We're trained to be vigilant...

to chase down the problem...

Oh!

What...

Hi.

Hey.

To ask
all the right questions...

to find the root cause...

until we know
exactly what it is...

Dr. Hunt, please.

No, he did not
go home for the night.



This is Dr. Yang.
Page him.

No, I will hold.

And we can confront it.

You are.

What?

What is it?

Oh, you...
you didn't come home.

Uh, yeah, there was a bus crash.
Wh... uh, what time is it?

What are you...
what are you doing here?

I just, um...

I figured you had
a rough night,

so...

I brought you some coffee.

Oh, great. Thanks.



It takes
an extreme amount of caution...

Wh-where is it?

I forgot it.

But, um,

you go back...
go back to sleep.

Okay.

Or we can overstep ourselves.

We can create problems
where none exists.

Come back to me.

I'm not coming back.

You miss it.

What's to miss about neuro?

Me.

We decided it was a bad idea.

Well, that was before,

when we were trying
to get Zola back.

I miss you.

Just come back for one day.

Remember the mystery...

the magic...

gliomas...

meningiomas...

astrocytomas?

Ooh.

Ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo.

Dr. Webber?

Dr. Webber.

Rise and shine, Richard.

Dr. Avery is here
for our bladder surgery.

Oh, right. Right.
Oh, right.

Hey, hey.

Hi, Catherine.

Oh, take your time, honey.

- I want to see this bladder you baked.
- Yeah.

Oh, look at that.

Dr. Keaton.

Homegrown from the patient's
own bladder and stem cells.

Beautiful.

All those late-night calls
paid off, didn't they?

Yeah, we couldn't have done it
without your consultation.

Flatterer.

All right.

Well, before we stick this thing
someplace where the sun don't shine,

I'm gonna go and find my son.

And you

should go and find
a pot of coffee.

- Yeah.
- I'll see you before surgery.

Dr. Keaton.

All right.

Late night, sir?

Oh, I'm fine.
Um, I sit with Adele

till she falls asleep, then I
like to be there in the morning.

But when do you have time
to get some sleep?

I'm fine, Bailey.

I'm fine.

Yes, sir.

Get your scrambled egg
off my blanket.

I said I'd bring you one.
You said you weren't hungry.

You are gonna have
heart failure at 35.

No, give me another card.

Don't you feel bad,
using a distraught mother

to help tutor you?
- No.

I feel bad that I had to
sit with you all night

so you wouldn't cry yourself
to sleep over your sad preemie.

He has a brain bleed.

Mm. No, he barely
has a brain bleed.

Look... we expected it.

I'm watching it.

Oh, that's supposed
to make me feel good?

You are this close
to failing your boards.

Don't even say that.

I know exactly what they'll ask
that's gonna take you down.

- Is it Robbins?
- I gotta go.

It's Robbins.
I'm coming, too.

Hey. Have you seen Derek?

Have you seen Owen?

He put me on his service,
I told him not to,

and he gives me
an arachnoid cyst.

I have to pull the plug
on a brain-dead trauma.

I need Owen to approve it.

There he is.

Hey.

Don't take too much.

- That's my lunch.
- Fine. All right. Thanks.

Okay, bye.

So he's just sharing his
nasty trail mix with someone.

I mean, people do that.
It doesn't mean anything.

- Cristina.
- What?

I gotta go find Derek.

Okay.

Okay, let's go over
the game plan again.

If we see my mother...

We're buried with work today.

And... you're sorry,
but Jackson has no time

to spend with her, okay?

There you are.

Dr. Avery.

Oh, Dr. Sloan.
How nice to see you again.

- Mm.
- Now move outta my way

so I can see my boy.

Mwah.
You look skinny.

Tell me you did not
forget your tux.

Tux?

Jackson is my date

for the frontiers of medicine
benefit tonight.

Oh, this is Dr. Mara Keaton.

Mara is my star urology fellow.

Mara, my son Jackson.

Hey.

Dr. Mark Sloan.

It's a pleasure
to meet you both.

Pleasure to meet you.

Mara's considering Seattle Grace
as an option for next year,

and I thought, well,
who better to show her around

than my son?

