Previously on "Grey's anatomy"
I was dead.
Now I'm not.
Anybody come looking for me yet?
- No hits from missing persons, plus
- My face is hard to identify.
Anyone know who the new
chief candidate is?
Colin Marlow.
The one and only.
- He
- Yes.
- With
- Yes.
Your best friend violently
disses our marriage
every chance she gets
She has feelings for you!
Is she crazy?
Surgeons always have a plan
where to cut,
where to clamp,
where to stitch.
But even with the best plans
complications can arise,
things can go wrong
and suddenly
you're caught with your pants down.
Wow.
You and George were
really going at it last night.
What?
Oh, the laughing,
the drinking, the music
Okay, you know what?
Nobody, meaning me,
needs to hear George's rendition of
"sexy back" at 3:00 in the morning.
You shoulda You shoulda just,
you know, said something or
banged on the wall.
It's like living
in a youth hostel.
Well, the important thing is,
is that she and George made up.
You did, right?
I need to use your bathroom.
- Why?
- Because O'Malley is puking in mine.
- Okay, youth hostel.
- George is still here?
Yes.
Yes, but only because
he was too drunk to drive home.
You know, just totally impaired,
like no-heavy-machinery drunk.
- What's her problem?
- Still drunk.
What's she doing here?
She's afraid she's ruining
her engagement to Burke
- so she's hiding from him.
- Not anymore.
I have a plan.
Burke doesn't want me to
marry him just to appease him-
- Which you are
- So
we don't get married.
Simple.
We go back to the way it was.
"Be kind.
Rewind.
"
My plan has a name.
I gotta go.
Gotta get to work.
I'll see you guys there.
Is that George?
You said he was upstairs puking.
So now he's downstairs puking.
- Izzie.
- George.
What the hell happened last night?
Callie is gonna kill me.
Did I at least call her
before I passed out?
No.
You don't
you don't remember?
I remember the bourbon
and, uh
I don't
Where did you sleep?
- Big day.
- Yeah.
What time's your interview
with the board?
Well, if you have
any questions, please
Yes, thank you.
I think
I have everything well in hand.
That's a big folder.
It's, uh, it's nothing.
It's, uh, just
a few ideas I have for Seattle Grace.
A 10 year plan,
which, uh, really is
just a few tweaks.
What did, uh, Einstein say?
Newton did the work, I'm merely
standing on his shoulders.
And in this scenario,
I'm Newton.
George
- Hey.
- Hey.
- You look nice.
- I look insane.
I'm wearing pearls.
- Listen
- Listen, about, last night
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- I, uh, had
we're gonna have to put a pin in that
for now, because as of this moment,
you and I are the perfect couple.
Okay?
We are the perfect,
happily married couple
who are perfect and
and never fight,
because, uh,
because my dad's in town.
- What?
- Yeah.
My dad's in town,
and, uh,
he wants to meet my husband.
Oh, hey.
The O'Malleys.
Carry on.
Do your stuff, your
married stuff.
Yay!
You told her about our fight?
- Just when exactly is he coming?
- Today.
Lunch.
Cafeteria.
But you know what?
I think I'm gonna change it to Joe's
so he might not be able to tell
that stink's coming from you.
- No, it's okay.
It's gonna be okay.
- Oh God.
I'm good with parents.
- Parents love me.
- Oh, yeah.
Funny,
funny, funny little man.
Funny little smelly little man.
Get in the shower, okay?
- It's gonna be okay.
- Just get in the shower.
I know.
You'll see.
He's gonna love me.
Oh! No.
What's this?
We bring each other coffee.
This is what we do.
No, it's what we used to do,
before you moved in.
We started making coffee at home.
You know, I'm not really interested
in going back to the way it used to be.
So unless you have
something else to say to me
I've already had my coffee.
- Good morning, doctors.
- Good morning.
Big day today, huh?
Good luck to all
and sundry, hey?
He has a 10 year plan.
What?
He's presenting the board with a
He's only been here a day.
Did you see that folder?
It's full of plans,
"tweaks" for my hospital.
This is our computer-generated approximation
of your original facial structure
based on the 3-d C.
T.
Scans we did.
It's what you could look like after
reconstructive surgery.
or you could look like this.
or this.
You don't like them?
No, it's not that.
It's
How does this work exactly?
He'll make an incision along
your hairline, and then
It's okay.
I can take it.
He'll literally
pull your face off.
It sounds a lot worse than it is.
Your face is extremely elastic,
and pulling it down allows me to
repair the bone fractures underneath
without causing any scaring.
And once you've healed, no one will
ever know you had the surgery.
I'm that good.
He is.
It's annoying.
The surgery won't affect my baby?
I'll be monitoring
the baby throughout.
- Okay?
- Okay.
So then I just have to pick one?
Do I have to pick one now?
Take a couple hours
and think about it.
Couple hours yeah.
Dr.
Bailey.
Chief, our Jane Doe is
getting a new face today.
Well, that's exciting.
How are you doing, Meredith?
You didn't take too much
time off after
I'm fine.
Really, sir.
I think working
is the best thing I can do.
Like mother, like daughter,
Dr.
