Grey's Anatomy (2005–…): Season 13, Episode 4 - Falling Slowly - full transcript

- The harder the hit,
the more it'll sting.

That's usually the case.

So we prescribe.

Meds, ice,
compression, elevation.

Things you do
to stop the immediate pain.

You left early
this morning.

- Yeah, 'cause
I love it here so much.

I had to open,
plus it looks good.

-Is that what the lawyer said?
-Supposed to establish that

I'm a valuable member
of the community.

You know, to counteract the fact
that I ruined DeLuca's face.



I meet with them today.
Strategy session.

They say it's make or break,
whatever that means.

But you can only
dull the pain for so long,

and when the drugs
start to wear off...

...it really hurts.

Thank you
for offering to help.

I love you,
and I feel for you.

Solidarity and all of that,
but this is scut.

Don't think for one second
you're getting points

for arriving before me.

Things you didn't do
yesterday --

refill
the glove dispenser,

check the auxiliary
thermometer batteries,

stock oral swabs.



I'm out.
And what, you think this is
a place to --

to hang out
with your friends?

You do realize we open in 20,

so you gonna sit there
and admire me or do you
want to get to work?

It's a big thing
for me not to know.

What is?
Which one?

The church one --
that you go to church.

You go to AA.
That's a lot of praying.

What are we gonna tell
the children

about God
and the afterlife or --

Wait, the children?

What children?

Our children.

So we're having
children now?

No!
How can we have children?

I barely know you.

You know,
I had a thought.

You and I should, uh...

hang out together.

You know,
somewhere that isn't here.

Like, uh...

a movie?

No.

Maybe I could
just show up there,

and then you show up,

and hey, look,
we're hanging out.

I don't hang out.

You could.

Come on.
We're in the clear.

Pierce asked me out.
I let her down gently.

We could try.

There's no trying.

We are not
that type of friends.

All right, well,
what type of friends are we?

I'm leaving.

It's progress.

Sorry I'm late.
What do we have?

Jackson, uh...

Dr. Avery!

Yeah, I'll get her.

Hey.
Hey.

Just, um, catching up.

Tough night with Harriet?

She got up like six times.

Or maybe seven.

Ooh.

Does it count
if she wakes

just as we're
putting her back down?

"We"?
What, you and April?

No, you guys -- You have to
switch off, take turns.

Yeah, I know.
We are, totally.

I mean, kind of.

It's just, you know,
she's recovering from surgery,

so every time it's her turn,

I still get up
and see how she's doing,

which makes her
feel guilty,

so then she tries to come
and help when it's my turn,

and I spend that entire time
trying to convince her

that she needs to get rested up
for -- for her turn.

Which you then
get up for, too.

It's not a perfect system.

But, um, I'm ready to work,
you know?

I'm just --
I'm cranking away right here.

Yeah, um,
well, tell you what.

I'll take point on rounds

by way of the coffee cart,
and, um...

Or not.
Uh, got a trauma on the helipad.

-You're on your own.
-Yeah, a couple minutes.

-Hold that elevator.
-Yep.

Hey.

-You look tired.

Well, I've been up a while with
Amelia talking and talking.

She's yours now.
I'm not taking her back.

I'm good. She's great.
We're -- We're great.

You have the rest of
this elevator ride. Go.

You know,
she gets an idea into her head

and she just
won't let it go.

She's relentless, like a --
like a shark.

She just won't put it down.
-Two more floors.

And she asks me a question
and I answer it,

and my answer just causes
more questions,

and suddenly I-I-I've forgotten
what we're talking about

and I'm late for work.

And I love her,
and it's exhausting.

-Do you feel better?
-Yeah, a little bit.

Glider plane crashed
near Snoqualmie Falls.

Two passengers,
both conscious at the scene.

Is Polly behind me?
She's my wife.

Is she okay?
I need to see her. Please.

Polly Campbell, 33,
B.P.'s 90 over 40.

Blunt trauma to the chest
and abdomen.

Where's Daniel?
Is he okay?

We've got him.

Timir,
I wanted to ask a favor.

