[ Pharrell Williams'
"Happy" plays ]

Meredith:
Every surgeon is trained
to look for problems.

To look at a person and say,
"what's wrong with you?"

Where am I supposed to be now?

Woman:
You can come with me.

Cross.

Drunk or deranged.

Find out which.

Sir. Hi.

Uh, can I help you?

I-i-i don't know.



You guys called me.

[ Elevator bell dings ]

¶ Because I'm happy ¶

we're trained to foresee

the ugliest possible outcome.

She actually said...

Steph said I'm not as good
a surgeon as she is.

Is that true?

Of course not.

Yeah,
but is that the perception?

Do attendings just automatically
go to anyone but me?

I think you're amazing.

¶ Because I'm happy ¶

¶ clap along if you feel
like that's what you wanna do ¶



[ cellphone chimes, buzzes ]

Oh, my god.

Oh, my god!
Mr. Jaffee!

When your job
is to make people better,

you're automatically inclined
to look for the worst in them.
[ Cellphone chirping ]

Wilson, I have three kids.

Three.

Do you have any idea
how little sleep I get?

¶¶

Mr. Jaffee?

Mm.
Are you sure
you don't want to just sleep?

[ Giggles ]

You cannot keep this up.

Grey is killing you.

I know, but I can't think
of that right now.

'Cause right now, I'm in a bed.

A comfy, comfy bed...

With you.

¶ Clap along if you feel
like a room without a roof ¶

¶ because I'm happy ¶
did you just fall asleep?

[ Cellphone rings ]
Got it!

Wha... [ Groans ]

Hello?
Uh-huh.

Of course it is.

Yeah.
Of course it is.

This is ridiculous.

No, absolutely.
Absolutely I can.

Uh-huh.
No, of course.

Who's Mr. Jaffee?

Simon Jaffee.
End-stage renal disease.

He's been on dialysis
for the last 18 months

waiting for a transplant donor.

Why so long?

Antibodies.

He needs
a six-antigen match...

An impossible match
until tonight.

It's... we've been
looking forever.

It's like finding
the holy grail.

Blake, when was Mr. Jaffee's
last round of dialysis?

Oh, um, looking...

He was at the dialysis center
two days ago.

Electrolytes and renal labs were
within expected limits, so...

I've been on his case
since I was an intern.

I'm so sorry, Dr. Grey.
I will catch up.

It's okay, Blake.

Do the best you can,

and ask Wilson
if you have any questions.

Oh, there are my girls.
[ Chuckles ]

Mr. Jaffee,
it's so good to see you.

Where are the grandkids?

I haven't even called them yet.

I-i-i wanted to wait until
i knew it was a sure thing.

So...

Is it true?

It's true.
[ Chuckles ]

We found you a kidney.

[ Cries ]

[ Chuckles ]

[ Siren wails in distance ]

Thanks again for breakfast.

My pleasure.

This was his last night
in my house.

You just made the man pancakes.

Because I am a benevolent leader
and good host.

And I've been waiting for
this thing to resolve itself.

It has not.

This job is stressful.

I need to go home at night
and be alone with my husband.

Well, i-i agree with that,

but... but...
Da-uh!

Miranda, he 's my friend,
all right?

And he's my boss.

I'm your boss, too.
And his boss.

I'm all your bosses.

If you want your wife back,
take care of your business...

Today.

So, I'm just wondering
if maybe we should rethink

the resident-rotation
system.

I mean,
make sure that our residents

get an equal opportunity
on every specialty.

Isn't that happening?

Well, there's a danger
that our residents

are being monopolized
by a single attending.

She's talking about Blake.
You know what?

This is not your busi...
Isn't Blake with Grey?

Yes, and she has been
since she got here.

I worry she's not getting
a full education.

And Grey is...
[ Scoffs ]

She's...
She's running her ragged.

Residency runs you ragged.

We've all been there, torres.
You know this as well as anyone.

No, but this is different.
This is different.

I think it's personal.

Is it that you want to spend

more time with your girlfriend?

Amelia, could you please...

I mean, you are saying
that it's personal.

Hey, hey...
All right. All right.

Has Blake expressed
this concern or just you?

Okay.
She's...

Blake stays with Grey.

[ Sighs ]
We don't have a policy

to move around residents

to accommodate
your personal lives.

No, that's not
what I was saying.

If Blake has a problem,
she comes to me.

[ Scoffs ]

[ Woman speaking indistinctly
over P.A. system ]

Woman: All right.
He has already been seen.

