Grey's Anatomy (2005–…): Season 3, Episode 6 - Let the Angels Commit - full transcript

Derek's sister comes to Seattle for a visit, and seems more into the extended family and gossip surrounding his divorce from Addison than into him. Meanwhile, the interns are not the only ones jealous of Cristina's opportunity to scrub in with Preston on a "Humpty Dumpty" procedure, and Bailey takes it personally when she learns she's been scrubbed, herself. George works with Addison on a very unusual case and Alex envies him.

previously on "grey's anatomy"

when I told you I was done trying to compete?
That was me breaking up with you

I broke up with finn

Yeah

The patient died last month from complications
following a heart transplant

Denny

Are there any questions for me?

I got shot
I'm not fine You're not fine

You quit being a surgeon

You'll stand on my right side,
I'll look at you,

and you'll know to slide in
to do the sutures we've practiced



Nobody has to know

to make it

really make it

as a surgeon

it takes major commitment

We have to be willing
to pick up that scalpel

and make a cut that may or may not
do more damage than good

It's all about being committed

because if we're not

we have no business
picking up that scalpel in the first place

Put burke in O R 2 tomorrow at 10:00 A M
The usual scrub team

And get rid of his valve replacement at 20
That's no--
that's no good

Yang,brought you a latte

You're not scrubbing in



But burke always let's me scrub in

Hey,yang,
can i get in on burke's--

no,no,okay?
No residents

Burke says you crowd him,
so just go away

Make sure you put the instrument t
ray on his left-hand side

He needs the extra elbow room
And remember,O R Two No gallery

Burke was specific

Dr Burke's become very specific
since coming back to work,hasn't he?

Do you want me to tell him you said that?

Burke's back,
and suddenly cristina's running his board?

Who does she think she is--
bailey?

She's helping him

Bull
She's taking advantage

She gets out of rounds,
she scrubs in on every surgery burke does,

she's ordering around third-year residents

You guys are overreacting

I'm so sorry
It's completely illegible

She is writing on the O R Board

Maybe I should sleep with burke

you've been busy

Yeah

Derek hasn't called yet
I told him I broke up with finn a week ago

He still hasn't called

Hey,do you want to go grab a drink,
catch up?

no,I can'T I have to study up
for burke's surgeries tomorrow

She's busy

Callie

Hey,

talk to me

Hey,how about talking
to me instead of ignoring me?

- Callie
- George!

Well,that's talking
That's a good start

Oh! Oh,god

Hey,
stranger

Oh,

You don't call first?

hi

Let me explain Meredith

I take it that was the slutty
intern you cheated on addison with?

She's not slutty
What are you doing here?

You bailed on thanksgiving and christmas,
and you live in a trailer,

and you're getting a divorce
And then there's the slutty intern

I really don't like you

You love me

This is me-- human resources
See you guys on the floor

Yeah

Okay,I'll be cristina for you
if you'll be izzie for me

Deal

derek had a woman in his trailer last night
She was ugly,very ugly

Except she was tall and beautiful
And he was naked

mcdreamy was doing the mcnasty with a mchottie?

That mcbastard

- How-- how was that?
- That was good

- Cristina enough? Really?
- Yeah

- Yeah?
- Yeah

- Yeah,'cause--
- channeling izzie

- Go
- Okay,
uh,

callie
she won't forgive me

she won't talk to me
She dumped me

Which is,I don't care about,
you know,at all

Good,
because you deserve better

You do
You are george

I mean,seriously Seriously Seriously

- Was that izzie-optimistic?
- That's very izzie

what the hell has happened to us?

We are now the people that the people
we want to be with avoid

We have careers to think about

We don't need attention from men with perfect hair

You know,
we should make a pact

There's no more dating

No more derek
No more callie

Just 100% focus on our work

- They're dead to us
- They are freakin' corpses to us

Preston burke What a pleasure
I have read so much about you

Well,
thank you

Pruitt byrd
Medivac brought him inhis morning

He presents with a primary cardiac tumor

We've been told pruitt needs
a "cardiac autotransplantation

" A cardiac autotransplantation?