Look, I need to leave for
about an hour this afternoon,

but I can be back
before close.

I know you consider this
grunt work, Dr. Karev.

It's a far cry from the hallowed
halls of the surgical floor.

I-I didn't say that.

Oh, and I'm sure you're not used
to taking orders from a nurse.

Oh, no, it's fine.
I just

Oh, is it fine?

Thank you.

This is second Thursday.
Vaccination day.

We're about to get flooded
by hundreds of patients

needing shots
on top of everyone else.

I wouldn't ask
if it wasn't important.

What's important
is our patients.

They can't be rescheduled
like elective surgeries.

They need you here and so do I.
The answer's no.

You figure out your life
on your own schedule.

Clinic's open.

Get the doors.

Pierce, you see this page?
Cardio consult in the pit.

Oh, well, if you're going --

You want to go?
I don't have to go.

No, you --
you're already going.

Why would I go?
-'Cause you were going.

Well, I'm not, though,
if you are.

So I'll go.

And I will not go.

Excuse me.
-Okay.

Okay.

I want to see my husband.

Try and hold still
for me.

Is Daniel hurt? Can --
Can you at least tell me that?

He's in the other room
getting checked out.

There's some fluid
in the belly.

We're gonna need a C.T.
to take a better look.

Was your husband flying
the glider?

It was his first time up there
without an instructor,

and he wanted me to go.

He worked so hard for his.

-SATs are dropping.
-She's gonna need a chest tube.

Please,
please tell me he'll be okay.

I got him, Polly,

but I need to make sure
you can breathe first, okay?

-Okay, how can I help?
-Lido.

28 French,
and set up a pleurovac.

Still dropping.
SATs are down to 88.

I've got it.
Will you move?

Polly, I'm sorry.

Aah!

There you go.

How is he?

Superficial
facial lacerations.

But right leg, though.

I'm fine.
Please, go help my wife.

- She's asking for you, too.

She's being treated
in the next room.

I'm telling you I'm fine.

I'm gonna need sandbags
and a spinal x-ray.

Okay.

I just want to see Polly.

Daniel, I'm gonna need
to get a spinal x-ray.

I can't feel my legs.

Okay, I don't want you
to be alarmed.

No, no, I mean I haven't
felt them for three years.

I'm paraplegic.

Oh. Well, okay.

- Where's Daniel?
I want to see him!

Daniel!

-Owen, stop.
-Sweetie, you there?

Daniel?

I-I-I'm here!
Are you okay?

-Are you all right?
-Are you okay?

-I'm all right.
-I'm okay, I think.

Polly,
I-I wish I could see you.

I love you so much.

I love you, too.

Polly, I'm so sorry!

Polly?

I noticed it
a couple weeks ago.

Now it smells
kind of funny.

That is
one infected abscess.

We're gonna have to
open that up.

What are you doing?

My patient needs an I&D
for his abscess.

Yeah, not by you.
Page surgery.

I am surgery.

No, not in here you're not.
You do not lance,

you do not drain,
you do not cut.

Look,
it'll take five minutes.

You are not authorized
to use a scalpel on anyone.

Page surgery.

I thought you said
you were a surgeon.

I wanted to
let you know that

the internal reports
have been completed and filed.

Copies will be
mailed to you,

and all your records
have gone to the D.A.

Okay. Thanks.

Uh, one more thing.

While the legal proceedings
are still ongoing,

you are not
to discuss this matter

within the walls
of this hospital.

Don't talk about it
to anyone.

-Understood?
-Yeah, I understand.

You know, it won't be hard
not to talk about it

'cause no one talks to me much
now anyways, so...

You know, Dr. Avery's being
called in as an expert, I think.

DeLuca,
what'd I just say?

Right.
Don't talk to anyone.

Got it.

Pan scan with contrast,
please.

How old was I
when my dad died?

Sorry?

How old was I
when my dad died?

-5.
-I was 5.

See, you knew that.

But your dad died, too,
and I have no idea when or how.

It hasn't come up.

Well, don't you think
it should have?

