MIRANDA: Infections are like
sleeping monsters.


You can't see them.

- You can't feel them.
-(ELEVATOR BELL DINGS)

But...

You must do everything in your power...

To contain them.

Because when the monsters wake up...

They're out of control.

- Hey.
- Bailey, you shouldn't be here.

How is Seth Lepik?
The computer says access restricted.

They won't even let me
check on my own patients.



They swabbed my nose.

They're swabbing everyone's noses.

Well, are they sitting
everybody down for interviews?

'Cause they think
I did something wrong.

Now I think it's the grafts.

- I narrowed it down to...
- Look, Bailey,

they've isolated the strain
of staph in your patients.

Now they need to find out how it spread.

- Your job is to cooperate. I've got Seth.
-(MUTTERS)

Now go answer their questions.

- Please.
-(GRUNTS)

We are throwing Bailey under the bus.

Come on. That is not what we're doing.

Yeah, it seems like
that's exactly what we're doing.



Two of our patients are dead
of the same post-op infection.

A third one's barely hanging on.
It was time.

We get the CDC In here
and figure this thing out.

By treating Bailey like a criminal?

- She hasn't done anything.
- I hope that you're right.

The truth is, we don't know that yet.

CDC is simply asking us
to temporarily freeze Bailey's files.

Oh, come on.

And that we not discuss
this investigation with her.

So today, just keep your distance.

That is ridiculous.

Also I think now's the time
to put out a statement.

ALL: No, no.

No. About what?
I mean, we don't even know

if Bailey's the source of this thing.

If one of ours is at fault
and we just sit on this information,

we look like we're trying
to cover something up.

The only way to let the public know

that we can be objective
is by being transparent.

Vote?

I'm just saying,
people should learn the news from us.

- There's no news.
- Okay, vote?

- There's no news yet.
- Vote.

All in favor of no press release.

Okay. No press release. No statement.
Clear?

Oh!

- Watch it, members only.
-(MAN SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY)

Promise me you'll be nice.

These guys are trying
to take down Bailey.

They don't deserve nice.

No, not to the CDC. To Jason.

I'm nice to Jason.

Two minutes ago, you said,
(DEEPENED VOICE) "Hey, I have

"a surgery today
with your d-bag boyfriend."

Yeah, but I said it with a smile.

Fine. I won't call the guy a d-bag.

At least not to his face, anyway.

I'm moving in with him.

So what do you think?

- I think it's great.
- Really?

No. I think the guy is a douche bag

who you've known
for about two minutes,

and that makes you an idiot
for moving in with him.

- Alex...
- I'll be nice!

I'm gonna rock this corner kick.

Later, I promise.
Right now I have a surprise for you.

- Look who's here.
- Grandma!

Oh.

(SOBBING) Oh, Ethan.
Oh, Ethan. Ethan.

-(COMPUTER BEEPS)
- As you can see,

there aren't any residual
effects from the surgery.

So, I can go home?

Well, I'd like to keep an eye
on you for another few days.

(CHUCKLES) Well, we can handle
a few more days.

Right, buddy?

Hey, Grandma, do you want to see Dad?
I can take you.

Oh, uh, is that...

- Can he?
- Sure, sure.

He sees his dad every day.
He chats up a storm.

He told him
all about you coming to visit.

Dad's still unconscious.
That's because his brain is resting.

It's not uncommon after a trauma
for a person not to wake up right away.

You shouldn't have to know
about these things, Ethan.

Well, he does, and I think it's cool

that he's trying to help Paul
by learning all about his illness.

And speaking of Paul,
I'd like to see him, too.

If that's all right?

Ethan, do you feel up to

pushing your mom around
in a wheelchair?

- Oh, yeah.
-(CHUCKLES)

DEREK: All right.
Let me get one for you.

(WHISPERS INDISTINCTLY)

Oh.

Murphy?

I'm not supposed
to talk to you about this.

Dr. Bailey.

Come in.

Tell me there is

someone down here that I can help.

It's five against one
with the board today,

and I need a victory.

Bed three. Femur's broken.
I'm sending him up to angio.

- APRIL: Okay.
- Alert the press.

See what I mean?

(TABLET BEEPING)

You all right?

Matthew dumped me.

Oh.

Because I lied to him about my virginity
like you told me to.

That's not...

I lied because
I had something to lie about.

- April, hold on a second...
- You took my...

