Surgeons are complacent people
We don't put our feet up.
- We don't sit still.
- Oh.
Whatever the game is
We like to win.
And once we win, we get a new game.
Today feels like the day to me.
I think by the close of business today,
I've got cartilage in a bottle.
- What's with you?
- You and Derek.
You're all, "don't screw the
nurses and the drug reps.
"
You did a psych rotation.
You know what happens
when you tell someone
not to think about an elephant?
You spend a lot of time
thinking about an
I walk around the hospital
trying not to make eye
contact with the women.
I'm lonely
and unhappy.
I don't see how this is a solution.
Find a grown-up who wants
what you want and date
Like a grown-up.
I don't know what that means.
Oncology's kept you
busy two rounds of chemo,
brachytherapy, two rounds
of external radiation.
Not to mention coenzymes, shark cartilage,
milk thistle.
I'm open to, you know,
pretty much anything.
- Except surgery.
- That's because surgery's not gonna work.
We'd like to hear all the options.
Well, your scans will be back any moment,
- and I'll have a look.
- Let me tell you what you'll see.
- My tumor's the size of a football.
- Audrey
it's wrapped around my organs.
And if you try to cut
it out, it'll kill me.
That's what you'll see.
We push ourselves.
Residents, attendings
it doesn't matter how much we achieve.
- If you're a climber, there's always another Mountain.
- Uh, Hunt.
These are your scans.
I was just looking around.
Uh, that's quite a tumor.
Huge.
There's probably nothing to be done.
Hmm.
You mind if I take a stab at it?
Well, it sounds strange
to you, I'm sure, but, uh,
I only have a few years left in the game,
and there may not be so
many big tumors left for me.
Of course.
- You're welcome to it.
- What are you doing?
Thanks, Hunt.
You're a good egg.
What are you doing?
I'm sure you've got work to do, Dr.
Yang.
Chart.
Oh.
Ugh.
- What are you doing?
- What?
This is a monster case, and
he just stole it from you
with some crap about
mortality and old men?
He's playing you.
What are you doing?!
All right, all right.
Um
Dr.
Webber.
Dr.
Webber, I'd like
to keep Audrey Taylor.
- She was my case
- You gave it to me.
- Oh, no, you swiped it.
- Cristina
'Cause it's got Harper
Avery written all over it.
When Dr.
Avery was here, he did mention
that I need to dive back into my research.
This case would be perfect for that
This thing is a monster.
At best it's damage control.
I'd be operating by the seat of my pants.
On the contrary.
A tumor like this
calls for a methodical
analysis of the scans,
- a careful plan
- Old-school, which
Old? Wow.
I didn't see that coming.
I I didn't not mean your
age.
I meant the approach.
- Let's not make this personal.
- You just did, ginger.
And you're right.
I've been resecting tumors
since you were in diapers.
In my experience, they demand something
a little me elegant than
"by the seat of your pants.
"
This is my patient.
Good morning.
Why are we arguing?
- That.
- Wow.
Big.
- Whose patient is this?
- Mine.
Work on it together.
Well,
the Harper Avery is an individual award.
Ah, I see where this is going.
A case like this needs an
aggressive approach that
Sloppy.
It requires a
methodical analysis
- Some would say outmoded.
- Outmoded?
- Yeah.
- All right.
There's nothing wrong
with a little friendly,
professional competition.
Come up with plans, present
'em to me.
I will choose.
- Dr.
Yang, Dr.
Grey will assist.
- Yes.
- I'm with Webber.
- What? He's got it in the bag.
Sir.
"I'm with Webber"?
Why'd you push me to do
it in the first place?
Now you'll know what your plan is
and what his plan is.
Wait.
You're you're gonna spy on him?
That's that's cheating.
You're adorable when you're slow.
You have a dark, dark mind.
Here.
Thanks.
Hey.
You working tonight?
Uh, no.
I'm going to yoga class.
Yeah, there's nothing about that statement
- that makes any sense.
- Tuck's with his father,
and the fascist vegan next door
gave me a yoga class for Christmas.
No.
You're having dinner with me.