Or maybe we didn't
give it enough time to.

We gave ourselves
a two-week engagement.

I think we're okay.

I think I should know how old
you were when your father died.

-It's --
-Almost 10.

-Ah.
-He knows?

Hey, sorry.

What? It's not a secret, is it?
-No.

-Was that a secret?
-No, no.

It's just she's worried
about stuff

she doesn't need to
be worried about.

Makes it a little more difficult
than it needs to be, right?

Yeah,
it's worth it, though.

Definitely.

Scans up?

Nope. Just started.

Oh, you're back.
I didn't know you were here.

I'm not back.

I'm here early for my
appointment with Dr. Robbins.

Six hours early.

Baby's in the nursery,
so I'm here to finally sleep.

Dibs on bottom bunk.

Don't you have a bed of your own
at home?

Not my home.

I can't day nap there
'cause it's cleaning day,

and people are vacuuming
and polishing.

It would feel rude.

You're making
very little sense.

You know that thing
they say about

how you're supposed to sleep
when the baby sleeps?

That's a lie!

Babies don't sleep.

-I'd like to sleep.
-At least my baby doesn't.

Except when she does sleep,
then I don't sleep.

-You know why?
-'Cause you keep talking to her.

Because I am a guest
in Jackson's house.

And Kepners
are perfect guests,

and being
a perfect guest...

is a hard job.

Listen, Dr. Kepner,
I empathize, I really do,

but I just spent 16 hours
straight removing a meningioma

and clipping something like a
million back-to-back aneurysms.

And I'm back on Dr. Shepherd's
service in a couple of hours,

so I need my sleep, too,

so I could go cut into
actual human brains, so --

You got to be kidding me.

Well, am I dying?
Do I got the cancer?
No.

Good news, Earl. Looks like
you just had beets for dinner.

You're having a natural reaction
called beeturia.

It's where the red pigment
of the beet passes through --

- Which means you're fine.

Give this to the desk
on your way out.

This is a clinic,
not a hotel.

Bed six -- binge drinker.
Her name's Emma.

Frequent flier -- in here
once a month. Good luck.

Uh, what's the protocol
for underage alcoholics?

Uh, like an adult.
You hydrate her,

give her the pamphlet,
then get her out.

We need the bed.

Finally.

Emma, right?
How you feeling today?

Oh, I'm feeling amazing.
I'm feeling perfect.

Got it all together.

I'm Kendall
and Khloé and Kylie

and whatever other
"K" names you got.

Just give me an I.V. bag,
and I'll be on my way.

Headache, nausea, chills,
the spins --

-I.V. bag.
-All right, vitals first

then I decide what to give you,
okay?

Oh, ew.
You're new.

Put the I.V.
in the left arm.

It's where
the good veins are.

Start with a liter of saline
and push it hard.

I'm dehydrated.

And do me a favor.

If you're an intern
or, like, dumb,

get help, because last time,
I was poked about 100 times

and my arm was purple
for weeks.

That's good to know.

How are the scans?

Well, it looks like
a grade-3 splenic injury.

How's the husband?
-He's worried about her.

Mm. I'm gonna take her up
for an ex lap.

For that? There's no reason.
There's no active bleeding.

Well, I thought that,
too, but look.

There's stranding and fullness
around the aorta.

If we go in for the spleen,

then we get to have a better
look when we're there.

Right, but there's no
clinical reason for surgery.

Well, there is if we find out
that her aorta is in trouble.

If. That's my point.
We should wait and see.

I can see what you mean, Hunt,
but Grey's right.

I mean,
the patient is stable.

Observation just makes
more sense right now.

We do a repeat C.T. angio
in a few hours --

Oh, waiting is definitely
the safer choice.

Well, I disagree.

Oh, so that's it, then?

Two against one?

Fine.

She gets checks
every 30 minutes,

and I hope you're both right.

We make quite the team.

I don't need a team.
It's the right call.

This is the wrong call.

You got outvoted
by two smart surgeons.

It happens.

So, why did you join
the army?

Okay,
why are we doing this?

I feel like
I'm in a job interview.

