Are you wondering how healthy the food you are eating is? Check it - foodval.com
---
Now Mr. Linzer hates the food,
so he will tell you he feels fine.
He does not feel fine.
And if you release him
before his I.N.R. stabilizes,
he will bleed to death.
Murphy's gonna
keep an eye on him.
I am gonna keep
an eye on him.
Mrs. Gellman's still intubated,
but I want the tube out by Monday.
Have the nurses page you as soon
as she starts breathing on her...
I will ask them myself.
Oh, it's not too much for you?
- Not at all.
- And yet, you're trying to
fob it off to Petunia here,
with her years and years
of experience in critical care.
I want you to relax on your honeymoon.
I thought that you'd be reassured
by having two sets of eyes
on your patients.
The notion of an intern
handling my patients is the best way
I can think of
to ruin a perfectly good Mai Tai.
Oh, are you going someplace warm?
- We don't have to talk about it.
- Oh, no. I want to talk
to you about my honeymoon...
The hotel, the sights...
I'm gonna handle
Mrs. Gellman myself.
What I'm wearing on the plane,
what I'm wearing on the beach.
- Leah, leave.
- And the wedding...
Should I get my nails done today
or tomorrow on my way
- to the ceremony?
- Okay, she's gone.
I got this.
The adrenal system
reacts to stress
by releasing hormones that
make us alert and reactive.
The problem is,
the adrenal system can't tell
what's a regular case of nerves
and what's a real impending disaster.
Yo, Lefkowitz.
Did you bring it?
That's the whole thing?
- Yep.
Lefkowitz has gastroparesis
so he can't digest his food.
He was an epic puker
for a long time,
and now he can't really eat at all.
So we're gonna give you
a gastric neurostimulator.
This thing,
it's gonna zap your stomach
so it remembers to push the food
down your system.
Get you back
on burgers and fries.
- That's amazing.
- Yeah, well, the guys
at the airport X-ray
are gonna go nuts.
That's sick.
Oh, uh, this is Dr. Wilson.
She's gonna be operating with me.
You've got a crack team, iron man.
Hey.
Don't.
All right, all right. All right.
I'll stop. I'll stop.
- Jeez.
- When you and Arizona
- get to the wedding tomorrow...
- Mm-hmm.
Don't sit down.
What do you mean, don't sit down?
Just find a place and stand there.
You want us to stand in the back?
Then we won't be able to hear anything.
Stand in the damn front.
And block everybody's view?
I mean, if we're... I don't...
Just pick a spot.
You know, it's not complicated. Ugh!
You know, people allow you
to open them up with a knife.
If they knew you couldn't
follow a simple instruction,
they would run like the wind
from this place.
Are you... Are you trying to say,
"Would you do me the honor
of being my bridesmaids?"
Does the whole thing
have to be about you?
Just put on a dress
and don't sit down.
Aww. We're bridesmaids.
Oh, don't even...
See? Ugh.
This is what I was trying to avoid.
Ohh.
Now once I remove
the sural nerve from your leg,
Dr. Torres will graft it on to
Dr. Shepherd's median nerve.
You'll likely experience some discomfort
in your leg for a few weeks...
Months. Months.
And when he says "discomfort,"
it's gonna hurt like hell.
Well, you're a bag
of sunshine, aren't you?
I don't want to hear
six months from now
that you can't move and that
the ibuprofen hurts your stomach.
He makes me sound like
I'm a 90-year-old man.
- Have you noticed that?
- Because I've heard for decades
- how I ruined your life...
- Because you did.
- And that Mom doesn't love you.
- Because she doesn't.
- I don't want to hear about this.
- I think what you're trying
to say is "Thank you, Lizzie,
"for cutting off a leg
and giving it to me."
Ah. Here it is. This is how
it's gonna go down in history.
It is a nerve.
It is not the entire leg.
Okay. Let's focus. Jackson.
Um, I think Dr. Shepherd's right.
- If you're unsure, we...
- Oh, come on.
I'm just winding him up
because it is so easy.
- Just give me the form.
- Okay.
Now can I go hang out
with Zola in day care?
Oh, I'm sorry. They don't let the adults
come and go
because it's harder
on the kids.
I will bring her to you later.
Grey-
Uh, when you get
to the wedding tomorrow,
don't sit down.
Call for a portable echo.
The lawyer
put together the papers.
They're gonna
send them over tomorrow.
Oh, I signed a bunch of stuff
with them last week.
Uh, not the plane crash.
The divorce.
Oh.
That was fast.
I said we wanted
to move quickly.
- Apparently.
- It's all done.
You just have to sign.
- Is that a problem?
- Nope.
Tomorrow, with a pen.
Okay.
Everything off
from the waist down.
Nice paper tablecloth
for you. I'll be right back.
You know, um...
I was thinking about
telling Lizzie
if you're okay with that.
Um, I think it's still kind of early.
Yeah, but she's doing
this thing for me.
She'll tell your whole entire family.
Well, you told Cristina.
I haven't.
- Still?
- There's no point.
I'm probably
gonna miscarry anyway.
- Meredith...
- I am just stating the facts.
I have a very unstable uterus.
This baby has an uphill climb.
I am just being realistic.
- Ready to take a look?
- Yeah.
Okay, scoot down.
Now there's still a lot we can do
to support the pregnancy, right,
even with our history?
Of course.
You've got some risk factors.
But we're gonna watch you
like a hawk.
Okay-
There we go.
Hi, baby.
Good news.
Arizona and I both have red dresses.
Now they're not the same,
but they are similar.
So it's not like matchy-matchy,
but it'll be super cute.
Now which part of my face says
I want super cute?
Ohh. Get over it already.
It's a wedding.
No one cares that it's
your second other than you.
Just hold your nose.
It'll be over in a few hours.
Sure. And then we'll be married.
And, oh, him in L.A.,
me here with my son
and a job that's known to
take up a great deal of time.
Oh, and he's an intern,
because one specialty
wasn't enough for him.
Let's get to that part.
You know, everyone's acting
like I'm some jittery bride.
Maybe I have something
to jitter about.
Well...
If it's the marriage
you're really worried about...
You can run.
- Excuse me?
- Leave him at the altar.
It's a clean break.
He's so pissed that you
stood him up
in front of all his people,
the whole thing is just over.
And then you're not wrestling
with a relationship that's doomed
or tied to someone
for the rest of your life.
I mean, sure,
you love each other now.
But the next thing you know,
you are cleaning
his pee off the ground
and going to bed
with a foot-wide
demilitarized zone
down the middle of the bed.
Kidding.
I'm just kidding.
I'm kidding.
No, it'll be fine.
It'll be fine. Yeah, Ben's the...
The best. He's... He...
We have to do an open procedure
'cause he's got adhesions
from a surgery a couple years ago.
Once he's open,
you can take down the adhesions.
Really?
- Yeah.
- I've never done
- anything like that before.
- Yeah, well, if it was me,
I'd spend the next few hours
in the skills lab.
Dr. Karev. Is this because
I told you about
when I was a kid?
Oh, yeah. I feel so bad you were
a dumpster-diving orphan,
I'm letting you
hack up a 10-year-old.
Sorry. Stupid.
Ya think?
Flowers, music...
It's a recipe for disaster.
April, you're going to be fine.
Don't worry about it.
Oh, come on. Don't tell her
she's gonna be fine.
You're gonna be
looking all pretty,
little bit of lip gloss
on your prude-y little mouth.
Jackson will spot her
across the room.
Try to look away, but he can't.
You're irresistible in your dress.
One drink, and you're doing
the hippity-dippity
in the coat room.
The dress? Oh, God.
- See?
- Cruel.
What?
Nothing.
So he's into you now?
Karev? No.
Uh-huh. Then why's he letting
you take down adhesions?
Have you ever removed adhesions?
No. None of us have.
Hey, Wilson.