- Mm.
- Dr. Sloan, can you spare him

for just a couple of hours?

Absolutely.

Show her around.
Take your time.

I-I can't possibly.
We are...

- buried with work.
- Kepner can cover for you.

- Perfect.
- Perfect.

Perfect.

Hey.

So this is it?

We do it now?

Unless, uh...

Do you need a minute
to say something...

I've said it.

He's been listening to me talk
for 22 years.

I'm sure he's grateful
for a little peace and quiet.

What now?

We'll turn off the ventilator.

His respirations will stop.

I'll disconnect his monitors
and his feeding tube...

and then...

He said this once...

we were watching
some dumb movie on TV,

and this guy pulls the plug
on another guy...

and he...

he said, "don't you dare do that to me."

He was joking.
"Don't you do that to me."

"You leave that plug in the wall,"

"you put my organs in a jar."

"Don't you give up on me."

Stop. Stop this.
Stop it. Stop it.

Stop. I c... I c...
I can't do this.

I can't do this.

Turn... turn this back on.

Turn it back on.

The husband
withdrew consent, Owen.

I had already turned off
the vent when he said no.

He has medical P.O.A.
he said stop. I stopped.

So what are you gonna do?

I'm going to get in on, uh,
Teddy's preemie surgery.

No, you're not.

You're gonna stay with him until
he gives his consent again.

You want me to try
and talk him into it?

No, I want you
to help him through it.

I want you
to help him understand

that this is the only option
left for his husband.

I want you to do your job

and find some damn compassion.

Do you need something?

I just wonder if I could help.

No.

I've... I've been with these guys
since Michael first came in.

And we've talked.
They know me.

Aren't you on nights now?

Well, I can hang around
if it'll help.

- Well, I don't... I...
- Cristina,

she can help, let her help.

Thank you.

Thanks.

So I'm a week
out of law school...

- Uh-huh.
- First big interview,

huge firm.

I've never had
a better interview.

So I stand up to shake
hands, and I pass out...

Right over the coffee table.

Draped over the coffee table
with my butt in the air.

- And your skirt...
- My skirt rides up to my waist.

Not even good panties.
Granny panties.

- Ooh. Wow.
- Mm-hmm.

- Did you get the job?
- No.

Well, your next interview
will end much better

once we remove the cyst.

We're gonna perform what we call
a marsupialization of the cyst.

We open up the wall of the cyst

so that it can drain freely

and then the fluid
won't collect.

So your dizzy spells will stop.

But you said you found a tumor.

Mm-hmm. We did.

It's a small one.
It's called a meningioma.

It's benign, so we're gonna
leave it alone.

If it ever does cause
a problem,

it's easy enough to remove.

Dr. Grey could do it.

Oh, go, girl.

But the cyst
is in the temporal lobe.

That's what's causing
the seizures and the dizziness.

We're gonna go after that.

So this is it?

This is it.

We will see you
when it is all over.

Thank you.

Ah, Dr. Grey.
So glad you could join us.

I've been kidnapped.

She misses me.

She's not even
on neuro anymore.

Well, she's thinking
about coming back.

I'm not.

She is.
She's remembering the magic.

Can he even take heart surgery?

He has to. He has
a pericardial tumor

compressing on his heart.
He's decompensating.

He has a brain bleed.

Shouldn't heart surgery wait
till after it's cleared up?

I wish we could,
but it has to happen today.

Hey.

So Tommy's hip dysplasia
can be treated with a harness.

And I brought you a scone
since you skipped breakfast.

- Oh, thank you.
- Mm-hmm.

Pumpkin. Ew.

I'll take it.

Eat that.

Right. Like I can eat.

You didn't eat all night.
You're gonna pass out.

Just eat it.

When, uh, when are you
going to do the surgery?

As soon as he's prepped.

Karev will let you know
when we get started.

Yeah,
I'm gonna scrub in, right?

You just want
him to have surgery

'cause it'll look good
for your boards.

I do not.

And also I do,

but it's gonna be great
for my boards.

Look, he's gonna be fine,
all right?

He's not scrubbing in.
He was up all night.

Oh, shut up.

Should Karev
really be hooking up

with the heart-patient
intern mom? I mean...

What? No, he's not.