I know the doctor is...

[ New Zealand accent ]
Hey, all.

Uh, I was just wondering

if someone could tell me
where I can get some scrubs.

Uh... Third floor
by the dispensary.

Cheers.

You're, uh,
Dr. Pierce, right?

Mm-hmm.

Yeah,
i-i just wanted to say

I'm super excited,

and I can't wait to get started.

Great.

¶¶

Go get 'em.

Okeydokey.

Yep.

Who was that?

[ Mumbling ]
I don't know.

[ Grunts ]

Oh.

Oh, hey.

I found you.

Pulled a night shift.

This is a nice way to wake up.

I could get used to this.

[ Sighs ]
How's your day?

I had to listen to torres go on
and on about her girlfriend,

who Meredith's got basically
chained to her service.

I don't know
how she even looks at her.

Mm.

I'm sorry.
You were saying?

Was I?

[ Chuckles ]

[ Cellphone rings ]

[ Groans ]

Gary,
this is Dr. Karev.

Uh, Gary walton, 14.

Complaining of abdominal pain.

How's it going, Gary?

This ball looks like a cherry.

Do you like cherries?

Gary was born with some
intellectual disabilities.

Well, I'm more of
an apple guy myself.

But, uh, do you like cherries?

I love cherries.

Loves these stupid things.

And that's probably
why he ate one.

Joel!

He did, actually.
He swallowed the other one.

Is he gonna be okay?

Here it is on the X-ray.

Owen:
I can show you where it is.

Gary, you want to show Dr. Karev
what you showed me?

[ Giggles ]

[ Chuckling ] Whoa, Gary.
What'd you do that for?

It looked like a cherry.

Well, I bet it didn't
taste like one.

It's in my tummy now.
[ Giggles ]

This doctor says
he needs surgery.

Endoscopic surgery
just to remove the ball, right?

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

I think Dr. Spencer
jumped the gun a little.

Gary's body
has its own exit strategy.

Gary, you're gonna poop it.

Oh, ho, ho,
that is going to hurt.

Joel!

Well, maybe it'll keep him
from doing crap like this.

Well, so don't worry.
No surgery.

Oh, good.
Thank you.

Uh... We'll just
keep him here overnight,

and, uh, we'll make sure
everything comes out okay.

Gary, want to sleep over?

Yeah!

Okay.

Can I stay with him?

Uh, absolutely.

Uh, you're not gonna eat this,
are you?

No.
All right.

Spencer,
i need you to do hourly checks.

Yes, sir.
Oh, uh, just steer clear
of the mom.

She's a doc knocker.

A what?

A mom who's up for more
than your bedside manner.

Know what I mean?

Really?

She just seems like
a concerned mom to me.

Her kid's...

Just trust me.

Keep a buffer
between you and her...

A stool, portable X-ray...
Anything.

[ Scoffs ]

I hate guys like that.

Just 'cause he has
a hot girlfriend,

he thinks everyone wants
to bone him.

Mr. Jaffee,
we've almost got the all-clear.

We just need
to take you upstairs

for a pre-op chest X-ray
and an EKG,

and then we're good to go.

So, you're gonna need
to lose the hat.

He, uh, won't take it off.
I tried.

Look, my late wife
gave me this hat.

You know, I caught 22
prize-winning bluegills in it!

It goes everywhere I go.
It's good luck.

And we found you a kidney,
so the hat's done its job.

Yeah.

Well, can't I just keep it?

Hand it over.

[ Sighs ]

Okay.
But, uh...

Oh, my god.

Yeah, that showed up
a few months ago.

[ Monitors beeping rapidly ]

Nathan: Charge to 100.
Press sync.

Clear!

What do we have?
Here you go.

What are you doing?

Cardioverting.
150. Clear!

Who are you?
Get away from my patient!

Found the scrubs, by the way.
Thanks for that.

Hey!
Your patient?
Charge to 200.

Hey, I'm in the middle
of doing something here!
She's hypotensive!

I can see that!
Clear!

Owen: Riggs?

Hunt!
Do you know this person?

What the hell
are you doing here?

Hey,
I'm trying to do my job!
Everyone stop!

Who gave you privileges here?

Well, you did.

When you hired me, right?

[ Paddles whine ]

[ Monitor beeping ]

You hired someone for my
department without telling me?

Shoot.
Riggs.

Uh, no, i was going to tell you.

You'll like him.
I promise.