Uh, where are Sujin Kim's
post-op notes?
I didn't finish it.
I wanted to practice for this
gastric neurostimulator surgery
I'm doing with Dr. Karev.
She's taking down the adhesions.
Really? Oh. Good for you.
- He must really trust you.
- Mmm.
Hmm. Um... I hope you're not using
blunt dissection, 'cause that'll tear it.
You want nice, precise moves
with the instruments.
- Okay.
- You sure you're ready for this?
Yeah. You want me
to get you that chart?
No. It can wait.
You should practice.
See? She shouldn't even
be doing a move like this.
He's into her.
The last thing you want at your wedding
is to wonder if Mr. Linzer
is circling the drain
just because nobody
was monitoring his I.N.R.
So I'll just stick around
here tomorrow
and keep an eye on him.
Kepner, you broke up with Avery.
I...Yes.
Yes. I don't know
what that has to...
You're afraid that the sight
of me in cream colored raw silk
will bring tears to your eyes.
I am sure that you
will be beautiful...
I look at my father,
he kisses me on the cheek,
I turn away from him,
- take a breath.
Dr. Webber.
- I step towards Ben...
- Is that for me?
Here you go.
Thank you.
And you and Jackson lock eyes
from across the room.
You melt into him
like snow in the rain.
I knew you would understand.
Suck it up, Kepner.
If I have to go, you have to go.
Okay-
"if I have to go, you have to go“?
- Oh, drop it.
- Oh, no.
That's the most beautiful
sentiment I've ever heard.
Lizzie's calves are a little shorter
than we anticipated.
- Tall girl, short calves.
- So is that gonna be a problem?
No, not if we just get
a little more nerve from the other leg.
Are you saying to...
No.
- Derek.
- Absolutely not.
No, I never liked this idea
in the first place.
We find another donor
or we don't do it.
Well, we couldn't find
another donor.
- That's why we...
- Well, then we're out of luck.
- Can't we just...
- No, we can't. We're not
gonna talk about this.
We're not gonna float this past Lizzie.
We're not cutting both her legs
to remove pieces.
Cancel the procedure.
I think you should bring
a date to Dr. Bailey's wedding.
That way we will focus on our dates
and not on each other.
Or we could just be focused
on the happy couple.
Thank you.
I am wearing a strapless dress.
From here up,
I'm completely naked.
Just...
Wear a different dress.
I don't have a different dress.
I work long hours.
I don't shop.
I have one dressy dress.
How am I supposed to find
a date with one day's notice?
Stephanie.
Hey. Um, would you like to go
to Dr. Bailey's wedding?
Oh, what?
Dr. Avery would love
for you to go with him.
That's not true.
He thinks that you'd be embarrassed,
but you're not embarrassed,
are you?
- Of course she's embarrassed.
- She'll get over it.
- Look, don't get other...
- Strapless...
And tight.
I will pick you up at 1:00 tomorrow
in the locker room.
What just happened?
What about you?
You got to pick mine,
so I get to pick yours, right?
Jackson.
Oh. What about Shane?
He's a good-looking
piece of man, huh?
- They're that short?
No, they're
perfectly respectable calves.
It's just that we're not
gonna get quite enough nerve
- from just the one.
- Okay.
I know it's a lot to ask.
No, it's, uh, fine.
Do what you need to do.
Derek thinks it's too much to ask,
but he really needs this,
so if he comes to you and tries
to talk you out of it,
you have to push.
But don't tell him that
I'm the one that came to you,
because he won't like that.
You've got some balls,
don't you?
You know, if it's too much,
we can call the whole thing off.
You know we're family, right?
There was no wedding, Meredith.
You adopted a baby
and you never invited us
to come meet her.
You never accepted
our invitation to come see us.
All we got was a couple
of pictures via e-mail.
You know, my kids were
so excited that for months,
they walked around telling every
African-American person they saw
that we have a brown baby
in the family?
A year later, they kind of think
- I made the whole thing up.
- I'm sorry.
It's just, you know,
with everything
- that's been going on...
- No, I get that we're all busy,
but you're not shy about asking
me for a couple of body parts,
and now you want me to cover
your tracks with Derek?
If you feel like
it's inappropriate, we...
No, it's what sisters
ask sisters to do.
We cover each other's asses.
Look, if you want to be
a sister, I am delighted,
but then act like one.
My version of family
isn't like your version.
You guys give each other crap
and then you laugh about it.
You'd walk through fire
for each other.
Greys are not like that.
Derek said you had a sister
who worked here.
- Half.
- She was on the plane?
You know, I really don't
want to talk about my sister.
My husband really needs this,
so you don't have to like me,
just him.
You have a child.
She's part of my family.
You of all people should realize,
you need spares in a family.
You need
as many as you can get.
It was very nice to talk to you, Lizzie.
Hey.
I stashed a little Johnnie
in case the ceremony's got
some cousin reading a poem.
Right. Uh, I meant to find you.
I'm kind of bringing a date.
Yeah, me. Two guys picking up
bridesmaids from out of town.
April's convinced that if we
don't both bring dates,
then we're both gonna end up...
Why you gotta talk to her?
She ruins everything.
How about I find someone
for you to go with?
You know, maybe Stephanie
has a friend.
Stephanie? That's who you're taking?
You want a date or not?
- No.
- All right.
Okay. Whatever.
Just don't get me an ugly one.
We're not doing the procedure.
Of course we're doing it.
You know what happened
when I said I'd do this?
Mom called me three times
in one day.
It just brings tears to my eyes.
- She's a mess.
- Come on.
You're the golden child.
The rest of us are just
scrapping for second position,
and I just put a lock on it for life.
You think I'm giving that up
just 'cause you have to cut
into two legs instead of one?
- Lizzie...
- No, we're not discussing it.
I've decided.
Get back on the horse, Derek.
Oh, okay. So you think I'm
using this as an excuse,
that I'm too scared to try
and operate again?
No, of course not. Nothing scares you.
Mmm.
What if it doesn't work?
Hmm? What if we go through all of this
- and nothing comes of it?
- Well, then
at least we tried.
We're doing it.
Just... Say thank you.
- You ready?
- Yep.
Bovie, please.
Thank you.
- Okay, here?
- Yep.
- Take your time.
- Okay.
Watch out for the blood vessels.
Wow. Look at you, all grown-up.
Up in the skills lab, I was doing...
You put a hole in his stomach.
- I haven't even...
- Move, now. Move.
- All right. Clamp.
Here you go.
-2.0 Vicryl.
I'll get it.
Suction.
Hey, Steph. You okay there?
- Fine.
- Terrific.
I wanted to ask you...
I was gonna go to the wedding with,
you know, a friend...
A guy, like, stag.
- Yeah?
- And now he feels like
I'm bailing on him.
You don't have to go with me.
No, no. You don't want to go?
You have a date with a guy.
I ditched him, and I want you
to find somebody for him.
Is that weird?
Nothing about this is weird.
- Terrific.
- Mm-hmm.
Mmm.
There's still some spillage.
Give me some lap pads...
And some 2.0 silk.
Get over here and grab the retractor
so we can put the device back in.
- Wilson.
- I can't get my hands to stay still.
Well, shake it off
and get over here.
The kid's gonna be fine,
just grab the damn retractor.
Get out.
Go!
You think Bailey will notice
if I'm not there?
She just made you a bridesmaid.
Oh, she doesn't care
about all of that.
She just wants a bunch of people
standing up there
so it won't look weird
when Ben has all his guys
standing up there.
And I have a packed day tomorrow.
Yeah, 'cause you're going to a wedding.
You're supposed to wear heels...
- To a fancy occasion.
- Oh, come on.
No, they make you feel
tall and confident
and feminine and...
And my plastic foot isn't
the right shape for... Heels.
- I didn't get that kind.
- Well, I mean...
It's not nothing.
