Grey's Anatomy (2005–…): Season 2, Episode 22 - The Name of the Game - full transcript

Previously
on "grey's anatomy"...

i told thatch i'm leaving him.

You left thatcher, ellis.

If you could just hold...

i'm in the middle
of my workday, thatch.

Thatch?

I look like meredith's dad?

Why didn't you stay
and fight for us?

Why didn't you try harder?

I just saw my father for
the first time in 20 years.

I slept with george.



Can we please just go back
to everything the way it was?

I don't know how to go back.

At some point, you are going to
have to talk to me.

Want to see something
really cool?

nice!

A good basketball game

can have us all
on the edge of our seats.

Games are all about the glory,
the pain and the play-by-play.

And then there are
the more solitary games...

dude...

is she knitting?

The games we each play
all by ourselves.

you know, as a...
as a friend,

i gotta tell you,
you look a little weird.



I am making a sweater.

You're knitting...
in a bar.

You can't knit in a bar.
You're scaring the customers.

Come on. Have a drink.

I can't have a drink.
I'm celibate.

You mean sober?
She means sober.

No, celibate.

I'm practicing celibacy,

and drinking does not go well
with celibacy

because it makes everything
and everyone

seem kind of porn-y,

and then my head gets
all cloudy,

and then the next thing
you know, i'm naked.

And my point is,
i'm celibate,

and knitting is good
for surgical dexterity,

so i'm making a sweater.

You celibate?
I just don't buy it.

No more men.

No more men, really?

You? And i'm asking
because we are friends.

Every guy i meet
turns out to be married...

ooh, ouch.
Sorry.

Or mark...

okay, i'm gonna go
over there now.

Sorry.

Or remember the horrible thing
i did? Remember george?

you're making a sweater.

I am making a sweater.

The social games,
the mind games...

we use them to pass the time,
to make life more interesting,

to distract us
from what's really going on.

He's not george anymore.
He's broken george.

First he chopsff his hair,

then he starts hanging out
with this callie.

That is not a name... callie.
Who is she anyway?

I'm his best friend.

Not that
he talks to me anymore.

Triple word score.
69 points.

Woman, i'm beating
the pants off you.

Pay attention.
What the hell are you doin'?

I'm knitting a sweater.

Actually, meredith...
that's my friend,

the friend that broke george...
she is knitting a sweater.

She's not really
knitting a sweater

because she cannot knit.

But i want her to think
she is knitting a sweater

because she and i took
a celibacy vow

so she's replacing sex
with knitting,

and so i am knitting pieces
of meredith's sweater

so that i can
switch them out with hers

so that she can really believe
she is knitting.

'Cause if anybody needs
to be celibate, it's meredith

'cause she broke george,
you know?

You took a vow of celibacy?

Yes.

How am i supposed to get
in your pants

if you took
a vow of celibacy?

That is a very inappropriate
thing to say to your doctor.

Oh, you know
what's inappropriate?

Promising sexual favors
to a patient

in order to get him to live
and then backing out.

Dennyduquette, i so never,
ever promised...

in my head, you did.

In my head, you delivered.

Well...

but don't worry.

You weren't very good.

okay.

You know what?
I was being nice.

I was letting you win

because you're "mr. Sick
needs a new organ guy,"

but just for that comment,

i'm gonna kick your ass.

Yeah, i'm gonna...
you put down "mount," denny?

There are those of us
who love to play games...

okay, uh...
any game.

And then there a
those of us

who love to play...

nice!
A little too much.

Disastrous fema director.

poo is...

brown. Poo is brown.
Michael brown!

Yes!
Time! Time!

yeah, thank you.
Impressive, o'malley.

thanks.
"Poo is?"

Apparently we think alike.

Wow. I can't believe
you're proud of that.

Hey, are you supposed to open
the papers ahead of time?

Hey!

It's called strategy.
Cristina, it's a game.

I know that.

Well, you just seem
a little intense.

We're just trying to have
some fun.

I'm having fun.

Let's do this.

Okay.
Are you ready?

Mm-hmm.
Go!

Blonde ambition tour.

Blonde ambition tour.

"Vogue."

Oh, are you kidding...
okay, she's blonde.

She's a blonde,
she's ambitious.