A humpty dumpty surgery

Yes,
I know what it is

Mrs Byrd,
this is a very complicated surgery

You'll need thorough testing

already done

Mr Byrd is a perfect candidate

You understand what this surgery entails?
We have to--

we have to remove his heart,
cut it open,

scrape out all the tumor
and then put his heart back together again

Which is risky

But possible

which is why we're here
I want the very best for my pruitt

The best

- She means you
- I know that,

however-- I've scheduled
mr Byrd for surgery this afternoon

Just trying to be as efficient as possible

Legal cleared stevens

Explain her parameters
and make sure she understands

What,
stevens is being assigned to me again?

- She's your intern
- But I-I didn't think that--

wouldn'tt be better for her
to start fresh with another resident?

U don't want her,

I
want her to succeed

There's still a good deal
of fallout after the duquette m&M

There's been talk

Look,I don't need to tell you
that there are doctors That there are doctors
who have concerns about your judgment

Concerns about my judgment?

Stevens was your mistake

Do you,
sir?

Do you have concerns about my judgment?

do you?

You're not gonna put those concerns
to rest by avoiding
taking responsibility for dr Stevens

She's your intern
again

Transfer from mercy west

Noelle labatt,
32 weeks along,

pregnant with twins

One appears to be developing
more slowly than the other

Hello Hi,there

Greg stanton
This is my fianc?e,

the future mrs Stanton-- noelle

Greg,I promise you,you're the only person
who cares if we're married or not

They said at mercy that we had to come
here because her condition could be serious

I-is it serious?

I've got to say,
at first glance,

you don't seem emergent enough
for mercy to send you over here in an ambulance

You're not in labor,you're not bleeding,
your vitals are fine

They said I need a specialist because of my thing

- Your thing?
- Two uteruses?

Ms Labatt,
noelle was born with two uteruses

- uteri?
- Uteruses

Uteruses

That's very rare

I'm here
Hi Hello

That paperwork took--
well,forever

But I'm all do with it now,
and can I just say how

really grateful I am to be back?

You understand there are rules to your probation,
a protocol to follow?

yeah,
I know

Legal already took me through lots of that stuff--

the mandatory counseling,
the extra lab hours,

the volunteer work with transplant patients

That's the stuff you're doing for the chief

I'm talking about what you're doing for me

Okay,
what am I doing for you?

Okay,
let's start with what you don't get to do

You will not interact with any patients

You will not be alone with any patients

You will be seen and not heard
You will perform no procedures

The O R
Is off limits

No pre-op,no post-op,
no anything have to do with an "op

" You have no authority,
you have no opinions

and you have no choice in this matter
Am I understood?

Is there anything I can do?
I want to be useful

Well
I can't use you

You've got to earn back the right
for any of us to trust you again

Until then,
you will be shadowing a different doctor each day

Okay,well,who am I with today,
dr Montgomery,you?

Dr Bailey,
you paged

Dr Grey

Meredith?

You're to make sure that stevens observes only

You want me to

wait,
meredith

meredith is the boss of me?

Y about this

It's not your fault

Hey,you want me to fetch you some coffee,
rub your feet maybe?

I did not ask for this assignment

I'm fine with it
Really,it's fine

- I'm so sorry
- Dr Stevens--

- hey,dr Shepherd
- Welcome back

Okay
Uh,

meredith,
meredith--

sorry,it's not like I can leave
I gotta stay by my boss' side

Okay,the trailer sucks,

but in the light of day,
the land's nice

Seattle's pretty in the daylight,
plus you have your thing for ferries,

- so
- ferry boats

Right
Whatever

Dr Stevens,
meredith,this is my sister nancy

hi
Sister?

Yeah

you're one of derek's sisters

Yeah,I knew you didn't think I was
the wife seeing as you already ran her F

Nancy is visiting from connecticut
She's on her way home now,

straight back home

Well,
it was nice to meet you

Okay

Mcdreamy's sister's mcbitchy

you put me in charge of your schedule

To make sure that i didn't
get a surgery like this one

Only a handful of people do humpties,
burke,
and you're the best one on the west coast

Well,
he can go to houston

You want to tell that to the chief?