I mean, why do you think women
all over the world wear them?
Because women all over
the world are stupid.
Oh, okay. So you're
gonna wear flats?
Oh, I'd be happy
to wear flats.
Oh, no, you wouldn't because
then you would feel dumpy.
Oh-ho. Did you just call me dumpy?
Can you just for one second admit
that you know what it is
I'm talking about?
Okay, I know it's hard.
It's hard all the time,
and this is just one more reminder.
But you are so, so beautiful.
Yeah, people stand next to you
and immediately
feel bad about themselves.
It's a public service
that you're
a couple of inches shorter.
It is a kindness
to every other woman
at that wedding that you are just
one tiny bit less beautiful.
Mm-hmm. Yeah.
Are you still mad at me
because I called Lizzie?
Do you still love me?
Medium.
I just want your hand
to be better
so that we can put this stupid
plane crash stuff behind us.
Well, the lawyer called
to schedule a deposition.
He thinks
we have a strong case,
especially now that Cristina
and Owen are getting divorced.
What does that have to do
with anything?
Well, it'd be a big
conflict of interest
if Owen was married
to one of the plaintiffs.
That's why they got divorced,
right? She didn't tell you?
No. Why would she not tell me that?
You didn't tell her you were pregnant.
Maybe things are different now.
On the morning of your wedding?
Oh, my house is filled
with my family
talking about makeup and hair.
- Just check into a hotel.
Dr. Bailey.
Take a nice long bath,
get a manicure.
Oh, now I got you
talking about makeup and hair?
Dr. Bailey, what are you
doing here?
Checking up on my patients.
Making sure you haven't
bungled anything.
- Don't mention her hair.
- Why? Did something
happen to your hair?
Oh.
He probably knew it was risky,
so he wanted it on me and not him.
You have to stop.
You're making yourself crazy.
- I'm gonna get fired.
- No, you're not.
Just keep your head down
and do your work.
You're right.
You're right.
Now I have to
ask you something,
and in light of the fact
that you think your job is on the line,
it's gonna sound really stupid.
Whatever. It's okay.
Dr. Avery asked me
to Dr. Bailey's wedding.
And I can't put two words together
into a sentence
when I'm within two feet of him,
and he's bringing a friend,
and he asked me
to bring a friend,
and it'll be like a bunch of us,
and we'll all go together.
You're right. It sounds really stupid.
But will you do it?
Please, Jo.
- Somebody page cardio?
- Yeah,
G.S.W. to the chest.
He put up two-and-a-half liters of blood
when we put in the chest tube.
We should move him upstairs.
There is a bullet in the abdomen.
I can do it, or we can call
for somebody else.
You can do it.
Amicable, right?
- Mm-hmm.
- Let's move.
You're still rechecking Kepner's work?
What I was born to do.
I have a chole
in about ten minutes.
In and out, the whole thing
should take an hour.
You want to scrub in?
Take the edge off before
you go home and get dressed?
You... Are a good man.
- Dr. Webber.
- Oh, the man of the hour.
Oh, tell me you're not here
to take me back to that house.
No, I'm not.
Okay, well, he, um, just asked
me to do a chole with him...
And it's the only
thing that's calmed me down
on a day full of people
trying and failing to calm me down.
Why do you think he asked you?
You called him?
Oh.
Thank you.
Both of you.
So can I have a car
pick you up at the house?
How many times do I have to
say no to that?
A person shouldn't drive themselves
to their own wedding.
- Well, I like to drive.
- In a wedding gown?
It's my last ten minutes
as a single woman.
You know, you both were on a roll there.
- Why are you trying to screw it up now?
- I'll see you in the O.R.
And I will see you at the altar.
Dr. Robbins.
- Yeah. Hi.
- Dr. Karev had me take down
- the adhesions.
- Yeah. Yeah, how'd that go?
Some of the adhesions
were stuck to the stomach.
The stomach was injured.
He could be septic by now.
I don't think he had any business
having an intern
do that kind of move.
You were pretty shocked
to hear that I was doing it.
He threw me in the deep end,
probably because...
Okay, hang on.
What exactly are you saying
about your attending?
s s m:.
- Sweet.
- Scrubbing in with Owen,
who wants to sign
our divorce papers today.
I guess we're being
mature and moving on.
Speaking of which,
why didn't you tell me
that the divorce was because
of the plane crash lawsuit?
- What?
- Derek told me,
so that the case is stronger.
Which is great, I'm glad,
especially if it means the two of you
are getting back together.
It's good news, and I don't know
why you wouldn't want
to share that with me?
Because I didn't know.
You ready?
What?
- Dr. Shepherd's prepped?
- Yep.
Uh, Dr. Torres is going over the studies.
- Okay.
- Yeah.
Hold it together.
Well, a nerve extraction's
a pretty simple procedure.
Not that.
He asked me on a date,
to Dr. Bailey's wedding.
Dr. Kepner asked me.
It's a date?
It's not, like, a mentoring thing?
How is drinking champagne
and dancing to Barry White
a mentoring thing?
I thought it was, like, spending time
getting to know the interns
in a casual, stress-free environment.
That was the free-doughnuts
thing in the lounge.
This is a wedding.
I can't go on a date
with my boss.
I need to focus on my work,
not get all wrapped up
in the ladies.
Did you really just say
"the ladies"?
You're the one who just said
you couldn't concentrate in the O.R.
'cause Dr. Avery might look at
you with his limpid green eyes.
The eyes are really intense.
You've noticed it yourself, right?
- Get a grip.
- You get a grip.
Karev, did you tell Wilson
that she'd be fired for
screwing up a gastric implant?
- What?
- Is the patient gonna make it?
The patient's fine.
What the hell did she tell you?
She thinks that you set her up
to take the fall
on a risky O.R. procedure,
and it kind of sounds like you did.
It would've been risky
no matter who did it.
And I was standing right there.
The second it got hairy, I took over.
She was in over her head.
And where do you think I got the idea
to do something like that?
- What are you talking about?
- You.
I'm trying to be
like you were with me.
You let me try crap
so I got confidence in myself.
That's what I was trying to do...
Not treat the stupid morons
like the stupid morons
- that I think they are.
- I gave you opportunities.
I also gave you a boatload of
encouragement and support.
I didn't drop-kick you into
the deep end of the pool...
And yell, "Swim, idiot."
You're a teacher now.
Your students fail, you've failed.
om
Glad you're driving
yourself to the wedding.
Remind me
to stay off the roads.
Were you like this?
On my wedding day,
I remember staring at my socks
for a long time.
I had no idea what to do with 'em.
You know, ten years from now,
if the marriage is strong,
I'll look back at today and say...
"it was just a little bit of cold feet."
If we're in a nasty divorce, I'll say,
"I knew it was a mistake
the day we got married."
- You think it's a mistake?
- I just feel...
Worried.
I never felt that way with Tucker.
You were a child
when you married Tucker.
You're an adult now.
You know the world's
an ambiguous place.
You know that love
doesn't conquer all.
It conquers some stuff.
The other stuff kicks
the living crap out of love.
And this is the pep talk?
Overwhelming doubt is a problem.
A little bit of doubt is just a sign
of an intelligent adult.
Is Grey gonna be in the gallery?
No. She didn't want
to make you nervous.
I told her you don't get nervous.
You're right. I don't.
Close your eyes.
Enjoy your nap.
- You've got nothing to worry about.
- Mmm.
- Torres.
- Hmm?
You've got nothing to worry about.
- We good to go?
- Yes, we are.
Yes. We're... Yes.
Jackson,
I just want to let you know,
I'M be here watching the whole time.
Couldn't be happier.
- No mistakes.
- That's the plan.
Okay-
Are you kidding me?
Get that woman out of my gallery.
- That's not a good idea.
- Get her out.
I heard that, Avery. Edwards,
don't even think about it.
New.