Uh, the fascist vegan thinks
that yoga's going to
make me a better person,
which is unlikely,
but if I don't go, I'll have
to hear about it every time
"Well, my back kinda
hurts, but the breathing.
- I've never breathed like that before in my life.
"
- What?
That's what people say
after their first yoga class.
Tell her that.
Have dinner with me.
Come on.
Now try it.
My back kinda hurts,
but the breathing.
I
- I've never breathed like that in my life.
- More conviction.
I've never breathed like that in my life.
There you go.
What?
This, um, this patient
I can't find the heartbeat.
- So call the morgue,
He's sitting up.
He's talking.
Dude, you're lucky you
have a famous last name.
Take a deep breath, sir.
I'm having trouble doing that.
Oh, grow up, Todd.
When he was 9, they
removed his right lung.
And now the other one's
crapping out on me.
Or maybe you're having an anxiety attack
because I just asked
you to move in with me.
I can't find his heart.
- Oh, yeah? Me neither.
- No, I really can't.
- So who's the 40-watt
now? - I can't
- I can't
- Oh, whoa.
Get a stat chest x-ray and page cardio.
There she is by your kidney.
My heart is by my kidney?
That's why it was hard
to hear your heartbeat.
And without a second
lung in your chest cavity,
your heart sort of drifted.
It's called post-pneumonectomy syndrome.
And the shifting caused
some bronchial compression.
That's why you weren't able to breathe.
I'm the biggest *** in the world.
Can you put it back where it goes?
Yes, we're gonna use saline
implants in your chest
to keep it in place.
- Implants? Like what they use for
- Fake ***.
You want to put I can't have
No.
We're I I'm a
guy.
Okay? I'm a guy's guy.
- Well, you won't actually see them.
- Yeah, but still.
I mean, come on, man.
You know what I'm saying.
I mean, how am I supposed to, you know
What? Pick up women?
You mean how do you explain your ***
to the next chick who's
dumb enough to date you?
Molly.
Molly.
Do I have a choice?
Do you like to breathe?
So, yes, there is a surgical option.
We're just
Uh, we're still figuring
out the best approach.
The risks with the surgery are very high.
The tumor has compromised the organs
to the point where anything we
do to try to remove it would
Would kill me.
Audrey, you're not even listening to them.
Okay, it doesn't make sense.
I just want one more month.
I'm not gonna risk dying before that.
One more month?
Our daughter's getting married
in a month.
And I would like to see her do that.
I would
I would like to see her on
the happiest day of her life.
Mrs.
Taylor, if we don't try the surgery,
you might not make it through the month.
Then
I look forward to hearing
What you come up with.
- Hi, I'm Dr.
Grey.
- Hi.
Uh, he's really hot
and his stomach's hurting so much.
He was fine.
We were playing
at the zoo one minute,
- and he was fine.
I don't please.
- Okay.
All right, Noah, does
it hurt over here? Ooh.
- Ah! Ah.
- It's okay, baby.
- Okay, page Dr.
Robbins, stat.
- Right away, Dr.
Grey.
Hey, um, do you have a
minute? I've got a question.
- Sure.
- I wanted to talk to you about breast implants.
Really? Good for you.
You know, it crossed my mind
the first time I saw you,
but I didn't think you
were the type to go for it.
No.
N not not
for me.
For my patient.
Oh.
Oh.
Of course.
Hey.
Can I steal him for a quick consult?
Yeah, he's all yours.
Yeah, I was just
She's what you're looking for.
- She's age appropriate, probably wants kids.
- Yeah.
- Ask her out.
- I'm not sure that's gonna work.
Great.
Thanks.
As you were.
Teddy, I'm sorry about that.
Your *** are fantastic.
I wouldn't change a thing.
The patient.
Um, he, uh
he's got post-pneumonectomy syndrome,
and I wanted to use the
implants to stabilize his heart.
Of course.
Let me take a look.
Uh, so asking you out tonight
Probably a bad idea?
Y you think?
What?
Mark Sloan just asked me out.
Huh.
Cool.
No, no, not "cool.
