're trying
to help your daughter,

but that kind of camp
is horrible.

It will not give her the kind
of support that she needs.

I realize that you care
about Jess, but th...

Care about her? We love her.

She's our child. Our child.

Please,
this doesn't concern you.

Jess' fear of that place

is why she stepped in front
of a train to begin with.

No, we are not doing this.
She doesn't feel safe.

We are not doing this now!

You want to give
parenting advice?

Talk to clueless over there.

You have no right to talk to me

about anything other
than my child's medical care.

She's right to feel afraid.
Those places are harmful.

They will damage her
mentally, emotionally.

They are tantamount
to child abuse.

Torres. You are out of line.

You are here for one thing

and one thing only,
and that is to attend

to my child's injuries,
to help my daughter.

That's it.

So you can either shut up

and do the job that you are here
to do, or I will get rid of you.

Sweetie, please.

¶¶

Where do you think you're going?

Like you said,
to help your daughter.

That woman
was bullying her own child.

And, you know, don't even get me
started on the husband.

He is useless. Useless.

Poor kid's
got no one in her corner.

Mnh-mnh.

What would make someone do that?

I mean,
why do people act like that?

[ Sighs ]

Karev?

Why are you asking me?

'Cause you're a bully.

His scar looks pretty nice.

I'm just gonna apply a little
more collagenase lotion here.

[ Coos ] So, um... What is
your plan with April tonight?

So, she's gonna come home
from across the world

to what, a locked house?

Why do you think it is
that everybody thinks

they have a right to
a front-row seat to my marriage?

The show's closed.
I'm not selling tickets.

Dr. Avery?

What?

Your gastro flap harvest
is ready when you are.

That's great!

[ Sighs ]

Um, can you come dress this?

Yeah.

You know
if Kepner wants a roommate?

Not if it's you.

[ Scoffs ]

Okay, what aren't you
telling me? You know something.

Why don't people
want to live with me?

[ Sighs ] I'm being paged.

No, you're not.
Nobody's paging you.

[ Sighs ]

Callie: What,
are you telling me I'm wrong?

I watched you
push people around for years.

You bullied interns.
You bullied nurses.

Hell, you bullied George.

Don't go projecting
all your stuff on me

just 'cause you got picked on
as a kid.

Oh, no.
Nobody picked on Callie torres.

[ Chuckles ] Really?
Yeah, I was an easy target.

I didn't look like the other
girls. I didn't act like them.

I had to learn how to stand up
to people like Karev.

So I learned to fight.
Titanium screw, please?

Ah, tell you what, though,
once you punch your first bully,

the rest start to fall in line
pretty quickly.

So you were both bullies?

What? No. Mine was self-defense.

People you two used to call me
"li'l maggot."

'Cause I was always younger
than you and smaller...

And smarter.

And my lisp... [ Clicks tongue ]

You guys had a field day
with my lisp.

So I was "li'l maggot pierth."

Oh. [ Both laugh ]

That's kind of cute.
[ Chuckles ]

No, it wasn't cute.

Not when I was begging
not to be pantsed

in the middle of the quad.

I mean, really think about that.

My pants
were literally pulled off of me

in front of other people.

Or when I was screaming for help

after being locked
in the janitor's closet

and left there until the cops
found me the next morning.

You want to know
why bullies bully...

It's 'cause they can.

Maybe you got it worse at home,
or maybe you're just bullying

to keep from getting bullied,
but really,

it's because people like me,

like this girl on our table,
are alone.

And... Small and vulnerable.

And pushing us around
makes you feel better

about your sad, pathetic,
little lives.

Um, but not you guys, though.

You're cool... Now.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Chuckles ]

So, after we helped rebuild
the hospital in Haiti,

I took a team down to Houston

to help the relief shelters
after the flooding.

Outstanding.

Um, so, why are you interested
in moving to Seattle?

I-I mean, it sounds like your
hospital's doing great work.

Oh, that wasn't
through the hospital.

I fund most of those trips
through my nonprofit.

Oh. It's a bit of a
passion project of mine.

Oh, your nonprofit. Well, now.

Um, I started
the hospital's free clinic.

Um, we're open
wednesdays and Fridays.

[ Monitors beeping ] Owen: She
won't stop bleeding. Damn it!

Amelia:
She's maxed out on pressors.

She can't tolerate
this low a map.

Meredith:
I'm clamping the hilum.

It's not working. Debakey.

Sorry, do you mind if I...?

Come on, guys, she's crashing.

You don't think I know that?
Somebody page cardio.