- Edwards, you wouldn't dare.
You have years with me.
I can be very difficult to deal with.
15-blade, please.
You narced on me to my boss?
I worked hard to get here.
I'm not gonna let myself
- get fired because...
- Nobody's firing you.
- I was trying to help you.
- I clearly wasn't ready for it.
Why, because I had to take over?
Look, you can't go crying
to my damn boss
every time you get scared.
You can't cry at all
when you get scared
because it's scary in there
all the time.
I just thought,
maybe after I blew the appy,
I'd be a good target
if you needed to pin something
on someone.
It's paranoid. I get that.
I don't always trust people
who are trying to help me.
Yeah, yeah, you're a beaten dog
and you bite people
who try to feed you.
I don't give a crap
about your sad story.
You want to be a surgeon, you
need to get the hell over it.
You burned a bridge with me.
How about you grow up
before you burn a bridge
with every other attending
who tries to teach you something?
50 centimeters of prime nerve.
Great.
All right.
Forceps, please. Thank you.
Okay-
Is no one making small talk
because this is Derek Shepherd
on the table?
This is intricate work.
Small talk is what keeps us awake.
Well, uh...
A couple of days ago,
I helped Dr. Kepner
extract a malignant mass
from the gluteal area
of a female patient.
It was an impressively sized mass.
Who's gonna tell Dr. Shepherd
that he'll never operate again
because Ross' idea of gossip is,
he saw April Kepner
take a lump off an ass?
Brooks, suction.
All of, not half of it.
Sorry.
He's got a bunch of tattoos.
Wonder if it's some sort of a gang thing.
- I had...
- The chatter isn't helping me,
and your experience
with gangland youth
has little bearing
on how we treat this patient.
What the hell was that?
I thought this was
supposed to be amicable.
We're getting divorced
because of the lawsuit?
It will significantly
increase your chances...
- You didn't want to mention it?
- I want you to get the money.
I want all of you to get the money,
and I knew there was
a very real chance
that you would reject the idea
simply because I suggested it.
Oh, right. Because I'm
so simple-minded and petulant.
- You've been known to...
- Where do you get off
making some kind of unilateral
decision about our marriage?
How about the fact that you
moved across the country
and didn't have the courage
to do what I did
and simply ask for a divorce?
Oh, God.
So this is ballsy,
you hiding behind the lawsuit?
You couldn't just admit to me,
or God sake, yourself,
that you wanted out.
You have to let this stupid plane crash
make the decision for you.
I chose the airline!
You like it better when I decide?
I chose the airline!
We had to make a budget cut of 4%...
And we had a line item
of emergency transportation.
We never used it, and we had a...
Fancy charter company,
and I chose a... Cheaper one.
You want to know why it was cheaper?
You didn't build the plane.
People are dead.
Or fly it.
I thought you were dead.
You're not responsible.
Someone has to be.
I mean, it takes a lot of small mistakes
to destroy something,
and it's really easy
for everybody involved
just to say, "I just did
this one small thing."
A bunch of people made it possible...
For a bad plane
to take off with you, Meredith,
and Derek, and Arizona, and...
And I am one of those people.
Oh.
I think I'm having a dream
a really hot doctor
came to take care of me.
This really hot doctor is
leaving you to go to a party.
Mmm.
Callie said it could not have
gone better.
- Mmm.
- Do you have any pain?
No.
- How's Lizzie?
- Uh, she's doing well.
She was still sleeping
last time I checked.
I'll swing by on my way out.
Mwah. Hey.
It may have worked.
And we're back on the shoes.
Please don't even say it out loud.
It makes me feel even more stupid.
Just...
Tell her that I wasn't feeling well.
You've gotta be kidding me.
Do not belittle me, okay? You
have no idea what it's like...
Oh, trust me, trust me,
I am intimately familiar
with what's going on,
and I'm over it.
You are exactly the same person
you were before,
just minus a leg.
- You think it's nothing?
- No.
Oh, no, no, no, no.
I think it's everything.
And you know what?
It has been... For months.
And I have been supportive
for months.
But there comes a point
where you have to suck it up
and stop whining
and start living.
Okay, so you have one leg.
It's a wedding.
It's a wedding.
And weddings are sweet
and beautiful
and no one's gonna notice
the stupid leg
because everybody's gonna
be looking at Bailey,
and maybe for one night,
our lives can be about something
other than that damn leg.
My whole life is about that leg.
I haven't had sex in five months
because of the leg.
Enough about the leg!
Everything went smoothly.
Your vitals look great.
And Derek is awake,
and he's in good shape.
Meredith, I'm pushy. I get that.
Some people find it endearing,
and some people really don't,
but, um...
You don't have to want
Derek's truckload of sisters
in your life.
Yeah. You are a pain in the ass.
And I barely know you.
Okay, so...
I'm not very good at this.
But I'm gonna try.
I'm gonna show you something,
but you have to promise not to
blab it to the whole family.
Okay-
- Promise?
- Yeah.
Okay-
You?
Really?
- We're having a baby.
- Yeah.
'(aw!
- Let her drive you, Miranda.
- No, Mom.
I just need five minutes
with none of you touching me.
So did she bring her friend
or what?
Oh, come on.
He's the guy?
Mmm.
All right.
Was the lawsuit the only reason
you asked for a divorce?
There are many reasons.
You were...
Done a long time ago.
I'm asking about you.
Okay, let me put it another way.
I wanted to try again.
I was gonna ask you
if we could try again,
and you said,
"I want a divorce."
Come here.
Mmm.
Oh. Sorry.
I should throw this thing out the window.
- Hello.
Sir, this is Barrett in the E.R.
Your wife is on her way here.
Paramedics say she's vomiting blood.
- What?
- Adele?
She's hypotensive.
Um, hey, uh, turn the car around.
We need to go
- to the emergency room...
- Did you check her vitals?
...at Seattle Grace Hospital right now.
Wasn't this stupid thing
supposed to start already?
I'm here, sweetheart.
Why is this happening?
We're gonna find out.
How much blood has she lost?
At least a liter, a liter and a half.
- It started about 45 minutes ago.
- Oh, God! It hurts.
- Hang more L.R.
- No, not if she's lost that much blood.
She needs a transfusion
and an N.G. tube.
- I've got this, okay?
- Sir, she's your wife.
- Step back.
- Get me an N.G. tube, son.
- I can do this.
- Get me an N.G. tube
- right now.
- Okay, I got it. You hear me?
Oh.
Okay. Get out of the way.
- Okay. Central line kit, please.
Yes, Doctor.
Yeah, yeah, Leah.
Get me out of this dress now.
Adele, hi.
Can you look at me?
Hey, we're gonna take
good care of you, okay?
She's having ventricular couplets.
All right, watch for V-tach.
Prep the I.J.
Okay, you're gonna
be fine, baby. We got you.
All right.
Get the guide wire ready.
- She's losing consciousness. Bailey!
- Damn it. All right.
Uh, Barrett, take this.
Do a femoral line instead.
Uh, Leah, intubation tray.
Oh, God, Adele.
Oh, God.
Oh, come on, come on, come on.
Oh, straight to voice mail.
Um, it's possible
that I may have, by mistake,
said that if she had any doubts,
- she should flee.
- What?
Why?
Well, I kind of said
that marriage is like
a dance of death and that
leaving him at the altar
would be a painful but efficient out.
- Oh, that's nice.
- I was joking...
And she was nervous, okay?
And she wasn't sure
if it was the wedding
- or the whole thing.
- The marriage?
She was nervous.
How nervous?
How nervous was she, Callie?
Meredith". The body doesn't know
the difference
between nerves and excitement,
panic and doubt,
the beginning, and the end.
The body just tells you
to get the hell out.
Sometimes you ignore it.
That's the reasonable thing to do.
But sometimes you listen.
You're supposed to trust
your gut, right?