" Mark Sloan.
Exactly.
Why not have a little fun?
I mean, Mark is like, uh candy.
Eat it and forget about it.
Right? Come on.
You know what?
This might be the best idea I've ever had.
Will you, uh, have to resect
a part of the diaphragm?
Well, most likely.
Or I might let you do the resection.
Really?
Yep, that or kick you off the case.
Depends on how much
you've leaked to Dr.
Hunt.
I've been doing this
a long time, Dr.
Yang.
You're working for the other side.
Now
There is another option
If you would like to
realign your allegiances.
Like be a double agent?
And we could keep looking
for more resections for you to perform.
So you think about it.
Take your time.
It's a big tumor.
Yes, I'm this close to making
headway on my cartilage,
but I keep getting 42
intern questions an hour.
Can they rotate through
your service just for today?
Oh, sure.
Thanks.
What is with you?
Nothing.
Is it the guy?
It's the guy?
- He brought you coffee?
- No.
You think I smile like this for coffee.
Uh, he's making me dinner.
He's cooking?
Wow.
You ready?
What, for food? Yeah,
I think I can handle it.
Uh, no, for sex.
What? No grow up.
Oh, give me break.
How
many dates have you had?
This'll be three.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, third date's the sex date.
And he's cooking for you at his home
Where he keeps his bed.
I barely know the man.
Well, you're gonna know
him a lot better tomorrow.
There is nothing magic about a third date.
It is possible to eat and go home
and not lose your pants in the process.
Okay.
Uh, t if it does go that way,
am I supposed to sleep over?
Oh, no.
No.
Sex on the couch.
Walk of shame to the car
under cover of darkness.
Do I wear a dress?
Unh-unh.
Casual, like like you
don't expect it's gonna happen,
- but you're ready for it to happen.
- Oh.
How ready?
Like you've prepped
the surgical field
The sur
Oh, Torres.
There is a Ukrainian woman
who works at the manicure
place across the street.
She will take care of you.
You
Oh!
You sure it's okay to
give him this much medicine
when we don't know what's wrong with him?
Okay, it's not gonna hurt him.
He needed a painkiller, Jim.
I'm telling you, he needed it.
Upper right chest and KUB are negative.
- Go get him set up for a C.
T.
with contrast.
- Okay.
How could this have happened?
- Just say it.
You think I missed something.
- Honey, I don't.
Yes, you do.
Just admit it.
Okay, fine.
Fine.
I mean, how do you
- miss a fever this high?
- Guys, this isn't gonna help.
Kids get sick.
It's no one's fault.
Yes, it is.
It's my fault.
Oh, Kelly, don't.
If you had been with
him and this happened,
I'd be blaming you.
I would kill you if you
had him and this happened.
Okay.
I need to get him in the C.
T.
I've also added an I.
V.
antibiotic because he's septic,
and I want to make sure that
we've covered everything.
Maybe he ate something off the ground?
Oh, God.
I was watching him!
Audrey Taylor's latest LFTs.
Thank you.
Dr.
Altman.
I, uh, set aside some saline implants
for your post-pneumonectomy patient.
I have a couple on hand.
Size-wise, you won't
really know what you need
until you're in there.
Can you scrub in, place them for me?
Sure.
You know, I was, um
I well, I I may actually
be free tonight a after work.
- Really?
- Yeah.
That's fantastic.
There's
a new Italian restaurant
I've been I've been meaning to try.
- Maybe you and I can
- Oh, well, Joe's is is probably fine.
- For dinner?
- No.
I mean well, I, you know, I
for a a drink and then and then
I was asking you to dinner
so that we could talk and
get to know each other.
That sort of thing.
Oh, though, that
that's that's not
I mean, I I thought that
You know
I I'm not available for dinner.
I I I'm I'm sorry.
Sloan.
Sloan.
What are
you what are you doing?
Apparently nothing.
Teddy Teddy is not one
of these women that you
you you can't just treat her
This may come as a shock to you,
but it looks like I'm the respectful adult
in this particular situation.
So how about you talk to her
about how she treats people?
