In some residency programs,
graduating surgeons
get a wooden chair,
emblazoned with the
emblem of their program.

When those residents
become attendings,
the chair usually
goes in their office,
where it collects dust for
the rest of their careers.
Relax. And come
off the mouthpiece.
Well, don't just stare
at me. Did I pass?
Not only did you pass,
but your lung capacity is
50% greater than we'd expect.
And your sats are
consistently in the high 90s.
Mer, you killed it.Yeah.
So, as long as your labs check
out, we're kicking you out.
Are you happy?
I am happy. I'm just
not sure I believe you.
We are going to
have this framed.
Well, I am. I'm
having it framed.
You give your program
years of your life,
your sweat, your tears,
and in my case, at
least, your blood,
and your program
gives you a chair.
Oh. Please.
Give me some good
news. Is it happening?
Is it finally happening?
Yeah, looks like it's
finally happening.
Perez, let's get
a clap-out ready.
And you know what?
Keep it quiet.
I want it to be a surprise.
Understood. I know
how to handle a queen.
Ah. Mm.
DeLuca took such
good care of her.
We need to tell
her about DeLuca.
I wish he could see this.
Maybe he can.
I suppose it's a nice tradition,
if you're into
that sort of thing.
And if you want a
constant reminder
of the hell you went
through to get here.
Hey, you okay?
Yeah. Sorry. I just,
uh...
I needed a minute to...
Meredith's going home.
She's going home.
I mean, I haven't had
good news since forever,
and I-I know that we are
still in the thick of things,
but we're finally getting a
handle on how to treat this.
I actually feel hope.
It's about time.
Okay.
I'm ready. Let's go. Okay. Okay.
Oh! Sorry. Sorry.Sorry. Sorry.
Sorry. After you.
Okay. No, ser... Okay.
Oh, my God.
Scout is dressed and
chewing on his plastic cat.
It is a giraffe.
I used to get dressed.
Clothes are overrated.
Says the man leaving for work.
You sure you don't
want to help Ellis
with some finger painting?
No, I'm good with work.
If Nico ever sends me
those post-op scans.
I used to get texts
about post-op scans.
Oh, my God.
What? Oh, my God!
Mer's pulmonary function tests
show a total lung capacity
of almost 4 liters.
That's amazing.
And aren't her other
numbers good enough
to send her home
instead of rehab?
What if she comes home?
What if she
finally comes home?
Oh, my God. Oh... my... God.
Oh, my God. What if
she finally comes home?
This place is a dump.
She is gonna report
us for child abuse.
What... What? Hang on. Hang...
Look, if you start now,
it's gonna take Ellis
all of five minutes to
undo the whole thing.
How about I go to the hospital,
confirm the good news,
and I'll call you
with an update?
That's a good idea. Good.
Yes. I will see you later.
Oh, God! Oh!
Why aren't you going?
Because you're crying. No, no.
This... This is
gonna happen all day.
Just go, go.
Alright.
Oh, God.
You didn't get my
text. Which one?
The one about Dr. Grey.
Oh. Yeah.
One less person to wheel
to the freezer truck.
Gotta go. Incoming.
Dr. MeredithGrey!
Chief of general
surgery?! Mentor to all?!
Okay, so, you need to teach
me everything you possibly can
before you move back to Italy,
which I'm a little
devastated about
because everyone says
that you are the best OB.
I did quit, but
then I begged Bailey
for my job back this morning.
I am getting married instead.
What? Ha! Yeah.
Congratulations! Grazie mille.
I'm still going back
to Italy, though.
Oh. Yeah. I'm only
going for a month.
I'll help where I can, and...
I'll scatter my brother's ashes
and, um, yeah,
there will be plenty of
rounds when I get back,
but now I need you to
update my patient roster
while I find coffee.
Oh, wait.
I can get you coffee.
No. Cappuccino?
Uh, double espresso,
but no, Dr. Wilson, y...
Just call me Jo.
Jo, you are an attending.
You don't... Not anymore.
Dr. Koracick. Thanks
for meeting us.
Do I know you? Your forehead
and your irises look
familiar. What...
I'm an intern here. James Chee.
He almost quit
after his first day
when you took over the class.
Oh. Right. Not my finest moment.
What do we have here, Chee?
William Lawrence,
a 68-year-old Suquamish
and Duwamish man,
presents with aphasia and
right-sided paralysis.
Hello, sir. What
does a duck say?
Yeah. Just making sure.
Helm, call a stroke alert.
I'll meet you in CT.
Go, go, go, go, go.
I treated him for COVID
a couple months back
at the urban Indian
health clinic I work at
on my time off. We're
not paying you enough?
He made a full recovery, but
about a half an hour ago,
his granddaughter
brought him in like this.
How's he doing? I-I'm
his granddaughter.
You have to save him.
That's the plan. He's
an elder in the tribe.
A language keeper.
Well, that doesn't
change the plan.
Dr. Chee, show
Mr. Lawrence's granddaughter
to the waiting tent.
We'll update you
when we know more.
Come on. Let's go.
So, you're going to fulfill
this new leadership
position from Boston?
I am.
Not here, in Seattle,
where you work?
For me.
My official resignation.
I have to take off first
thing in the morning.
What?! Bailey, I
know it's sudden,
and I apologize.
It's just... It's a
really good thing.
The work I'm gonna
be able to do,
the changes we'll be able to
enact from the foundation...
It's gonna be really
great for all of us.
It would have
been... Been better
if you'd have left me a surgeon
who's double board certified
in plastics and ENT.
Pretty good list of
recommendations there
on the second page. What? Wait.
Why am I the only
one who's surprised?
Did you know about this? I did.
It wasn't my news to share.
I went to see my dad,
who I realized my
entire life has shown me
exactly the kind of
man I never want to be.
Checked out and unwilling to
really fight for anything.
The two of you showed
me the opposite.
Example after example
of not giving in
to hopelessness and despair
and consistently
resist complacency.
You get up over and over
and over again and fight.
I learned the kind of
surgeon, the kind of father,
the kind of person I
wanted to become from you.
I'm always gonna be
grateful for that.
We're proud of you, Avery.
I'm proud of you, son.
Thank you.
Talk to you soon.
To clarify what just happened,
Jackson Avery is now...
Our boss.
I see that Ms. Mora was
discharged this morning.
And Evan Pearson. Wow. He
was only here for three days.
I'm not sure if our meds
are getting more effective
or the trends are changing,
but we're seeing more patients
breeze in and out.
I need more doctors
in order to keep up
with the turnover.
Already took care of it.
Y-You called these guys?
Ouch. No. Sorry.
I just... I-I just
thought that we would grab
a few residents, not
heads of departments.
They said it was
slow downstairs.
Well, if you don't
need us two, then
you know, I could just go back
and check on the ICU or...