There's just stuff I don't know.
I mean, it's scary.

We have
our whole lives to --

And there's stuff that
you don't know about me.

And what
if you don't like it?

What if it's too scary?

How bad could it be?

Hey, hey, really.
How bad?

You know what?

Never mind.

It's fine.

When the trocar's in
the amniotic cavity,

that's when we use
a fetoscope -- Hey, DeLuca.

Come here.

Freeze.

Tilt your head up.

Chin up. Turn.

Damn.

It's beautiful.

You look nice today, too.

Avery did a really great job.

Nice symmetrical
eye sockets.

Not even a hint of
residual bruising.

No scars.
How are you feeling?

-I'm fine.
-Yeah?

I keep missing you
at home.

Avery give you
a clean bill of health?
Yeah, no, I-I'm good.

And what about the trial?
Any news of a court date?

-I can't really talk about it.
-Whoa, whoa, whoa.

What are you talking about,
you can't talk about it?

We share a bathroom.
-With anyone.

Okay, it's the Chief's orders.
I'm sorry.

Bed six, Karev.

I have to
check on this guy.

Okay, uh, so I have
two more patients' parents

saying they'll be
character witnesses.

Yeah.

I-I'm trying to get there.

I-I'll be there.

I'll -- I'll try.

Was that your lawyer?

Meeting's supposed to
be at 4:00

if I can get past
Timir the gatekeeper.

You bring ketchup?
-Ugh, did you wash your hands?

Why are we here?

Oh, because Alex is here,

and we want to see
what Alex is up to.

Does Alex have something he'd
like to share with the group?

AA pamphlets?

They're for this patient,
this college kid.

She's a mess.
-Literature is not gonna do it.

When you're addicted
to something

and you want it so badly,
a piece of paper is --

It's not gonna
make her stay away.

What would
make you stay away?

Say if you were a bartender
and an alcoholic

and there's alcohol
in front of you

right under your nose
all the time.

Doing cardio surgeries.

Uh, count to five.

If that doesn't work,
get out of there,

remove yourself
from the situation.

So, on a scale of
lots to nothing,

how much would you say
you knew about my brother

when you guys
got married?

I'm not getting
in the middle of that.

Why? Did Owen...

I knew Owen would
say something to you.

See? There's something
you know about him.

-Uh, back to my patient.
-Your kid might need an ally.

Someone who's been there
who can speak the language.

A pamphlet's not gonna do it.
Not that I am offering.

I have my own stuff
going on.

Really?
This is not a cafeteria, Karev.

We've got two cases of strep,
your alcoholic.

Your foot guy still
needs his foot done.

I paged surgery!

You're in a room
full of surgeons.

One of you guys want to lance
a patient's foot abscess for me?

-Resident's job.
-I'm eating.

I would,
but I don't want to.

Yeah.
I'm gonna pay for that.

How much longer?

The I.V.'s
still almost full,

and I don't have time
to sit here all day.

Hello?
I have work.

-Call in sick.
-I can't call in.

Just tell me if I'm looking
at 20 minutes or an hour or...

Oh, my God,
I'm not an alcoholic!

They say you're in here
all the time asking for fluids.

Because I've figured out
what makes my body feel better.

Isn't that what
doctors should want?

I'm making
your life easier.

Fine, forget it.

You know what?

You're full of crap.

-Excuse me?
-Look, I may be a doctor,

but that doesn't mean
I never partied before.

-I had one beer.
-Oh, come on.

You're a kid who routinely
comes in here for an I.V.

after a night
of partying.

And you're an adult
who routinely uses
"party" as a verb.

-Emma, listen to me.
-You're not listening to me.

Emma, you keep doing this and
an I.V. isn't your fix anymore.
Oh, my God.

Because first it's drinking,
then someone gives you a pill.

Next it's needles.

Before you know it,
you're out on the street
with all the other junkies.

Is that how
you want it to go?

No!
On the side of the road
covered in your own puke?

- Dr. Karev.

That's enough.

Okay, listen,
this girl's a drunk.
No, I'm not!