Grey, what can you tell me
about reconstructing the orbital floor?
You can create a new base
for the eye socket
by harvesting bone from the skull.
Dr.
Bailey, Dr.
Grey will be scrubbing
in on the Jane Doe surgery.
Come on.
I'll show you how to do it without
breaking the bone graft
into a million pieces.
- Congratulations, Dr.
Grey.
- Okay, let's go, people.
Oh, wait, wait, wait.
I need to talk to you.
Why?
Uh, to prepare you guys
for what you're about to see.
You meant
You meant "you" like "us",
not like "me".
You don't you don't want to talk
to me, you want to talk to us,
about a pat about a patient.
That's what I just said.
Uh, this patient has a disease so rare
that you'll probably never see it again
F.
O.
P.
Oh, uh, fibrodysplasia
ossificans progressiva?
Yeah.
It's a congenital disease
which turns muscle into bone.
You become a human statue.
So just, uh, try to learn.
Try not to stare, okay?
If you people are interns,
you need to stand back.
Nina, please don't be rude.
My mother still has movement in her
face and hands.
I would like to keep it
that way, so please be careful.
If you press too hard during an exam
or bump into her accidentally,
it causes a bone to grow
where a bone shouldn't grow
So there can be no accidents.
Okay, remember that when
you're dealing with her today.
It's just a stomach virus or a fluw.
I'm sure it's nothing.
- Nina insisted that I come in.
- She was vomiting blood
and going through her pain meds
like they were candy.
And she has new growths
on her back,
no doubt caused by some clumsy
interns on her last hospital stay.
Well, obviously you're having
a flare-up of the F.
O.
P.
,
But what really concerns me
is the vomiting.
So I'm gonna need a C.
T.
,
see what's going on.
Did you build that?
- My mom did.
- No, Nina did it.
- I used to do it I'm not able to.
- It keeps her active.
When she's active,
she has fewer flare-ups.
Plus it makes her happy
and relaxed.
Good.
Okay.
Can I work in the clinic today?
You don't want the F.
O.
P.
Case?
Clinic? Why?
What's going on in the clinic?
Nothing.
I just feel clinic-Y.
That's not a word.
I'll take the clinic.
Cristina!
You both can go to the clinic.
The board is interviewing the chief
candidates all day today,
so we're light on surgeries.
O'Malley.
Yes?
- You're with Dr.
O'Malley.
- Okay.
What am I supposed to do?
Find Dr.
Montgomery.
See if you can help with Jane Doe.
I showered twice.
It's coming out of
your pores, George.
You reek, you're trembling,
and there's no way
I'm letting you near my patient
right now.
Dr Bailey.
- Don't tell Bailey.
Don't tell bailey.
- Bailey
Uh, with mrs.
Rogerson's limited
mobility, I'm gonna, uh, need
an extra set of hands.
Fine.
Stevens.
Yang will handle the clinic.
You'll be with the O'Malleys today.
It's my foot.
It hurts like crazy.
I'm gonna need a painkiller.
Can't spend the whole day
propped on an ice pack.
Uh, you're gonna need
to take off your shoe.
No, no, no, no.
I've been
down this route before.
Just slip me a couple painkillers,
and I'll be on my way.
Sir, uh, did you go
to medical school?
I did.
Take off your shoe.
You have type 2 diabetes.
Ten years now.
Yeah, well, you inspect your feet
every day.
Have you noticed anything?
I notice it hurts.
Look, I got 30 guys sitting on their ***
waiting for me to show up.
Sir, I get it.
You're in a hurry.
That makes the two of us.
Sock.
You need to call your guys
and tell them you're not coming in.
- Did you choose a face?
- Not yet.
I was hoping I'd see one of 'em
and, I don't know,
recognize myself or something, but
I don't recognize
any of these women.
What if I choose the wrong one?
What if my husband or boyfriend
or whoever's baby this is
shows up tomorrow with a
with a picture of what
I'm supposed to look like,
but it's too late, and I'm stuck with
the wrong face for the rest of my life?
Okay, that would suck,
but if you don't pick one
This is gonna be your face
the rest of your life.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Shouldn't you be preparing
for your board interview?
I am.
You're hovering.
No, I'm breathing you in.
You're hovering.
Fine.
I'm hovering.
If cristina would sleep in her own bed,
I wouldn't have to hover at work.
I could hover in bed.
A different type
of hovering perhaps.
How bad is it today,
on a scale of one to ten?
- Seven.
Maybe a six.
- Good.
You know what's gonna make it
even better than that?
What?
The calvarial bone harvest I get to do
on Sloan's Jane Doe later.
Sloan's gonna let you do a harvest
- By yourself?
- By myself.
Which makes me very cool in the
eyes of my dead mother, by the way.
Okay, then.
Well, I better let you study.
Better stop distracting me.
I will not be cool in the eyes of
my dead mother if I maim Jane Doe.
We're gonna need you to lie very still,
mrs.
Rogerson.
I think I can do that,
Dr.
O'Malley.
Sorry about that,
mrs.
Rogerson.
Oh.
I'm never
gonna drink again.