McConnell: You're gonna want to
open her up with a sternotomy.

I'm sorry.
Who in the hell's that?

Right, sorry. Hi. Dr. Tracy McConnell,
chief of cardio at Hopkins.

I'm on a tour.
Now, about that sternotomy.

Patient's chest is already open.

I don't want to make
another major incision

just a few inches away.
Where is cardio?

They're saying
wexler and hall are out.

Pierce is in surgery.
Owen: Find out how long.

Okay, I want to try twisting
the hilum. Towels.

You need to get control
from a higher angle.

Her pulmonary artery
is lacerated,

which means you have
about 90 seconds

before she bleeds to death
on that table.

I know that it seems redundant
to make another large incision

in an already-open chest, but
if you do, in under a minute,

you can have her sternum open
and get a clear view

of the field from
an entirely different angle.

If the choice is between
giving her two chest scars

or letting her bleed to death,

I bet she would choose
the two scars.

Grey?

You're down to 60 seconds.

Okay, I need a saw
and a sternal retractor.

On it.
Prep her for a sternotomy.

Right away.

¶¶

Got it. Here's the bleeder.

Okay, I'll need 4-0 prolene and
a pericardial patch, please.

Whew!

Got it.

That was a hell of a save,
McConnell.

It's not my save, sir.
They did the hard work.

I just helped change
their perspective a little.

Well, I should probably
get go...

¶¶

[ indistinct conversations ]

Hey. Why don't people
want to live with me?

Is it 'cause I have a kid
or is it 'cause I'm a boss?

Like people don't want to live
with their boss?

Hey, did you hear,
uh, Dr. torres stabbed

a white supremacist in the face?

Or a-a patient bit Karev

and lost his finger
or his eye or some...

Shut up and speak!
What aren't you telling me?

[ Telephone rings ]

Okay, have you ever
been assigned

back-to-back overnight
nicu shifts, Edwards?

And I'm not talking for,
like, a weekend.

I'm talking for months of
long, terrible, quiet nights

all alone in the nicu
watching over 27 incubators

full of fragile, dying,
little lives.

You know how hard that is?
Do you have any idea?

You are kind of a legend
with the interns and residents.

[ Scoffs ] Go on.

You're one of
the Seattle grace five.

I survived a plane crash.
Uh, big deal.

And a car crash. And a shooting.

You might be immortal.
[ Scoffs ]

You mastered one of
the most exclusive specialties

basically overnight,
and then you took Herman's job

and her eyesight.

Okay, that's... That's just...

You have screwed
dozens of interns,

and you got them all fired.

You speak really fast,
like superhuman fast.

You have a weird name.

You know, that's not true.
That's not true.

I only slept with one intern,
and I have an awesome name.

I mean, what, man? Like, what?
What else?

I mean, what...
Do people have a problem

with the fact
that I have one leg?

I mean, do people actually
go there and...

And talk crap about
a one-legged person?

Because that's just
discrimination against amputees.

They say you have two legs,

and you are only pretending
that one is amputated.

[ Gasps ]

For the parking space. I...

[ Stammers ]

We good?

Hey. Tell us something good.

Mer says Aliyah's
hanging in there.

Well, that's something.
[ Sighs ]

Also, Jess might
not be going to that camp.

I, uh... I may have made
some calls.

Bethany:
Which one of you did it?

You called
child protective services on me?

Is this a joke?
Is this some game to you people?

If I want to send my child
to a beautiful camp

run by a lovely pastor...
[ Sighs ]

Then I have every legal right
to do so,

and it is none of your business.

Do you understand?
Stay away from my little girl.

And stop filling her head

with your faithless,
inappropriate nonsense.

You repulse me.
You're disgusting!

Ohh!

Oh, crap. [ Coleman hell's
"take me up" plays ]

My heart was pounding,
and there was a noise in my head

and then her face
was just coming at me

and I was just like, "aah!"

And then... Ouch! Ow! Ow!

My fist had a mind of its own.

'Cause I didn't even know
I was gonna punch her

until she was punched.

Oh, my god! I lost control.
I am a monster.

I would have paid money.
Cash money. Like 1,000 bucks.

Worth every penny.
It was beautiful.

Okay, what happened?
Yeah, we want details.

And would someone page me,
please,

next time Pierce hulks out?

Think it's funny? It won't be
when she loses her job.

I'm gonna lose my job?

You're not gonna lose your job.
She attacked you.

Kind of. Right?

Okay, you weren't there.
You don't know.

Oh, the lady deserved it.
She got bigot-slapped.

You know she deserved it.

It doesn't matter.