How genius is this? Mark Sloan and Teddy.
- Are you serious? I just said that.
Mm.
- Shut up.
Are we so well matched that
we have all the same thoughts?
It's kinda crazy
- But it's kinda great.
- I'm just saying.
Teddy needs someone to come
in and clear out the cobwebs
and just put a little
spring back in her step.
Yeah, and father her children.
Yeah.
Wait, wait.
What? No.
Mark?
Yeah.
He he wants a wife and kids.
- Well, I told her he was a candy bar.
- What?
I didn't know.
First she said no.
Then she said yes.
- Oh, that's good.
- And then she said no again,
because she doesn't want
to have a meal with me.
She just wanted sex.
I mean,
who treats people like that
- like an object, a piece of ***?
- Well, um, I think you do.
I've changed.
Dr.
Sloan, Altman says if you're
scrubbing in, it's at 2:00.
Thanks, Karev.
You're a good man.
Hey.
Not here.
Sloan's going all psycho killer on me
smiles and crazy eyes.
I don't know what the hell he's gonna do.
What, I'm still his
property? I'll talk to him.
Don't, don't.
I gotta
operate with the guy.
You mess with him, he might
stab me with a scalpel.
Ugh.
Mark's trying to kill Alex.
- What?
- Well, I think I mentioned
sleeping with Alex was bad idea.
No, it's not a bad idea.
It's happy and easy.
You know how much mental
energy Mark took up?
You know, I I am telling you, ending it
is the best thing that coulda
happened to me, and for him.
Do you know how much happier he'd be
if he could just move on?
Looked to like he was
trying to pick up Teddy.
Well, sure.
Oh, he'll sleep with her.
He slept with Addison.
He'll
screw anything that moves.
But what, I'm supposed
to check into a convent?
Why is he hanging on like this?
You're just that good, little Grey.
There's no getting over you.
Oh
You clear the room.
Every
time, you clear the room.
Grey, uh, Audrey Taylor is
getting a new set of scans.
Could you have a look and
see if there's anything
we need to include for the presentation?
Hey, um, how's the plan coming?
Oh, good.
I think if I clamp
the aorta and the vena cava
above and below the liver
and the porta hepatis,
I should be able to carve out the tumor.
Hmm.
Interesting.
So, uh, what's the word
from the other side?
Oh, from Dr.
Webber?
Uh not much.
He, um he's still kind of flailing.
Yeah, it's sad.
You know, old guy, end of the road.
Webber doesn't flail.
You know, I'm gonna go
and see if I can help him
come up with something.
Uh he flipped her.
- We have to get those scans before she does.
- Yeah, let's go.
Ah, Dr.
Bailey.
I'm about to do a consult.
Would you like to join me? Uh, lunchtime.
Yes, but all the years
I've never seen you eat.
,
- I do things at lunchtime.
- What things?
Errands to the dentist, to get
a haircut no, not a haircut.
I'm going out.
Does that
require an interrogation?
Is that the kind of chief you want to be?
- Is that the kind of man you want to be?
- No.
I didn't think so.
Take a deep breath.
Hey, doc, my parents
got married really young,
and they freakin' hated each other
- by the time I was born.
- Sorry to hear that.
Molly thinks shacking up's all cute,
but I don't think you play
around with something like that.
- You know, people can get hurt.
- You really don't need to explain.
You think I'm a ***,
and you're getting ready to
slice me open with a knife.
I'm sure you're not a ***.
I think we found our problem.
Noah had a cyst on his
liver, and it ruptured,
and that's what's causing so much pain.
A cyst? Why would he have a cyst?
They can be congenital or infectious.
They're usually benign, but
they can rupture with pressure.
Pressure? What kind of pressure?
- You mean like a fall? Did did Noah take a fall today?
- No.
Ok, the truth is, it doesn't
matter what caused the rupture.
What matter is that we operate right away.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
We were doing bear hugs.
We were I I hugged him.
I hugged him hard.
That's when that's what did this?
- Noah? Noah?
- What's happening? Noah!
Noah.
Grey, get an O.
R.
we're going now.