No, no. I mean, it's just...
You know, um, it's up to you.
Do... Do you want to be up here?
I just want to help.
Well, it's probably just
gonna be proning patients
and checking vent settings
and inspecting chest tubes,
but, I mean, if you
don't... if you don't mind.
I'm happy to.
So am I. If I'm
still being asked.
Oh, um... Yeah.
Okay, great. Mm-hmm. Thanks.
Was that normal? Are they, uh...
My advice... Don't ask.
You still have laps to do.
I want to talk about
something else.
You're all making me feel as
if I'm going to drop dead.
Not that I blame you.
So, Maggie, uh,
when's the big day?
Oh, you know, we're still
considering our options.
'Cause there's
just a lot to plan.
We don't want to do anything
without his grandma and my dad.
Oh, right, right. Of...
Of course. Mm-hmm.
Wait, have you even met Winston?
Well, apparently, we've been
in the same room together.
- Yes.
- Mm-hmm.
But only on the phone, so...
Pierce locked that down.
Well, so did we.
He signed a five-year contract.
Well, Zola cannot stop
talking about his dance moves,
so I think he's in.
So, what else?
Um...
Jackson's moving to Boston to
run the Fox Foundation.
What about Catherine?
It should be interesting.
It's sad, is what it is.
Okay.
Any other tragedies
I should know about?
Um... well, it'll be tragic
if you have to spend
one more night here.
Yes. Come on. On your feet.
Come on. Let's go.
Chop, chop. Come on.
Ooh.
Have I ever told
you that my days
of wearing ugly bridesmaid dresses
are over?
Who said you were
going to be a bridesmaid?
Uh, looks like he had
an ischemic stroke
on the left side of
his brain due to...
Probably that.
And by that, you
mean the large clot
in his internal carotid artery?
Okay, book an IR suite, please.
Unless you have some
place else to be.
Dr. Sellers...
Dr. Marty Sellers, 4619.
Hey, Luna. Meet your new roomie.
Hey.
Hayes: Vanilla?
Vanelle.
That's your handwriting?
Yeah. I just... Oh. I, uh...
Sorry. I was in a rush.
Great. That's what
we'll tell the parents
when it's wrong on
the birth certificate.
Crap. Give me a pen.
Go. I got it.
Wow.
That's, um...
Yeah.
Well, you're lucky I'm
in pink scrubs today,
so I can take a
little extra sad.
Well, you look good in them.
Happy.
Turns out
you canchange careers
in the middle of a
pandemic, I guess.
Yeah. We're totally normal.
These last couple months, um...
Thank you.
You're thanking me
for all the sex?
I'm thanking
you for being a good friend,
especially when I
really needed one.
Okay.
Also, the sex is worth...
worth a thank you. Yeah.
Well, thank you for
saying goodbye in person
and not in a letter,
and for being...
A bridge. You're
more than a bridge.
You're a friend.
When I feel like I have
fewer and fewer of those.
It's Carina. A patient's
fully dilated and effaced.
Now that you're
a resident again,
I do have some dry
cleaning I need picked up
before I leave town.
Can't hear you. But good
luck saving the world.
Bye.
Whatever happened to
putting in your two weeks?
One day's notice.
You know, Avery should have
to hire his own replacement,
as far as I'm concerned.Yeah.
Any word on Meredith's
morning labs?
Uh, I keep refreshing
my e-mail, and nothing.
Mm-hmm. But I have every
reason to believe that...
Oh. Hello.
Yeah? Oh, the physical
therapy gave clearance.
Just as I suspected.
There's no longer any medical
reason to keep her here.
You can't keep not
telling her, Bailey.
I know. I-I just don't want to.
Meredith's gonna be
clapped out tonight,
and if Andrew DeLuca were alive,
you can bet he'd be the first in
line to cheer her on.
She needs to
know he won't be here.
Mm-hmm.
I'll remove the clot with
a catheter endovascularly
and then place a stent.
Once the blood
flow's been restored,
we're hopeful that his
symptoms will improve, uh,
fairly quickly.
He has teachings, stories
that have been passed down
for hundreds of
years in Lushootseed,
the ancestral language of
our people and this land.
I tried to learn them
as much as I can,
but it's a full-time job, and
I already have one of those.
We can't lose him.
Indigenous communities
have already lost so
many elders to COVID.
We've been hit hard.
The clinic's been packed,
and still doesn't
have enough PPE.
The government was supposed
to send in a shipment, but...
Let me guess... all booties.
Body bags.
I'm... Oh, I'm so sorry.
That's awful.
Tribes in other
parts of the country
with less access to
healthcare and running water
have it worse,
but we believe
we're all connected,
like my Diné friend here.
Mary Ann, I'm gonna look
out for your grandfather.
I'm gonna do everything I can
to make sure he can
pass down his knowledge
to little junior in there.
Thank you so much...
Oh! Mary
Ann, are you okay?
Helm, Chee, get a wheelchair.
She's not due yet. Okay, okay.
Breathe. Breathe. Breathe.
It's alright. [ Groans
I I need my husband!
Okay, Mary Ann,
when's your due date?
In five days.
Any past medical
issues or surgeries?
Okay, Mary Ann, you're
8 centimeters dilated.
You're having this baby today.
T-This can't be
happening right now.
Um, my OB at the
clinic. Dr. Mills.
I-I'm supposed to have
this baby there with her.
It's okay. Dr. Wilson
here will call... Yeah.
And see if she's
available to join us.
Mm-hmm. Yeah. And my parents,
and... and my husband.Everyone.
I will call everybody.
Oh, my grandfather! His surgery.
I'm on my way.
That's one impressive
thrombus right there.
Helm, pop quiz...
What's the normal etiology
of an ischemic stroke?
Hello?! Did that
sound rhetorical?
I, um...
I don't remember.Hmm.
You don't remember, or you
weren't paying attention?
Where do you need me?
Schmitt, step right up.
What's he doing here?
He's taking over for you.
Call me old fashioned,
but I think our patients
deserve surgeons
who can at least
muster the strength
to pretend to want to be here.
Fine.
- Hey.
- Oh, uh, any updates on Mer?
I've been too busy to
check, but I'll ask Teddy.
I miss something?
Nope. No. Um... no.
Where do you keep your...
incentive spirometers?
Okay, what's going on?
Sorry. It's
just the new guy
trying to get the lay
of the land.Mm-hmm.
Alright, I couldn't
help but notice earlier,
you and Altman seemed...
friendlier today.Mm.
So I... But it's
not my business.
It's not my business.
You know, I couldn't
explain it, even if I tried.
Which is fine, you know?
Privacy is in short
supply these days.
I can't wait to get mine back.
As soon as Mer's got
her house under control,
Amelia and I are out of there.
Mm.
What?
Good luck with that.
Incoming. Okay.Yep. Let's go.