She's ambitious and... and with
the tour and the vogueing

and... honey, look at me.
Okay, i am... shut up!

Cones, cones.
Uh, blonde ambition.

Boob cones and... and vogueing.
Honey, vogueing.

Sean penn! Sean penn!
Time!

Zero points for madonna.

Oh! Madonna. Right.

Who doesn't know madonna?

sore loser.

I am not a sore loser.

You know,
and so what if i am?

See, the whole point of games
is that there is a winner,

a first place.

You want a second best surgeon
operating on you? No.

You want the very best.

And second best is mediocre.

And to settle for mediocrity
is... is...

it's frankly, you know,
a sign of self-loathing

and substandard work ethics.

i've gotta get george
out of my apartment.

You know,
you could sleep with him,

and then right in the middle,
start crying.

It's painful and humiliating

and unbelievably cruel,
but apparently,

it works.

Would you just keep knitting?

Kick him out so that he can
come back home to us.

No, l-i can't kick him out.
He's burke's puppy.

It's gotta be burke's idea.

I just gotta figure out
a way to make him do it.

Got a lot
of metastatic disease here.

How do we proceed?

Definitely excise the endobronchial mets
for symptomatic palliation.

You've been doing
your homework, karev.

A lot of late nights.

Look at this.

The mets have adhered
to her chest wall.

Dude, she's toast.

Don't you think that's a little
insensitive,dr. Karev?

She can't hear me.

You don't know that.

Bedside manner
is part of the job, karev.

Late nights
won't get you anywhere

if you can't figure that out.

Thank you.
Good morning.

Hey, you goin' into surgery
ocomin' out?

Goin' in. I had to
push it back. C's sick.

Doc's sick?
What are his symptoms?

Polydipsia, lethargy
and vomiting.

Any sign of fever or dehydration?

Uh, it's unclear.

I was considering running a course of
i.v. Antibiotics and a saline drip.

Seriously?

No, addison, he's a dog.

I dropped him off at the vet.

They're gonna run some tests
and observe him overnight.

Meredith will
check on him tonight.

I gotta run. I got a transfer
in from mercy west.

Will you wait for me
to go home?

Yeah.

Today we'll be covering...

yes.

Cristina yang,
first year surgical intern.

I'm just wondering
if wre going to be covering

both intra and extracorporeal
knots today in the seminar.

We'll be training
in all aspects

of laparoscopic
general surgery.

Starting with basic
instrumentation

and camera operation...
dr. Yang.

Chief.
We'll move through
several complex procedures,

including tissue approximation.

The suggested task time
for bead transfer is...

you're taking the class?

It's a good refresher course.
Should be fun.

And 240 seconds for dominant
to nondominate transfer.

Good. Yeah.

Now who would like to volunteer
for our first...

dr. Yang.

Molly thompson, 22 years old,
32 weeks pregnant.

Transferred here
from mercy west

when an ultrasound diagnosed
the baby

with congenital
diaphragmatic hernia.

Hello, molly.
I'm dr. Addison shepherd.

You're supposed to be
the best.

And not to put any pressure
on you or anything,

but this is my baby
carrying my grandchild,

so i really hope
that you are.

The best, i mean.

Mom, you're kind of
threatening the doctor.

Don't threaten the doctor.
It doesn't help.

Sorry.

My husband tells me
i have to try

not to be
such a mother lion

because molly's a grown woman

and has her own life
and everything,

but... roar.

it's okay.
I can take it.

I am the best.

You can fix this,
though, right?

We'll insert a scope
into your uterus

and then inflate
a little balloon

in the baby's airway,

which should help stimulate
the lungs to grow.

It's not gonna be easy
on either of you,

but i do have a strong record
with this surgery.

Make sure you get her
to the m.r.i.

And get me the results
as soon as you can.

I will.

Sir, can i help you
find something?

Uh... is...

is there a dr. Meredith grey
working today?

Yes.

Sh-she's here
in the hospital right now?

I can have someone page her
for you if you want me to.

No. No. That's...

thank you.

Wait. Excuse me. Sir?

Are... are you...
what's your name?

Thatcher.

You're...

grey, yeah.

You're meredith's father.

Yeah.

Are you sure you don't
want me to page her for you?

No. I'm sorry.
It's complicated.