I'd like to have decided that
for myself.

Oh, but he's great.

He was in line
to be chief of cardio at Duke.

He's done incredible amounts
of relief work...

And you hired him here
without any discussion,

without asking a single...

Hunt, it's not your department.
What's your problem?

Look, Pierce, I'm sorry,
but he was available,

we had an opening,
and I made a call.

And I'm the chief.

Now, kindly go away.
I'm operating.

¶¶

Well, thanks for having my back.

Huh? Oh, right.
No problem.

So, how long have you had
this lump, sir?

Oh, not long.

Um... Seven,
eight months now.

And you never had it treated?

Well, it was just a little bump
at first, you know?

I thought it was a bug bite.

And then I thought
maybe it was a cyst.

And then I was afraid.

That they would kick you
off the transplant list.

I already called the grandkids.

Maybe I should've waited?

This is not a plastics case.
I think it's a tumor.

That's what i was afraid of.

I mean, if this is cancer,

there's no way
he's getting that kidney.

Yeah, it's likely
invaded locally, the tumor.

Uh, it's possibly
metastasized.
[ Cellphone beeps ]

Sorry.

Hey.
Did we get the pet scans?

I thought we were waiting
on neuro and ortho consults.

Okay, we need to run
oncology staging

on this mass right now.

Pet scans asap
with renal precautions.

And why are these consults
taking so long?

I'm sorry.
I pushed.

They were busy.
That's fine.

Just, uh, let me know
when we get them, okay?

Okay.

Why is she going easy on you?

What'd you do?

I have no idea.

Okay.
[ Sighs ]

Hey.
Oh.

Um, any interest in trivia night
at a lesbian bar?

I'm not sure I know that much
about lesbians.

Funny.
You're... you're funny.

[ Chuckles weakly ]
[ Chuckles ]

Uh, listen, I'm just trying
to dip my toes in the pool.

Mm.
You know,
the dating pool.

It's been a while,

and I need, like, a wingman.

Or wingwoman.
Whatever.

Because women don't buy
drinks for sad loners...

I have a date with Jackson
tonight.

Oh, that's great!

Aah!
I know!

He, uh,
asked me to dinner to talk,

and I'm trying really hard
not to get too excited about it.

Oh, but that's a start,
so...
[ Sighs ]

Yes, yes, it's a light

at the end of a long,
dark tunnel.

I'm so glad, April.
I'm so...
sorry, I...

Yeah. No.

[ Sighs ]

¶¶

Got a sec?
Hey.
What's up?

Uh, well, uh, listen.

You know, uh,
Miranda and I were talking,

and she...
Well, both of us,

we were wondering
if tonight you might, uh...

Ah, I can't do anything tonight.

I'm going to dinner with April.

April?
Really?

Yeah.
I asked her.

You know, I figure
we're in a pretty good place,

and now we can actually talk...

That's fantastic.

About divorce.

So...
Well, that's, um...

Damn.

I'm sorry, man.
I wish there was...

Yeah, I do, too.
Thanks, man.

Another night, though?

Another night.

All right.
Um, good luck.

Yeah.
See you at home, buddy.

Yes, you will.

I finally pinned down
Dr. torres and Dr. Shepherd,

and they're looking
at Mr. Jaffee's scans.

Okay, great.
Tell them I'll be right there.

How do you do that?

How do I do what?

Work with Blake after...

I mean, how are you doing that?

[ Sighing ] Oh.

Well, I thought

that I could treat her
like any other resident.

But that was really hard,

because I wanted
to punch her in the face.

Like, a lot.

So now I'm trying
something different.

I am keeping her
on a short leash at a distance

so at least she can't
hurt anyone else.

I just don't think
i could do that.

Well, she's here.
She's not going anywhere, so...

[ Sighs ]

Mrs. brown?
I'm Dr. Pierce.

I'm the chief
of cardiothoracic surgery.

And this is doctor...
Dr. Riggs.

Hi. Well, I'm glad
to see you awake, Loretta.

You gave us a bit of a scare,
there.

When can I go home?

Uh, I'd like to run
some more tests

to determine
whether you'll need surgery.

We've called your family.
They're on their way.

Dr. Riggs,
do you think I need surgery?

Well, your echo shows
a reduction in blood flow

through one of the valves
in your heart,

so we just want
to make sure that...

I'd like to keep you overnight
to run some more tests.

And I'll take it from there,
okay?

Dr. Riggs?