I shouldn't have let you,
but I did, and now he's gone.

I'm not board certified, I'm not a virgin,

and everything I care about
has been ruined because of you.

So you know what? Thank you.
Thanks for that.

- Six against one.
-(HORN HONKING)

MAN: Help! Yeah, help!
We need some help over here!

- Jane, honey, you okay?
- No!

- What happened?
- God, I'm gonna pass out.

We lost some fingers. A lot of fingers.

We had a tug-of-war.

With what, razor wire?

Even better. Clothesline.

Does anybody
have the severed fingers?

Yeah, I got 'em. I got 'em.

APRIL: Whoa! That's a lot of fingers.

Yeah, I counted six.

No, five. This one's a turkey dog.

(APRIL GROANS)

I would like you
to take me through each operation.

Well, I mean, if you're
looking for the source,

look at the grafts.

Okay?
I used the same ones on each patient.

This part of our investigation

concerns your interaction
with the infected patients

in the operating room,
to the best of your memory.

Well... I'd never used this brand before.

I remember not recognizing
the company.

Dortmund or something.

Dr. Bailey,

we've looked at the grafts.
It's not the grafts.

(HUFFS) Uh...

May I begin?

(CLICKS BUTTON)

(EXHALES)

Oh, I was expecting a probing.

That's really more of a gentle swabbing.

Speaking of probing,
I've decided to have the baby naturally,

but I know the second I start to scream,

Derek is gonna have them
pump me full of drugs,

so I'm going to need you there
in my corner.

Yeah. Uh, I'm not gonna do that.

When babies come out,
people poop on the table.

- Cristina...
- Uh, no.

Karev. And can you make it fast?

Peckwell's HLHS mom
is gonna be admitted.

We gotta go walk her
through the procedure.

- She wants me to watch her give birth.
- You're gonna poop on the table.

I am not.

You are. Almost everybody does.

Okay, so I poop on the table.
It's part of the miracle of life.

It's nasty.

Did I ask you to watch me give birth?

No.

- Cristina?
- We have been friends a long time.

You want to know how?

By not watching each other poop.

Holla.

Well, the good news is,
these wounds look salvageable.

I wasn't even gonna play,
but my brother AI insisted.

And then we were losing,
and AI was all...

"Wrap your hands with the rope"...

Then I did.

What are you doing?

Uh, I just need to identify
whose fingers are whose.

That looks like a pretty good match.

Except for the red nail polish.

- Yes.
- That's my sister-in-law's.

Jane, good news.
Your manicure's intact.

Hi, Jane. I'm Dr. Avery.

You mind if I take a look here?

How's my daughter, Frances?

- Tony, how's Frankie?
- It's bad, honey.

- The bone's still sticking out.
-(GRUNTS)

This is all Gigantor's fault.
What's he doing at our reunion anyway?

He's not even related.

He's Uncle Tony's weird friend.

(VOICE BREAKING)
I didn't mean to pull so hard.

Lay off Gunnar, Cash. It's not his fault.

He didn't suggest to play
tug-of-war with a clothesline.

You want to blame somebody,
blame your uncle AI.

Okay, Kellers, I'm back
and I'm armed with French fries.

- Huh? Any takers?
-(GROANING)

We can't eat, AI.

We're just about to get
our fingers reattached.

Okay, uh, anybody cold?
I can find blankets.

Stop, AI! Just stop!

Nobody's hungry or thirsty
or wants to run a relay race!

Reunion's over.

CALLIE: Okay, Frankie.
I'm gonna need to get some x-rays.

You gonna be okay being away
from your family

-for a little while?
-(PANTS)

Yes, please.

Yeah. Okay. (CHUCKLES)

Dr. Hunt says
it's good to talk to him, too.

(MONITOR BEEPING RHYTHMICALLY)

Hey, babe. (CHUCKLES)

Sorry I haven't
been by to see you, but...

Well, I've been kinda busy
with the brain surgery and all.

Rachel.

Don't. Don't do that.

Don't joke.

I gotta be honest with ya, babe.

You've looked better. (CHUCKLES)

Me? Well...

I haven't looked this good
since that summer

that we went to the river
and I got that stomach bug

and I lost, like, 15 pounds.
(CHUCKLES)

You're missing it.

(SOBBING) Stop it.

It's not funny.

None of this is funny.

My son is dying.

He's not dying.

We are along way off from that.