Thatcher, honey.

We're right here.
Oh.

Oh, there you are, susan.

Did you tell him?
I roared a little.

I couldn't help it.

Oh. Oh, well,
i knew you would.

i'm sorry.
I'm dr. O'malley.

I'm, uh, o'mall...

l... well, excuse us.

Uh, we're gonna check
on our daughter.

ah, dr. Bailey!
Do you have an extra intern?

I'm available.

No, no, no, no.
I said "intern."

Shepherd, look at the board.

Okay. What am i lookin' at?

My name isn't up there.

It wasn't up there yesterday
and it won't be tomorrow.

What'd you do,
piss off the chief?

Yeah, i pissed off the chief.

I went and had a baby.
I gave birth.

I created a human life.

I'm a surgeon.
We don't do that.

He's mommy-trackin' me.

He's just goin' easy
on you.

No. I change diapers,
l-i clean spit up,

i sing the a-b-cs...
i'm covered in mommy.

But that does not mean
i will be mommy-tracked.

You're freaking out.

I just need a surgery.
I need a surgery now.

So for today,
i'm your intern.

i have not begun
to freak out.

All right, come on.

Cristina told me that george
had a date with ortho chick.

Games night. She didn't even
take him home afterwards.

She hinted that she wanted to
and then said she couldn't.

That's weird, right?

George made it perfectly clear

that i am not
in his life anymore.

You think ortho chick
is hiding something?

She could be hiding something.

Stevens... hold this.

George mentioned
you're not big on ortho.

Grey, take the osteotome
and the mallet.

Follow me.

ms. Carver,
unfortunately we found

that the cancer has metastasized
to your chest wall.

We took out a small tumor
obstructing your airway,

which will help
with your breathing, but...

it's not a cure.

So this is
the end of the line?

That's what you're saying?

This is it, i die now?

Beatrice...
i want you to go back in.

I want you to cut out
everything that you can...

as much as you can.

I want as much time as you
can give me, you understand?

Well, unfortunately,
any additional surgery is...

excuse me.

Mom, i'm not eating any of
that crap in the cafeteria.

I mean, we're gonna have to
order in thai food or something

because i'm starving
and the food here blows.

I'll have the nurse
bring a menu by

and we can have
a picnic in bed.

God, mom. How many doctors
do you have?

They were just leaving.

(man) after trailing by 10
at the half,

the offense stepped up,
leading a 13-0 run

to begin a seesaw battle
up to the end.

In five to ten years,

cutting as we know it
will be virtually obsolete.

Very nice, dr. Yang.

Thank you, sir.

A little less tension there,
chief.

Watch your grip.
There you go.

I wasn't copying you.

Of course not, sir.

Done! I'm done.
I totally finished first.

I'm done.

So, dr. Torres...
hold it steady, grey.

Did you always know you wanted
to specialize in orthopedics?

Did you always know
you wanted to model?

Oh. Okay.

Grey, i mean it.
Watch your grip.

And your husband,
is he a doctor, too?

what are you trying
to ask me, dr. Stevens,

my history, my marital status,
my deep, dark little secrets?

I'm george's best friend.

Oh, i see.
Well, it's just funny.

'Cause from what i understand,
as his best friend,

you haven't been
the best matchmaker in the past.

Hi.

Hey.

Your hair is growing out,
which is nice.

I still think you should cut it.
I could cut it for you...

if we still lived together.

Or we could just hang out
and talk about... stuff,

like your new friend...

callie.

She's, uh...
she's very, um...

you know, if you like her,
i will like her...

eventually.

I can't escape her.

What?

All i want to do
is forget her,

all i want to do
is just escape her,

and, you know, i can't.

You want to escape callie?

Oh, thank god.

'Cause she is, like,
a total freak,

and i was starting to get
really worried about you.

Not callie.

Sorry.

.

Who? Or, oh...

meredith again.

I'm gonna
tell you something,

and the minute i tell you
what i'm about to tell you,

this officially becomes
your problem, not mine.

Okay.

Meredith has a sister.

How are we doing?

I turned the skull flap.
Patient's sedated.

very nice.

Nicely done.

He... he's a kid.

Yes.

I just didn't think
it would be a kid.