That was a big one.
Uh, contractions are
three minutes apart.
They're getting closer together.
It's almost time.
Okay.
The good news is,
is that your husband and
parents are on the way.
The bad news is that Dr. Mills
had an emergent
premature delivery
and won't be able
to make it. Twins.
I was supposed to be with the
same OB that delivered me.
I'm so sorry.
But I promise, we'll take great
care of you and your baby.
Oh. How's my grandfather?
Oh, that's me, too. Got it.
Before
I'm in too much pain
to remember my own
name
do you think you could
save the placenta for me?
Of course.
We're taught to bury
it on Suquamish land,
so she always knows
where her home is.
Mm. That's beautiful.
Deploying the stent.
Is Dr. Helm coming back?
She is not.
So, you... you met
our friend William
at the Indian Health Clinic?
Yes, sir. I volunteer
on my time off.
Mostly primary care visits,
but there's also an apothecary,
so sometimes I'll make
salves for burns and scars
using local plant medicine.
Other times, we use
traditional practices
like prayer and song.
And I do a lot of smudging.
What's that?
Burning sage, right?
Or, uh... tobacco?
Here they use cedar.Mm.
But I'm Navajo,
and we use tobacco.
It's one tradition a lot of tribes
have in common.
Hey.
Any update for Mary Ann?
Oh, just have to shoot one
more angiogram
to make sure the blood
flow has been restored
and he should be good to go.
Great. Okay.
Did we run out of blue scrubs?
Oh, she changed
specialties.
Yeah, but really.
That's really what happened.
She was sick of general.
Dr. Koracick?
Fluoro.
So, you're ditching us?
Well, I mean, in
fairness, I saved you.
So anything after this
is really gonna feel
like a letdown anyway.
Right, because that was all you.
I mean, Altman
kind of helped out.
I think I recall
Bailey and Richard
being there now and then.
But, yeah, I did... I did
the heavy lifting, mostly.
Do you know how cold
it gets in Boston?
Yes, Meredith.
I did spend the first 18
years of my life there.
Well, good luck
finding any racism.
So, what's first on the agenda?
Making sure the girls
are settled in, happy.
And then change the world?
And then change the world.
So... I win.
How's that?
I'm the last man standing.
It was you and me, from
our residency class.
Everyone else has either
abandoned me or died.
We were the only two left.
You think they're giving
out a medal for that?
I could... I could stick
around.
They probably should,
because it sucks.
Yeah.
Did I ever tell
you what I thought
the first time I met you?
Oh, God. Um..."legacy
hire," probably.
Or, "Is he single?" maybe? No.
No. No, no, no, "legacy
hire" is what I...
Is what I meant, yeah.
I thought, "That's a
big name to live up to."
I mean, you would know. Mm.
I honestly can't imagine a time
when the name wasn't ruined.
It isn't ruined.
It took some well-deserved hits,
and you are making it your own.
You're reinventing it.
I'm impressed.
Well, don't give up hope.
There's still plenty of time
for you to make something
of your life, kid.
Okay, now you can go.
I guess this is, uh
the real thing, huh? This is it.
You're not gonna
come to my clap-out?
How do you know
about the clap-out?
Are you new here? No
one can keep a secret.
Oh, God. I mean, I know
it's become a tradition,
but it really feels...
It's a little too much. I know.
Yeah. I mean, I survived,
and so many people
haven't and won't.
And not because I
did anything special.
Just because I'm lucky
and I have the privilege
of great health care.
I should be applauding the
people who took care of me.
This place almost
broke with you sick,
so maybe let them
celebrate a win, huh?
Yeah. It just feels...
I feel you, but none
of them are gonna stop.
They're all gonna be
there. I'll be there.
I just didn't want
that to be our, uh...
I-I didn't want it
to be our goodbye.
I don't want this to
be our big goodbye.
You go give 'em hell, Avery.
Well, thanks for showing me how.
Oh, I can't... I can't do this.
You can. And you will.
Yeah, you're almost there.
Okay, Mary Ann, at
the count of three.
Good.
One, two...
Good.
There she is.
Hello, Rosie.
Okay, Wilson, begin
fundal massage.
Once we cut the cord,
we'll deliver the placenta.
They teach you
that at the clinic?
No. Grew up with it.
I was born into a
family of healers.
Same here.
Only change "healer"
to failed Broadway singer
and substitute math teacher.
Mr. Lawrence,
how are you feeling?
I've been better.
Well, given the day you
had, that's to be expected.
Can you tell Mary Ann I'm okay?
Yeah, as soon as she's settled.
Squeeze my fingers.
Your great-granddaughter
was jealous
of all the fun that
you were having.
She decided to
make an appearance.
She had the baby?
She did. So, get some rest,
and we'll be back
soon and set you up
with the, uh, time-honored
COVID tradition
of meeting new family
members over video chat.
Okay?
You know, Amelia wants
out more than I do.
It's one of the only
things she talks about.
Well, talking about
it and doing it
are two very different things.
Historically speaking at least.
Didn't you and
her share a house?
Yeah, we did, but Meredith's
house... it just has this power.
It's like a magnetic pull.
Karev used to call
it the Sister House,
because no matter
who else lives there,
you're just kind
of in their orbit.
They do have a special bond. Mm.
Okay, you're making
it sound like a coven.
It's just a house. Sure.
It's nice there, man.
It always smells like toasted
waffles in the kitchen,
and the kids are excited when
you walk through the door.
I never had that growing up.
Well, me either. But I
think I've filled my quota.
I miss my house. And my bed.
And my guitar picks.
And quiet. God, I miss quiet.
Well, quiet is overrated.
Hard disagree.
- When Meredith comes back,
there will literally be too
many people in the house.
It'll probably break fire
codes, so we gotta go.
Totally. On your side. Me, too.
And there's a reason
that I got my own place
before I moved here.Hmm.
So that's it?
I'm trapped?
Pretty much.
Oh, I hate this.
I do, too.
But nobody would be happier
for her to go home than DeLuca.
Okay.
What is it?
What? Pleural effusion?
The physical therapist
changed his mind about rehab?
No, no, no. Nothing like that.
Then what is it?
M-Meredith, there is
something we need to tell you.
It's about Andrew.
He's okay.
Meredith... he's not.
He... is with his mother.
Your grandfather is fine.
He is awake and asking to
see his great-granddaughter.
One new life and one saved.Mm.
I told you nothing could
kill that man.
I want to thank both of you.
We... haven't had the
best of experiences
in big hospitals.
Oh, it's our pleasure.
When could he meet
our baby girl?
It should be any time now.
Oh. There you go.
Right. Someone
wants to say hello.
What'd I tell you?
Pretty cute, huh?
She's perfect.
She has your eyes.
And your... feet.
Thank you for that.
- Oh!