I've done this 300 times,
and it's still not working.
I went to Eugenia.
Mm.
She held up two postage stamps
and asked me if was looking
for the 44-cent or the 3.
- Um, you don't have to tell me which one you picked.
- I left!
Look look, let me tell
you a little something
about my surgical field.
Okay?
I prep my surgical field
with soap and water.
I keep my surgical field
the way God made it.
Okay?
I don't need a member
of the Ukrainian KGB.
waxing it smooth so
that it can be mistaken
for the surgical field
of a 5-year-old girl.
I am a woman, and a woman
was meant to have something
on her surgical field.
If a man can't deal
with a little something
on the surgical field,
a little nature, a little God,
then that man has no business
getting near my surgical field.
Fine.
I'm not putting a gun to your head.
Let freedom ring.
Damn it.
This is not
supposed to be liquid.
What if I'm not cut out for this?
You know, what if I'm no
longer patient enough
or stupid enough to deal with this crap?
Come here.
Come here.
Come here.
You can do this.
You can do this.
You can.
This cyst was massive.
We're gonna have to do a chole
- 'cause of the intrabiliary pressure.
- Should I update his parents?
It's gonna take a lot longer than we said.
Uh, yeah, sure.
That's a good idea.
- What do I tell them?
- Doesn't matter.
I'm sorry?
Until you can say he's
awake and he's fine,
they won't hear a word.
They'll just hear white noise
and see your mouth moving.
But go.
It's good for them to see you.
Try and keep your things happy.
Jackson Avery.
Put him on our team.
Hey, are you stacking the
deck again? You're a spy.
Don't think that I don't know it.
And who started that boulder
rolling down the hill?
Okay, okay, okay.
I'm
Switzerland in this moment.
All I'm saying is that whoever
gets the surgery should use him.
- Use me for what?
- He's a liability.
Avery is not gonna give the
- award to his own grandson.
- Unh-unh.
I don't think
He won't be named a contributor.
- It'll just get mentioned over Thanksgiving
- No.
No, I won't.
- That he worked on a tumor the size of a possum.
- What's going on?
They're fighting over me.
Or more the idea of me.
- I don't really think that
- He's Harper Avery bait.
Derek's waiting for us.
Okay, the heart is
back where it came from.
Dr.
Sloan?
Two C's.
You're just gonna eyeball it?
This is what I do.
If you say so.
Syringe.
Whoa.
What, are you
afraid I'm gonna stab you?
No needle.
He's hypotensive.
Your implants are
sitting on the vena cava.
- There's too much fluid.
- No,
there's not.
Just need to reposition it.
Relax.
Thank you.
An abdominal entry is a shot in the dark.
The tumor has shoved
everything out of place.
The anatomy's a mess.
Now I'm proposing a
thoraco-abdominal approach.
You want to go in through the chest?
It's risky, yes, but not as risky
- as "I'll open up the abdomen and take a good look around.
"
- Snap.
You may end up seeding
the tumor in the lungs.
That is a danger, yes.
Impressive proposal.
It's very
Hmm
I think I feel more comfortable
with Dr.
Hunt's plan.
He doesn't have a plan.
He has an attitude.
.
It's more improvisational.
But given our situation,
I think it's our best bet.
Thanks, all of you.
Thank you.
Richard, uh
I'm sorry.
It was a good plan.
Hunt's just makes more sense to me.
Yes, because that's the way you'd do it.
That's your style.
Let me tell you about your new job.
You manage surgeons.
Your job is to help them do what they do
the way they do it.
Not to get them to do what you would do.
It takes vision, Derek.
And you don't have it.
BP's still low.
- Dr.
Sloan.
- When people rush
you, does it usually help?
No, but it would be nice
- if we didn't let him die.
- I feel the same way.
And you thought we had nothing in common.
Pressure's coming back up.
Imagine.
Dr.
Sloan.
Nice work.
What, that?
Just a hobby.
Professionally, I'm
more focused on my work
as a male escort.
We will isolate the tumor
from the blood vessels
that supply it,
and then try to extract it.
That's the plan? You'll try?