I know that this may look bad, but you...

It should be me.

RACHEL: Hey, Ethie.

Why don't we give Grandma
a little one-on-one time with Pop?

You want to take me for a spin?

I think that's a great idea. Go on.
Give her the nickel tour.

All right?

Can I hold him after he's born?

Just for a minute.

Uh, he's gonna need
to go right into surgery.

Your baby has hypoplastic
left heart syndrome

and an intact atrial septum

that is causing
a restriction to blood flow.

He's fine when he's in utero,
but once he's out...

The condition is fatal.

JASON: Which means he won't
be getting enough oxygen.

We'll let you hold him when he's stable,

-after his surgery.
- ALEX: Okay.

So we'll do the C-section,

and then we'll have 60 minutes
to get him to the oath lab

and perform the operation
to open his septum.

And if you don't make it in time,
he could die?

CRISTINA: No, we can do
the C-section in the oath lab.

It'll give us more time.

Deliver in one room
and operate in the other.

Can you do that?

I don't see why not.

There are about 1,000 reasons why not.

You know, people have babies
all over the place.

Taxi cabs, high school bathrooms.

If we don't have to waste time

moving the kid from
one floor to another,

why should we?

Because you don't do C-sections
in Cath labs.

- Oh, Karev, back me up.
- I'm with Peckwell.

Not my name, but okay.

ALEX: This whole situation is high risk.

If something goes wrong,

we don't have the tools
on hand to deal with it.

Are your tools glued to the floor?

Bring them with you.

Okay, we have an opportunity here

to do something new

and badass.

I mean, don't you want to be the badass

who delivers the kid in a oath lab?

Who does that?

Nobody... But you.

Okay-

Okay, I'm in.

All right. Karev, you with Peckwell?

- Myers. Dr. Jason Myers.
- Nobody cares. Karev?

All right. I'm good.

Sounds like one nasty tug-of-war.

It was the height of idiocy,
which is saying a lot for my family.

I'm a journalist.

I cover the sophomore beat
for my school paper.

And they chose me to edit
the spring supplement this weekend,

but my parents told me
I had to go to this stupid reunion,

that it was more important to pretend
not to hate people I hate.

And now my hand is ruined
and my career is over.

Whoa. Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Your hand is going to be just fine.

I will see to that.

Okay? And... (CHUCKLES)

You have lots of time
to worry about your career.

- Okay?
- Okay.

All right. So do you have
any questions before we start?

Just one. Someone took my cell phone.

- Can I get that back?
- Sure. Right after the scan.

And I have a follow-up.
What's the CDC doing here?

Okay, we're gonna lie down now.

Good. All right. Try to stay still.
Try to stay still.

- Thank you.
- MAN: Okay, beginning with Joyce.

Joyce Basche,
I placed an AV graft for hemodialysis.

Take me through that.

I made an incision
over the radial artery and basilic vein...

I'm sorry.

I'm going to ask you
to go back a little further.

Did you scrub?

Did I scrub?

For how long did you scrub, roughly?

Four minutes, 36 seconds, exactly.

- You're sure about that?
- I am.

I used Think, The Aretha Franklin song.

I run it in my head.
It's two minutes, 18 seconds.

Hospital protocol
is a four-minute scrub,


so I go through it twice.

(SOUL MUSIC PLAYING)

MAN: And the scrub nurse who handed
you your instruments, that was?


MIRANDA: Fran.
She was right across from me.


MAN: Well, now the graft is in place,
and you secure.


MIRANDA: I did a standard vascular
anastomosis with running profane.


I checked for leaks. There were none.

And you closed or Dr. Murphy?

Wait. The doppler.

I confirmed good flow with the doppler.

Then I closed.

And it went perfectly.

All right. Anything else you remember?

I remember saying,
"That went perfectly."

All right. Let's move on to Seth Lepik.

(INHALES DEEPLY)

(WOMAN CRIES)

(SOFTLY) I got this.

(NORMAL VOICE)
What the hell's going on?

These guys won't tell us anything.

- Sir...
- I want my son outta here.

I want him transferred
to another hospital right now.

I understand. I'll have to tell you,

moving Seth now would put him

at greater risk for more complications.

If we're hoping to avoid
another surgery...

You're damn right, we are.

You're not touching my son again.

(SIGHS)

See what you can do
to arrange a transfer.

Hey, Myers set up
for the C-section in the oath lab.