You're gonna be
well taken care of.

It's your first day.

Might want to get your feet wet
before you dive in.

Mm.

My feet were pretty wet
when I got here.

Then you can get me
a cardiac-gated ct

and do a risk stratification.

Page me with the results.

[ Elevator bell dings ]

Yes, ma'am.

Thank you.

[ Computer beeping ]

Well?

Osteosarcoma.

It involves the frontal
and the occipital bone.

It's locally very aggressive.

It's a lovely tumor.

It's almost cute.
Just plopped there.

"Hello."

He's waited 18 months
for this kidney.

We finally have one,
and now he has cancer?

What if he didn't?

Didn't what?

Have cancer.

His tumor has gorgeous margins.

It's like a ripe,
juicy piece of fruit

that's hung low on the branch.

I could reach in and pluck it.

[ Muffled ]
No cancer, no problem.

You can do that?
No.

Even if you can remove it...

[ normal voice ]
Oh, I can.

Well, he's left with
a gaping hole in his head.

No skull, no skin to cover it.

I fix brains.

[ Sighs ]
I give you your soft,
gooey center.

The hard candy shell
is your department.

No, there's no way to close it.

Not even a rotational flap.

There's nothing
to work with here.

And a wound that size,

when his immune system
is already compromised,

that could kick him
off the transplant list.

[ Sighs ]

We have less than 24 hours
before we lose the kidney.

So, Wilson and Edwards,
i need ideas.

Crazy ideas, smart ideas.

Give me anything that will
close Mr. Jaffee's head

so he can survive this surgery.

Go. Hit the books.
Find me something.

On it.
Absolutely.

¶¶

Dr. Grey?

Should I look too, or...?

Blake.
No, you should, um...

Go monitor the donor.
Do that.

Make sure the brain-dead guy
is still brain-dead.

Right.

What are you doing?

Excuse me?

"Monitor the donor"?

You've got Blake doing scut
that an intern could do.

She is here to learn.
And, well, I...

Listen, Callie.

When I teach her,
you say I am beating her down.

When I'm nice to her,
you say I'm neglecting her.

No, no, no.

You're neglecting
your responsibility.

And if she were
any other resident...

If she were any other resident,

you wouldn't be talking to me
right now, Callie.

[ Scoffs ]
I'm done talking
about your girlfriend.

This is your problem.

It's not Blake's,
and it's not mine.

That's...

[ Scoffs ]

[ Monitor beeping ]

Aah. [ Chuckles ]
Oh.

Oh, I didn't mean
to startle you.

Is he okay?

Ye... listen, you have nothing
to worry about.

Gary's gonna be fine.

I imagine
it's not the first time

he's done something like this.

You're right.
You get it.

You know, it can
just be so hard sometimes.

You know, he's a great kid,
but [Sighs] he can be a lot.

Well, you're doing a great job.

He's a great kid.
[ Chuckles ] Thank you.

Thank you so much.

You know, you're...
You're so nice, and so helpful.

Thank you.

Oh, uh, that's...

It's not a problem at all.

Oh. Um...

Uh-oh. Mnh.
Um, ma'am...

Ma'am!
It's Elaine.

Oh, uh, Elaine, ma'am, I...

I-i... 'cause I have
the other patients.

But I'll... I'll...
Uh, bye.

Yeah, bye.

I'll see you in an hour?!

Finally.
God, what took so long?

Whoa, relax.
This was nice of me, remember?

I didn't know
you were gonna make the food.

She's cranky.

Bailey hired a new cardio guy
without telling her.

That's jacked.
Who is this guy?

It just means I'm gonna
have to train another Alpha male

not to pee all over the place.

Mnh.
I hate it when they pee.

Derek peed a lot.

Oh, come on.
We're not like that.

When you got here,
you peed everywhere.

It was disgusting.

You had to be trained.
Nobody trained me.

We trained you.
It was subtle.

You didn't notice.

Is that why
you made me get the food?

Not even that.
It's the patients.

It's the way
that they always look

to the man in the room first

no matter
who is talking to them.

Yes.

That's a thing?
Not for you.

And then there's
the whole other thing.

[ Scoffs ]

You know, I just... I thought
i was done with that here.

This guy just comes in.

He's taking consults without
even talking to me about it...

What whole other thing?

That?

Come on, is that a thing?

Of course it is.

Here?

Yeah, here.
Anywhere.

Ask Edwards.
Ask Bailey.

I can't believe that.