Pruitt needs this surgery
He'll die without it

You didn't tell me

You told the patient we were doing the surgery,

but you didn't tell me

I have been doing that all week

Are you up on the humpty?
Do you realize what this entails?

I have done my research
Stop worrying

We are a well-oiled machine

- dr Burke
- Yeah

I understand there are some doctors
in this hospital

who have concerns about my judgment since denny

Well,
everybody loves a scandal

So you think it's just gossip,
not actual concern about me as a doctor?

Sure
Sure

Iz,
set me up for debridement and dressing

It was stupid
I know better

When I'm studying for the bar,
I'm a mess

I can't focus on anything for weeks

but torts and real property and constitutional law

- the biosynthetic ones
- We never use those

We do now
Sloan changed the burn protocol last week

I was about to start a practice test,
and I wanted some tea,

so I put on a pot of water
and hit the timer and just forgot

Half an hour into my section on contracts,

the smoke alarm was blaring,
and well,you know the rest

So you're gonna be a lawyer?

All I have to do is pass the bar exam

I failed before,
but this time I'm ready

- I'm gonna pass
- Good for you

That was just mean

Kathleen called and told me to find out
why the slutty intern's panties were hanging
on the hospital bulletin board

Four sisters--
four sisters and not one brother,

and you wonder why I don't call more

Feel free to explain about the panties at any time

Nance,you know what?
It's great to see you

Really great to have you here
But I have a job,
you know?

I have patients

I have a mother at 35 weeks with twins
Where is her O B ?

Well,her O B Should be on a plane back
to connecticut where she belongs

Okay,so we've covered the trailer
We still need to cover the slutty intern

and the divorce

You know what?
You sound more and more like mom every day

Take it back

So two uteruses
that's pretty cool

And you're engaged
That's also cool

Well,
greg talked me into it

Oh,man,from the first moment I saw noelle,
I was ham

Did you just say "ham"?

- You're either ham or eggs
- Here we go

You gotta ask yourself in every situation,

are you the chicken or are you the pig?

Sorry,
pig or chicken?

Look,you got a plate of ham and eggs,
all right?

Now--
now the chicken is involved in the meal,

but the pig--
now the pig is committed

So the question is--
are you involved or are you committed?

Ham or eggs

Ham or eggs

karev,
you free?

Absolutely,
sir

Great,take this
I'm on hold with the D M V

Some mix-up about switching my license
and registration to seattle

Take care of that for me?

Thanks for thinking of me,
sir

O'malley,
how's it feel to be the new gynie grunt?

I got a patient who was born with
and is pregnant in two uteruses

Two uteruses

- Jealous?
- No

No,I'm-- I'm--
I'm busy I'm on hold

- important business
- Right

For sloan

Right,it's super important,
I'm sure

Noelle labatt,
room 2314

Two,two,two,two,
two,two

hang on
Can I see that for a sec?

Did I just hear him say "two uteruses"?

I'm sorry
You-- you must be

nancy-pants?

Hey,
loser

I wish derek had told me you were coming to visit

like he tells you anything these days?

Yeah,well,
I'm working on that

What are you doing here,mark?
Are you trying to torture him?

He's my family,nancy
Plus,I needed a change of pace

Plus,
I slept with my tennis partner's wife,

and he went out and bought a gun

There it is

my god

Nancy!

let me guess
Did mom send you out?