- Hi. Hi, Rosie.
I'll be right back.
Dr. DeLuca.
Carina.
Carina. Um
before you go, I just...
I just wanted to say that, um
your brother was
incredibly kind to me.
He was good.
He was noble.
He was sweet.
And he was brave.
And I-I just... I
just want to say that.
I know that you're going
to scatter his ashes.
And I'm so incredibly
grateful to have known him.
Thank you.
And beautiful work today.
What's her name?
Rosie.
After Mom.
Rosie, I'm your scapa.
Your great-grandfather.
This is your mother
and your father.
We are your family.
And you are ours.
You come from the
Coast Salish people.
You are Suquamish.
You come from this land.
Rosie, one day, you will be able
to tell the story of
when you were born.
Of how the world
was experiencing
a time of great difficulty
and devastation.
Grandparents could not even hold
their newborn grandchildren
when they came Earth side.
But it was also a time of
great resilience and change.
And you will be able to tell
them about an abundance of joy
you brought to your
syaye, your family,
upon your arrival, just at
the time we needed it most.
Make sure he has a neuro
check every two hours and...
With all due respect, Helm
is having a tough time.
Mm.It might make her
feel better to help.
Uh... I don't know.
I don't think I know
anything anymore.
Do what you want.
Ooh.
Okay, okay. Okay. Folks,
I know we're excited,
but you're gonna
spoil the surprise.
So let's keep it down
until Perez wheels her out.
Okay?
Okay. Yeah. Okay, here she is.
Get ready, get ready!
Whoo!
- Yeah! Finally!
- Whoa!
- Whoo!
- Whoa!
- Yeah! Yeah!
- Yeah!
Fair. Fair.
What happened?
Uh, Dr. Grey is not in her room,
and all of her things are gone.
Nice one, Grey. Brilliant.
Evening, everybody.
Where the hell is she?
You know, you're
really milking this.
We're supposed to leave the
chairs at the entrance.
This is so much
more fun.
Your chariot.
Oh.
You good?
Take me home.
Thank you.
So Meredith just left?
I guess fanfare's not her thing.
I guess not.
Um... you two have a minute?
Yeah. Of course.
When, uh, I asked you earlier
if you'd chosen a
date for the wedding,
I hope you didn't take
that as me inviting myself,
or trying to take anything
away from your father.
Um, I know the lines
of our relationship
have been blurry,
but I would never
presume anything.
We didn't really want
to do this right now.
Yeah, maybe over coffee.
Or dinner.
Richard, my father is going
to walk me down the aisle.
Of course. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
But he had a really great idea.
We'd like you to
officiate the wedding.
Oh...
Really?
Obviously only if you want to.
We couldn't think of a better
gift for you to give us.
It would be the
honor of my life.
Taryn?
Hey.
I was looking for
you. Are you okay?
You okay?
I used to pretend my, uh,
stuffed animals were sick
and bandage them up.
I never wanted to be a
singer or a super hero.
It was always this.
And now all I think about is
leaving and never coming back.
I don't know what
happened to me.
It was more death than
you thought it would be.
For so long, all
I wanted from Nico
was... more.
And then he asked me
to move in with him,
and I froze.
I might have even
run.
Great story about how
you have a boyfriend.
What I'm saying
is, this pandemic
isn't just affecting people
who get sick and die.
This isolation...
It's making all of us
less ourselves.
Move in with me.
What?
We can be alone together.
You know what I mean.
Sorry.
Why?
And Wilson's gonna
be okay with this?
She is an OB resident.
She'll be
home less than we will.
Bailey! Bailey!
Bailey!
You have been wearing
that shirt since Saturday.
For the love of your family
who has to smell you,
please change it!
Come on. Okay.
Ready?
Okay, let's get this over with.
Mommy!
I didn't think you'd show up.
Yeah, well, I was
in the neighborhood.
I had to drive the getaway car.
What's, uh... What's up?
You know, I heard you were
taking over the foundation,
and I-I called Catherine
to get the details.
I'm impressed.
Okay.
You needed me to
be in a parking lot
for you to say that?
You know, I lost,
uh, six roommates
when I was being
treated for COVID.
Three were husbands and fathers,
one was, uh... one's single,
one was very happily
divorced, and
um... one came and
went so fast, you know,
I didn't... I didn't
even get a name.
And, uh...
I was the only white guy.
I know I'm not exactly
out of the woods,
but I just felt like
I owed it to them
to be better, you know?
Because...
Chaos and i-injustice
and pain and...
The world is only that
way because we let it be.
Or because people who look
like me made it that way.
And... so what I'm
saying, I, uh...
Let me become worthy
of being spared.
I want to be an ally.
I want to spend whatever
time I've got left
making this lousy,
stinking place better.
You know, you can use
me however you want.
I can operate, uh,
administrate...
Hell, I'll even
help you understand
how ignorant white people think.
I'll do anything.
I don't need money. I
don't need a big title.
You don't even have
to stop hating me.
Uh...
Just... I just...
Just let me help.
Monday. 6:00 a.m. Boston.
I'll e-mail you an address.
And, yeah, technically, I
do have space on my jet,
but I really don't
want to be tempted
to fire you before
we land, so...
I'll figure something out.
Good night, Avery.
Thank you.
Well, that happened.
Yeah. Again.
Mm.
What're you thinking right now?
Remember after a
rough day in Iraq,
we would stare at the sky
and we would talk about how
much we missed hamburgers?
Mm-hmm. Vividly.
That's what I want.
I mean, not the
talking about it.
But the actual eating.
Maybe two. Mm-hmm.
Mmm. And French
fries and... Mm-hmm.
And onion rings
and... and maybe...
Maybe a vanilla
milkshake.Yeah. Okay.
Listen, I'm buying, okay? Mm.
Okay. But, uh...
Your mom was Val.
And we loved Val.
And you are Luna.
And you have a family here.
Every time I step into an OR,
I think about your mom.
And you.
Ah, God, Link was
supposed to call
when you were on your way home.
We had signs and hats,
and I swear we were not living
like this most of the time.
Amelia, come sit down.
It's just the way I like it.
You did a great job.
I can never thank you enough.
Okay, I think
she's on her way home!
Uh, hurry and get the
signs and the donuts and...
Is there really donuts?
In the kitchen.
Uh... don't move!
It's not done yet, but
we made this for you.
I love it!
It is so beautiful.
Okay, everybody,
come sit up here.
Let's eat donuts.
You all can tell me
every single thing
that happened while I was gone.
Whoo!
Traditions have never
really been my thing.
But at their best, they
help us remember who we are,
where we're from, and
those who came before us.
They give us something to
pass on to future generations.
'Cause if you don't
know where you're from,
it's kind of hard to
know where you're going.
Unless, of course,
where you're going
is home.