That's 'cause
it's not your thing.

¶¶

[ giggles ]

Okay,
tell me what you said to him.

How did you fight for our love?

¶ Like seven inches
from the midday sun ¶
well, um...

What?
I, uh...

¶ I hear you whisper ¶
what did you say?

¶ And the words melt everyone ¶

well, I started to, and...

Look, I would have,
but he... he... he told me

he's talking to April
about divorce,

and so...
He's coming back here?

Do you get how serious this is?

Oh, I am off my game.

Ugh.

I hired a new cardio surgeon
and forgot to tell Pierce.

That's all the more reason
for us to use this time

right now while we have it.

When... when he's out

at what is bound to be
a very, very long dinner.

Oh, no, no.

He could come back here
any minute

in the middle of stuff!

Okay, this is our window,
Miranda.

He's asking for a divorce.

There's no telling when
we're getting our sofa back!

Oh, yes, there is.

It's when you tell him
to get the hell out!

When you get him to say, uh,
"thank you for your hospitality.

It is time for me to leave
your sofa."

Miranda, come...
No!

You don't get it
until you get it.

¶ And it's just like the ocean
under the moon ¶

¶ it's the same as the emotion
that I get from you ¶
[ Indistinct conversations ]

Oh, that was delicious.

Yeah, their pumpkin ravioli
never disappoints.

This has been really nice.

Yeah.

We somehow managed
to finish our meal

without actually...

Talking. Right.
Talking.

Do we need to, though?

I-i want to.

If you do.

But it...

It's been so nice
just having a meal with you.

We really should, though.

We should talk.

Yes. Yes.
We should.

[ Cellphone rings ]

Damn it.

I'm...
It's all right.

Duty calls.
It's fine.

I want to keep talking, though.

I do.

Um...

Tomorrow night?

Tomorrow night.

Okay.

¶ My world to lift you up ¶

¶ I would change my life
to better suit your mood ¶

Owen: Help. Help!

¶ Because you're so smooth ¶

someone, please.

Do something.
Dr. Hunt?

I can't find her.

I-i... find who?

Dr. Hunt.

No, do something!
Dr. Hunt.
Dr. Hunt, Dr. Hunt.

Are you okay?

I'm sorry.
Sorry.

I was just sleeping.
Sorry. You can go.

[ Sniffles ]

Are you sure that...
Get out.

¶ Oh, forget about it ¶

[ monitor beeping ]

Here?

Dr. Grey said monitor.
I am monitoring.

[ Sighs ]
Any luck?

With the hole
in Mr. Jaffee's head?

Nope.

3-d printing
will take too long.

A custom-based cranioplasty
won't work, so I'm...

How's the holy grail?

Can we not call him that?

Sorry. Just...

He was someone's family member,
you know?

Someone's husband,
someone's dad.

To someone, he was everything.

And now he's everything
to Mr. Jaffee.

But after all this time
and waiting,

we probably won't even
get to use him.

He's everything,
and it doesn't even matter.

It means nothing.

I know.

It doesn't seem fair.

¶¶

He's everything.

Pardon?

He's everything.
Oh, my god, he's everything!

A skull transplant?

Skull and scalp, actually.

Our kidney donor is a perfect
match for Mr. Jaffee,

which means that he's also
a match for the skull and scalp.

Lower risk of rejection.

He's everything.

We'll have
all the vascularized bone

and skin that we need
from the donor.

Have you done this before?

I haven't.

It's been done once.

It's a complex surgery,
but I think it'll work.

Same donor, same surgery.

Well, I'll start on the tumor

while you two start
organ recovery.

Let's go get our kidney.

Hey. Um, come out for a drink
with me tonight?

It'll be fun.
It's trivia night.

It can either be fun
or it can be trivia night.

Come on.
Broaden your horizons.

Plus, I don't really want
to go alone...

Uh, Robbins.
Huh?

Did you know that Henri giffard

built the first
powered airship in 1852?

¶¶

Um...

Uh, no.

I did.

And I'm free tonight.

[ Gasps ]

I'm always free
for trivia night.

Hmm.

[ Monitors beeping rapidly ]

Riggs, what happened?

Her heart's failing.

I've asked for a balloon pump
to buy us some time.

What she needs
is a valve replacement, stat.
Even better.

Call up for an O.R.
let's prep her for a sternotomy.

Krista, not a sternotomy.

Keep prepping
for a cath procedure.
No.

No?
No.
I need to open her up.