A tumor that size...
well, what happens now?

Now we wake him up.

We're doing
awake brain surgery on him?

Yes. Thank you.

Andrew.

A little more.

Andrew, can you hear me?

Hey. Want to count
for me?

One...

good, keep going.

(derek) since the tumor
is located

near the language center
of the brain,

it's important
that we don't damage it.

Andrew, i need you
to keep talking.

Can you do that?
can you talk to me?

L-i'll try.

Okay, great.
Now what grade are you in?

Um... seventh.

You into sports?

Not really.

How about baseball?

Um... baseball's a sport.

Right.

Okay.
What about, uh, girls?

Do you have any girlfriends?

No.

Um... you probably
don't have time

for girlfriends
right, andrew?

Probably too busy, right?

Y-yes, ma'am.

Uh, what are you busy doing?

Um... getting ready
for the national spelling bee.

I won the greater regionals
last month.

Oh, well, in that case,

you need to spell
some words for us.

Uh, can you do that?

Sure.

Uh, good. Uh...

you usually provide
the word, dr. Bailey.

I don't hear you
coming up with one.

Uh, let's see.

All right, uh,
acetaminophen.

Acetaminophen.

Origin of the word?

Heck if i know.

Hey, do you have
molly's m.r.i. Results?

No. I-i haven't...
not yet.

What the hell
have you been doing then?

I was just gonna...

when i assign you
to a case of mine,

i expect you to give it your
full and undivided attention.

Give me one good reason

why l-i shouldn't
take you off this case.

Molly thompson's maiden name
is grey.

Her father is thatcher grey.

Thatcher grey is also
meredith's father,

which means that molly
and meredith are sisters,

but i don't think meredith
even knows molly exists.

And i don't care.
I don't.

Except i'm on this case
and...

apparently, god hates me.

Okay.

Okay, thanks.

I want all this out now.

I'm getting out
of the hospital.

Oh, we can't, beatrice.
You just had major surgery.

Tomorrow is
my daughter's birthday.

Apparently it's the last one
i get to celebrate,

and i'm not spending it
in here.

Okay, i'm so sorry,
but if we remove this tube,

your lung will collapse.

I'm sure you don't want
to spend

your daughter's birthday
this way, okay?

M a quick healer.

I'm breathing better
since the surgery.

That is because we removed
some of the tumor

to open up your airway.

That doesn't mean that you
are well, all right?

If you try to leave, you are
at risk of infection

or hemorrhaging.

Your kid doesn't even know
you have cancer.

You really want to risk
dropping dead on the street

outside the hospital?

Dr. Karev...

so you thought scaring her
back into bed

was the way to go?

It worked, didn't it?
She's lying to her kid.

She's frightened.
She's in shock

it is not your job
or your place

to take a tone like that
with a patient, not ever.

Are we understood?

Yes, sir.

so what are the sister
and the father like?

Like?

They're like people
meredith is related to

and never met.

They're nice.
Can you imagine...

a sister, a whole family
you know nothing about?

You think she's gonna
freak out?

It's not my responsibility
to care.

Oh, heads up, heads up.

Hey, chief.
How you doin'?

Seems i'm a little rusty

on my bead transfer
and rope pass.

Dr. Yang here's been
kicking my ass all day.

Oh, no.
Oh, i can't imagine...

no, really, she has.

Of course,
speed and precision

aren't the most important
surgical skills, dr. Yang.

Basics are the key.

You need a solid foundation
before anything else.

okay, um... well, i'll see you
back at the lab.

Sir.

Enjoy your lunch.
You, too. Bye.

Have a nice day, sir.

Okay, i really am
kicking the chief's ass.

George.

Not my responsibility.

Well, who's gonna...
see you guys.

It's okay.
I can accept rejection.

I've got my knitting.
Mer...

the weird thing is...

i thought i just saw
my father.

Oh! That's good.
That's so good.

Hmm. Did you meet
your sister, too?

appoggiatura won last year.

Year before that...

akshay buddiga...
he fainted,

then got up anspelled
the word alopecoid.

Kid's a major legend.

all right.
Now it's my turn.

Fibromyalgia.

Fibromyalgia?

Yeah, what's wrong
with fibromyalgia?

Andrew won the regionals.
He's going to d.c.