When your body says run...
Run.
---
Now Mr. Linzer hates the food,
so he will tell you he feels fine.
He does not feel fine.
And if you release him
before his I.N.R. stabilizes,
he will bleed to death.
Murphy's gonna
keep an eye on him.
I am gonna keep
an eye on him.
Mrs. Gellman's still intubated,
but I want the tube out by Monday.
Have the nurses page you as soon
as she starts breathing on her...
I will ask them myself.
Oh, it's not too much for you?
- Not at all.
- And yet, you're trying to
fob it off to Petunia here,
with her years and years
of experience in critical care.
I want you to relax on your honeymoon.
I thought that you'd be reassured
by having two sets of eyes
on your patients.
The notion of an intern
handling my patients is the best way
I can think of
to ruin a perfectly good Mai Tai.
Oh, are you going someplace warm?
- We don't have to talk about it.
- Oh, no. I want to talk
to you about my honeymoon...
The hotel, the sights...
I'm gonna handle
Mrs. Gellman myself.
What I'm wearing on the plane,
what I'm wearing on the beach.
- Leah, leave.
- And the wedding...
Should I get my nails done today
or tomorrow on my way
- to the ceremony?
- Okay, she's gone.
I got this.
The adrenal system
reacts to stress
by releasing hormones that
make us alert and reactive.
The problem is,
the adrenal system can't tell
what's a regular case of nerves
and what's a real impending disaster.
Yo, Lefkowitz.
Did you bring it?
That's the whole thing?
- Yep.
Lefkowitz has gastroparesis
so he can't digest his food.
He was an epic puker
for a long time,
and now he can't really eat at all.
So we're gonna give you
a gastric neurostimulator.
This thing,
it's gonna zap your stomach
so it remembers to push the food
down your system.
Get you back
on burgers and fries.
- That's amazing.
- Yeah, well, the guys
at the airport X-ray
are gonna go nuts.
That's sick.
Oh, uh, this is Dr. Wilson.
She's gonna be operating with me.
You've got a crack team, iron man.
Hey.
Don't.
All right, all right. All right.
I'll stop. I'll stop.
- Jeez.
- When you and Arizona
- get to the wedding tomorrow...
- Mm-hmm.
Don't sit down.
What do you mean, don't sit down?
Just find a place and stand there.
You want us to stand in the back?
Then we won't be able to hear anything.
Stand in the damn front.
And block everybody's view?
I mean, if we're... I don't...
Just pick a spot.
You know, it's not complicated. Ugh!
You know, people allow you
to open them up with a knife.
If they knew you couldn't
follow a simple instruction,
they would run like the wind
from this place.
Are you... Are you trying to say,
"Would you do me the honor
of being my bridesmaids?"
Does the whole thing
have to be about you?
Just put on a dress
and don't sit down.
Aww. We're bridesmaids.
Oh, don't even...
See? Ugh.
This is what I was trying to avoid.
Ohh.
Now once I remove
the sural nerve from your leg,
Dr. Torres will graft it on to
Dr. Shepherd's median nerve.
You'll likely experience some discomfort
in your leg for a few weeks...
Months. Months.
And when he says "discomfort,"
it's gonna hurt like hell.
Well, you're a bag
of sunshine, aren't you?
I don't want to hear
six months from now
that you can't move and that
the ibuprofen hurts your stomach.
He makes me sound like
I'm a 90-year-old man.
- Have you noticed that?
- Because I've heard for decades
- how I ruined your life...
- Because you did.
- And that Mom doesn't love you.
- Because she doesn't.
- I don't want to hear about this.
- I think what you're trying
to say is "Thank you, Lizzie,
"for cutting off a leg
and giving it to me."
Ah. Here it is. This is how
it's gonna go down in history.
It is a nerve.
It is not the entire leg.
Okay. Let's focus. Jackson.
Um, I think Dr. Shepherd's right.
- If you're unsure, we...
- Oh, come on.
I'm just winding him up
because it is so easy.
- Just give me the form.
- Okay.
Now can I go hang out
with Zola in day care?
Oh, I'm sorry. They don't let the adults
come and go
because it's harder
on the kids.
I will bring her to you later.
Grey-
Uh, when you get
to the wedding tomorrow,
don't sit down.
Call for a portable echo.
The lawyer
put together the papers.
They're gonna
send them over tomorrow.
Oh, I signed a bunch of stuff
with them last week.
Uh, not the plane crash.
The divorce.
Oh.
That was fast.
I said we wanted
to move quickly.
- Apparently.
- It's all done.
You just have to sign.
- Is that a problem?
- Nope.
Tomorrow, with a pen.
Okay.
Everything off
from the waist down.
Nice paper tablecloth
for you. I'll be right back.
You know, um...
I was thinking about
telling Lizzie
if you're okay with that.
Um, I think it's still kind of early.
Yeah, but she's doing
this thing for me.
She'll tell your whole entire family.
Well, you told Cristina.
I haven't.
- Still?
- There's no point.
I'm probably
gonna miscarry anyway.
- Meredith...
- I am just stating the facts.
I have a very unstable uterus.
This baby has an uphill climb.
I am just being realistic.
- Ready to take a look?
- Yeah.
Okay, scoot down.
Now there's still a lot we can do
to support the pregnancy, right,
even with our history?
Of course.
You've got some risk factors.
But we're gonna watch you
like a hawk.
Okay-
There we go.
Hi, baby.
Good news.
Arizona and I both have red dresses.
Now they're not the same,
but they are similar.
So it's not like matchy-matchy,
but it'll be super cute.
Now which part of my face says
I want super cute?
Ohh. Get over it already.
It's a wedding.
No one cares that it's
your second other than you.
Just hold your nose.
It'll be over in a few hours.
Sure. And then we'll be married.
And, oh, him in L.A.,
me here with my son
and a job that's known to
take up a great deal of time.
Oh, and he's an intern,
because one specialty
wasn't enough for him.
Let's get to that part.
You know, everyone's acting
like I'm some jittery bride.
Maybe I have something
to jitter about.
Well...
If it's the marriage
you're really worried about...
You can run.
- Excuse me?
- Leave him at the altar.
It's a clean break.
He's so pissed that you
stood him up
in front of all his people,
the whole thing is just over.
And then you're not wrestling
with a relationship that's doomed
or tied to someone
for the rest of your life.
I mean, sure,
you love each other now.
But the next thing you know,
you are cleaning
his pee off the ground
and going to bed
with a foot-wide
demilitarized zone
down the middle of the bed.
Kidding.
I'm just kidding.
I'm kidding.
No, it'll be fine.
It'll be fine. Yeah, Ben's the...
The best. He's... He...
We have to do an open procedure
'cause he's got adhesions
from a surgery a couple years ago.
Once he's open,
you can take down the adhesions.
Really?
- Yeah.
- I've never done
- anything like that before.
- Yeah, well, if it was me,
I'd spend the next few hours
in the skills lab.
Dr. Karev. Is this because
I told you about
when I was a kid?
Oh, yeah. I feel so bad you were
a dumpster-diving orphan,
I'm letting you
hack up a 10-year-old.
Sorry. Stupid.
Ya think?
Flowers, music...
It's a recipe for disaster.
April, you're going to be fine.
Don't worry about it.
Oh, come on. Don't tell her
she's gonna be fine.
You're gonna be
looking all pretty,
little bit of lip gloss
on your prude-y little mouth.
Jackson will spot her
across the room.
Try to look away, but he can't.
You're irresistible in your dress.
One drink, and you're doing
the hippity-dippity
in the coat room.
The dress? Oh, God.
- See?
- Cruel.
What?
Nothing.
So he's into you now?
Karev? No.
Uh-huh. Then why's he letting
you take down adhesions?
Have you ever removed adhesions?
No. None of us have.
Hey, Wilson.
Uh, where are Sujin Kim's
post-op notes?