She won't survive
being open that long.

I'll never get a catheter
all the way up into the heart.

Riggs,
i am doing this procedure.

And you will be doing
the wrong procedure.

Prep for a tavr.
Woman: Right away, doctor.

My name is on her chart.

I want to be in that room so
that if something goes wrong...

Don't worry, Riggs.
If she dies, it'll be my fault.

Man: My wife's dying?

Uh, Mr. brown.
Hello.

We're taking Loretta
up to surgery right now.
Okay.

We're going to do
everything we can.

[ Crying, yelling ]

Hang in there, Gary.

How long ago
did the light stop blinking?

It stopped?
I-i-I'm not sure.

I might've missed
the last couple checks.

Tell me what's wrong here.

The ball came apart?

The ball came apart.

And the ball had
little blinking lights.

So what is missing?

I-i don't, uh...

[ Sighs ]

A battery.
Right.

Now the battery
is all the way over here.

Now, if the acid
from the battery

eats through his intestine...

It'll perf his bowel.

Well, could we get it
with an endoscope?

Well, we could have.
But now, thanks to you,
i have to open him up.

So notify Karev
that I'm taking Gary to surgery,

then you get a front-row seat
to how bad you screwed this up.

All right.
See you in there.

You won't, actually.

I'll be in the donor's O.R.

Making sure that the kidney
doesn't grow legs and walk away.

What?

Grey has me babysitting
the kidney until she needs it.

Oh, come on!
Callie.

That is...

Grey.
Yeah?

Blake
is a third-year resident.

She should be in our surgery.
The skull transplant.

That is
the learning opportunity here.

[ Sighs ]
She deserves
a chance to see it.

Callie...

Callie, we talked about this.

Blake needs to be
where I need her to be.

You don't need her
with the donor.

You just want her there.
What for? Why?

Why are you doing this?
What...

What, do you just want her
to sit there

and think about
what happened to Derek?

Callie, stop.
No, I am sorry, but I can't
just stand here and...

You're embarrassing me!

Nobody asked you
to say anything,

so just shut up
and stay out of it.

¶¶

All right.

Now, I need you to...
Hold on.

I don't need her
to fight for me,

but...
But Callie is right.

I'm here to learn.

I want to learn,
but you have to teach me.

Don't go easy on me.
Don't expect less.

Treat me like
any other resident.

Treat me worse.
I don't care.

Hate me, yell at me,
i can handle it.

I will handle it.

You told me not to quit,
and I didn't.

But you are right now.

And if you can't do
what you are here to do,

then please let me go.

¶¶

[ monitor beeping ]

Are you gonna do something?

I'm thinking.

Let's prep for a sternotomy.
Let's open her up.

Good choice.
I know.

Oh, come on.
You can say I was right.

You weren't. She won't survive
a six-hour procedure.

It's her best shot.
Listen, I get it, okay?

I'd hate me, too,
the way I was hired.

Bailey should've told you.

10 blade.

Bailey is the chief.

Yeah,
but it was pretty messed up.

I mean, you and I should've had
a proper sit-down.

I agree.
Saw, please.

You'd have seen me in my suit.

It's nice.

I mean, it's probably wrinkled,
but it's clean.

No, it's definitely,
definitely clean.

You would've asked me
where I'm from.

Australia.
Retract.

And you'd guess wrong.
New Zealand.

A common mistake.

Seattle when I was 7,
then med school, fellowship.

The middle east for a long time.

Prepare to make
a large aortic purse string.

Why?

Just do it.

Why the middle east?

Oh, relief work.

I like the pace, the people,
improvisation.

I once re-inflated
a collapsed pulmonary artery

on a dirt road with a straw
and a set of car keys.

Oh, you'd like that story.

Ooh, yeah,
you'd be asking me all about it.

You'd be so impressed.

You'd be thinking,
"wow! He's so innovative.

And he's quick.
I should hire him."

Would I?
Mm-hmm.

Hmm.
Oh, yes.

At this point,
the interview's going very well.

Take this.

3-0 prolene.

But the kicker
is when I ask about you.

How you landed a fellowship
at the age of 25.

How you made chief of cardio
at an age

when most of us
are still starting out

in our specialities.

I'd ask about some
of your 20-odd published papers

that I've read.

Mostly, I'd like to know what
the hell you're doing right now.

Trans-aortic valve
replacement.

By not putting her on bypass,

I turn your six-hour procedure
into...

Into a one-hour procedure.
Brilliant.