He's probably insulted
by fibromyalgia.

Fibromyalgia...

suction.

F-i-b-r-o-m-y-a-l-g-i-a.

Fibromyalgia.

She's right.
That was kind of easy.

Okay. You want me
to bring on the heat?

I'm gonna bring on the heat.

Omphalocele.

Omphalocele.

More suction in there.

omphalocele.

C-a...

okay.
Andrew...

f...

what's happening?
F...

mark that. We've hit
the language center.

We just have to pull back.

andrew.
F... s...

andrew.

Andrew, andrew,

uh, spell it again
for me.

E...

give me the stealth probe,
please.

Dr. Shepherd's working on it.
I don't want you to be scared.

I-i want you to wait.

Just wait.
I want you to hold on.

Mark that as well, please.

Okay, try now.

Okay. All right.

Andrew, spell omphalocele
one more time for me.

Omphalocele.

Mark that, please.

O-m-p...
(derek) good. Okay.

H-a-l-o-c-e-l-e.

Omphalocele.

That's it! That's perfect.

Dr. Bailey, are you crying?

Oh, i got something
in my eye.

You're doing great, andrew.
We're almost done.

Stop lookin' at me
like that.

It's my hormones.
Mm-hmm.

I'm still a surgeon.

I'm just a surgeon
with an excess of estrogen.

Deal with it.
Andrew, can you spell estrogen?

E-s-t-r-o-g-e-n.

Here's a word for you.
Delusional.

delusional...

(man) today's final assignment
will show how well

you can take the skills
you have learned

and apply them
to a single operation.

You may begin.

so i'm gonna do
the surgery with a small scope,

and it'lbe minimally invasive.

And then you should be able
to do the rest of your recovery

from home.

Thank you.

Yeah, okay.

uh, molly, this is doctor...

uh, this is meredith.

She's gonna be continuing
your prep work

and taking your vitals.

Okay?

Okay.

Hi.

Hey.

Uh, do you mind if i, um...

no, it's fine.

I'm getting used to being
poked and prodded.

That's a... pretty ring.

Oh, thanks.

It was my grandma's
and then my mom's.

You think i'm too young
to be married.

No, l...

that's okay.
Everybody thinks i'm too young.

If i saw me, i'd think
i was too young.

Um... how... how old are you?

22.

Eric's 23,

and he's in the army,
and he was getting shipped out.

And... i just love him
so much, you know?

Anyway, i proposed.

Oh. And your, uh, parents,
they approve?

Oh, my parents are amazing.

I mean,
you know how dads can be.

Mine's pretty overprotective,

but... you know, at my wedding,
when he gave me away,

my dad cried, which was...

i had never seen
my dad cry before.

But... i think it was also
kind of weird for him

'cause i'm his little girl.

You know, i'm the youngest,

and my sister is, like,
nowhere near ready for marriage.

But it was good crying.

Like he was proud of me,
you know?

I'm sorry.

I'm just... i'm nervous,
so i'm talking.

no, that's okay.
So you have a sister?

Yeah, lexie.
She's in medical school.

Harvard.
She's the smart one.

You should see
how my dad is about her.

He's, like, crazy proud.

Well, i'm gonna go.

Meredith.
Mm-hmm.

Do you think my baby
is gonna be okay?

Oh. Well, i hope so.

Me, too.

Okay.

i need some bones to break.
What?

Some bones to break,
something to smash.

Can you help me
with that, please?

Um, you can clean up
this cast crap if you want.

is she freaking out?

No. Unh-unh. She's fine.

she's great.

so george...

he's really...
really your type, huh?

You don't see him.

Either of you,
you don't see him.

He's just...
he's just george to you.

He's... he's just o'malley.
He's your roommate.

You don't have to get all...

he makes my world stop.

George o'malley is sweet

and kind

and smart and strong.

And he makes my world stop
so you shut up about him.

don't forget to clean it up

when you're done smashing.

Holy crap.

George is her mcdreamy.

i'm done! I'm done!
I'm done!

(man) flawless, chief webber.

Absolutely flawless.

They call me dr. Webber.

that's why
i'm the chief.

that's why i'm the chief.

* that's why
i'm the chief *

* the chief *

so when is my mom
getting out of here?