- Is that a plan?
- I wish that I could be more specific, but, uh
Until we know what we're dealing with
No, no, no.
That's not a
plan.
That's a death sentence.
- Audrey.
- Mrs.
Taylor, if this
works, it is not just a month.
It is a long time.
It's a gamble.
It's a huge one.
You are gambling away
my daughter's wedding.
Well, then, you know what,
I'll call Kim right now,
and she'll get a justice of the peace,
and she and Scott could get
married right here in this room,
- and then we could stop bothering these men.
- Don
you know, you you
don't even like weddings.
The salmon will be too dry and the flowers
will make you sneeze, and
Kim will be angry at you
because women get angry at
their mothers at their weddings
- because that's how they handle their stress.
- Stop it.
Do you think that she
cares about her wedding?
- Her mother is dying.
- Don.
They're trying to offer you
a life a whole, long life.
And, no, they can't guarantee it,
and they're not gonna know
what they're gonna find,
and it's a gamble.
But how can you not take that chance,
because of a wedding?
There'll be grandkids and and arguments
and God knows what else, and
she'll need you for those.
And I'll need you.
Your husband's right.
And so is Dr.
Hunt.
He can't foresee what
he'll find in surgery.
But he'll solve that as it comes.
That's the plan.
And it's a good one.
He did great.
- Oh.
Oh.
- He's just coming out from under anesthesia.
And he's probably gonna be in
a little pain from the surgery,
- but he's gonna be fine.
- Is this gonna happen again?
It's possible that he'll
develop a cyst in the future,
- so you're gonna have to keep an eye out.
- This was
I hugged him.
Do I not
hug him? Do we not wrestle?
You don't throw him on the ground.
Well, he's a boy.
He likes to wrestle.
It's not like I initiate it.
Of course you hug him.
And you wrestle.
You live your lives.
And if he happens to be in any great pain,
- then you know what
- So there
isn't any kind of
preventative thing that
Please let her finish.
It's okay.
I was done.
Are you ready to see him?
Yeah.
Hmm.
Somebody paged me here.
Shh.
Condoms.
I'm building cartilage from jell-o,
and you paged me for
- Condoms.
- They have them in the clinic.
No, no.
Am I supposed to bring them?
Oh.
Oh, Miranda.
Yeah, yeah.
Um guy brings the condoms.
Anyhow, I would've pegged
you for the diaphragm type.
Well, I have a diaphragm.
Diaphragms prevent pregnancies.
They don't protect against
the raft of sexually transmitted diseases.
You're a physician.
Am I
really explaining this to you?
I got it.
I got it.
Okay.
You know what? Look,
guy brings the condoms,
but sometimes they fail to
provide them on the third date
as a sign of respect.
"Oh, I never imagined
this would happen so soon.
Oh, I wasn't prepared.
" So you know what?
You should bring 'em.
Always bring 'em.
- Why trust the guy, right?
- Right.
Right.
All right.
All right.
Torres.
Hmm?
Come on.
- I can't.
I
- You can.
Walk into the clinic and take
some condoms out of the box.
Don't make me ask you twice.
I'm having trouble
telling liver from tumor.
Yep, you and me both.
Clamp.
Sorry you didn't end up
on the winning team, Yang.
Oh, sucks.
You made a ballsy play, though.
Thoraco-abdominal entry?
Well, I do what I can to keep it fresh.
Bring in the cusa.
Hang
another unit of FFP.
Need more laps.
More, more.
- Hey, you guys need some help?
- Where's Webber?
- You want me to scrub in?
- I need Webber.
Where's Webber?
I just helped Altman save her patient.
I don't know why I bothered.
She thinks I'm a piece of meat.
Look, there's plenty of
women dying to settle down.
You just gotta move on to the next one.
Uh, try, uh, what's her name in, uh, Derm?
Dinner and a conversation.
Can't wait.
- Who said dinner? Lunch.
- No, lunch is not romantic.
Well, you don't want romantic.
You want daylight and public
so you can, you know,
get to know each other.
That is the least sexy thing
I've ever heard in my life.