There's a right and a wrong way
for us to conduct ourselves.

Mm, you know what?
Grey has a point.

Next time, leave the thumb
outside the fist

when you clench.

That way,
you avoid bone damage. See?

Okay, bitch lady's fine
medically, no real injury,

but she is seriously pissed
and after your head.

See? Oh, god.

Is it true?
Callie punched a homophobe?

Pierce punched a homophobe.

Ooh, unexpected. High five. No.

Yes! [ Chuckles ]

Mm! ¶ Who's gonna take me?
Who's gonna take me? ¶

¶ when the morning comes ¶

¶ who's gonna take me? Who's gonna take me? ¶ I have
to go apologize to that horrible woman, don't I?

¶ Who's gonna take me?
Who's gonna take? Who? ¶

what are you doing?

Scrubbing in
on an open cholecystectomy.

Yes, no, I can see that,
but what are you doing?

Why are you scrubbing in
for a three-hour procedure

when you have a presentation
to the board in 45 minutes?

The patient is in terrible pain.

I have the ability
to stop that pain,

so I'm going to do that.

So, what, you're just gonna not
show up for the presentation?

It doesn't matter if I do.

Look, I just spent the day
with Tracy McConnell.

She's chirpy and blonde
with a perky, little ponytail.

And she's...

Fantastic, smart, talented.

I tried really hard to hate her,
but I couldn't.

She's perfect.
And Webber's ready to marry her.

Hell, I might marry her, too.

No offense. She's a catch.

And we'd be lucky to have her.

Hey, she may be the new idris.

[ Chuckles ] Now, I-it's fine.

Okay, being chief isn't
the only thing that I...

I mean, I've got my son that
I hardly see as it is. And you.

And I got this class
that I got to start teaching.

So... You know,
I-it doesn't matter.

I-it's fine, really.

Miranda, that's... No!

Leave it alone. [ Sighs ]

Okay? Just... Leave it.

¶¶

[ indistinct conversations ]

Arizona: Hi.

Oh, hey. Uh,
I-is the room still available?

Did your friends put you up
to this? Did you lose a bet?

Or... Do you have
a thing for feet? Or... or foot?

[ Elevator bell dings ]
What? Uh, no.

Well, okay, hold on.

Why would you
want to live with me

instead of your intern buddies?

I don't, uh,
have any intern buddies.

They think I posed as
an attending on purpose

and they made up all this stuff
about me and it isn't even true.

Nobody wants to talk to me,
let alone live with me.

It's okay. Thanks.

Um, well, hold on.
Um, just so you know,

two months up front. Yeah?
Okay. Mm-hmm.

Well... well, we can maybe...
We can make this work.

[ Monitor beeping ]

Scrub out. I'll finish.

You can still make
your presentation.

Deluca, will you escort Warren
out of my surgery, please?

But... [ Sighs ]

Okay.

Oh, don't even think about it.
You do not know me.

Miranda, you are rolling over.

You are quitting
in the middle of the race,

and that is not okay.

Would you let me quit?
Would you let tuck quit?

Would you?

What did you tell tuck

when he wanted to
quit the French horn?

He was a terrible
French-horn player, and still,

what did you tell him?
"You made a commitment."

"You made a commitment"!

And now who is first chair?

Tuck is.

Tuck is!

You don't quit.
You don't roll over.

You don't let anybody
take your chair!

Miranda Bailey,
what chair are you?

First chair. Yeah, I cannot hear you.
W-what chair?

First chair. First chair?

First chair! That's right!

Jess' injuries were extensive,

but surgery went better
than expected.

Oh, thank god.

Uh, Bethany wanted me to ask,

do you know when Jess
might be discharged?

She's, I guess,
arranging for the camp

to come pick Jess up
from here, and...

Dakhir: What?
What are you saying?

There... there
were complications

during the surgery,
and Aliyah lost a lot of blood,

and her blood pressure
was very low for some time.

And we just won't know

if that caused damage
unless she wakes up.

So, s-she might not wake up?
That's what you're saying?

I'm sorry,
is his daughter going to die?

I'm so sorry. I can't discuss another
patients' personal information.

This can't be...
T-this shouldn't be happening.

We wanted to give her a future.

We came to this country
when she was 8.

Two years later, my wife died.

My family, they said,

"dakhir, you have no business
raising your daughter alone."

Maybe they were right.

What do I know
about raising a girl,

now a teenage girl, in America?

[ Whimpers ]

All I know is it's hard.

¶¶

Aliyah doesn't confide in me.

Why would she?

In my community, we don't
talk about things like this.