We need to run through
the steps of the procedure.

Look at you. "Myers."

You say it
like he isn't nailing your girlfriend.

She's not my girlfriend.

Whatever. You love her.

She's my friend.

You sound stupid when you say that.

She's moving in with the guy.

What am I supposed to do?

Beat him up.

No. I'm gonna try to be nice
to him and get along

so I don't lose my friend.

Or you could punch him
and take back your girl.

- ARIZONA: Ouch.
- I know, right? And it's a kid.

Listen, I'm gonna take her up
for surgery,

and I was hoping
that you'd want to assist.

Oh, last time I checked,
I was a world-class peds surgeon,

and interns assisted attendings.

They do, it's just...

(SOFTLY)
I want someone in there I can trust.

You know, I want to avoid
a Bailey situation.

(NORMAL VOICE)
Plus, you're cute when you irrigate.

(GIGGLES) Sold.

Oh, the kid's gonna ask
for her phone back. Stall her.

She's gonna tweet about
the investigation. She's a journalist.

For what, like, the Sunshine
Elementary newsletter?

(LAUGHS) She's, like, nine.

Hi, Frankie.

Hey, have you found my phone yet?

Uh, not yet. So this is Dr. Robbins.

She's gonna assist me in surgery.

Now your hand
was pretty badly crushed

from the trampling,
so it's gonna mean an extensive surgery

to repair these bones here and here

and fixate these.

Oh, my God.

It's gonna be okay, though, right?

I mean, she's gonna be able to,
you know, use her hand?

Oh, that's the goal.

Sweetie, I'm gonna go tell
your mom you're gonna be okay.

Okay-

- Okay.
- It's worse than we thought, honey.

All right, so do you have any questions
before we take you up?

- No.
- Okay.

Actually, I do have one.

The CDC is investigating Dr. Bailey

because several
of her patients died, right?

Um, who told you about Dr. Bailey?

I asked an orderly. Oh, shoot.

I mean, I can't reveal my sources.
(CHUCKLES)

But you just confirmed it for me,

-so you can be my second source.
- Oh, no, I didn't.

- That's Dr. Robbins?
- Hey!

(BEEPING)

What are you doing?

Checking Bailey's post-ops.

I thought Richard
was taking care of Bailey's patients.

Just Seth Lepik, the infected guy.
I took the rest.

Bailey's patients
are all turning up with staph.

You're pregnant. Why take the risk?

Because I'm looking out for Bailey.

And I'm trying to look out for you.

This is why I need Cristina in the room.

- What room?
- The delivery room.

Wait. What?

Hey. Hey, hey, hey.

On-call room, you and me?

(CHUCKLES) Oh, I Wish.

Uh, but I have
an atrial septostomy with Karev.

But after I save a baby's life,
I'm gonna need to celebrate.

Okay. Well, find me.

Oh, how is the grandma?

Uh, she's sweet, but useless.

Rachel's doing better, though,
so at least Ethan's got her.

Paul's gonna wake up.

I've been doing serial neuro exams.
I have a good feeling.

Spoken like a true scientist.

Thank you.

Thank you for having a good feeling.

Anytime.

Oh, Mer asked me to be at her birth
and watch her poop on a table.

You have to do that.

Can't I just show up after

when everyone has control
of their bowels?

Watching a baby be born
is like seeing God in person.

(BELL DINGS)

Spoken like a true scientist.

I used

scissors to shorten the graft to fit.

Took about a centimeter off.

I remember,
Mr. Lepik had deep vessels.


Uh, so I asked Fran for more retraction.

MAN: I'm sorry. Fran?

You named Linda

as your scrub nurse
on Mr. Lepik's surgery.


Yes. Yes, right. Sorry. Um...

Then I finished the graft, and I closed.

(CLEARS THROAT)

Well, what about the leak?

According to Mr. Lepik's chart,

there was a small leak
on the venous side.


Yes. Lepik.

Yes. Uh, he had a leak.

Um, and I put in an interrupted stitch.

- You remember that?
- Yes, I remember.

I irrigated with antibiotic solution

to avoid infection, then I closed.

You closed? That's important.

I did. I closed.

You're sure? Because your...

Did you put the cap on the toothpaste?

Sorry?

I assumed you brushed
your teeth this morning.

So did you put the cap back on
the toothpaste or didn't you?

Or can you be sure?