I'm sorry, honey,

but it's gonna be
a few days.

Can you call aunt sue,
see if she can pick you up?

So i get to spend my birthday
hanging out with aunt sue.

Perfect.

I promise you, next year,

next year, we'll do something
really special

for your birthday.

You name it, it's done.

I promise.

Whatever.

So this whole lying thing,

this is working out
for you?

Excuse me?

Look, you're going to die,
and soon. You get that, right?

There's no rosy picture
to paint here.

You're not a mother.

You don't know what it's like

to hold your newborn baby
in your arms

and smell the top of her head

and know that your only job
in the world

is to protect her.

You think
you're protecting her?

I am protecting her.

Well, i guess you can
call it what you want.

But you should just know that
you're leaving behind a kid

that'll probably hate you
the rest of her life.

Dr. Karev...

no, i'm talking this time.
Excuse me?

I tell the truth.
It's what i do.

It doesn't make me
a bad doctor.

Everyone walks around
this place lying.

Look, we tell a patient
that's dying that there's hope

when there is no hope.

Maybe i'm a pig,
maybe i'm an ass,

maybe i'm a vermin
like everybody says.

But i tell them the truth.

It's the one thing
that i've got goin' for me.

And you don't get to
take that away from me

and call it a lesson, sir.

l-i saw a picture once
from a long time ago.

You look just like her...
your mother.

You look a lot like
my girls,

especially molly.

You were talking to her?

I didn't say anything
about anything.

Oh, she knows about you.

Or she knows that her father
was married before

and had another daughter.

Has another daughter.

No, had is right.

Your father thinks about you.

He thinks about you
a lot.

He just...

your mother...

your mother...

she broke him.

Ahem. Uh, excuse me.

L-i have to work.

i spent years studying
this board,

holding a crying baby,

trying to get an idea

when my wife
would get out of surgery.

"Appy" takes about an hour.

Anything
with the word "cardio,"

and i knew not to plan on
seeing her at all that day.

thatcher, are you aware
of what's going on with ellis?

U have no right...
no right...

to talk to me about ellis.

I'm sorry.

But i was trying to talk
to you about meredith.

thatcher, ellis has
early-onset alzheimer's.

It's advanced.

And it's hard on meredith,
as you can imagine.

And i thought you'd want
to know.

hey, andrew.

It's dr. Bailey.

Remember me?

I was in surgery with you.

I'm... i'm sorry.

No, no, don't worry.
Don't worry.

A lot of times, kids who are
awake during surgery

don't remember afterwards.

Anyway, your operation
went really well.

We got all that tumor
outta there,

and you're gonna be
just fine.

I... thanks.

Okay.

You know
i have a son, too.

And i'm going home right now
to tell him that today,

i met
the best speller in seattle.

oh, hey. Dr. O'malley.

Hi.

I was looking for you.
You were...

before, when i was
asking about meredith...

you know her.

You're her friend.

I used to be her roommate.

So you know her
really well.
Pretty well.

she... she came to see me
a couple of weeks ago, and...

a couple of weeks ago?

Yeah. L... and i didn't know
what to say to her.

She looks so...
so much like her mother.

Ellis was cold.

I mean, i was a coward.
I was. L-i left.

But her mother would never
let me know her, and...

now i don't know how
to know her.

well, meredith
is anything but cold.

She smiles...
not that often...

but when she does...
you know, because she's...

really going through a lot...

but... it's...

it's like you feel warm.

She's kind.

I mean, she can be
a little selfish.

Oh, she can be...

she's flawed,
but she's kind.

She cares out people.

And, uh...

she cares a-about her patients.

I think she's gonna be
a brilliant surgeon.

You know, around here,
she's known as the one to beat.

So, l-i don't know,

i guess she has that
in common with her mom,

but...

i think the rest of her...
i think, uh,

i think the rest of that,
she gets from you.

hmm. Do... do you know...
where she is?

i think she left already.

I could tell her you're...
you were here

if you want me to.

Yeah. Okay.

Thank you.

thank you, george.

hey

Hey. Still knitting?

Oh, yeah.
I'm getting so good at it.

I did a craniotomy on a kid
today while he was awake.

I met a sister
i never knew i had.

And i saw my father,
which was, uh...

i don't know what it was.