Aliyah's mother
would have known what to say.

She always knew.

We came here
to give her a future.

And now...

Do you have a picture?

[ Sniffles ]

Excuse me?

Of your daughter?

Here's... here's Jess.

Uh, you can't tell now
with the tube in her mouth,

but she has the best smile.

This is Aliyah
maybe a year ago now.

I took it at school
after a game.

You know, I never realized,

but I think that's
your daughter with her.

They look really happy.

I don't believe we were
introduced properly before.

I'm Steven.

Dakhir.

Your patient's
been out of surgery a while.

Did you wait
to update the family

until my patient
was out of surgery, too?

¶¶

Because this hospital
is worth more than that.

Thank you.

[ Applause ] Thank you.

Bailey should be here by now.

Um, hi. Hello.

Sorry to interrupt,
but Dr. Bailey has a request.

¶¶

I'm sure Dr. McConnell gave you
an excellent presentation.

Scissor. Watch that tissue.

She would be excellent
for the job.

But that's not the point.

The point is McConnell and I
offer different things.

She is new and shiny.
And she likes a good challenge.

I know.
I spent the whole day with her.

She jumps into new challenges
all the time.

And that's what this place is to
her... her newest challenge...

Until she finds her next one.

And her next.

But that's not me. [ Sighs ]

See, I don't care if this place
is the shiniest or the fanciest

or if it's a beat-up
hunk of junk.

As far as I'm concerned,
it'll always be the ship

that made the kessel run
in less than 12 parsecs.

This is not a stepping stone
for me.

I believe in this hospital
and what it can do.

And I want to push
this bucket of bolts

to do the most impossible things
you have ever seen.

And then I'll do more
because this is my challenge.

There's a bleeder on the fossa.

Yeah. Clamp. Use the argon beam.

Avoid cbd.

Slowly.

Let me. Good.

There.

This job was made for me.
Staples.

This job belongs to me. Suction.

I've earned first chair.

Suture.

And every single one of you
already knows it.

Ready to close.

¶¶

Well, damn it.

[ Siren wailing ]

Woman: Dr. Hudson to the O.R. 3.
Dr. Hudson to O.R. 3.

Is Jess still
at her post-op x-rays?

Yeah, Dr. torres took her
a bit ago.

Yeah.

You have some nerve coming here.

Bethany.

Mrs. Tanner,
I would like to apologize.

I was totally
out of line before.

To think I trusted you
to treat my daughter.

Bethany.

I am suing you
and everyone else we have met

in this godforsaken hospital.

Bethany, shut up!

No one is suing!
No one is pressing charges!

The person who should be
apologizing is you!

We almost lost our child today!

She almost died!

We are not sending Jess away!

This stops now. Do you hear me?
It stops now.

Steven, what are you saying?
This stops, or I am gone.

I will leave,
and I will take Jess with me,

and you will never
see her again.

I don't care... If she's gay.

I care if she's loved.
I care if she's happy.

And that is what
you should care about!

What is wrong with you
that you don't?!

¶ Ever wonder 'bout
what she's doing? ¶

[ sighs ]
¶ how it all turned to lies ¶

¶ sometimes I think
that it's better ¶

¶ to never ask why ¶

¶ where there is desire,
there is gonna be a flame ¶

so, we were able to stop
the bleeding, and she's stable.

So I thought you'd like
to see her because she is awake.

¶ And just because it burns
doesn't mean you're gonna die ¶

¶ you've got to get up
and try, try, try ¶

it's okay. It's okay.

¶ You've got to get up
and try, try, try ¶

I'm here, Aliyah.

¶ You've got to get up and
try, try, try ¶ you're okay.

Jessica is okay, too.

Shh. D-don't try to talk.
It's okay.

I have something for you.

¶ Funny how the heart
can be deceiving ¶

Jessica asked if
I could read this to you if...

When you wake up.

So...

¶ Why do we fall in love so easy
even when it's not right? ¶

"dear my beautiful Aliyah..."

Well, I like her already.

¶ Where there is desire,
there is gonna be a flame ¶

[ sighs ]

¶ Where there is a flame,
someone's bound to get burned ¶

¶ and just because it burns
doesn't mean you're gonna die ¶

¶ you've got to get up
and try, try, try ¶

oh. Sorry. You know, I, uh...

¶ You've got to get up and
try, try, try ¶ I thought...

¶ You've got to get up and try, try,
try ¶ uh, why aren't you at home?

Because I thought
you'd be at home.

Right, well,
I just assumed that...

[ Sighs ] It's fine. Just, um...