In some residency programs,
graduating surgeons
get a wooden chair,
emblazoned with the
emblem of their program.
Support us and become VIP member
to remove all ads from www.OpenSubtitles.org
When those residents
become attendings,
the chair usually
goes in their office,
where it collects dust for
the rest of their careers.
Relax. And come
off the mouthpiece.
Well, don't just stare
at me. Did I pass?
Not only did you pass,
but your lung capacity is
50% greater than we'd expect.
And your sats are
consistently in the high 90s.
Mer, you killed it.Yeah.
So, as long as your labs check
out, we're kicking you out.
Are you happy?
I am happy. I'm just
not sure I believe you.
We are going to
have this framed.
Well, I am. I'm
having it framed.
You give your program
years of your life,
your sweat, your tears,
and in my case, at
least, your blood,
and your program
gives you a chair.
Oh. Please.
Give me some good
news. Is it happening?
Is it finally happening?
Yeah, looks like it's
finally happening.
Perez, let's get
a clap-out ready.
And you know what?
Keep it quiet.
I want it to be a surprise.
Understood. I know
how to handle a queen.
Ah. Mm.
DeLuca took such
good care of her.
We need to tell
her about DeLuca.
I wish he could see this.
Maybe he can.
I suppose it's a nice tradition,
if you're into
that sort of thing.
And if you want a
constant reminder
of the hell you went
through to get here.
Hey, you okay?
Yeah. Sorry. I just,
uh...
I needed a minute to...
Meredith's going home.
She's going home.
I mean, I haven't had
good news since forever,
and I-I know that we are
still in the thick of things,
but we're finally getting a
handle on how to treat this.
I actually feel hope.
It's about time.
Okay.
I'm ready. Let's go. Okay. Okay.
Oh! Sorry. Sorry.Sorry. Sorry.
Sorry. After you.
Okay. No, ser... Okay.
Oh, my God.
Scout is dressed and
chewing on his plastic cat.
It is a giraffe.
I used to get dressed.
Clothes are overrated.
Says the man leaving for work.
You sure you don't
want to help Ellis
with some finger painting?
No, I'm good with work.
If Nico ever sends me
those post-op scans.
I used to get texts
about post-op scans.
Oh, my God.
What? Oh, my God!
Mer's pulmonary function tests
show a total lung capacity
of almost 4 liters.
That's amazing.
And aren't her other
numbers good enough
to send her home
instead of rehab?
What if she comes home?
What if she
finally comes home?
Oh, my God. Oh... my... God.
Oh, my God. What if
she finally comes home?
This place is a dump.
She is gonna report
us for child abuse.
What... What? Hang on. Hang...
Look, if you start now,
it's gonna take Ellis
all of five minutes to
undo the whole thing.
How about I go to the hospital,
confirm the good news,
and I'll call you
with an update?
That's a good idea. Good.
Yes. I will see you later.
Oh, God! Oh!
Why aren't you going?
Because you're crying. No, no.
This... This is
gonna happen all day.
Just go, go.
Alright.
Oh, God.
You didn't get my
text. Which one?
The one about Dr. Grey.
Oh. Yeah.
One less person to wheel
to the freezer truck.
Gotta go. Incoming.
Dr. MeredithGrey!
Chief of general
surgery?! Mentor to all?!
Okay, so, you need to teach
me everything you possibly can
before you move back to Italy,
which I'm a little
devastated about
because everyone says
that you are the best OB.
I did quit, but
then I begged Bailey
for my job back this morning.
I am getting married instead.
What? Ha! Yeah.
Congratulations! Grazie mille.
I'm still going back
to Italy, though.
Oh. Yeah. I'm only
going for a month.
I'll help where I can, and...
I'll scatter my brother's ashes
and, um, yeah,
there will be plenty of
rounds when I get back,
but now I need you to
update my patient roster
while I find coffee.
Oh, wait.
I can get you coffee.
No. Cappuccino?
Uh, double espresso,
but no, Dr. Wilson, y...
Just call me Jo.
Jo, you are an attending.
You don't... Not anymore.
Dr. Koracick. Thanks
for meeting us.
Do I know you? Your forehead
and your irises look
familiar. What...
I'm an intern here. James Chee.
He almost quit
after his first day
when you took over the class.
Oh. Right. Not my finest moment.
What do we have here, Chee?
William Lawrence,
a 68-year-old Suquamish
and Duwamish man,
presents with aphasia and
right-sided paralysis.
Hello, sir. What
does a duck say?
Yeah. Just making sure.
Helm, call a stroke alert.
I'll meet you in CT.
Go, go, go, go, go.
I treated him for COVID
a couple months back
at the urban Indian
health clinic I work at
on my time off. We're
not paying you enough?
He made a full recovery, but
about a half an hour ago,
his granddaughter
brought him in like this.
How's he doing? I-I'm
his granddaughter.
You have to save him.
That's the plan. He's
an elder in the tribe.
A language keeper.
Well, that doesn't
change the plan.
Dr. Chee, show
Mr. Lawrence's granddaughter
to the waiting tent.
We'll update you
when we know more.
Come on. Let's go.
So, you're going to fulfill
this new leadership
position from Boston?
I am.
Not here, in Seattle,
where you work?
For me.
My official resignation.
I have to take off first
thing in the morning.
What?! Bailey, I
know it's sudden,
and I apologize.
It's just... It's a
really good thing.
The work I'm gonna
be able to do,
the changes we'll be able to
enact from the foundation...
It's gonna be really
great for all of us.
It would have
been... Been better
if you'd have left me a surgeon
who's double board certified
in plastics and ENT.
Pretty good list of
recommendations there
on the second page. What? Wait.
Why am I the only
one who's surprised?
Did you know about this? I did.
It wasn't my news to share.
I went to see my dad,
who I realized my
entire life has shown me
exactly the kind of
man I never want to be.
Checked out and unwilling to
really fight for anything.
The two of you showed
me the opposite.
Example after example
of not giving in
to hopelessness and despair
and consistently
resist complacency.
You get up over and over
and over again and fight.
I learned the kind of
surgeon, the kind of father,
the kind of person I
wanted to become from you.
I'm always gonna be
grateful for that.
We're proud of you, Avery.
I'm proud of you, son.
Thank you.
Talk to you soon.
To clarify what just happened,
Jackson Avery is now...
Our boss.
I see that Ms. Mora was
discharged this morning.
And Evan Pearson. Wow. He
was only here for three days.
I'm not sure if our meds
are getting more effective
or the trends are changing,
but we're seeing more patients
breeze in and out.
I need more doctors
in order to keep up
with the turnover.
Already took care of it.
Y-You called these guys?
Ouch. No. Sorry.
I just... I-I just
thought that we would grab
a few residents, not
heads of departments.
They said it was
slow downstairs.
Well, if you don't
need us two, then
you know, I could just go back
and check on the ICU or...