I hear derek's trying to ban you from seattle

Did he also tell you
that he's living in a trailer?

yeah

Derek

derek

I want to see the two uteruses

Yeah,
find me later

- I miss her
- Yeah

me,too

The diesel pushes past cornerback don mcneal

He's at the 30 He's at the 20
He's at the 10

Touchdown,
washingtoredskins

I'm sorry

One of the twins gets rowdy,and greg gets
carried away when talking to the baby

He's decided that the baby is into sports,
of all things

Well,
she's daddy's little girl

I can tell,see,
because when I talk to her--

yeah,the rhythm in your voice,
it helps calm her

Sure I read a couple of articles
on that recently,actually

Dr Karev,
I knew you secretly missed my service

Right

Greg,noelle,
I have very good news for you

According to our tests,
the babies are both perfectly healthy

But they are substantially different sizes
for a very unique reason

The test indicate that the babies
have two different due dates

according to our calculations,
the larger baby,

your son,was conceived a full
six weeks before your daughter

- I
- oh,god

I-I don't--
I-I don't understand

That-- that can't be right
That's impossible

No,actually,
it's quite possible

Our tests are extremely accurate
in predicting due dates

But we broke up

Yeah,see,she,
she got pregnant

I wanted to get married She didn'T
I gave her an ultimatum,and she left me

Greg,I am so sorry
I am so,so sorry

I mean,we were barely speaking six weeks
after the conception,

let alone having sex

Or at least I wasn't having sex

It was one night,greg
It was one night

I-I didn't think that this could happen
It was nothing

I can't believe you did this
I can't believe you didn't tell me

god,
I can't believe this

He's not the father of both babies

I hear you burned your hand
because you were studying?
I can't even be allowed to warm soup

within five days of taking the bar

So you burned your hand while you were--

- burning my soup
- And when you grabbed the pot--

dropped it,obviously
I mean,it was literally red hot

You must have held on to it for a little while,
though

This burn's extremely deep

Oh,yeah No,that's right
I held on,and then I dropped it

There are some deep partial thickness burns here

Give her a gram of cefazolin and a tetanus

It's too bad,really,
that I did this to my hand

I'm supposed to be taking the bar again friday

This burn is bad,
but we'll get you fixed up

You'll be fine to take the test on friday

I will?

she's lying

Something's off about gretchen's story

Izzie,
you're only supposed to be observing

I am observing
I'm observing closely

And I'm telling you something is off

Did you see her reaction when sloan
told her she'd be okay to take the test again?

That was not relief
That was panic

It's okay to be nervous
about being back here at work,

bout failing,
but you haven't even been back a full day yet,

and already you're pushing to bend the rules

Meredith,
this is so not about me

This is about our patient

I am worried about our patient,
and get off your high freakin' horse

This is my patient
Try to remember that

Fine
Whatever

Iz

A humpty dumpty surgery?

B-burke's doing a humpty dumpty today?

yes

Well,
I've never seen a humpty firsthand before

Yeah,
me neither

what are you doing?

Scrubbing in
You'll let burke know?

Sure

I know you're not talking to me anymore,
and that's okay,

but there's something I'd like to explain
All you have to do is listen

You and me,
we're like ham and eggs

I was the chicken
I just want you to know

that I know that I was the chicken
You put yourself out there

and you were committed,
and I was just putting the eggs on the plate

Not the ham,
because you were the p

I was involved,
but now I'm committed

- Did you just call me a pig?
- No,it's a metaphor

Calling me a pig?

The point is,
you're not the pig anymore

What I'm trying to say is I'm the pig

Now I am the pig

I am the pig

I've been waiting for you guys
for a half an hour in the cafeteria

Since when do we eat in a patient room?

Izzie,
meet really old guy

We found him a couple of days ago

he sleeps all the time

It's quiet in here
Nobody bothers us

No,what are you doing?

It turns out I'm not doing anything

I'm literally not allowed to do anything

I knew coming back was gonna be an adjustment,
but this is just--

no
What are you doing right now?

Eating my lunch

Okay,if you want to socialize or talk
about your day or get in a quick therapy session,

you know,
go do it over there

- Seriously?
- Good-bye,izzie

Okay,
fine

So,o'malley,
your chick with the two uteruses?

You're on scut--
glorified plastics scut

You are in no position to mock me or my uteruses

Any cervical changes on the ultrasound?

- Why do you care?
- I don'T

I'm so glad to be back
Yay!