He spent the night.
He gave her a scone.

You gave me a scone.

Yeah, I spend the night with you,
too, because I'm married to you.

No. No.
She's his intern.

I mean, he's just... he's...
he's trying to...

- to be nice, to care.
- Oh.

I mean, Alex Karev
is trying to be more human,

and I think that
we can thank me for that.

They're doing it.

They built you
a beautiful bladder.

Can I see it?

Oh, honey, no. You don't
want to see that thing.

It's nasty.

No, no, picture a bread bowl

like your soup comes in...
- Uh-huh.

- Only this one is made out of meat.
- Mm.

Oh... please don't make me laugh.

I'm gonna pee.

Oh. Oh, God. There I go.

Oh, sweetheart.
I'm so sorry. Ooh.

No, I'm sorry.

It's all right.
That should end today.

You won't have to be scared
that your bladder will let go

every time you laugh.

Or sneeze

or cough or have sex.

You're gonna have
a very full life

when Dr. Avery's
done with you.

I like to think that everybody
lives a very full life

once I'm done with them.

And there...

we...

are.

Great.

That's a perfect craniotomy.
Right, Dr. Grey?

You dragged me back into neuro

to watch Lexie
do a boring procedure?

- Hey, it is not boring.
- It is not boring.

It's her first solo cyst.

Be a big sister.
Cheer her on.

Shepherd,
I've got a motorcycle cop

open on the table
with a C-7 fracture.

I need your eyes on the cord.
Can you...

- All right. I'll be right there.
- Okay.

When you, um,
marsupialize that,

make sure that you...
- Tack the edges. Yes, I know.

- Okay.
- Right.

She knows what she's doing.

Just observe.
I'll be right back.

If you need anything...

We won't. Go.

And this is O.R. two,

which looks exactly like
O.R. one.

You still have to cover the E.R.
in the fifth year,

and study for your boards?

Yeah, it's a pretty
rigorous program.

Speaking of which, I need to be
getting back to work, so...

Do you mind
if we watch for a second?

Of course.

God. I thought I had
no time for a social life.

Are you still dating anyone?

Am I still dating?

I mean, are you dating anyone?

Tell me about you.
Where'd you go to school?

Well, my dad's the director
of surgical science at Oxford,

so I did
my preclinical years there.

Oxford. Wow.

Then residency at mass gen,

then I transferred
to the Brigham

to study under your mother,

and here I am.

That's quite a pedigree,
isn't it?

Well, you know,
a little hard work

and a lot of good timing.

No, I get it.

I totally get it.

Is that Derek Shepherd?

So there's cord damage.

Do you mind if we stay
and watch this for...

Just a few more sutures.

God, I have seen
some tiny little hearts, but...

this is the tiniest.

Whoa.

His pressure's dropped.
What happened?

Doctor, his fontanel is bulging
and the pupils are dilated.

- His I.V.H.
- Brain bleed.

- Give me the ultrasound.
- Here you go.

Okay.

Right there.

It's progressed to stage 3. He's gonna
need a ventriculostomy fast,

or we're looking
at hydrocephalus.

- And brain damage.
- Page Marcus.

- No, Shepherd should take this.
- No, he's in surgery.

- Just page Marcus.
- He can handle it.

No, the kid's getting Shepherd.
Just wait for me.

The cyst is draining
really well.

Really well.

Great job.

Whoa.

Where is that blood
coming from?

It's all right.
It's just a little bleeding.

We just have to find
the source.

Let's extend
the craniotomy a little.

Open her up more?

Yeah. It's okay.
Just a little.

Okay.

Here you go, doctor.

But I hear stories of people
waking up all the time.

Not this. Not brain death.

But... but he's still breathing.

The machine
is breathing for him.

- When we shut it off...
- He dies.

He... he's already...

Your husband has died.

Oh, good.

Okay, this is an E.E.G.

Uh, it's a brain scan
of another patient in a coma,

also ventilated.

These lines indicate
brain activity.

Um, you can see these spikes
going all the way.

If you take a look
at your husband's,

it's completely flat.

We've seen no brain activity
for the past 72 hours...

Just stop.

Well, I'm... I'm just
trying to explain...