Step away from that young woman
right now.

That was good.

It was very good.
Very convincing.

Yeah?
I think I was a little harsh.

Ah, it was just right.

You were a jerk.
She and I have a common enemy.

How much time do I have?

About half an hour.

I slowed down
her I.V. drip.

Smart.

I'm going in.

Good luck.

Oh, sorry.

I-I didn't realize, um --

I'll just go
to another room.

You don't have to.
I'm almost done.

Okay, great.

Four, five.

Five what?

More minutes.

Yeah.

Uh, oh, you know what?
I'll come back.

You don't have to.

So, Polly doesn't
need surgery?

Right now, no.
It's a waiting game.

We would like to wait and see
if it resolves itself,

but she's stable and awake.

She'll hate this.

Waiting and seeing.

When I got hurt,
we were engaged,

and I gave her an out.

I mean,
it only seemed fair.

Her answer was to haul
the chaplain into my room.

We basically eloped
in a hospital.

Nothing gets to her.

I like her.

Except glider planes.
Those are my thing.

She thinks she hides it,

but I know she's not wild
about heights.

Oh, God.
I hope she's okay.

I'm gonna let her know
you're here, okay?

Hey, Polly.

Someone's here to see you.

I need some help in here!

-What's happening to her?
-Abdomen's rigid.

Belly's full of blood.
Hang two units.

I need a 7-0 E.T. tube
and an intubation tray.

Blood's on the infuser.
Coags sent.

Page Hunt and Riggs
and book an O.R. right now.

You said she was stable.

What the hell's going on?

Her spleen ruptured,
and now her aorta's dissecting.

Gown us.
We could've avoided this.

Yeah, well,
this shouldn't have happened.

It wouldn't have if you two
hadn't teamed up against me,

if we hadn't waited!
Okay, listen,
can we do this another time,

because if we don't
get to this dissection,

it's gonna take out
her coronaries.

Let's get in here.
I need some hands.

I told that other doctor
this is just what my body does.

I have a beer
or I get dehydrated,

and I get sick.

I know how to fix it.
This is how I fix it.

I totally understand.

You know your own body
better than anyone.

Exactly!
And I don't need some idiot

telling me I have a problem
when I don't.

Okay, you know how to handle it.
You know your own limits.

It's doctors like him
that are the problem.

He thinks
I'm some crazy party girl.

I'm not an alcoholic.

You know,
I used to tell myself that.

Well,
actually quite a bit.

We talked a lot about that
in AA.

AA?

Really? What is this?

Are you trying to play good cop,
bad cop with me or something?

Emma, no, no, no.
All I'm trying to --

I am not stupid and I won't
stick around for this.

What --
-No, thanks.

-Emma, wait a minute.

- What did you do?

I-I-I just barely
touched her.

Emma -- Emma,
just calm down.

Don't touch me!

Just --
Just let me fix it.

Oh, my God.

Oh. What on earth?

So...
can I get out of here now?

Who is responsible
for this?

Not the clinic.
It's Karev's fault.

He should've
discharged her.

Dr. Karev works for
the clinic.

Dr. Weber,
did you injure her?

Because now it's a liability.

She appears fine.

She needs x-rays
to rule out a fracture.

Well, she's back in bed
and not happy about it.

I'll check on
those x-rays.

Mm.

Actually, Chief, uh,
I could use a little help.

I have a meeting with my lawyer
this afternoon,

and Timir won't let me out.

I have helped you.
I got you this job.

I didn't have to.

What, you need me to help you
do that, too?

Figure it out.

Rush on these, please.
Thanks.

So, Bailey told me, too,
not to say anything to anybody.

But, uh...

I don't have anyone else
who understands except you,

and I know that Bailey said
not to say anything,

but it's like --
Oh, heads up.

Uh, I --
-I-I'm gonna go --

Okay. Oh.

April grinds the coffee?

And brews it.

Every morning.

Yeah,
I don't see the problem.

No matter how late
we are up with Harriet,

she wakes up before me
and makes the coffee.