You've had sex.
You don't want sex.
- You want a baby.
- No, there's no way this works.
God, is it really possible
that you're this insecure?
You're not just a sex machine, Mark.
I mean, look, don't get me
wrong.
You've got skills.
But you're a good person.
- Why do you think little Miss Muffet fell for you?
- Lexie left.
Well, because she was too young.
It was about her, not you.
Wow.
You really don't
believe any of this, do you?
Okay.
Listen
you're a good guy.
You're worth getting to know
In daylight.
This is not gonna work, Dr.
Hunt.
The chest isn't an
option anymore, Richard.
- This is what we've got.
- I'm not pitching my solution.
I'm saying we should think a minute.
Okay, I've isolated the blood supply
and mobilized the liver, but
I can't get enough exposure
to get to the tumor.
What if we lift the liver up
and give you more visibility?
Well, that would help with the periphery,
but I can't I still have
to deal with the vessels.
I wish we could take
just take the damn thing out.
Well, why not?
Let's take the liver out.
I can clean off the tumor ex vivo.
You can work on the vascular
supply in the cavity.
- Will it work?
- No one's ever tried that before.
- She's crashing.
- If you're trying something, now is the time.
Hunt.
Okay, extracting the liver.
Okay, let's go.
Okay, more laps.
- Suction.
A lot of suction.
- Hurry.
The surgery went great.
Everything is back where it should be.
- And Todd's gonna be fine.
- Oh, my God.
Thank you.
Do you think
I should go see him?
Well, he's still a bit groggy.
I mean, do you think he wants to see me
after I stormed out?
How did he seem? Did he seem upset or
I just I love him.
And I was a little crazy.
I mean, he practically had
a heart attack or whatever,
and I I acted a little crazy.
When you feel like you love someone
more than he loves you,
that can make you a little crazy.
It can make you a lot crazy.
You know, Webber really
came up with the idea
to take out the liver.
Maybe if Owen, uh, agreed to
- take his name off of it.
- Will you give it up?
Hunt was more than halfway done
by the time the idea even surfaced.
- There's no Harper Avery.
- Waste.
No, it's not a waste.
It's exactly what my
grandfather had in mind
when he came up with the stupid thing
find some way to keep surgeons motivated,
make them take it to the next level
even if they're already
at the top of their game.
And that's exactly what it did today.
This message was brought to you
by the Harper Avery Foundation of America.
Donations to the foundation can be made at
-You're kind of a ***.
You know that?
- What?
- It was inspiring.
Mrs.
Taylor's gonna need a post-op note.
I'll do it.
Good work today, Grey.
We're a good team.
You know, we're not a team.
Cristina and I are a team.
I watched you today
watch Teddy and Mark.
I was she's my friend,
and Mark Sloan is a public health hazard.
You were jealous.
It took a long time to make her happy.
And she's finally happy.
And if you mess with that,
I will turn on you.
That's a team.
Maybe you should, uh,
leave this to the bioengineers.
Mm, tried it.
They said it won't work.
Well, maybe that's 'cause it won't work.
No, they're just not
invested in it like I am.
Hmm.
Holy it
It's not liquid.
- Arizona, it's not liquid!
- Oh, my God.
Oh, God.
Oh, my God.
Do
you know what you did?
I, uh, I don't know.
I don't know.
I gotta I gotta I gotta do it again.
I'm on fire.
And it's
not just this.
It's
Everyone came to me for
relationship advice today.
And I gave them sane and healthy advice.
I mean, whether they take it or not,
I am seen as someone
sane and healthy enough
to give advice.
I mean, when I lived in the basement,
when I when I married
an intern in Vegas,
I I wasn't seen that way.
You're amazing.
We're amazing.
I mean, we're the stable couple now.
We're the one everyone wants to be.
I mean, I could just
see us ten years from now
in a big old house
with kids running around
and giving sage, sane
advice to Mark Sloan,
who will still be single.
Well, I'm in it for all but the kids.
What?
Mm.
No kids.
And by no, I mean, "yikes.
"
No to the kids.
You're joking, right? I
mean, you're in pediatrics.