Explain to me

how you can tell me
that he's dead

and then tell me to turn off
life-sustaining treatment.

Explain that.

S...

Sam, you can take your time.

This is a difficult decision.

You should just be with Michael
and take your time.

Take all the time you need.

Thank you.

It's okay.

It's okay.
I know how hard this is.

Like that?

Uh-huh. There it is.

Little bleeder.
Just cauterize.

Okay. Bipolar.

Here you go.

There. Okay.

Look at that.
That's her tumor.

What?

Oh, my God.
There it is.

Do we take it out?

Uh, we should, um...

Let's call O.R. two
and find out

how long
Dr. Shepherd's gonna be.

I mean, he said it would
be easy. That I-I could do it.

I know, and it's right there.

They said he's just finishing.

He'll be here any minute.

Okay. All right.
Well, let's just wait

and see what he says.

Okay.

Cord's clear.
Spine is stabilized.

- What do you think?
- Well, I think his motorcycle days are over.

Hopefully, he'll be able
to walk again.

Dr. Shepherd,

we need you in O.R. four.

It's Tommy. He's got
a grade-3 bleed.

- He needs a ventric placed.
- Karev, slow down.

Who is Tommy?

Uh, Morgan's baby.
The intern Morgan.

All right. Well, just give me
a second, to, uh, finish...

Can you come now?
Please.

Go. I'll finish.

Okay.

Where's your hot tourist?

Yeah, she's not here
for a tour.

I'm being set up.

My mom's trying to expand
the Avery dynasty.

You were supposed to tell her
we were busy.

You and Dr. hotness
should be getting busy,

if you get my point.

Actually, she should be
getting your point.

What are you, 12?

Why are you so obsessed
with me getting laid?

'Cause it works for me.

It's called passing on wisdom.

Also pimping.

She's here for one night.

No.

I am not going to give
my mother the satisfaction.

It's not your mother you should
be trying to satisfy.

Child!

Sam.

Is there...

Do you have any questions
I can answer?

No, thank you.

If you could stop circling
like a vulture,

I'd appreciate it.

Do you want me to talk to him?

No.

He just needs time
to grieve, you know,

to work through it.

He needs to think clearly.

He needs to understand
what has happened.

He's losing his husband.

They were going
to a grocery store,

just living their nice,
boring life,

going to the same store
they've gone to for 22 years,

and a car hits them.

Sam never saw this coming.

Like I said, I just...
I've taken some time

to get to know them...

Are you married? Um,
have you ever been married?

No.

Then stay out of it.

You have no idea
what you're talking about.

You don't know Sam.

You don't know the first thing
about what he needs.

There you are.

What are you doing here?

We're finished.
The cyst is draining.

She did great.

And get this...
Lexie resected the meningioma...

Perfect margins.

She was perfect.

You did what?

Took the tumor out.

Why the hell would you do that?

The plan was to remove
the cyst.

- She did not consent to that surgery.
- The tumor was right there.

Are we supposed to close her up

and put her through
another brain surgery?

You should've paged me.

I did, twice.
Derek, Lori is fine.

Lexie took her to recovery.
Her vitals are great...

We won't know how she is
until she wakes up.

I should've known better.

You should've known better.
Give me the scans.

I want to know everything
that you did in there.

Poor woman.

50 years old,

and she has to wear
adult diapers to go on a date.

Kind of takes the magic
out of...

"Let me change into something"

"a little more comfortable."

You're terrible.

She probably
saved herself some trouble.

By her age, all the good ones
are already snapped up.

Tragedy, isn't it?

Mm.

I'm ready with this new bladder

if anybody's interested.

Uh, yeah. Bring it
over here, Dr. Bailey.

Dr. Avery.

I seem to have lost track
of the other Dr. Avery.

May I scrub in with you?

No, you may not
scrub in with me.

I gave you a job to do,
Dr. Keaton.

But surely...

Do you want to go
to the benefit tonight or not?

Yes, ma'am. Of course.

Good. You lost him.
You go find him.

Benefit? Hmm.
Sounds like fun.

Fun? It's exhausting.

Once upon a time,
I was Catherine Fox.