No, no. I mean, it's just...
You know, um, it's up to you.
Do... Do you want to be up here?
I just want to help.
Well, it's probably just
gonna be proning patients
and checking vent settings
and inspecting chest tubes,
but, I mean, if you
don't... if you don't mind.
I'm happy to.
So am I. If I'm
still being asked.
Oh, um... Yeah.
Okay, great. Mm-hmm. Thanks.
Was that normal? Are they, uh...
My advice... Don't ask.
You still have laps to do.
I want to talk about
something else.
You're all making me feel as
if I'm going to drop dead.
Not that I blame you.
So, Maggie, uh,
when's the big day?
Oh, you know, we're still
considering our options.
'Cause there's
just a lot to plan.
We don't want to do anything
without his grandma and my dad.
Oh, right, right. Of...
Of course. Mm-hmm.
Wait, have you even met Winston?
Well, apparently, we've been
in the same room together.
- Yes.
- Mm-hmm.
But only on the phone, so...
Pierce locked that down.
Well, so did we.
He signed a five-year contract.
Well, Zola cannot stop
talking about his dance moves,
so I think he's in.
So, what else?
Um...
Jackson's moving to Boston to
run the Fox Foundation.
What about Catherine?
It should be interesting.
It's sad, is what it is.
Okay.
Any other tragedies
I should know about?
Um... well, it'll be tragic
if you have to spend
one more night here.
Yes. Come on. On your feet.
Come on. Let's go.
Chop, chop. Come on.
Ooh.
Have I ever told
you that my days
of wearing ugly bridesmaid dresses
are over?
Who said you were
going to be a bridesmaid?
Uh, looks like he had
an ischemic stroke
on the left side of
his brain due to...
Probably that.
And by that, you
mean the large clot
in his internal carotid artery?
Okay, book an IR suite, please.
Unless you have some
place else to be.
Dr. Sellers...
Dr. Marty Sellers, 4619.
Hey, Luna. Meet your new roomie.
Hey.
Hayes: Vanilla?
Vanelle.
That's your handwriting?
Yeah. I just... Oh. I, uh...
Sorry. I was in a rush.
Great. That's what
we'll tell the parents
when it's wrong on
the birth certificate.
Crap. Give me a pen.
Go. I got it.
Wow.
That's, um...
Yeah.
Well, you're lucky I'm
in pink scrubs today,
so I can take a
little extra sad.
Well, you look good in them.
Happy.
Turns out
you canchange careers
in the middle of a
pandemic, I guess.
Yeah. We're totally normal.
These last couple months, um...
Thank you.
You're thanking me
for all the sex?
I'm thanking
you for being a good friend,
especially when I
really needed one.
Okay.
Also, the sex is worth...
worth a thank you. Yeah.
Well, thank you for
saying goodbye in person
and not in a letter,
and for being...
A bridge. You're
more than a bridge.
You're a friend.
When I feel like I have
fewer and fewer of those.
It's Carina. A patient's
fully dilated and effaced.
Now that you're
a resident again,
I do have some dry
cleaning I need picked up
before I leave town.
Can't hear you. But good
luck saving the world.
Bye.
Whatever happened to
putting in your two weeks?
One day's notice.
You know, Avery should have
to hire his own replacement,
as far as I'm concerned.Yeah.
Any word on Meredith's
morning labs?
Uh, I keep refreshing
my e-mail, and nothing.
Mm-hmm. But I have every
reason to believe that...
Oh. Hello.
Yeah? Oh, the physical
therapy gave clearance.
Just as I suspected.
There's no longer any medical
reason to keep her here.
You can't keep not
telling her, Bailey.
I know. I-I just don't want to.
Meredith's gonna be
clapped out tonight,
and if Andrew DeLuca were alive,
you can bet he'd be the first in
line to cheer her on.
She needs to
know he won't be here.
Mm-hmm.
I'll remove the clot with
a catheter endovascularly
and then place a stent.
Once the blood
flow's been restored,
we're hopeful that his
symptoms will improve, uh,
fairly quickly.
He has teachings, stories
that have been passed down
for hundreds of
years in Lushootseed,
the ancestral language of
our people and this land.
I tried to learn them
as much as I can,
but it's a full-time job, and
I already have one of those.
We can't lose him.
Indigenous communities
have already lost so
many elders to COVID.
We've been hit hard.
The clinic's been packed,
and still doesn't
have enough PPE.
The government was supposed
to send in a shipment, but...
Let me guess... all booties.
Body bags.
I'm... Oh, I'm so sorry.
That's awful.
Tribes in other
parts of the country
with less access to
healthcare and running water
have it worse,
but we believe
we're all connected,
like my Diné friend here.
Mary Ann, I'm gonna look
out for your grandfather.
I'm gonna do everything I can
to make sure he can
pass down his knowledge
to little junior in there.
Thank you so much...
Oh! Mary
Ann, are you okay?
Helm, Chee, get a wheelchair.
She's not due yet. Okay, okay.
Breathe. Breathe. Breathe.
It's alright. [ Groans
I I need my husband!
Okay, Mary Ann,
when's your due date?
In five days.
Any past medical
issues or surgeries?
Okay, Mary Ann, you're
8 centimeters dilated.
You're having this baby today.
T-This can't be
happening right now.
Um, my OB at the
clinic. Dr. Mills.
I-I'm supposed to have
this baby there with her.
It's okay. Dr. Wilson
here will call... Yeah.
And see if she's
available to join us.
Mm-hmm. Yeah. And my parents,
and... and my husband.Everyone.
I will call everybody.
Oh, my grandfather! His surgery.
I'm on my way.
That's one impressive
thrombus right there.
Helm, pop quiz...
What's the normal etiology
of an ischemic stroke?
Hello?! Did that
sound rhetorical?
I, um...
I don't remember.Hmm.
You don't remember, or you
weren't paying attention?
Where do you need me?
Schmitt, step right up.
What's he doing here?
He's taking over for you.
Call me old fashioned,
but I think our patients
deserve surgeons
who can at least
muster the strength
to pretend to want to be here.
Fine.
- Hey.
- Oh, uh, any updates on Mer?
I've been too busy to
check, but I'll ask Teddy.
I miss something?
Nope. No. Um... no.
Where do you keep your...
incentive spirometers?
Okay, what's going on?
Sorry. It's
just the new guy
trying to get the lay
of the land.Mm-hmm.
Alright, I couldn't
help but notice earlier,
you and Altman seemed...
friendlier today.Mm.
So I... But it's
not my business.
It's not my business.
You know, I couldn't
explain it, even if I tried.
Which is fine, you know?
Privacy is in short
supply these days.
I can't wait to get mine back.
As soon as Mer's got
her house under control,
Amelia and I are out of there.
Mm.
What?
Good luck with that.