Because when you do a thing
every single day...

Dr. Bailey, we're talking
about the lives of two people.

What, you don't think I know that?

Don't insult me.
These are my patients who died.

You think I don't know that
far, far better than you?

So again, uh, are you sure you closed?

Could I take a break, please?

There's only a little more to, uh...

Do.

WOMAN ON PA:
Dr. Reynolds to ICU.


Dr. Reynolds to ICU.

Hey. Is your interview over?

We're on a break. Wait. Wait.

Aren't you supposed
to be avoiding me like the plague?

Come on. What can I do to help?

- Anything?
-(EXHALES)

I just want to know how Seth Lepik is.

I'd like to see his chart,
but they locked me out of the system.

JACKSON: Dr. Grey.

(SIGHS)

She wants to check on her patients.

What do you think she's gonna do,
alter their charts?

That's what the CDC is gonna think, yes.

Well, maybe you called them too soon.

I am thinking of the bigger picture here.

She's part of that picture.

We need to stand by our doctors.

Even if she's at fault?
We stand by her then?

She's not.

But we should cross that bridge
when we get to it.

We're kind of at that bridge.

Uh, excuse me, Dr. Avery?

Yes.

Sorry to bug you, but

I was just kind of wondering, is there

any update on my family...

- Or their fingers?
-(OBJECTS CLATTER)

Mom? Mom!

Somebody help my mom!

- MAN: What's wrong?
- Mom?

WOMAN: She needs some help.
Uh, ma'am?

- Hey, what's your mom's name?
- Rachel.

Dr. Bailey,
step away from the patient, now.

Okay, let's clear the wheelchair
and the tables.

- WOMAN: I got it.
- Make room.

Okay, lay her down. All right. All right.

(RACHEL GRUNTING)

- Call a code.
- MAN: Right away.

- Mom!
- Page Dr. Shepherd, stat.

WOMAN: Yes, doctor.

(MONITOR BEEPING RHYTHMICALLY)

Okay, Amelie, here we go.

Scalpel.

It's gonna be okay, honey.

But what if it's not?

Shh.

AMELIE: No! Stop.

I can't do this.

Not right now.

His heart is okay now.

And you all know that
when he comes out,

it's going to stop working.

(SOBBING) I'm not ready for him to die.

Amelie, honey...

No.

Look at me. Look in my eyes.

You have to do this.

Your baby's life depends on it,

and you are wasting time.

We're all here.

We're all doing our best
to save your baby's life.

Breathe with me.

(BOTH INHALE DEEPLY)

(BOTH EXHALE DEEPLY)

Okay. One more time. One more time.

(BOTH INHALE DEEPLY)

(BOTH EXHALE DEEPLY)

You can do this.

Right?

Right.

(AMELIE EXHALES)

She's ready.

FRANKIE: Just confirm
what I have so far.

There's some kind of an infection

going on in the hospital
linked to Dr. Bailey.

-(CALLIE SIGHS DEEPLY)
- You don't even have to say anything.

You can just nod if I'm close.

- Let it go, Woodward.
-(CHUCKLES)

- Who's Woodward?
-(SCOFFS)

Uh, you should know that.

You should give me back my phone.

You're denying
my second amendment right.

- Wait. You want a gun now?
-(CHUCKLES)

Duh. First. I meant
first amendment, obviously.

Look, there's this girl named KK.

Who wrote an article about some bird

that everyone thought was extinct

living in her backyard.

It got picked up by the AP,

and now she's a stringer for the Times.

This is a real story.

I mean, I have an opportunity
here to be awesome.

ARIZONA: Why don't you
count backwards from ten?

- Mmm-hmm.
- Okay?

Ten...

Nine...

You're obstructing the free press.

What's after nine?

- Eight...
-(HISSING)

Seven...

What are we gonna do
when she wakes up,

roll her up in a rug and stick
her in the trunk of a car?

(LAUGHS)

(SIGHS)

AMELIE: Is he okay? Is he alive?

He's beautiful.

(SOBS) Thank you.

I got him.

Please save my baby!

Let's move, people.

- MAN: Coming through. Clear the way!
- Shepherd?

Her pupil's blown.
She's re-hemorrhaged.

- I need to get her to an OR.
- What the hell happened?

- I'll let you know when I know.
-(MAN SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY)

- Okay, let's go.
- MAN: Check her pressure.

I'll see you up there.