I didn't finish it.
I wanted to practice for this
gastric neurostimulator surgery
I'm doing with Dr. Karev.
She's taking down the adhesions.
Really? Oh. Good for you.
- He must really trust you.
- Mmm.
Hmm. Um... I hope you're not using
blunt dissection, 'cause that'll tear it.
You want nice, precise moves
with the instruments.
- Okay.
- You sure you're ready for this?
Yeah. You want me
to get you that chart?
No. It can wait.
You should practice.
See? She shouldn't even
be doing a move like this.
He's into her.
The last thing you want at your wedding
is to wonder if Mr. Linzer
is circling the drain
just because nobody
was monitoring his I.N.R.
So I'll just stick around
here tomorrow
and keep an eye on him.
Kepner, you broke up with Avery.
I...Yes.
Yes. I don't know
what that has to...
You're afraid that the sight
of me in cream colored raw silk
will bring tears to your eyes.
I am sure that you
will be beautiful...
I look at my father,
he kisses me on the cheek,
I turn away from him,
- take a breath.
Dr. Webber.
- I step towards Ben...
- Is that for me?
Here you go.
Thank you.
And you and Jackson lock eyes
from across the room.
You melt into him
like snow in the rain.
I knew you would understand.
Suck it up, Kepner.
If I have to go, you have to go.
Okay-
"if I have to go, you have to go“?
- Oh, drop it.
- Oh, no.
That's the most beautiful
sentiment I've ever heard.
Lizzie's calves are a little shorter
than we anticipated.
- Tall girl, short calves.
- So is that gonna be a problem?
No, not if we just get
a little more nerve from the other leg.
Are you saying to...
No.
- Derek.
- Absolutely not.
No, I never liked this idea
in the first place.
We find another donor
or we don't do it.
Well, we couldn't find
another donor.
- That's why we...
- Well, then we're out of luck.
- Can't we just...
- No, we can't. We're not
gonna talk about this.
We're not gonna float this past Lizzie.
We're not cutting both her legs
to remove pieces.
Cancel the procedure.
I think you should bring
a date to Dr. Bailey's wedding.
That way we will focus on our dates
and not on each other.
Or we could just be focused
on the happy couple.
Thank you.
I am wearing a strapless dress.
From here up,
I'm completely naked.
Just...
Wear a different dress.
I don't have a different dress.
I work long hours.
I don't shop.
I have one dressy dress.
How am I supposed to find
a date with one day's notice?
Stephanie.
Hey. Um, would you like to go
to Dr. Bailey's wedding?
Oh, what?
Dr. Avery would love
for you to go with him.
That's not true.
He thinks that you'd be embarrassed,
but you're not embarrassed,
are you?
- Of course she's embarrassed.
- She'll get over it.
- Look, don't get other...
- Strapless...
And tight.
I will pick you up at 1:00 tomorrow
in the locker room.
What just happened?
What about you?
You got to pick mine,
so I get to pick yours, right?
Jackson.
Oh. What about Shane?
He's a good-looking
piece of man, huh?
- They're that short?
No, they're
perfectly respectable calves.
It's just that we're not
gonna get quite enough nerve
- from just the one.
- Okay.
I know it's a lot to ask.
No, it's, uh, fine.
Do what you need to do.
Derek thinks it's too much to ask,
but he really needs this,
so if he comes to you and tries
to talk you out of it,
you have to push.
But don't tell him that
I'm the one that came to you,
because he won't like that.
You've got some balls,
don't you?
You know, if it's too much,
we can call the whole thing off.
You know we're family, right?
There was no wedding, Meredith.
You adopted a baby
and you never invited us
to come meet her.
You never accepted
our invitation to come see us.
All we got was a couple
of pictures via e-mail.
You know, my kids were
so excited that for months,
they walked around telling every
African-American person they saw
that we have a brown baby
in the family?
A year later, they kind of think
- I made the whole thing up.
- I'm sorry.
It's just, you know,
with everything
- that's been going on...
- No, I get that we're all busy,
but you're not shy about asking
me for a couple of body parts,
and now you want me to cover
your tracks with Derek?
If you feel like
it's inappropriate, we...
No, it's what sisters
ask sisters to do.
We cover each other's asses.
Look, if you want to be
a sister, I am delighted,
but then act like one.
My version of family
isn't like your version.
You guys give each other crap
and then you laugh about it.
You'd walk through fire
for each other.
Greys are not like that.
Derek said you had a sister
who worked here.
- Half.
- She was on the plane?
You know, I really don't
want to talk about my sister.
My husband really needs this,
so you don't have to like me,
just him.
You have a child.
She's part of my family.
You of all people should realize,
you need spares in a family.
You need
as many as you can get.
It was very nice to talk to you, Lizzie.
Hey.
I stashed a little Johnnie
in case the ceremony's got
some cousin reading a poem.
Right. Uh, I meant to find you.
I'm kind of bringing a date.
Yeah, me. Two guys picking up
bridesmaids from out of town.
April's convinced that if we
don't both bring dates,
then we're both gonna end up...
Why you gotta talk to her?
She ruins everything.
How about I find someone
for you to go with?
You know, maybe Stephanie
has a friend.
Stephanie? That's who you're taking?
You want a date or not?
- No.
- All right.
Okay. Whatever.
Just don't get me an ugly one.
We're not doing the procedure.
Of course we're doing it.
You know what happened
when I said I'd do this?
Mom called me three times
in one day.
It just brings tears to my eyes.
- She's a mess.
- Come on.
You're the golden child.
The rest of us are just
scrapping for second position,
and I just put a lock on it for life.
You think I'm giving that up
just 'cause you have to cut
into two legs instead of one?
- Lizzie...
- No, we're not discussing it.
I've decided.
Get back on the horse, Derek.
Oh, okay. So you think I'm
using this as an excuse,
that I'm too scared to try
and operate again?
No, of course not. Nothing scares you.
Mmm.
What if it doesn't work?
Hmm? What if we go through all of this
- and nothing comes of it?
- Well, then
at least we tried.
We're doing it.
Just... Say thank you.
- You ready?
- Yep.
Bovie, please.
Thank you.
- Okay, here?
- Yep.
- Take your time.
- Okay.
Watch out for the blood vessels.
Wow. Look at you, all grown-up.
Up in the skills lab, I was doing...
You put a hole in his stomach.
- I haven't even...
- Move, now. Move.
- All right. Clamp.
Here you go.
-2.0 Vicryl.
I'll get it.
Suction.
Hey, Steph. You okay there?
- Fine.
- Terrific.
I wanted to ask you...
I was gonna go to the wedding with,
you know, a friend...
A guy, like, stag.
- Yeah?
- And now he feels like
I'm bailing on him.
You don't have to go with me.
No, no. You don't want to go?
You have a date with a guy.
I ditched him, and I want you
to find somebody for him.
Is that weird?
Nothing about this is weird.
- Terrific.
- Mm-hmm.
Mmm.
There's still some spillage.
Give me some lap pads...
And some 2.0 silk.
Get over here and grab the retractor
so we can put the device back in.
- Wilson.
- I can't get my hands to stay still.
Well, shake it off
and get over here.
The kid's gonna be fine,
just grab the damn retractor.
Get out.
Go!
You think Bailey will notice
if I'm not there?
She just made you a bridesmaid.
Oh, she doesn't care
about all of that.
She just wants a bunch of people
standing up there
so it won't look weird
when Ben has all his guys
standing up there.
And I have a packed day tomorrow.
Yeah, 'cause you're going to a wedding.
You're supposed to wear heels...
- To a fancy occasion.
- Oh, come on.
No, they make you feel
tall and confident
and feminine and...
And my plastic foot isn't
the right shape for... Heels.
- I didn't get that kind.
- Well, I mean...
It's not nothing.
I mean, why do you think women
all over the world wear them?