No matter how badly I need
to leave and go to work or --

Yeah, but you can't just walk
away from a fresh pot of coffee.

And not feel like an ass,
no.

So, I drink the coffee
and make the small talk

because that's what people do,
apparently,

but sometimes I don't want to
make the small talk.

What are you laughing at?

Nothing, man.
I just -- I-I remember.

From when you stayed
with me and Miranda.

Yeah,
but I wasn't that bad.

Dude.

I was?

No. You --
You should've said something.

Yes,
and so should you.

Just talk to April.

Yeah, I -- Okay, you're right.
I will.

It wasn't really that bad
with me, though, right?

It might've been better
if you'd have

brewed a brother a cup of coffee
every now and again, but...

I'm so tired.

But I go out of my way to make
coffee every morning to be nice.

So sleep in.
Don't make coffee.

Well,
I have to do something.

I was taught to be
a courteous guest.

But you're not a guest.

You're a --
You're a co-habitant.

You're a roommate.
He's your -- He's your Andrew.

He's not my Andrew, no.

He's my ex, and we live together
'cause he's being nice,

so I need to be a good
houseguest even if it kills me,

which it might, unless I die
of lack of sleep first.

I can't handle
dying right now.

So move out.

-What?
-Your incision is healed.

You can lift as much as
you want, so come back to work,

move out of the house,
and then do whatever you want.

Doctor's orders.

Not only do you get
dumped on me in my clinic,

but then you make me look
incompetent

in front of the Chief?

I didn't do anything.

You pulled a girl's arm
out of her socket.

Yeah, and I put it back
like I always do,

so when can I go?

You still need to
get x-rays.

And I didn't even touch her.
-You upset her.

You're the reason
she tried to leave.

Look, my shift
starts really soon.

You have no idea,
but my boss is the biggest jerk.

I have some idea.
All it takes is
her filing one complaint.

I know you don't care 'cause you
have a cushy job to go back to,

but this is my cushy job.

I don't need you
causing trouble.

You paged me?

Can you hear me, Karev?
Are you even paying attention?

I, uh, paged surgery.

I need a consult
over an abscess.

Okay.

Bed two.
Can you do it?

You paged me here
to do your scut?

No, no, that's not --

Then why else do you need me
to lance a boil?

Because
I'm not allowed to.

Damn right,
you are not allowed to,

and -- and you're not allowed to
go near that girl again either.

Okay, I don't want you
anywhere near her.

Screw it. Screw all this!
There are your patients.

There's your surgical consult.
I have someplace to be.

Hold on! Stop the bus!

So you know how Emma
presented with a hangover
but insisted that wasn't it?

Yeah, even though
she was in the clinic

every couple weeks
for I.V. hydration?

And she said that thing with her
arms has happened to her before.

Well, what's this
have to do with me?

Well, just read the chart.
Look at her list of symptoms.

I mean, there's something
wrong with her,

but she's not an alcoholic.

Dehydration, bruises easy,
joint hyper mobility --

that's for sure.

Fainting spe--

Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome?

You're not as strong
as you think.

I only encountered
a couple cases in my career.

I mean, we'll have to run tests
to confirm it.

But if you're right
and she has this...

Karev, you may have just
saved this girl's life.

Did you tell her?

No,
that's why I paged you.

You have to tell her,
not me.

Look, if I give her
some big diagnosis,

I'm undermining
Timir's authority,
but if you tell her --

No, it doesn't seem right.
No.

Look, she needs this way more
than I need a credit.

If we can't catheterize through
the inferior petrosal sinus,

will we go straight to
the superior ophthalmic
vein or what?

What?

You...

had sickle cell anemia.

Oh, good. This.

Have?
Had? Have had?

-Had.
-You had that.

I know that about you.

Nobody knows that about you,
but you told me,

trusted me
with the information.

You let me know you.
I know that about you.

I know
we are about to go treat

a dural carotid
cavernous fistula.

Owen could've had it, too.
I have no idea.

Unlikely
for a number of reasons.

But I know it about you,

just like I know that
you do not like dogs.

You don't ever go to church.
You do like mushrooms.