Incoming. Okay.Yep. Let's go.
That was a big one.
Uh, contractions are
three minutes apart.
They're getting closer together.
It's almost time.
Okay.
The good news is,
is that your husband and
parents are on the way.
The bad news is that Dr. Mills
had an emergent
premature delivery
and won't be able
to make it. Twins.
I was supposed to be with the
same OB that delivered me.
I'm so sorry.
But I promise, we'll take great
care of you and your baby.
Oh. How's my grandfather?
Oh, that's me, too. Got it.
Before
I'm in too much pain
to remember my own
name
do you think you could
save the placenta for me?
Of course.
We're taught to bury
it on Suquamish land,
so she always knows
where her home is.
Mm. That's beautiful.
Deploying the stent.
Is Dr. Helm coming back?
She is not.
So, you... you met
our friend William
at the Indian Health Clinic?
Yes, sir. I volunteer
on my time off.
Mostly primary care visits,
but there's also an apothecary,
so sometimes I'll make
salves for burns and scars
using local plant medicine.
Other times, we use
traditional practices
like prayer and song.
And I do a lot of smudging.
What's that?
Burning sage, right?
Or, uh... tobacco?
Here they use cedar.Mm.
But I'm Navajo,
and we use tobacco.
It's one tradition a lot of tribes
have in common.
Hey.
Any update for Mary Ann?
Oh, just have to shoot one
more angiogram
to make sure the blood
flow has been restored
and he should be good to go.
Great. Okay.
Did we run out of blue scrubs?
Oh, she changed
specialties.
Yeah, but really.
That's really what happened.
She was sick of general.
Dr. Koracick?
Fluoro.
So, you're ditching us?
Well, I mean, in
fairness, I saved you.
So anything after this
is really gonna feel
like a letdown anyway.
Right, because that was all you.
I mean, Altman
kind of helped out.
I think I recall
Bailey and Richard
being there now and then.
But, yeah, I did... I did
the heavy lifting, mostly.
Do you know how cold
it gets in Boston?
Yes, Meredith.
I did spend the first 18
years of my life there.
Well, good luck
finding any racism.
So, what's first on the agenda?
Making sure the girls
are settled in, happy.
And then change the world?
And then change the world.
So... I win.
How's that?
I'm the last man standing.
It was you and me, from
our residency class.
Everyone else has either
abandoned me or died.
We were the only two left.
You think they're giving
out a medal for that?
I could... I could stick
around.
They probably should,
because it sucks.
Yeah.
Did I ever tell
you what I thought
the first time I met you?
Oh, God. Um..."legacy
hire," probably.
Or, "Is he single?" maybe? No.
No. No, no, no, "legacy
hire" is what I...
Is what I meant, yeah.
I thought, "That's a
big name to live up to."
I mean, you would know. Mm.
I honestly can't imagine a time
when the name wasn't ruined.
It isn't ruined.
It took some well-deserved hits,
and you are making it your own.
You're reinventing it.
I'm impressed.
Well, don't give up hope.
There's still plenty of time
for you to make something
of your life, kid.
Okay, now you can go.
I guess this is, uh
the real thing, huh? This is it.
You're not gonna
come to my clap-out?
How do you know
about the clap-out?
Are you new here? No
one can keep a secret.
Oh, God. I mean, I know
it's become a tradition,
but it really feels...
It's a little too much. I know.
Yeah. I mean, I survived,
and so many people
haven't and won't.
And not because I
did anything special.
Just because I'm lucky
and I have the privilege
of great health care.
I should be applauding the
people who took care of me.
This place almost
broke with you sick,
so maybe let them
celebrate a win, huh?
Yeah. It just feels...
I feel you, but none
of them are gonna stop.
They're all gonna be
there. I'll be there.
I just didn't want
that to be our, uh...
I-I didn't want it
to be our goodbye.
I don't want this to
be our big goodbye.
You go give 'em hell, Avery.
Well, thanks for showing me how.
Oh, I can't... I can't do this.
You can. And you will.
Yeah, you're almost there.
Okay, Mary Ann, at
the count of three.
Good.
One, two...
Good.
There she is.
Hello, Rosie.
Okay, Wilson, begin
fundal massage.
Once we cut the cord,
we'll deliver the placenta.
They teach you
that at the clinic?
No. Grew up with it.
I was born into a
family of healers.
Same here.
Only change "healer"
to failed Broadway singer
and substitute math teacher.
Mr. Lawrence,
how are you feeling?
I've been better.
Well, given the day you
had, that's to be expected.
Can you tell Mary Ann I'm okay?
Yeah, as soon as she's settled.
Squeeze my fingers.
Your great-granddaughter
was jealous
of all the fun that
you were having.
She decided to
make an appearance.
She had the baby?
She did. So, get some rest,
and we'll be back
soon and set you up
with the, uh, time-honored
COVID tradition
of meeting new family
members over video chat.
Okay?
You know, Amelia wants
out more than I do.
It's one of the only
things she talks about.
Well, talking about
it and doing it
are two very different things.
Historically speaking at least.
Didn't you and
her share a house?
Yeah, we did, but Meredith's
house... it just has this power.
It's like a magnetic pull.
Karev used to call
it the Sister House,
because no matter
who else lives there,
you're just kind
of in their orbit.
They do have a special bond. Mm.
Okay, you're making
it sound like a coven.
It's just a house. Sure.
It's nice there, man.
It always smells like toasted
waffles in the kitchen,
and the kids are excited when
you walk through the door.
I never had that growing up.
Well, me either. But I
think I've filled my quota.
I miss my house. And my bed.
And my guitar picks.
And quiet. God, I miss quiet.
Well, quiet is overrated.
Hard disagree.
- When Meredith comes back,
there will literally be too
many people in the house.
It'll probably break fire
codes, so we gotta go.
Totally. On your side. Me, too.
And there's a reason
that I got my own place
before I moved here.Hmm.
So that's it?
I'm trapped?
Pretty much.
Oh, I hate this.
I do, too.
But nobody would be happier
for her to go home than DeLuca.
Okay.
What is it?
What? Pleural effusion?
The physical therapist
changed his mind about rehab?
No, no, no. Nothing like that.
Then what is it?
M-Meredith, there is
something we need to tell you.
It's about Andrew.
He's okay.
Meredith... he's not.
He... is with his mother.
Your grandfather is fine.
He is awake and asking to
see his great-granddaughter.
One new life and one saved.Mm.
I told you nothing could
kill that man.
I want to thank both of you.
We... haven't had the
best of experiences
in big hospitals.
Oh, it's our pleasure.
When could he meet
our baby girl?
It should be any time now.
Oh. There you go.
Right. Someone
wants to say hello.
What'd I tell you?
Pretty cute, huh?
She's perfect.
She has your eyes.
And your... feet.