Bloody brilliant.

Look, it may seem like
Bailey hired me on a whim,

but I don't do anything
on a whim.

I like to choose
the people that I work for.

[ Intro to rhodes' "the lakes"
plays ]

When...
[ Sighs ]

When Wilson told me
that you lied...

About, uh, being sick...

i believed her.

Mm-hmm.

You didn't think that that...

That that was what?

That I... Sided with her
because...

No.

Good. Good.

I mean, it crossed my mind,
but no.

It crossed your mind?

Yeah, of course it did.

I mean,
it's always a possibility.

It's always there.

But it wasn't.

Wha... with me...
You have to know...

Hey, Dr. Shepherd...

¶ The lake ¶

¶ My love,

okay.
Where are you going?

You want to stand in the corner

of kidneys, be my guest.

No, no.
Okay.

So let's give Wilson a break,
and step on in here.

¶ We can see through the shadows

¶ to be where we belong ¶

I've prepared the vessels
for anastomosis,

and I like an end-to-end
with the internal iliac.

¶ We can be safe

give me some room here.
Get back.

So, want to tell me
why you missed the checks?

Dr. Karev warned me

to steer clear of the kid's mom,
and I didn't,

and she sort of jumped me.

She's a doc knocker.

That's a thing?

It is very much a thing.

H-how did he see that?

I swear I just saw a nice,
scared mom.

Let me tell you what Karev saw.

A concerned mom

with a kid who takes
a lot of energy

and a husband who only
looks up from his phone

to contradict
everything that she says.

A mom who was presented
with a doctor

who was only interested
in her son's well-being.

Made her feel good,
taken care of.

Suction.

I didn't see that.
Of course not.

You've only been a doctor
for five minutes.

But you'll learn.

People aren't always
who you think they are.

You learn to see through it.
You learn fast.

Oh, there it is.

Right there.

You want to get it?

¶ We will go on and on ¶

¶ we will go on and on ¶

chief.

Looks like both of Mr. Jaffee's
transplants were successful.

Oh, great news!

Oh, Dr. Riggs.
How you settling in?

Well, you'd have to ask
Dr. Pierce that, I think.
[ Chuckles ]

Well, have you met everybody?

Um, Dr. Nathan Riggs,

this is Grey, Shepherd,
this is hunt.

Nice to meet you.
Riggs.

Hunt!
Hey.

Yeah, we, um...

Dr. Hunt and i
go back a bit.

Oh!
Oh, I didn't realize.

No.
No [Scoffs] you didn't.

Maybe you should've asked around

before you decided to bring

a complete stranger
into the hospital.

All right, Owen,
why don't you and I just...

Did you think
this was how it was done?

Didn't you think for one second

that, as chief of this hospital,

it is your responsibility
to vet your people?

'Cause this...
This is a bad call, Bailey.

This is a really bad call.

And it was thoughtless,
and it was reckless...
hunt.

Why don't we go to my office
and talk about this?

¶¶

What's done is done, right?

[ Clears throat ]

[ Siren wails in distance ]

[ Sighs ]

What did he say?

Nothing.

Whatever this is...

He's not talking.

[ Sighs ]
Meredith...

¶¶

I made a promise to Cristina

that I wouldn't let you
go dark and twisty,

that I'd be your person
if you needed one.

I don't want to talk.

Okay.

You don't have to.

But just tell me...
Do we hate him?

We hate him.

Okay, then.
We hate him.

So, um, how'd it go last night?

Ugh.
It didn't.

I mean, dinner was great.
It was fun, actually.

But when it was finally time
to have the real talk,

April got paged.

[ Elevator bell dings ]

Honestly, I think we were both
trying to avoid the subject,

but...

Yeah, I need to have sex
with my wife.

And that can't happen
with you in my house.

Now, you're in a bad place.

I get that.

And I will do anything
i can to... i-i will.

But I need you off my sofa.

I mean, it's for the good
of the hospital...

Totally get it.
Okay?

I'll see you.
All right.

[ Sighs ]

I mean, how did he seem to you?

Riggs?
Yeah.

I don't know.
Smart, capable, charming.

Ugh.

I think Bailey was right.

Owen wouldn't tell you anything?

He just shut me out.
I don't know why.

And then... I'm afraid
i might've been racist.

[ Sighs ]
God, I hate this day.

Okay.
Okay, back it up.

Oh, good!
I can talk to you about this.

I am worried i offended Edwards.