You okay?

I have my knitting.

Study hard.
Keep your grades up.

Starting next year,

you're gonna want to take
two a.p. Classes a semester

if you want to get into
a decent college.

Mom, this is really morbid.

And your aunt sue
is kinda lazy

when it comes to
personal hygiene.

so you may have to be the one
who remind her when she next time

to get your eyebrows waxed
or get your hair cut,

but eventually,
she'll get the routine down.

Can we not have
this conversation?

Oh, this might sound random,

but wear underwear
with pantyhose.

I know it might feel
a little bulky,

but honestly,
it's a little slutty not to,

and also, that's how
you get yeast infections.

Mom... (laughs)
This is totally gross.

And marry a kind man,

one who's nice to his mother.

Now if he lives
with his mother,

you run the opposite way.

Mom, i'm not getting married
anytime soon.

You will someday.

And when that day comes,

just have
one glass of champagne

and then you drink water
for the rest of the night

because there's nothing tackier
than a drunken bride.

Mom, i don't wanna...

why are you telling me
all this?

Honey, i've been sick
for a long time,

and the doctors don't think
that i'm gonna get better.

No.

Amelia, listen to me.

Look at me. Amelia.

This is important.

This one is... is really
the important one.

Someday,
you're gonna have a baby.

And you're gonna feel
overwhelmed

by this little life
that you're responsible for.

And you're gonna think...

worry that everything you do
is wrong,

and that's normal.

You're gonna obsess
about what to feed it

and where to send it
to school

and whether it should take
violin or piano.

But i'm gonna let you in
on a little secret.

It doesn't matter.

Whether your kid is
a concert pianist

or a math genius,

it just doesn't matter.

Because at the end of the day,

all that matters
is if your kid is happy.

So you're gonna feel sad
for a little while.

And that's okay.
That's... that's fine.

But don't feel sad forever,
okay?

You can promise me that?

You promise me that you won't
feel sad for too long.

I promise.
Okay.

Thank you.

'Cause you're making me feel
much better.

Life is not
a spectator sport.

Win, lose or draw...

the game is progress...

whether we want it to be
or not.

You made me a sweater...

today?

In one day,
you made me a sweater?

Yeah, well, you know,
i just, i had some time, so...

wow. That vow of celibacy
must really be something.

You know what? Just accept
your gift and say thank you.

Does this mean i don't get
any sexual favors?

Sweater instead of sex?

Smell it.

Go on. Smell it.

It smells like izzie.

Yeah, i wore it
for three hours.

So that is the closest
you're gonna be gettin'

to this body, mister.

You wanna play some scrabble
or are you too tired?

Scrabble, please.
Okay.

Just show me one boob.

Chief, sir.

Nice work today, yang.

Hopefully,
your fellow interns

will be as adept
on the scope as you.

Thank you, sir, but, um,
you weren't even looking.

You actually had
your eyes closed, so how...

um, i was watching you,

and you didn't even
need the...

well, you didn't even need
the screen

to help you guide
the needle holder.

Old school, yang.

Muscle memory.

You want to win?

Always go back
to the basics.

It's my move?

Cristina, what the hell
are you doing?

being comfortable
in my apartment.

I didn't see anything.
I did not see anything.

Get out.
Yeah.

Basics.

So go ahead...

argue with the refs,

change the rules,

cheat a little...

Take a break
and tend to your wounds.

But play.

hello?

Play.

hi.

Hi.

you live here?

Yeah.

I'm not...
crazy or anything,

i just spend so much time
here in the hospital...

it's just...
it's easier. So...

i'm not... i'm not crazy
or anything.

do you know how to cut hair?

Play hard...
play fast...

play loose and free.

play as if
there's no tomorrow.

come on, bubbles.

Dandridge veterinary clinic.

We certainly do.

Yes. Thank you.

You're getting
the hang of it?

Not really.

You give up men?

No.

Yes.

You know, i don't actually
need to see the vet.

I really just wanted
to sit with doc.

I just want to spend time
with my dog.

hi. I'm finn dandridge.
I'm doc's vet.

And you are dr. Grey,

doc's other owner.

We finally meet. Hello.

Okay... so... it's not whether
you win or lose,

it's how you play the game.