Ever since
I've become an Avery,

every fund-raiser,
gala-charity brouhaha

that comes along,

I gotta squeeze
into some pantyhose,

get zipped into a couture gown
and represent,

and every time you go
into an O.R.,

they expect you to do

Harper Avery
award-winning work,

even though I can never win
a Harper Avery.

The name comes
with way too much pressure.

You can crumble under it,

burn out.

Happened to Jackson's father.

I do not want it
to happen to Jackson.

Yeah, it's a... it's a lot
to hold up.

Ohh.

Don't you wish you could
just go back sometimes?

I would love to just be
Catherine Fox all over again.

I was so much more fun
back then.

Oh, you're still fun now.

I am, huh?

Glad you noticed.

You try the cafeteria, too?

Jambalaya?

Disgusting.
Why do they even try?

April's got, uh, yogurt.

Ooh.

And leftover something.

So Lexie removed a tumor
from a woman today,

and now Derek's all worried
that we gorked her.

Mm. Did you?

No.

Well, I've spent
the entire morning

with Owen's stupid nurse.

Owen's nurse.

The stupid I.C.U. nurse.

Well, that's not what you said.

Oh, and you know what?
This is really good.

Kepner can cook.

Freakin' jambalaya day.

It's like
a hearty bowl of salmonella.

Hey, how long have you
been screwing the intern

with the preemie?
- What?

- Morgan?
- I am not.

Uh, well, you both were in
the on-call room this morning...

before dawn.

Yeah, studying.

- You're feeding her.
- Alex.

No. Bad dog.

Shut up. I mean,
she's... my intern

and she's a patient.

This is gonna turn out
like Rebecca.

Oh, yeah.
Smashed-up face?

Oh, that... that was bad.

Yeah, she's gonna fall for you,

and then she's gonna go crazy

and then she's gonna
pee on my couch.

Oh, gross.

Go to hell, the both of you.

Okay, just keep her
off my couch, please.

Are things with Owen
any better?

Is that my turkey casserole?

Oh, yeah.

How do you keep the crunchy
onion things so crunchy?

I put them in last.

Come on. I looked
forward to this all day.

Delicious.

Stop facebooking my mom,
all right?

Uh, I'm not.

Really? Then how does she know
I broke up with Lexie, hmm?

Why is she here
trying to hook me up

with some junior urologist?

Hey.

Hey, those are mine.
They have electrolytes.

I showed her around
half the damn hospital

before I realized
I was on a blind date.

You told me
to unfriend her. I did.

Hi. I'm looking
for Dr. Avery.

Oh, yes.
He's right there.

Oh. There you are.

Yeah.

Shall we continue?

Let's do that.

That's great.

Mm-hmm.

Cristina?

Drop it.

We were talking.

No, you were talking.
I said drop it.

I'm fine.

Everything is fine, really.

I thought we could check out
your cafeteria,

get a bite to eat, talk.

Listen, Dr. Keaton...

Mara.

Yeah, you're very nice, okay?

But I am not really interested.

I'm not sure what you mean.

Obviously my mom
thought there might be

some kind of connection
or something here,

but I'm sorry.

I'm just not looking for...

- A hookup?
- Or whatever.

I see.

You think I'm being served
to you

like a concubine?

No, I didn't...

I'm not here to service you,
Dr. Avery.

I'm here to serve your mother
for a grade.

And she has tasked me with
digging up as much as I can

about your boards,
your standing, your love life,

and when you're gonna stop
screwing around in plastics.

You're not a setup.
You're a spy.

I rank this task slightly above
wiping vomit from bedpans,

but your mother
is a very demanding woman,

and if you know anything
about her,

you know I can't go back
empty-handed.

So if you're really sorry

and not
just a presumptuous pig,

you would do a girl a solid,
and you will tell me

whatever it is
you want me to tell her.

And you can do it
in the cafeteria,

because I'm bloody starving!

Not a chance.
It's jambalaya day.

Come with me.

Where is Lexie?

I told her to go wait
for the labs.

It's going to be fine.

Oh, God, honey.

We're Lori's parents.

We were in Rome.
We just got here.

I'm Dr. Shepherd.
This is Dr. Grey.

How is she?

Lori's surgery went very well.