And I knew all of those things
before today.

I should've married you.

I'm not sure that would've
worked out for either of us.

That church one
is just a guess.

Okay, wait.

You're gonna have to
say that all again.

Ellie what-is-it
syndrome?

Ehlers-Danlos.

It's extremely hard to diagnose,
but all your symptoms add up.

You did a great job

paying attention
to what your body needs.

This diagnosis is a good thing,
Emma.

We now know better
how to actually help you.

All this time...

So, this means it's real.

I'm not overreacting.
I'm not crazy.

Definitely not.

Thank you, Dr. Weber.

There's no way
that other asshat doctor

would've figured this out.

That's why the clinic's here,
Emma.

We're just happy to help.

Thank you.

While we were in there,

you had a sudden dissection
in your aorta,

which, um, well, I'm glad
we caught it in time.

How you feeling?

I don't know.

I -- I guess, like --

like I fell out of the sky in
a plane I never wanted to be in.

Don't tell Danny
I said that.
No.

He'll feel so bad.
I know him.

He's eating himself alive
over this.

Can I see him?

Yeah.
I'll find him for you.

Oh, one more thing
that's kind of strange.

I can't feel my legs yet.

When is this anesthesia
gonna wear off?

What?

So, when the aorta
dissected,

it compromised
the feeder vessels

to the spinal cord
right around L-4.

And it damaged
the cord there.

So, she's paralyzed
from the waist down?

And it's irreversible.

If we'd been
in there sooner --

It wouldn't have
made a difference.
Yes, if we had gone in --

Owen, it wouldn't have
made a difference!

It dissected
right in front of us!

I couldn't have foreseen that
and neither could you.

This happens.

It's happened to me
before.

Okay? It's unfortunate,
but it does.

You couldn't have
saved this.

I'll go tell her.

That's the truth,
right?

What?

That we couldn't have
seen this coming.

That's true?
-Why would you ask me that?

Because I need to make sure
that our decision to wait

didn't put this woman
in a wheelchair.

No, it didn't.

You didn't...

side with me because of...

you and I?

Excuse me?

Because we decided to wait,
this falls on us.
Whoa, whoa.

If you think I would play around
with a patient's well-being

in order
to get into your pants?

That's not what I'm saying.
I'm asking a question.

It's a damned
offensive question!

Did we make the right decision
for the right reason?

I agreed with you
because you were right,

not because you were you.

Now, what happened to Polly
is not to your fault.

And it's certainly not mine.
I'm not that stupid!

You heading home?

I'm not sure I'm at liberty

to disclose that information
at this time.

Right.

Wouldn't be prudent
at this juncture.

Your whereabouts should
remain need-to-know.

Mm.

Look, if you can't
talk to anyone

and I can't talk to anyone,

no one's gonna know if
we talk to each other, right?

True, yeah.

You hungry?

I better not say.

So, Dr. Hunt says
that she's still groggy

and trying to
process everything,

but she wants to see you.

I can't go in there.

I can't. I-I'm the one
who did this to her.

She's in the bed
because of me.

I can't face her.
I can't go in.

You have to.

You're the only one she needs
right now.

She was on the plane
because of me.

And now she's off
and she's alive.

Your wife is alive.

And if there's anyone who could
tell her this isn't the end,

that this isn't the worst thing
that could've happened,

it's you.

Because this isn't
the worst thing.

She's still breathing.

She needs you right now.

She needs you to be strong
and pull it together for her.

Daniel,
she's ready for you.

But what --
what do I say?

You guys love each other.

You can say anything.

Shh.
She's finally sleeping.

- Okay.

Shouldn't she be
in a crib or something?

You should be happy
she's sleeping at all.

Well, I mean,
I was hoping we could talk.

Um, I just feel like
if I stop doing this,

she's, like, gonna wake up.

Okay. Totally fine.
It can wait.

I'll just, um...

I'll go watch the game
in my room.

Did you want to
watch it in here,

'cause I can try
to move her into her crib.

No, it's totally fine.
Don't be silly.

It's -- There's plenty of TVs.
It's fine.