Hey. Hey.

She's gonna be okay.

We've got her and we're gonna
take care of you.

Hey, hey. Room 10-24.

She's gonna take you to your grandma.

Wait for me there.

Come on. This way.

-(MONITOR BEEPING ERRATICALLY)
- What is it?

He's dropped his pressure.
I can't hear breath sounds on the right.

Okay, run fluids wide open.
Get me a chest tube tray, fast.

WOMAN: Right away, Doctor.

CRISTINA: In the vena cava.

What is the oxygen saturation?

Thirty-five.

Inside the right atrium.

Nobody move. Nobody breathe.

WOMAN: Oh, Seth.

MAN: Oh, dear God.

Chest tube, now.

Hold on.

(CONTINUES SOBBING)

Hold on.

(BEEPING CONTINUES)

(PANTING)

Perforating the septum.

Why isn't the blood going through?

Because I'm not through.
Just give me a minute.

Now I'm through.

Man, I'm good. (GIGGLES)

(ELEVATOR BELL DINGS)

(SIGHS)

(seas)

So my mom's dead?

Yes.

But Dr. Shepherd said she was
getting better this morning.

Yes, but there was something
going on in her brain that was...

Sudden and couldn't be prevented.

There was no way of knowing
that this was going to happen.

Could it have been the ice cream?
Like a brain freeze?

No. No.

Ethan...

There was nothing
anyone could have done

to have stopped this.

(SOBBING)

Well, I need to go now to my grandma.

She needs someone to hold her hand.

(SIGHS AND SNIFFLES)

(WHISPERS) I'm so sorry. (SOBBING)

(EXHALES DEEPLY)

(WOMAN SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY
OVER PA)

All right, Deedee and Jane's
surgeries both went very well.

They'll be in recovery soon.

Cash is still in surgery,
and Dr. Torres is in with Frankie now.

Her fractures were complicated,

but hopefully, with therapy,
she'll regain full use of her hand.

Therapy?

How much therapy?

Well, that's hard to say now, Tony.

But it could be anywhere from
six months to a year.

You hear that?

A year of physical therapy, AI.

And then she might get
full use back. Might.

Well...

Let's look at the bright side now...

The bright side? Everyone is mangled.

Well, not Frankie.

She got lucky.

She's still got all her digits, Tone.

Her hand was crushed!

I know. It's horrible. I know it. And...

And I'm sorry, but, hey, well...

We're all here for you.
And that's why we're a family, right...

(CHUCKLES) For stuff like this?
Hey. Come on, huh?

(LAUGHS)

- Mr. Keller.
-(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)

Let me get a look here. You all right?

I think I broke my hand.

RICHARD: He's not stabilizing.
He needs surgery immediately.

No, not in this cesspool.

An ambulance is coming for him.

No, he's too unstable to transfer.

I'm canceling all...

You guys have some infection
running rampant.

It's not safe.

It's not the hospital. It's one doctor.

The infection came from
one doctor and one doctor alone.

She's been isolated
and the infection has been contained.

I've been tested. I'm clean.
The OR has been tested. It's clean.

If we don't go right now,
your son's gonna die.

(WOMAN GASPS AND WHIMPERS)

-(SOBS)
-(MAN SIGHS)

MAN: Do what you have to.

Save my son.

You cleared to scrub in?

Yes, sir. They cleared me this morning.

Okay, prep him.

So Bailey did do something wrong.

Of course not. I only said that
to get their kid into surgery,

and if you repeat it,
I'll have your ass fired

before you finish talking,
you understand?

WOMAN ON PA: Dr. Rizzo to the ER.
Dr. Rizzo to the ER.


Baby's looking good.

Heart function's hypokinetic
but improving.

Yang says that's to be expected.

That Yang's a piece of work.

Yeah. Well, try living with her.

(CHUCKLES)

Listen, man, I appreciate
your work today.

I think this thing with Jo
got us off on a bad foot.

She cares a lot about you.

We're friends. That's all.

All right. All right.

(MONITOR BEEPING RHYTHMICALLY)

I had a messed-up childhood, too.

I was a foster kid like her. It was crappy.

But I didn't have it near
as bad as Jo did.

I was never homeless,
never had to live in my car.

But she's really
turned it around for herself.

And I just...

I want the best for her, is all.

Yeah, okay.

Yeah. Thanks for today.

(INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS)

(ALL TALKING
AND LAUGHING INDISTINCTLY)

Every year, it keeps on getting
harder and harder to plan these things

and to get everyone to come.

Why do it?

It doesn't seem like
they appreciate it much.

They're all that I have.

I almost got married a few times,
but I always messed it up.

My family is Tony and Jane
and Deedee and Cash and...

Everybody else out there.

And I'm just meant to be... (CHUCKLES)

Annoying uncle AI.

Well, you'll think
of something for next year.

I mean, you just gotta...
Just gotta keep trying.

Do I have the staph strain?

I'd like to start again
with Seth Lepik, please.

I made a small transverse incision,

minimal blood loss.

I deepened the incision
into the subcutaneous tissue,


asked for retraction.

-(MONITOR BEEPING ERRATICALLY)
- BP was good. All vitals were good.

BP's 90 over 60 and falling.

-(GROANS) More laps.
- WOMAN: There you go.

- Suction.
- MIRANDA: You tested me for staph.

Can I get those results, please?

There was a leak on the venous side?

There was a leak on the venous side,
a little blood loss.

But very little.

Now just can you get me
my results, please?

- Come on. More. More. Pile 'em in.
-(MONITOR BEEPING ERRATICALLY)

- WOMAN: Yes, doctor.
- Look, I gotta try and find it. Hold on.

-(GRUNTS)
-(BEEPING CONTINUES)

More suction.

MAN: Just again, I'd like you
to take me through...


Okay, I can take you through
my scrub technique

and how I hold my instruments.

But the only thing you need to know

is do I have this staph infection.

You should know that by now.

RICHARD: More lap pads. More.

(MONITOR BEEPING ERRATICALLY)

Okay, more suction. Right there.

-(SUCTION GURGLING)
-(GRUNTS) Come on.

(BEEPING CONTINUES)

MIRANDA: Other doctors
have been cleared.


So why am I going through this?

Just go down there and get my results.

You have my results?

You have my results,

and I...

Have this strain of staph?

Did I do this?

I did...

Didn't I?

I'll be there in the room

-(SIGHS) when fetus arrives.
- You will?

Yeah. You're gonna want me there.

Okay-

You're gonna poop on the table,
though.

And I'm gonna have to see it,

and then I can never unsee it.

You know what's worse
than you seeing me poop on the table?

What?

Me knowing you've seen me
poop on the table.

- So you'll suffer more than me.
- Yes!

Oh, okay. That makes me feel better.

-Hey.
-Hey.

I'm sorry. I heard about Paul's wife.

Yeah. I appreciate that.

(TABLET BEEPS)

Are you angry with me?

No. No. I just...

I'm angry at the situation.

Okay, well, you know, after this,

let's just go home, and then I
can make some dinner...

No, I'm gonna stay.

I'm gonna stay just in case
Paul's condition changes

or if the kid needs...

You know, I just...
I just don't feel like I can leave,

you know?

I mean...

What would you do?

I would go home,

because I'm his doctor, not his family.

Yeah.

I'm gonna stay.

Okay. I understand.

(MONITOR BEEPING RHYTHMICALLY)

Come to see
your boyfriend's miracle baby?

Why did you tell him that?

What?

That I'm a homeless dumpster diver.
I don't tell anyone.

You don't tell people about me.

- You told me...
- Yeah, it's called a secret, Alex.

It's what friends tell each other.

Look, what's the deal?
What did he say?

Why'd I tell you? So stupid.

What is the point of a new start

if there's always some dumb-ass
dragging you back down?

- Whoa, whoa. Listen.
- No, you listen.

You don't tell people about me.
You don't talk about me or to me, ever.

MAN: Our investigation
has determined the presence

of methicillin-resistant
staphylococcus aureus usa600.

(HINGES SQUEAK)

Bailey...

Oh, Dr. Bailey, you should
not be here right now.

This is about me.

I'd like to hear it.

(SIGHS)

That's your call.

We have a protocol for a reason.

Okay, we vote.

She stays.

Staph aureus usa600
is an antibiotic-resistant infection

with a range of symptoms
from simple skin rashes

to fatal sepsis.

We have traced the source
of the infection to one doctor.

Dr. Miranda Bailey

is a carrier of mrsa usa600.

But the real culprit here is the gloves.

Records show
the surgical gloves in use

at the time of outbreak, March 15,

shipped from the manufacturer
Hemming Synthetics Incorporated.