Her vitals are excellent.

We won't know more until
she comes out of the anesthesia.

Oh, she's starting
to come around.

Hey, Lori.
How are you doing?

Hmm? Let me look at you,
okay?

Well, responses are good.
Follow this for me. Up.

Down.

How you feelin'?

Honey, we're right here.

Hi.

Oh, that's a good sign.

Hi, sweetheart.

Wh...

Whu...

Whu... wro...

Wh...

Whu...

It's called aphasia.

The part of the brain
that helps control

how she forms words
was damaged in the surgery.

There is a chance,
with therapy,

that she will regain
some of her function.

Some?

What the hell
did you do to her?

Mr. Bosson...

I am sorry. I...

I had the best intentions.

It was an outcome
that I did not foresee.

I'm sorry.
I made a mistake.

We're suing you.

She's 27 years old.
You ruined her life.

- Honey, honey...
- We are going to sue you.

Honey, stop.
Lori can hear you.

It was my mistake.
You weren't even in the room.

My mistake was leaving you two
in there alone.

I can't believe
you would do this.

I thought, if you had
seen the tumor...

You didn't think at all.

Okay, it's my fault.
Let's just let it be my fault.

This will kill Lexie.

It'll destroy her confidence.

- Does she even have to know?
- Of course she does.

She's not strong enough.

Then she shouldn't be
a surgeon.

Hey, did she wake up yet?

I am telling you,

Dr. Webber was amazing.

He cradled your bladder
in those big ol' hands

like it was
his own little baby.

Oh, my God. Stop it.

And I said to him, I said,
"you got a fat, ugly baby."

Stop. I'm gonna pee.

- Ooh, wait.
- Mm.

I'm not gonna pee?

No, baby. You are not
going to pee.

I'm not gonna pee!

Oh, okay.

Wait, wait, wait.

- Oh.
- Here we go.

Okay.

Satisfied customer.

Ah. We are quite a team,
aren't we?

Hey.

You know what would
make this thing fun tonight?

If you came with me.

I've got Jackson coming,

but I'd much prefer
a grown-up along.

I-I wish I could.

Mm.

I-I mean, I really do, but...

You know what?

I'd be honored to join you.

- Yes.
- Okay.

Can you get a tux?

Sure.

Oh, this is gonna be
so much fun.

You have to stop

thinking of this
as giving up on Michael

and try to see it
as helping him.

Emily.

It's a hard step.

But it is his next step,

and he really needs you
right now.

How can I do this
when he said not to do it?

How?

It would've been better
if he died in the crash.

He'd be just as dead,

but you wouldn't be feeling
like this.

This way...

he's died in slow motion.

On Monday, his heart ruptured,

and I repaired it.

But on Tuesday,
his lungs collapsed.

By Thursday,
his kidneys failed,

and the sepsis and infection

took three more days
to kill his brain.

Sam...

if he had died in the crash
by the side of the road,

if you had seen him
zipped up in a bag

and driven off,

he would be every bit as gone
as he is right now,

but you would know it.

And you could take
some comfort in that.

I didn't know him.
You did.

But I would imagine
he would have wanted you

to have that comfort.

Bring me the papers.

You're an Oxford-educated
surgeon. Come on.

- I know!
- It's insulting.

You think I like
snooping around

after her slacker son?

Watch it.

The woman has
no sense of boundaries.

Yeah, she does.

She just hates boundaries
so she ignores them.

You gotta set boundaries
with her. You gotta tell her no.

- No.
- Have you met her?

She'll fire me.

No, actually,
she'll respect you.

You gotta tell her no, and then

when she gives you
those big, sad eyes...

No, she doesn't make
those eyes at me.

When she glares at you with
disgust and disappointment...

Bingo.

That's when you stick
to your guns.

I don't have guns.

I'm unarmed.

You are not unarmed.

You have guns.
I can tell.

When we took out the tumor,

we damaged Broca's area.

So she can understand speech

and she knows
what she wants to say,

but she can't say it.

Okay, well, just tell me
that he can fix it.

He can't.
It's irreparable.

What do you mean?
I mean...

She's not
gonna be able to talk?

She's 27. She...

He ha... he has to fix it.