I'm not complaining about you
You and I are fine,boss

this is weird

- I called callie a pig
- to her face?

what happened to the whole she's a corpse thing?

I just can't get over how much
everything around here has changed

- How many times?
- Just one time

- I get one,too,then
- Deal

Gin

what was,
with that,with meredith?

We have a thing

Wait,you have a thing with meredith
and I don't know about it?

I live with you
I see you every day

It's a work thing
Okay,

you know,
the whole point of hanging out
with really old guy is that he doesn't talk

The man is sedated
This is supposed to be a quiet place

See?
Changed

She's changed
Everything's changed

I gave the other nurse a list
of his medications this morning

My husband needs his pills
He needed them hours ago!

okay
Why don't you check on the meds again?

- I have checked on them
- No,meds,pharmacy,now

I'm sorry
I am sorry

It's fine
It's fine

I was never a yeller before

I'm becoming this horrible person

who yells at people who are just trying
to do their job

You are just looking out for your husband

You do exactly what it takes to protect him,
and that does not make you horrible

It makes you smart

He said he was leaving
He said he wasn't coming back

She's hyperventilating,
and the baby's had some bradycardia

noelle,
I ed you to get back into bed now

Is greg out there?
Did he leave? Like really leave?

Just take deep breaths

I always give him such a hard time,
you know,about everything

Like he likes weddings I hate them
He loves kids,and me,they scare me to death

Noelle,
have you had any cramping,

any contractions,
any pressure at all?

But I can't do this without him
We'll get past this,right?

We have to get past this

Damn it

All right,noelle,
I need you to get into bed,okay?

Why,
what's happening?

Stay on your left side,
and whatever you do,do not push,okay?

okay,I need slow,
deep breaths

So tell me about the slutty girl

Fine,
the slutty intern

It was the slutty part I had a problem with

Kathleen says she's not even single

She is single She's wonderful
She's smart

She's a lot of things
And she's none of your business,nancy

I've never seen you like this over a girl,
even addison

I've never been like this over a girl,
especially addison

don't be bitter I mean,
shame on addison and all that,

but he's mark,derek
What did you expect?

He's just
mark

And who hasn't gone there once or twice,
right?

- What'd you say?
- Oh,come on

Everybody sleeps with mark
It's practically a rite of passage

Derek,
I get it,okay?

I get that they made a terrible mistake

It wasn't a mistake
Nancy,it wasn't a mistake

It wasn't just one night
It was months

They were together for months
Didn't you know that?

No,I had no idea

Then shut up about it and eat your lunch

STAFF:BURKE LES :

Derek's sister is in town

Cristina,
are you mad at me or something?

Because I have been trying to talk to you all week

Everything is not about you,
meredith

Okay,what is going on?
Because george and alex are saying--

- I-I don't care
- What is your problem?

I just

I have bigger things in my life right now

What?

Nothing

10 blade

Hey Hey,dr O'malley Can you,
can you tell me what's happening in there?

I thought you left
She thinks you left her

Look,man,
this is all a lot to digest

I mean,
our daughter,

my--
my little girl isn't even my little girl anymore

Noelle is in there freaking out because you left

Just tell me if she is okay,
please

She's gone into premature labor
Dr Montgomery-shepherd--

dr
Montgomery is about to do an emergency c-section

on one of the babies to try
to stop the labor on the other

Wait,
so you're delivering one of the babies right now,
today?

In just a few minutes
The boy or the girl?

Greg

ham or eggs?

You say you want a career in plastics,

anyet you can't tear yourself away
from the baby catchers long
enough to actually show me you want it

Being on hold with the D M V Has nothing to do
with a career in plastics,dr Sloan

Only it does,because being on hold
with the D M V Has to do with me,

and I have everything to do
with your career in plastics

Tyler

addison montgomery needs two units
of b-positive blood in l&dstat

I'm on it

So the biosynthetic dressing should ensure
that you won't need skin grafts,

and that's good news

If I did need grafts,
would that take long?