Because women all over
the world are stupid.
Oh, okay. So you're
gonna wear flats?
Oh, I'd be happy
to wear flats.
Oh, no, you wouldn't because
then you would feel dumpy.
Oh-ho. Did you just call me dumpy?
Can you just for one second admit
that you know what it is
I'm talking about?
Okay, I know it's hard.
It's hard all the time,
and this is just one more reminder.
But you are so, so beautiful.
Yeah, people stand next to you
and immediately
feel bad about themselves.
It's a public service
that you're
a couple of inches shorter.
It is a kindness
to every other woman
at that wedding that you are just
one tiny bit less beautiful.
Mm-hmm. Yeah.
Are you still mad at me
because I called Lizzie?
Do you still love me?
Medium.
I just want your hand
to be better
so that we can put this stupid
plane crash stuff behind us.
Well, the lawyer called
to schedule a deposition.
He thinks
we have a strong case,
especially now that Cristina
and Owen are getting divorced.
What does that have to do
with anything?
Well, it'd be a big
conflict of interest
if Owen was married
to one of the plaintiffs.
That's why they got divorced,
right? She didn't tell you?
No. Why would she not tell me that?
You didn't tell her you were pregnant.
Maybe things are different now.
On the morning of your wedding?
Oh, my house is filled
with my family
talking about makeup and hair.
- Just check into a hotel.
Dr. Bailey.
Take a nice long bath,
get a manicure.
Oh, now I got you
talking about makeup and hair?
Dr. Bailey, what are you
doing here?
Checking up on my patients.
Making sure you haven't
bungled anything.
- Don't mention her hair.
- Why? Did something
happen to your hair?
Oh.
He probably knew it was risky,
so he wanted it on me and not him.
You have to stop.
You're making yourself crazy.
- I'm gonna get fired.
- No, you're not.
Just keep your head down
and do your work.
You're right.
You're right.
Now I have to
ask you something,
and in light of the fact
that you think your job is on the line,
it's gonna sound really stupid.
Whatever. It's okay.
Dr. Avery asked me
to Dr. Bailey's wedding.
And I can't put two words together
into a sentence
when I'm within two feet of him,
and he's bringing a friend,
and he asked me
to bring a friend,
and it'll be like a bunch of us,
and we'll all go together.
You're right. It sounds really stupid.
But will you do it?
Please, Jo.
- Somebody page cardio?
- Yeah,
G.S.W. to the chest.
He put up two-and-a-half liters of blood
when we put in the chest tube.
We should move him upstairs.
There is a bullet in the abdomen.
I can do it, or we can call
for somebody else.
You can do it.
Amicable, right?
- Mm-hmm.
- Let's move.
You're still rechecking Kepner's work?
What I was born to do.
I have a chole
in about ten minutes.
In and out, the whole thing
should take an hour.
You want to scrub in?
Take the edge off before
you go home and get dressed?
You... Are a good man.
- Dr. Webber.
- Oh, the man of the hour.
Oh, tell me you're not here
to take me back to that house.
No, I'm not.
Okay, well, he, um, just asked
me to do a chole with him...
And it's the only
thing that's calmed me down
on a day full of people
trying and failing to calm me down.
Why do you think he asked you?
You called him?
Oh.
Thank you.
Both of you.
So can I have a car
pick you up at the house?
How many times do I have to
say no to that?
A person shouldn't drive themselves
to their own wedding.
- Well, I like to drive.
- In a wedding gown?
It's my last ten minutes
as a single woman.
You know, you both were on a roll there.
- Why are you trying to screw it up now?
- I'll see you in the O.R.
And I will see you at the altar.
Dr. Robbins.
- Yeah. Hi.
- Dr. Karev had me take down
- the adhesions.
- Yeah. Yeah, how'd that go?
Some of the adhesions
were stuck to the stomach.
The stomach was injured.
He could be septic by now.
I don't think he had any business
having an intern
do that kind of move.
You were pretty shocked
to hear that I was doing it.
He threw me in the deep end,
probably because...
Okay, hang on.
What exactly are you saying
about your attending?
s s m:.
- Sweet.
- Scrubbing in with Owen,
who wants to sign
our divorce papers today.
I guess we're being
mature and moving on.
Speaking of which,
why didn't you tell me
that the divorce was because
of the plane crash lawsuit?
- What?
- Derek told me,
so that the case is stronger.
Which is great, I'm glad,
especially if it means the two of you
are getting back together.
It's good news, and I don't know
why you wouldn't want
to share that with me?
Because I didn't know.
You ready?
What?
- Dr. Shepherd's prepped?
- Yep.
Uh, Dr. Torres is going over the studies.
- Okay.
- Yeah.
Hold it together.
Well, a nerve extraction's
a pretty simple procedure.
Not that.
He asked me on a date,
to Dr. Bailey's wedding.
Dr. Kepner asked me.
It's a date?
It's not, like, a mentoring thing?
How is drinking champagne
and dancing to Barry White
a mentoring thing?
I thought it was, like, spending time
getting to know the interns
in a casual, stress-free environment.
That was the free-doughnuts
thing in the lounge.
This is a wedding.
I can't go on a date
with my boss.
I need to focus on my work,
not get all wrapped up
in the ladies.
Did you really just say
"the ladies"?
You're the one who just said
you couldn't concentrate in the O.R.
'cause Dr. Avery might look at
you with his limpid green eyes.
The eyes are really intense.
You've noticed it yourself, right?
- Get a grip.
- You get a grip.
Karev, did you tell Wilson
that she'd be fired for
screwing up a gastric implant?
- What?
- Is the patient gonna make it?
The patient's fine.
What the hell did she tell you?
She thinks that you set her up
to take the fall
on a risky O.R. procedure,
and it kind of sounds like you did.
It would've been risky
no matter who did it.
And I was standing right there.
The second it got hairy, I took over.
She was in over her head.
And where do you think I got the idea
to do something like that?
- What are you talking about?
- You.
I'm trying to be
like you were with me.
You let me try crap
so I got confidence in myself.
That's what I was trying to do...
Not treat the stupid morons
like the stupid morons
- that I think they are.
- I gave you opportunities.
I also gave you a boatload of
encouragement and support.
I didn't drop-kick you into
the deep end of the pool...
And yell, "Swim, idiot."
You're a teacher now.
Your students fail, you've failed.
om
Glad you're driving
yourself to the wedding.
Remind me
to stay off the roads.
Were you like this?
On my wedding day,
I remember staring at my socks
for a long time.
I had no idea what to do with 'em.
You know, ten years from now,
if the marriage is strong,
I'll look back at today and say...
"it was just a little bit of cold feet."
If we're in a nasty divorce, I'll say,
"I knew it was a mistake
the day we got married."
- You think it's a mistake?
- I just feel...
Worried.
I never felt that way with Tucker.
You were a child
when you married Tucker.
You're an adult now.
You know the world's
an ambiguous place.
You know that love
doesn't conquer all.
It conquers some stuff.
The other stuff kicks
the living crap out of love.
And this is the pep talk?
Overwhelming doubt is a problem.
A little bit of doubt is just a sign
of an intelligent adult.
Is Grey gonna be in the gallery?
No. She didn't want
to make you nervous.
I told her you don't get nervous.
You're right. I don't.
Close your eyes.
Enjoy your nap.
- You've got nothing to worry about.
- Mmm.
- Torres.
- Hmm?
You've got nothing to worry about.
- We good to go?
- Yes, we are.
Yes. We're... Yes.
Jackson,
I just want to let you know,
I'M be here watching the whole time.
Couldn't be happier.
- No mistakes.
- That's the plan.
Okay-
Are you kidding me?
Get that woman out of my gallery.
- That's not a good idea.
- Get her out.
I heard that, Avery. Edwards,
don't even think about it.
New.
- Edwards, you wouldn't dare.