I mean, there ha...
there has to be something.

There isn't.

I mean, this is my fault, too.

I shouldn't have let you do it.

Oh, God.

Oh, my God. She...

I... it... it... it... it...
it was right there.

And I mean, I-I-I never
would've done it if...

You saw it.
I mean...

I know. I know. You're not
gonna cry right now.

You're gonna go
and talk to Derek.

And he is gonna be pissed
and disappointed

and he's gonna scream at you

and he won't look at you
for days.

Just take it.

And you'll move on
and you'll learn from this

and you will never
make this mistake again.

Yeah, his heart's good.

Ventric's draining well.

And you got
2-for-1 surgeries.

Your son's a gold mine.

We're lucky to have you
as his doctor.

Since you're about to fail
your boards

and... work at a bar.

Stop saying that.

I'm gonna go see my boy.

You and Morgan a thing?

No. No.
Her dumbass boyfriend bailed.

She just needs someone
to keep an eye on her.

She's my intern.

Right.

You ever see
one of those gorillas

that likes to cuddle
the little kitten

and raises it as its own?

Unh-unh.

It's called imprinting.

The, uh, scared little kitten

lets the big gorilla cuddle it

because there's
no mama cat around

or, you know, the dumbass
cat boyfriend left town.

That...
This isn't that.

Watch out,

'cause... she's smitten.

She is not.
Y-you know what?

Go watch your animal channel
or whatever.

Big dumb gorilla.

Getting all ready
for your date?

It's not a date.

It's a function
with a colleague.

Mm-hmm.
Does she know that?

What do you mean?

I mean, the way you two

have been flirting
with each other all day.

I am not flirting.

Well, why do I feel like
I need a shower?

Are you suggest...

Look, I am a married man

with a wife in a nursing home.

I know that.

I am not... oh, God.

I love my wife, Bailey.

Oh, Dr. Webber,
I know you love your wife.

You're killing yourself
because you love your wife.

You're not getting any sleep,
you're trying so hard

to make sure she knows
she's loved.

G-give me that.

Come here.

You can give yourself a break.

Okay? Everybody in this hospital
flirts with everybody else.

It's fine.

You're a good man.

I know it.
We all know it.

But I don't know
if Dr. Winky pants knows it.

Well, I'm just sayin',
there's flirting for fun

and then there's flirting
for profit.

I know which one you're doing.

That's everything?

Uh, yes. It's just
a matter of time now.

Okay.

Uh...

thanks.

Damn you.

Damn you.

This is why it took me
three years

to tell you that I loved you

and another three years
before I moved in with you.

You thought I was scared
to commit?

I was scared of this...

scared of how much I loved you,

scared of the feeling

that I'd never be able
to find happiness without you.

That's what I was scared of.
I was scared of this.

This right here.

Oh...

Damn you.

Dr. Yang,
can I do anything?

Can you stop screwing
my husband?

Oh, my God.

I have no idea why I am
even bringing any...

Okay, you gotta listen.
You gotta listen, please.

Don't touch me.

I'm not... we're...

Dr. Hunt and I are...
are not...

I flirt with him.

I do. I'm a flirt.

It's just how I get through
a long shift.

But I flirt with everyone,
and I swear, it...

it does not mean anything,
and we have never done...

You switched to nights.

Well, I switched to nights
because my boyfriend...

I have a boyfriend. Here.

Here. Call him.
He'll tell you.

And do you want to... do you
want to look through

my text messages?
You can...

Stop. Just... stop.

Dr. Yang, I am so sorry.
He's just...

He's the chief.
I would never...

I swear.

I'm sorry.

You stick to your surgical plan.

You find a tumor,
you find anything...

You close up,
and you make a plan for that.

- I know. I-I-I know that.
- Do you?

Do you? Because if you had
taken the time to look,

you would have opted to approach
the tumor from this angle...

And Lori would be speaking
right now!

It's just stupid...

a stupid, arrogant mistake.

You stick to your...
you stick to your surgical plan.

You make
an incidental finding...

Don't you look fine?

Ahh.

Mom, Mara has something to say.

I...

I don't really.

Sure you do.

Dr. Avery and I
have decided

we won't be
joining you tonight.