I need you to tell me.

Why me?
'Cause I'm your sister?

Yes.

Or because I'm your "sistah"?

No.

This is exactly
what I was worried about.

Okay.
What do you think
you did?

I don't think I did anything,
but I think she thinks I did.

Amelia, use your words.

Did what?

[ Sighs ]

Sided with Wilson over her
because she's black.

Which I didn't do.
I think.

I... god, i-i hate that this is
even an issue all of a sudden.

Well, it's not an issue for you.

And it's not all of a sudden.

I mean, okay,

it's not "Mississippi burning"
or anything,

but it is all over.

It's when people assume
I'm a nurse.

Or when I go
to get on an airplane

with my first-class ticket,

and they tell me that
they're not boarding coach yet.

It's like a low buzz
in the background.

And sometimes
you don't even notice it,

and sometimes
it's loud and annoying.

And sometimes
it can get dangerous.

And sometimes it is ridiculous,
like right now.

But it's not funny.

I mean, if I'm doing it
and I don't even notice it...

Then notice it.

Look, did Edwards tell you
that she's okay?

Yes.

Okay.

Then don't give her
the extra work

of having to make you
feel good about it.

Right.

Okay, but how do I know
that she's really...

Because she knows you, okay?

So listen to the words
that are coming out of her mouth

and believe them.

This is not a small thing.

And I'm glad that you feel like
you can talk to me about it,

but...

I-i don't speak
for all black people.

I am not the spokeswoman.
No one is.

And it is kind of annoying
to be asked questions like I am.

But, um, one piece of advice
that I can give you

that I think
we would all agree with

is that if you feel
uncomfortable having done it,

check your white privilege,
and don't do it again.

But I don't think you're racist.

You don't think?

Girl, get in the car.

Okay.

¶¶

[ laughter ]

He had so many grandkids
i lost count.

[ Laughs ]
I'm not exaggerating.

Seven.

He had seven grandchildren
from six kids,

who he raised on his own
after his wife died.

Are you okay?

I treated Mr. Jaffee for years,

and I finally get him
what he needs,

and you just come and take it
and run with it.

And I helped you all day.

He was my patient.

That's all.

Jo.

¶ A baby girl without a home ¶

¶ tragedy's reign

¶ I guess I shoulda

yeah.

¶ I guess I shoulda
known better ¶

I would love that, actually.

Okay.
[ Laughs ]

¶ Part of the revolution ¶

[ sighs ]

So, um,
we've got science covered.

I'm strong on history
and geography.

Uh, how's your popular culture?

I just want to get a sense
of our strengths here...

Richard, I'm sorry.

I'm here to...

I wanted to have...
I'm trying to...

I'm here to meet girls.

I don't care about trivia.

I don't even like trivia.

Oh.

[ Indistinct conversations,
laughter ]

I see.

That's...

And then you offered to come,
and I didn't know how to say no.

And I just... I didn't want
to go it alone, honestly.

It's just it's been a long time,
and I'm rusty and nervous.

And I feel like I lived
an entire lifetime

since the last time i dated,

and I don't even know
where to start.

You need a wingman.

What do you like?

Glasses?

Cardigan.
She has a nice laugh.

You into tattoos?

¶ Part of the revolution ¶

not that many tattoos.

Well, you know,
i-I'm just trying

to get a sense
of what we're after here.

¶ We won't accept excuses ¶

glasses is cute.

I'll be right back.

Uh, sit up straight.

Hello, ladies.

It's hard to fight
against certain biases.

[ Elevator bell dings ]

It's important to keep
an open mind.

It's how we learn.

It's how we grow.

[ Elevator bell dings ]
It's how we move forward.

[ Doors close ]
Dr. Grey, right?

Yep.

Yours is easy to remember.

It's on all
the hospital stationery.

What's the story there?

That's too long a story to tell.

¶ We tolerate no abuses ¶

I was actually headed
across the street.

I was gonna grab a drink
or something.

Are you headed that way, or...?

¶ Why, why, why, why? ¶

I'm a friend of Owen hunt's.

Until we don't.

[ Elevator bell dings ]

I see.

So, no.

¶ I guess I shoulda
known better ¶

until we let our bias take over.

¶ I had this great epiphany ¶

¶ and rhythm nation
was the dream ¶

until we succumb

to what feels right or good

or satisfying in that moment.

Because even then,
deep down inside,

we usually know
we're going to regret it.

¶ I guess next time
I'll know better ¶