I mean,
I mean,
like how long would something like that take if--

if I had needed them?

that would just depend
on the severity of the burn,really

so more severe than this one?

It would have to be more severe?

just to make sure I have everything accurate,

you burned your hand

we've been over this,
haven't we?

I'm sorry
I--

look,I have a test on friday,
and I have work to do

So I have to--
I-I want to go home

I'm really ready to get out of here now,
okay?

I'm sorry
I didn't mean to--

gretchen,
did you burn your hand on purpose?

Izzie,
you heard what dr Bailey said

It's okay if you did

It's just,did you burn your hand
to get out of taking your test?

I can't fail that damn test one more time

I just
can'T

It's all anyone in my family,
in my life--

it's all they talk about
It's all I'm known for

"Oh,gretchen,the failure

" Can you imagine failing the bar exam five times?

Five times

I mean,
that's absurd

I mean
that's just,

that's pathetic

I cannot sit for two
and a half solid days of testing again

just to prove to everyone

again

how pathetic I am

Not
when

you feel that pathetic all by yourself

okay,
I've completed the incision

I'm going to ask you to move the top uterus

to the side so I can reach the one underneath

got it

Now I don't want to alarm you
or make you nervous in any way,
o'malley,

because you seem like a decent person,

but I've got about 120 seconds to get baby one out

of uterus one while you're holding uterus two,

and if you so much as hiccup,

you could tear the uterine wall
and kill this woman's child

So do what you can to be careful,
okay?

Okay

Look at that
Amazing,

applying the final hemostasis suture

Great
Don't be afraid to--

grab a bigger piece?
Got it

Good Very nice,
dr Yang

Applying pressure

Gently

It was attached to the interventricular septum

Are you gonna use a graft to repair?

Somebody's been doing their homework

4-0 prolene,please
Thank you very much,

Ready to perforate uterus two
Scalpel

Wait Wait,
dr Montgomery

My baby's moving It's really moving
I can't hold it

George,I need you to hold her
still if I'm gonna do this c-section

I'm trying

I mean it,
o'malley

What should I do?
It's really moving I can't hold it

I need you to keep her still,george
You're sending her into distress

You have to get that baby to stop moving

- How do I do that?
- Talk,o'malley

Alex

Karev,
back away from the table

Talk to it,to the baby,
to calm it down

- Karev
- Talk about what?

October 30,
1974--

it's the fight known as "rumble in the ngle

" World heavyweight champ george foreman

is pitted against muhammad ali
in his first major fight

after three and a half years out of the ring

- It's working
- Foreman is favored to win

He's younger,
he's stronger

scalpel
But he's not prepared for what
ali would later call the rope-a-dope

It all started in the second round
Foreman comes out swinging

Ali's backed up against the ropes

that's not gonna stay on
You're giving it too much slack

You're blocking my light

Think of it as a basic corner stitch

I can figure out how to sew on my own buttons,
thank you I am surgeon Right

for god's sakes

You sew this on for me,
and I'll get rid of addison and sloan

- Really?
- No

fine
I'll do it anyway

So I heard you've got a sister wandering the halls

She planning on moving here,
too?

God,
I hope not

Derek,
I know it's been hard on you

He was like my brother

I have four sisters

four very annoying sisters

Mark was my brother

It's--
it's hard

Divorce isn't all it's cracked up to be,
huh?

I just want it to be easy

I want it to be over and move on

But

but you're in a surprising amount of pain

You and adele?

I'm sewing on a button
for the first time in my life

What does that tell you?

technically,

I'm sewing

I'm just saying

Dr Sloan

So we're clear,

you knew when you stepped into that surgery,
you were forfeiting your future in plastics,
right?

- But,dr Sloan--
- I need my phone back

Well done
You really prepared

Yes,
I'm always prepared

Couldn't do it without you

- Thank you
- Dr Burke,

could we have a moment alone?