Oh?

Unless, of course,
you really want me to, and...

Guns.

Since you brought me
across the country

to run a personal errand
for you

when I could've been gaining
valuable surgical experience...

There you go.

I've decided to take
the night off.

I'm going to do what
I want to do with my time

and you can just...

You want to stop right there.

Yeah, you're done.

So you captured my spy.

She will be very well treated.

Now you have fun.

Okay? Fly safe.
I love you.

Doctor.

Doctor.

Doctor.

I was gonna
uninvite you all anyway.

I have a date.

Rough day, big guy...

pericardial tumor
and a grade-3 bleed.

But you're still kickin'.

Hey, you about ready to go?

- Uh, almost.
- Uh, hey.

Can you take
another picture of us?

You know, just for me
to have tonight.

Of course.

Alex.

Get in here.

Oh, no, that's cool.
It's, uh...

Get... get over here.

Okay. One.

Two. Three.

All right.

Hey.

Ahh.

She's a smitten kitten.

You look lovely.

I thought you were gonna
stand me up.

Well, I'm afraid I am.

I'm sorry, Catherine.
I can't go.

Is this because I've been
flirting with you all day?

No. No.

Oh, come on, Richard.
You know I'm just having fun.

Your wife has nothing
to worry about.

My wife has Alzheimer's.

How bad?

It's bad.

She's in a care facility.

I go see her every night.

She usually doesn't know
who I am.

She knows I'm a friend, but...

she's not there.

And I miss her.
I miss...

laughing and talking.

I miss feeling like a man,

not just a friend.

Anyway, today,

I wasn't lonely.

Today I felt like a man.

And it felt good.

So...

I don't trust myself going to
dinner with you tonight.

And my wife needs me.

And I need to see my wife.

Richard,

you are...

a good man.

You know that?

I'm trying.

Thank you...

for a lovely day.

You sure you want to change?

We could go somewhere nice,

somewhere where
you could look that amazing.

Actually,

I'm really not that hungry.

No?

Could you
help me with my zipper?

Can you help me
a little bit more?

Our intentions are always pure.

We always want to do
what's right.

But we also have the drive
to push boundaries.

So we're in danger
of taking things too far.

We're told to "do no harm"

while we're trained to
cut you open with a knife.

Are you okay?

No.

Are you thinking about Lori?

This is why I can't
come back to neuro.

You can't even look at me.

It's no good for us.

I know.

You want to talk about it?

No.

Do you want to take
your mind off it?

No.

Do you want me
to leave you alone?

No.

So...

we do things...

when we should have left
well enough alone.

Because it's hard to admit when
there's no problem to treat...

Hey.

You're awake.

You didn't come home.

Yeah, there was a...

A bus crash or a train crash

or a patient crashed?

Yeah. Right.

To let it alone...

Why are you staring at me?

Well, I'm weighing how upset you are
and if I want to get into this.

You do.
You want to get into this...

- I'm tired and it's late.
- With me.

You know what?
That's the point.

It's always late,
and it shouldn't be.

And you should want
to get into it with me

but you don't.

I mean, where are you?

I am... I am here.

For God sake.

I'm right freakin' here.
I'm home.

No, you're not.

Before we make it
so much worse...

before we cause
such terrible damage.

You have to be honest with me

because I am going crazy here.

Do you, um,
do you love me anymore?

- It's not about if I...
- Owen, please answer the question.

I love you so much
that it hurts.

Okay.

Well, okay, then.
Then we can...

we can work on this.
We can talk.

You know, we...
we have to talk,

because I cannot
be like this anymore.

And I mean it
when I say that I'm going crazy,

'cause...

'cause that nurse Emily...

I mean, I-I accused her
of sleeping with you.

You what?

I'm... I'm sorry. I just...
I mean, I feel like...

my whole body feels like...

like you were cheating on me.

And then you come home and you
tell me that you love me,

and I'm...
I'm... I'm... I'm relieved.

I mean, I'm so relieved
because...

Stop. Stop.

I said I love you so much
that it hurts.

Okay.

I said...

it hurts...

to love you.

Just say it.

I'm not cheating on you
with Emily.

Okay.

But I did cheat on you.