We switched to Hemming's
gloves when Pegasus was here.

MAN: Our testing reveals
manufacturing defects.

Microscopic tears in the gloves,
which facilitated

the transmission of staph usa600

to Dr. Bailey's patients.

It is the CDC's determination,

were it not for the defective gloves,

the patients in question
would not have been infected.

As for Dr. Bailey, we recommend
eradication measures

before she can go back
to any kind of patient care.

- All right.
- Thank God.

Best possible outcome.

(DOOR OPENS)

(DOOR CLOSES)

Here are copies of our report.

The CDC thanks you
for your time and cooperation.

- And please...
-(EXHALES)

Feel free to call my office
if you have any questions.

OWEN AND CALLIE: Thank you.

(ON TV) You've harmonized now.
Drink it all.


(GULPING)

You seem more like
the French cinema type.

I'm just a teenager.

Mmm-hmm.

(TV PLAYING INDISTINCTLY)

What's this?

It's a press release.

We're putting it out in the morning,

which means you have 12 hours
to scoop the Times.

Or the AP. Or whatever.

(LAUGHS)

Hey.

Be awesome.

(BOTH LAUGH)

Wait. I have a question.

(EXHALES DEEPLY) One.

And I have a follow-up.

(LAUGHS)

Turns out Bailey wasn't
at fault. Defective gloves.

I heard. That's great.

Yeah.

You know what?

I spent my entire day getting
treated like the bad guy here.

I'm not gonna do this with you anymore.

You want to feel guilty
about what we did? Go ahead.

Just leave me out of it.

(SCOFFS)

I didn't force you to do anything.

I'm sorry that you're hurt. Okay?

I'm sorry that Matthew
broke up with you.

As far as us sleeping together,
I'm never gonna be sorry about that.

MATTHEW: April?

Anyway. Good night.

I'm sorry.

What? No.

No, no. I am sorry.

You have nothing to be sorry about.

No, you made a mistake
and you asked for a do-over.

Well, I made a mistake, too.

I was hurt and I acted like an idiot.

(HUFFS)

I was hoping...

You could forgive me,
that I could have a do-over.

(EXHALES DEEPLY)

Yes.

(EXHALES)

(SIREN WAILING)

(WOMAN SHOUTS INDISTINCTLY)

It could have happened
to any one of us, Bailey.

We'll get you treated, get you cleared...

- I killed two patients.
- No.

You didn't know.

You scrubbed properly, you gloved...

How's Seth Lepik?

I lost him.

(EXHALES)

The infection formed an abscess that...

(WHIMPERS)

Eroded into his innominate vein.

(SOBBING)

I'm so sorry.

Bailey, how can I...

No! Now you want to help me?

Where were you
when my patient was alive,

when I could've helped him?

You shut me out. You left me.

Bailey, I was trying to protect you.
That's all.

No, no, the hospital.

You were trying to protect the hospital.

It's all that matters to you.

And I don't know why I'm so surprised.

Adele complained about that
every time I saw her.

And I protected you.

I made excuses to her for you.

- I stood by you.
- Bailey.

No, you were a drunk.

You were operating
on your patients drunk,

and I stood by you.

I expected the same from you.

I deserved it. I earned it.

But all you cared about...

No.

You...

Are not who I thought you were.

DEREK: But I am going to be in there.

I know. You'll be looking into my eyes

and holding my hand
and feeding me ice chips,

and that's just where
I want you, just there.

Cristina can run interference

and handle the bossy nurses,

and if I decide I want drugs...

Fine. Whatever you want.

(KISSES)

Or if I poop on the table...

If you what?

MIRANDA: All that time you spent
convincing yourself


the sleeping monster wasn't real...

-(KNOCK ON DOOR)
- Yeah.

It was gathering strength.

- Oh, crap. It's you.
-(SIGHS)

The infection was spreading.

What's the matter?

You were right... About Jo.

Of course I was.

What did I say again?

- Forget it.
- Oh, Alex. (LAUGHS)

(SIGHS)

I'm such an idiot.

I love her.

(SIGHS)

What?

Just...

You're weird.

Give it a minute.

(SIGHS DEEPLY)

It's just...

She just...

But I always screw myself
out of everything good.

(SIGHS)

I think I'm losing Owen.

What?

Not today, but...

Soon.

The monster's awake now.

And there's nothing
you can do about it.