I mean, I'm aware,
but this one's the biggest.

-I said no. Thank you.
-Are you sure you --

'Cause if you want to watch
the game, like, I can --

April, I said no.

Okay.

I can't keep doing this.

All right? I can't keep
walking on egg shells

in my own house,
all right?

We have to figure out a way
to freakin' exist together.

I'm sorry.
You're walking on egg shells?

What do you think
it's been like for me?

I don't know.
I don't know.

I know this whole thing
is weird.

Yeah, it's weird,
and...hard.

Agreed. It's hard.
I don't like it.

-I don't either.
-Well, what do you want to do?

I don't know.
Move out, I guess.

What?

Well,
Arizona says that I can.

I mean, I'm --
I'm healed, so...

I will, like, I guess.

I mean, does that mean, like,
right away, or what do you --

As soon as makes sense.

Right.

Well, uh...

She just slept
right through that.

Yeah, she can be, um...

pretty quiet
when she wants to be.

I don't want you
to move out.

I don't want to
move out, either.

I'm scared
I may never sleep again.

She's stronger than I am.
She could defeat me.

There's two of us.

We got her outnumbered.

You two are staying.

Okay.

Okay.

She's sleeping.
Why the hell aren't we?

I don't know.

I'm just gonna go
set up the coffee thing
for the morning.

Please don't. Okay?
It's enough with the coffee.

-No?
-No.

Okay.

Night.

Night.

You know
you can tell me anything.

I know.

Okay.

Night.

There was this man
I loved very much.

And we loved
taking drugs together,

and one night
we took a lot.

And...the next morning
I woke up,

and he had O.D.'d

and aspirated on his vomit
and...

died.

I told you it's bad.

I once, um...

I once choked Cristina.

I-I didn't mean to,
but, uh, I was asleep.

I had this ceiling fan.

And in my head,
the blades, it was...

In my head,
it was a helicopter.

And I thought
I was back there.

And I woke up,
and I was choking her.

We're okay, right?

We're okay.

And our kids will be okay?

Our kids will be amazing.

They will.

I can't wait.

So, let's not, then.

Let's not wait.

I can't do
what we did today again.

Okay.

I can't have another case

where I question
my medical decisions or yours.

I can't do my job
if I'm thinking about

what you're thinking
about me.

So,
you're thinking about me?

I don't want to be.

Let's just be colleagues.

Nothing more.

Colleagues?

Sounds stuffy.

It's not.

It's --

Colleagues are people who hang
out at work and talk about work.

Still sounds stuffy.

Well,
it's what I'm offering.

I don't see why
we can't be friends.

- Who can't be friends?

Uh, you and me.

I just feel like things
have been a bit strange.

Like I've made you feel
a little uncomfortable.

God, no.
No, you didn't.

You di-- It's fine.

Of course we can be friends.
We are friends.

All of us, right?
We're all friends.

Great, then.

-I should get going.
-Bye.

Thank you
for talking to him.

-Yeah.
-It's awful, but it's --

It's good to have it
out on the table.

-Thank you.
-Yeah.

There's a reason these fixes
are called temporary.

They were never meant
to last forever.

So, what happens when
you're faced with a fix

that's more permanent?

Hey.

You ready to go?

Uh, give me a minute.

How was your meeting?

How do the lawyers feel
about your case?

Do you fight it?
Do you try to resist?

I'm going to jail.

God, Alex,
don't say that.

Why not?

You're in
an awfully good mood

for a guy who thinks
he's going to the slammer.

I caught a one-in-a-million case
today, Mer.

It wasn't so terrible.

Or do you step back and decide
that maybe acceptance...

I'm good.

Okay, let's go.

...is the best fix of all?

What are you
looking for?

It's right here.

Well, damn.

13 seasons

of fun.

Gimme, gimme, gimme.

13 seasons of drama.

This act

was a felony.

It was nice knowing you.

Shut up.

13 seasons of twisty turns...

It's bad.

You're falling
for me.

I slept with him.

...like only "Grey's"
can deliver.

Damn right.