I just--
I didn't realize that you were one of them,

one of the doctors around here
with doubts about me or my abilities

Miranda,
I'm not

My name was erased from the board
I have to assume that was you

- Dr Bailey--
- I just-- I just--

I just need to know why

I need you to tell me why you didn't w
ant me in on your surgery

I'm afraid I just couldn't use you

I understand

you should've seen that
Two uteruses So unbelievably cool

And a cute baby to boot

Well,
I'm glad you're enjoying your trip

Relax,derek
I'm going

I'm on a plane in two hours

So
you're gonna report back to mom that?

That you're you

Still running in circles
around all the women in your life,

but that's to be expected
with four sisters and a dead dad

I'm not running around in circles

Derek,
can y even remember the last time you were alone?

You've never been single,
ever

I mean,you're fine,
but you're not happy

And you're not gonna get happy
until you get some space

Just get away from addie,

away from the intern,
just away

Figure out what you want

Kathleen's the shrink,
nancy,not you

I gotta go

Nancy

Thanks for flying out here

It was,

thanks

- where are we going again?
- We need to go upstairs

Okay

wait Wait
Where are we?

We're on the psychiatric floor,
gretchen

We need to place you on a 72-hour hold

No,I'm not crazy You can't--
no I'm going home

- Gretchen
- No,you have to let me go home

Please I'll just--
I need to go back home Please

If you go home,
you're just gonna hurt yourself again Right?

Isn't that your plan,
so that you won't have to take the bar exam?

You need some help,
gretchen

If the idea of taking an exam makes you
hold your palm to a burner,

you need some help

Everyone needs help from time to time,

someone to look out for them,

make sure they're okay,

make sure they're ready
I have that

And you need that right now

- I'm not crazy
- I know

I st
didn't want to fail

I know

What happened?

Are my babies okay?

The surgery went very well
You have a healthy baby boy

And the labor stopped on your little girl
She's gonna be just fine

And greg?
Has greg come back yet?

No,noelle,
I'm sorry

Greg isn't here

I want an update every half-hour,
and--

what happened?

- My babies?
- They're just fine

You're just coming out of anesthesia,
noelle

Everything went very well

Is greg back yet?

I'm so sorry,
noelle He's not here

And be sure to alert me to any fetal distress

What happened?

Your babies are healthy,noelle
Everything's okay

Is greg back yet?

I'm right here

Hi

Hi

I,
I saw our son

He's amazing

But how's our little girl?

You look like you could use a little cheering up

Not from you

if I recall,
I was pretty good at cheering you up

one,t wo yep,

three very cheerful times

Dirty It was not "cheerful
" It was dirty

And like I said,
no

So your sister really doesn't like me,
huh?

Sorry
It's just,she'S

from the east coast

Well,

I-- I-- you know what?
I shoulda called

But you didn'T

I want us to work,
it's just--

it's complicated

I think I need a little time to

take some space

Yeah

To clear my head

Yeah

I okay

Okay

Okay

There are times when even the best of us

have trouble with commitment

Dr Stevens

I was just looking at dr
Grey's evaluation on your first day back to work

I get daily report cards now?

She had a lot to say

Yes,
sir

It was a difficult catch
Nicely handled

Good work

Welcome back,
dr Stevens

I was rude to you before
I'm sorry

I understand what you're trying to say
You're the

pig

You are committed

Only we broke up

And I've been wanting to hear
this from you for how long?

And-- and you wait until now to say it
to me after we've broken up?

I'm out of my element here
I break bones for a living

I-I used to live in the basement

Most days I wear last night's eyeliner to work

I don't give a crap
what other people think about me

because I am a happily independent,
successful woman,

and I like it that way

Only when you say stuff like this,

it just
it makes things too hard So please

don't chase me anymore

unless you're ready to catch me

And we may be surprised by the commitments

we're willing to let slip out of our grasp

Commitments are complicated

I'm here for you,
whatever it is

Whenever you're ready,
I'm here

Thank you

We may surprise ourselves

by the commitmen we're willing to make

True commitment takes effort

and sacrifice

Which is why sometimes

we have to learn the hard way

to choose our commitments
very carefully