¶ Ever worry that
it might be ruined ¶

go and sleep there tonight.
A real bed and all.

¶ And does it make you
want to cry? ¶

right. Real bed. Yeah. Thanks.

I've been flying all day.
I'm exhausted. Dirty.

Okay.

¶ Ever worry
that it might be ruined ¶

but we can talk tomorrow?

¶ Does it make you
want to cry? ¶

I really want us to talk,
Jackson.

¶ When you're out there doing
what you're doing ¶

good night.

¶ Are you just getting by? ¶

¶ tell me, are you
just getting by, by, by? ¶

[ door closes ] ¶ where there is
desire, there is gonna be a flame ¶

¶ where there is a flame,
someone's bound to get burned ¶

¶ and just because it burns
doesn't mean you're gonna die ¶

¶ you've got to get up
and try, try, try ¶

¶ you've got to get up and
try, try, try ¶ behold.

Everything the light touches
is yours.

¶ You've got to get up
and try, try, try ¶

stupid. [ Laughs ]

Congratulations... Chief.

[ Sighs ]

¶¶

Jo: This looks amazing.

This is amazing.

Now, I love
that you love feeding me,

but I can't keep eating
like this every night.

I'm gonna get fat.

What's wrong with being fat?
I used to be fat.

[ Laughs ]

That's funny. No, really.

I mean, not just roly-poly.
I mean big.

I mean, it didn't matter much
till what...

I don't know...
5th grade, maybe? 6th?

And then suddenly,
everybody seemed to care.

I got picked on a bunch.

I mean, stupid stuff, you know?
Names, pranks.

They shoved me in a locker once,
and I got stuck.

I was... well,
I was the fat kid in class

and the screw-up at home.

And it sucked.
I mean, it was really hell.

So the summer after 8th grade,

when I basically spent
three straight months on my bike

riding everywhere,
all day, every day,

literally riding my ass off.

School started.
Nobody recognized me.

I toughened up.
I mean, I had to, you know?

Want more rice?

[ Tristan prettyman's
"fancy" plays ]

¶ First things first,
I'm the realest ¶

Amelia: Who does that?

Who carpools to work
with somebody in the morning

and then leaves
without them that night?

¶ I can hold you down ¶

[ laughs ] I can't believe
she... she just left me.

I'm happy to give you a ride.
Actually, I did want to...

I don't even want to go
in there. I may lose it.

Not even kidding. I may...

¶ High heels, something worth
a half a ticket on my wrist ¶

¶ taking all the liquor
straight, never chased that ¶

¶ rooftop like
we're bringing '88 back ¶

¶ bring the hooks in, where the bass at?
¶ what's happening?

¶ Champagne spilling,
you should taste that ¶

you. Come here. ¶ I'm so fancy ¶

sorry. ¶ You already know,
I'm in the fast Lane ¶

sit. Good.

I want you to stop

and take a closer look
at the body in front of you.

I live here, too,
and that means I get a say.

And I say you two
need to figure your crap out.

¶ 'Bout to blow ¶

there's nothing special
about it.

It's just a body.
¶ trash the hotel ¶

so, why are you here?
What's so different?

What's changed?

Sorry about the wall.

¶ Feels so good getting
what I want ¶ i...

Jumped the gun.

I'm sorry I said you had fleas.

Meredith! What?

I don't...
¶ film star, yeah, I'm deluxe ¶

I don't know how to talk to you.
You are a lot... Sometimes.

I don't totally like you.

Wow. Okay.

But I don't have to
because you're family.

I love you.

¶ Hot girl, hands off,
don't touch that ¶

¶ look at it, I bet you wishing
that you could clutch that ¶

¶ it's just the way
you like it, huh? ¶

¶ you're so good, he just
wishing he could bite it, huh? ¶

¶ never turned down nothing,
slinging these hos ¶

¶ gold trigger on the gun
like I'm so fancy ¶

¶ you already know ¶

my answer is... You.
¶ I'm in the fast Lane ¶

the thing that has changed
is you.

¶ I'm so fancy ¶

I want you to throw
everything you think you know

about anatomy out the window...

¶ 'Bout to blow ¶

and look at this cadaver

like you've never seen
a human body before.

¶ That do that, do that,
I-g-g-y ¶

¶ who that, who that? I-g-g-y ¶

now pick up your scalpels.

Place them below
the xiphoid process.

¶ Who that, who that? I-g-g-y ¶

press firmly.

¶ That do that, do that,
I-g-g-y ¶

no regrets. And let's begin.

¶ Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh ¶