Yeah.
Exactly.
I mean, this kid Noah comes in today.
And he's fine one minute,
then his mom gives him a hug,
- and he lands in my O.
R.
nearly dead.
- But you saved him.
Yeah, but his parents? They're
they're they're a hot mess.
I mean, they'll never sleep well again.
But the big house? I'm in.
Ooh, and can we have dogs and chickens?
I have this weird thing for chickens.
I'd love to have dinner sometime,
if if if you're still up for it.
I'm not taking you to dinner.
Oh.
I will take you to lunch
Saturday afternoon, in broad daylight.
We'll eat at a public place,
then maybe take a walk
on a crowded street.
We'll get to know each other.
See if we have an interest
in the same kind of future,
because
I want to build a life
and a family.
And I'm not wasting my time
on someone who doesn't
share that interest.
Okay, then.
You know, I used to grill.
You're out in the air.
You got your slab of beef.
It's a very masculine activity.
- But you ever try to grill in Seattle?
- I haven't.
You stand around in the rain
in a raincoat with the hood up.
And let me tell you, there
is nothing manly about a hood
and a soggy slab of beef.
Uh, okay.
Look, here's the thing
I don't do things because
there's a timeline.
I don't do things because
it's the third anything.
I may have been out of the
dating game for a while,
but I don't play
by anyone's rules other than my own.
So whatever expectations
you walked into this evening with
Are are you lecturing me?
- No.
I
- No, you are.
You lecture people.
I think because most
people are scared of you,
so nobody's willing to interrupt you
once you get on a roll, but,
uh, I'm not scared of you.
So the lecture thing is not gonna work.
We're gonna have to have a conversation.
Don't worry.
Just ask me a question,
and then I'll answer it, and
then you get another turn.
Go ahead.
Are you under the impression
that we're going to have sex tonight?
Because if that's the case, I
Ask the question.
Don't
answer the question.
I'll answer the question.
And, uh, no, I'm not assuming
that we'll have sex tonight.
You're a grown woman.
Neither of us, I believe, is
looking for something ***.
So I kinda thought, third
date was a little early.
What do you think?
Me, too.
I
Can I make a statement or just questions?
A statement is fine.
I
Uh, have never had sex with
anyone other than my husband
former husband.
So it's not something
you get into lightly.
No.
Neither do I.
What else?
When do you think is the right time?
I don't know.
I like to think we'll
know it when we see it.
Probably somewhere between
date 8 and date 12, though.
Oh, no concern we'll end up just friends?
That what you're looking for?
No.
Me neither.
Ok, um
I don't want to be your friend.
I have enough friends.
They take pictures of mountain climbers
at the top of the mountain.
They're smiling
Ecstatic
Triumphant.
Ah, Richard.
I understand your patient's doing well.
Hunt's patient.
He says he couldn't
have done it without you.
I'm sorry I didn't
Yeah, don't.
You're doing
your job.
It isn't easy.
True.
I'm not necessarily all
that good at it yet though.
No, you're not.
Really?
You couldn't give me one kind word?
- Not one?
- They don't take
pictures along the way,
'cause who wants to
remember the rest of it?
We push ourselves because we have to,
not because we like it.
Hey.
How was Mark? Did he do anything?
Oh, he was totally cool.
I think he's into Altman now.
Teddy? Oh, come on.
He's just trying to make me
think that he's moving on.
Well, it looked real.
He
wants to take her to lunch.
He's all, like, "let's take it
slow and get to know each other.
"
I think she went for it.
Hey.
You okay?
Yeah.
Mark's moving on.
Like really.
Okay.
Well, that's good, isn't it?
Isn't that what you wanted?
No.
It's it's it's it's great.
It's that's, um, that's perfect.
It's.
It's per it's perfect.
The relentless climb
the pain and anguish of
taking it to the next level
Nobody takes pictures of that.
Nobody wants to remember.
We just want to remember
the view from the top
the breathtaking moment
at the edge of the world.
That's what keeps up climbing.
And it's worth the pain.
That's the crazy part.
It's worth anything.