You have years with me.
I can be very difficult to deal with.
15-blade, please.
You narced on me to my boss?
I worked hard to get here.
I'm not gonna let myself
- get fired because...
- Nobody's firing you.
- I was trying to help you.
- I clearly wasn't ready for it.
Why, because I had to take over?
Look, you can't go crying
to my damn boss
every time you get scared.
You can't cry at all
when you get scared
because it's scary in there
all the time.
I just thought,
maybe after I blew the appy,
I'd be a good target
if you needed to pin something
on someone.
It's paranoid. I get that.
I don't always trust people
who are trying to help me.
Yeah, yeah, you're a beaten dog
and you bite people
who try to feed you.
I don't give a crap
about your sad story.
You want to be a surgeon, you
need to get the hell over it.
You burned a bridge with me.
How about you grow up
before you burn a bridge
with every other attending
who tries to teach you something?
50 centimeters of prime nerve.
Great.
All right.
Forceps, please. Thank you.
Okay-
Is no one making small talk
because this is Derek Shepherd
on the table?
This is intricate work.
Small talk is what keeps us awake.
Well, uh...
A couple of days ago,
I helped Dr. Kepner
extract a malignant mass
from the gluteal area
of a female patient.
It was an impressively sized mass.
Who's gonna tell Dr. Shepherd
that he'll never operate again
because Ross' idea of gossip is,
he saw April Kepner
take a lump off an ass?
Brooks, suction.
All of, not half of it.
Sorry.
He's got a bunch of tattoos.
Wonder if it's some sort of a gang thing.
- I had...
- The chatter isn't helping me,
and your experience
with gangland youth
has little bearing
on how we treat this patient.
What the hell was that?
I thought this was
supposed to be amicable.
We're getting divorced
because of the lawsuit?
It will significantly
increase your chances...
- You didn't want to mention it?
- I want you to get the money.
I want all of you to get the money,
and I knew there was
a very real chance
that you would reject the idea
simply because I suggested it.
Oh, right. Because I'm
so simple-minded and petulant.
- You've been known to...
- Where do you get off
making some kind of unilateral
decision about our marriage?
How about the fact that you
moved across the country
and didn't have the courage
to do what I did
and simply ask for a divorce?
Oh, God.
So this is ballsy,
you hiding behind the lawsuit?
You couldn't just admit to me,
or God sake, yourself,
that you wanted out.
You have to let this stupid plane crash
make the decision for you.
I chose the airline!
You like it better when I decide?
I chose the airline!
We had to make a budget cut of 4%...
And we had a line item
of emergency transportation.
We never used it, and we had a...
Fancy charter company,
and I chose a... Cheaper one.
You want to know why it was cheaper?
You didn't build the plane.
People are dead.
Or fly it.
I thought you were dead.
You're not responsible.
Someone has to be.
I mean, it takes a lot of small mistakes
to destroy something,
and it's really easy
for everybody involved
just to say, "I just did
this one small thing."
A bunch of people made it possible...
For a bad plane
to take off with you, Meredith,
and Derek, and Arizona, and...
And I am one of those people.
Oh.
I think I'm having a dream
a really hot doctor
came to take care of me.
This really hot doctor is
leaving you to go to a party.
Mmm.
Callie said it could not have
gone better.
- Mmm.
- Do you have any pain?
No.
- How's Lizzie?
- Uh, she's doing well.
She was still sleeping
last time I checked.
I'll swing by on my way out.
Mwah. Hey.
It may have worked.
And we're back on the shoes.
Please don't even say it out loud.
It makes me feel even more stupid.
Just...
Tell her that I wasn't feeling well.
You've gotta be kidding me.
Do not belittle me, okay? You
have no idea what it's like...
Oh, trust me, trust me,
I am intimately familiar
with what's going on,
and I'm over it.
You are exactly the same person
you were before,
just minus a leg.
- You think it's nothing?
- No.
Oh, no, no, no, no.
I think it's everything.
And you know what?
It has been... For months.
And I have been supportive
for months.
But there comes a point
where you have to suck it up
and stop whining
and start living.
Okay, so you have one leg.
It's a wedding.
It's a wedding.
And weddings are sweet
and beautiful
and no one's gonna notice
the stupid leg
because everybody's gonna
be looking at Bailey,
and maybe for one night,
our lives can be about something
other than that damn leg.
My whole life is about that leg.
I haven't had sex in five months
because of the leg.
Enough about the leg!
Everything went smoothly.
Your vitals look great.
And Derek is awake,
and he's in good shape.
Meredith, I'm pushy. I get that.
Some people find it endearing,
and some people really don't,
but, um...
You don't have to want
Derek's truckload of sisters
in your life.
Yeah. You are a pain in the ass.
And I barely know you.
Okay, so...
I'm not very good at this.
But I'm gonna try.
I'm gonna show you something,
but you have to promise not to
blab it to the whole family.
Okay-
- Promise?
- Yeah.
Okay-
You?
Really?
- We're having a baby.
- Yeah.
'(aw!
- Let her drive you, Miranda.
- No, Mom.
I just need five minutes
with none of you touching me.
So did she bring her friend
or what?
Oh, come on.
He's the guy?
Mmm.
All right.
Was the lawsuit the only reason
you asked for a divorce?
There are many reasons.
You were...
Done a long time ago.
I'm asking about you.
Okay, let me put it another way.
I wanted to try again.
I was gonna ask you
if we could try again,
and you said,
"I want a divorce."
Come here.
Mmm.
Oh. Sorry.
I should throw this thing out the window.
- Hello.
Sir, this is Barrett in the E.R.
Your wife is on her way here.
Paramedics say she's vomiting blood.
- What?
- Adele?
She's hypotensive.
Um, hey, uh, turn the car around.
We need to go
- to the emergency room...
- Did you check her vitals?
...at Seattle Grace Hospital right now.
Wasn't this stupid thing
supposed to start already?
I'm here, sweetheart.
Why is this happening?
We're gonna find out.
How much blood has she lost?
At least a liter, a liter and a half.
- It started about 45 minutes ago.
- Oh, God! It hurts.
- Hang more L.R.
- No, not if she's lost that much blood.
She needs a transfusion
and an N.G. tube.
- I've got this, okay?
- Sir, she's your wife.
- Step back.
- Get me an N.G. tube, son.
- I can do this.
- Get me an N.G. tube
- right now.
- Okay, I got it. You hear me?
Oh.
Okay. Get out of the way.
- Okay. Central line kit, please.
Yes, Doctor.
Yeah, yeah, Leah.
Get me out of this dress now.
Adele, hi.
Can you look at me?
Hey, we're gonna take
good care of you, okay?
She's having ventricular couplets.
All right, watch for V-tach.
Prep the I.J.
Okay, you're gonna
be fine, baby. We got you.
All right.
Get the guide wire ready.
- She's losing consciousness. Bailey!
- Damn it. All right.
Uh, Barrett, take this.
Do a femoral line instead.
Uh, Leah, intubation tray.
Oh, God, Adele.
Oh, God.
Oh, come on, come on, come on.
Oh, straight to voice mail.
Um, it's possible
that I may have, by mistake,
said that if she had any doubts,
- she should flee.
- What?
Why?
Well, I kind of said
that marriage is like
a dance of death and that
leaving him at the altar
would be a painful but efficient out.
- Oh, that's nice.
- I was joking...
And she was nervous, okay?
And she wasn't sure
if it was the wedding
- or the whole thing.
- The marriage?
She was nervous.
How nervous?
How nervous was she, Callie?
Meredith". The body doesn't know
the difference
between nerves and excitement,
panic and doubt,
the beginning, and the end.
The body just tells you
to get the hell out.
Sometimes you ignore it.
That's the reasonable thing to do.
But sometimes you listen.
You're supposed to trust
your gut, right?
When your body says run...
Run.