Thank you for that.
- Oh!
- Hi. Hi, Rosie.
I'll be right back.
Dr. DeLuca.
Carina.
Carina. Um
before you go, I just...
I just wanted to say that, um
your brother was
incredibly kind to me.
He was good.
He was noble.
He was sweet.
And he was brave.
And I-I just... I
just want to say that.
I know that you're going
to scatter his ashes.
And I'm so incredibly
grateful to have known him.
Thank you.
And beautiful work today.
What's her name?
Rosie.
After Mom.
Rosie, I'm your scapa.
Your great-grandfather.
This is your mother
and your father.
We are your family.
And you are ours.
You come from the
Coast Salish people.
You are Suquamish.
You come from this land.
Rosie, one day, you will be able
to tell the story of
when you were born.
Of how the world
was experiencing
a time of great difficulty
and devastation.
Grandparents could not even hold
their newborn grandchildren
when they came Earth side.
But it was also a time of
great resilience and change.
And you will be able to tell
them about an abundance of joy
you brought to your
syaye, your family,
upon your arrival, just at
the time we needed it most.
Make sure he has a neuro
check every two hours and...
With all due respect, Helm
is having a tough time.
Mm.It might make her
feel better to help.
Uh... I don't know.
I don't think I know
anything anymore.
Do what you want.
Ooh.
Okay, okay. Okay. Folks,
I know we're excited,
but you're gonna
spoil the surprise.
So let's keep it down
until Perez wheels her out.
Okay?
Okay. Yeah. Okay, here she is.
Get ready, get ready!
Whoo!
- Yeah! Finally!
- Whoa!
- Whoo!
- Whoa!
- Yeah! Yeah!
- Yeah!
Fair. Fair.
What happened?
Uh, Dr. Grey is not in her room,
and all of her things are gone.
Nice one, Grey. Brilliant.
Evening, everybody.
Where the hell is she?
You know, you're
really milking this.
We're supposed to leave the
chairs at the entrance.
This is so much
more fun.
Your chariot.
Oh.
You good?
Take me home.
Thank you.
So Meredith just left?
I guess fanfare's not her thing.
I guess not.
Um... you two have a minute?
Yeah. Of course.
When, uh, I asked you earlier
if you'd chosen a
date for the wedding,
I hope you didn't take
that as me inviting myself,
or trying to take anything
away from your father.
Um, I know the lines
of our relationship
have been blurry,
but I would never
presume anything.
We didn't really want
to do this right now.
Yeah, maybe over coffee.
Or dinner.
Richard, my father is going
to walk me down the aisle.
Of course. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
But he had a really great idea.
We'd like you to
officiate the wedding.
Oh...
Really?
Obviously only if you want to.
We couldn't think of a better
gift for you to give us.
It would be the
honor of my life.
Taryn?
Hey.
I was looking for
you. Are you okay?
You okay?
I used to pretend my, uh,
stuffed animals were sick
and bandage them up.
I never wanted to be a
singer or a super hero.
It was always this.
And now all I think about is
leaving and never coming back.
I don't know what
happened to me.
It was more death than
you thought it would be.
For so long, all
I wanted from Nico
was... more.
And then he asked me
to move in with him,
and I froze.
I might have even
run.
Great story about how
you have a boyfriend.
What I'm saying
is, this pandemic
isn't just affecting people
who get sick and die.
This isolation...
It's making all of us
less ourselves.
Move in with me.
What?
We can be alone together.
You know what I mean.
Sorry.
Why?
And Wilson's gonna
be okay with this?
She is an OB resident.
She'll be
home less than we will.
Bailey! Bailey!
Bailey!
You have been wearing
that shirt since Saturday.
For the love of your family
who has to smell you,
please change it!
Come on. Okay.
Ready?
Okay, let's get this over with.
Mommy!
I didn't think you'd show up.
Yeah, well, I was
in the neighborhood.
I had to drive the getaway car.
What's, uh... What's up?
You know, I heard you were
taking over the foundation,
and I-I called Catherine
to get the details.
I'm impressed.
Okay.
You needed me to
be in a parking lot
for you to say that?
You know, I lost,
uh, six roommates
when I was being
treated for COVID.
Three were husbands and fathers,
one was, uh... one's single,
one was very happily
divorced, and
um... one came and
went so fast, you know,
I didn't... I didn't
even get a name.
And, uh...
I was the only white guy.
I know I'm not exactly
out of the woods,
but I just felt like
I owed it to them
to be better, you know?
Because...
Chaos and i-injustice
and pain and...
The world is only that
way because we let it be.
Or because people who look
like me made it that way.
And... so what I'm
saying, I, uh...
Let me become worthy
of being spared.
I want to be an ally.
I want to spend whatever
time I've got left
making this lousy,
stinking place better.
You know, you can use
me however you want.
I can operate, uh,
administrate...
Hell, I'll even
help you understand
how ignorant white people think.
I'll do anything.
I don't need money. I
don't need a big title.
You don't even have
to stop hating me.
Uh...
Just... I just...
Just let me help.
Monday. 6:00 a.m. Boston.
I'll e-mail you an address.
And, yeah, technically, I
do have space on my jet,
but I really don't
want to be tempted
to fire you before
we land, so...
I'll figure something out.
Good night, Avery.
Thank you.
Well, that happened.
Yeah. Again.
Mm.
What're you thinking right now?
Remember after a
rough day in Iraq,
we would stare at the sky
and we would talk about how
much we missed hamburgers?
Mm-hmm. Vividly.
That's what I want.
I mean, not the
talking about it.
But the actual eating.
Maybe two. Mm-hmm.
Mmm. And French
fries and... Mm-hmm.
And onion rings
and... and maybe...
Maybe a vanilla
milkshake.Yeah. Okay.
Listen, I'm buying, okay? Mm.
Okay. But, uh...
Your mom was Val.
And we loved Val.
And you are Luna.
And you have a family here.
Every time I step into an OR,
I think about your mom.
And you.
Ah, God, Link was
supposed to call
when you were on your way home.
We had signs and hats,
and I swear we were not living
like this most of the time.
Amelia, come sit down.
It's just the way I like it.
You did a great job.
I can never thank you enough.
Okay, I think
she's on her way home!
Uh, hurry and get the
signs and the donuts and...
Is there really donuts?
In the kitchen.
Uh... don't move!
It's not done yet, but
we made this for you.
I love it!
It is so beautiful.
Okay, everybody,
come sit up here.
Let's eat donuts.
You all can tell me
every single thing
that happened while I was gone.
Whoo!
Traditions have never
really been my thing.
But at their best, they
help us remember who we are,
where we're from, and
those who came before us.
They give us something to
pass on to future generations.
'Cause if you don't
know where you're from,
it's kind of hard to
know where you're going.
Unless, of course,
where you're going
is home.