I can't believe I have to be
presentable for Callie's dad at lunch.
oh, God.
Hours Hours of our lives
Many hours that are
all I can think about,
and you seriously don't remember?
How can you not remember
those many, many hours?
Izzie, if
Whatever I did, whatever I said,
I was drunk.
I'm sure I didn't mean it.
George, I promise you, you meant it.
You meant it a lot.
You meant it more than once.
Do you see that?
We gotta page callie.
You'll be pleased to hear I'm proposing
an expansion to the hospital board
this afternoon.
Give you quite
a few more places to hide.
I'm not going to hide.
I'm just trying to find my resident.
I come here to Seattle to see you,
and you don't even give me a moment?
You didn't come here to see me.
- You came here to get a job.
- I came here for both.
Well, you made a mistake.
Are you going to invite me?
- Where?
- To the wedding.
Will you stop talking
about the wedding?
Most blushing brides to be
love to talk about the wedding.
What's the matter?
Are we getting cold feet.
Please leave.
If he's rushing you,
you should tell him.
When you marry,
you want to be ready.
He should understand that.
Good afternoon, board.
No.
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen
of the board.
I am so grateful
for this opportunity.
Don't wear the glasses.
You fiddle with 'em.
It makes you look indecisive.
And stop stressing.
It'll be like
any other job interview.
"What do you consider your strengths?
What do you consider your weaknesses?"
What do you consider
your weaknesses?
I don't have any.
I'm that good.
What are yours?
I'm an easy Mark
for evil redheads.
Trust me, you have other weaknesses.
Obviously
- You are a man-***.
- Correction.
I was a man-***.
Yeah, well, while you're bragging
about that to the board,
Colin Marlowe is pitching
his 10 year plan.
Was that a requirement?
It is now.
Mrs.
Rogerson, according to your C.
T.
,
You have severe internal bleeding.
It was probably caused by your
anti-inflammatory medication.
Does that require surgery?
Because she can't have any
Obviously any surgical procedure
could cause more bone growth
or do more damage than good.
That's why Dr.
Burke's here.
What we can do is insert
a line into your groin
and then float a catheter up
and embolize the area.
That's minimally invasive?
As minimally invasive as possible.
But
with your condition, even this is risky.
I'm 41 years old.
Most F.
O.
P.
patients
don't live to 45.
I'm down to the use of
my face and hands.
Pretty soon I won't have anything.
So what would happen
if I refuse the surgery?
You will bleed to death
within a day or two.
Is that painful?
- Mom, stop, okay?
- Nina, please.
- Let me think.
- The reason you've gotten this far
Our treatment plan works.
It will work.
Burke is using powerpoint.
He's doing a powerpoint presentation
for the board, which is
cool if it's, like, 1998.
There's no swag, is there?
We're not allowed to give gifts?
Why did you ask Meredith
to do a bone graft
on your Jane Doe?
Because I'm her teacher,
and that's my job.
You're doing it
to impress the chief.
You're setting her up,
and she can't fail right now.
Why don't you let your girlfriend
decide what she can or can't do?
I will hurt you
if this goes wrong for her.
Is that a dollhouse?
Yeah.
The lights work and everything.
It's the perfect little home.
Oh.
Did you have
a dollhouse growing up?
I had sex last night
With the wrong person.
But the thing is, it didn't feel wrong
at the time.
It felt like
something was falling into place.
So what do I do?
What am I, the go-to person
for adultery?
No.
I just
I just don't know what to do.
You stop.
That's what you do.
Are you sure?
I mean, how do you know that
it didn't feel so right because
It's God's plan?
God wants you
to be an adulterer?
God got a *** pregnant by magic.
God is not playing by the rules.
Talk to Paul.
Mr.
Kendry.
No, Paul will get you drywall numbers.
- Mr.
Kendry.
- Okay.
Let me just write a couple
notes about that call.
Mr.
Kendry, we're gonna
have to amputate your foot.
What?
The infection is in the bone.
If we don't remove the foot,
it will travel to your blood, and that
will cause sepsis and possible death.
I'm sorry.
How can you be so
I mean, I.
.
I can't get around a
No, no.
You're not cutting off my foot.
Sir, diabetes is a manageable disease.
If you had been here even a month ago,
- maybe we could've-
- Okay, so I screwed up.
But you're telling me
that this is my only option
because I'm late getting in here?
- That there is no way
- Mr.
Kendry
No!
Please.
There's gotta be a way
for me to get that month back.
Tell me what to do.
I'll do it.
I'll do
every line of every plan you give me.
I'll do it.
Please.
You gotta find a way
to save my foot.
Hey, what do you think of a robotics lab
as a goal for the hospital?
- Derek
- You're harvesting.
I'm trying to be supportive
But this graft, it's really tricky.
You don't have to do it, you know?
- I talked to Mark, and, uh-
- You what?
I talked to Mark.
I mean, Meredith, this is a
- It's a complex procedure-
- You don't think I can do it?
When has Mark Sloan
allowed his interns to do anything,
let alone harvest a bone graft?
He's in the race for chief.
- He's trying to prove he can teach.
- By teaching you.
Your mother died, and the chief is gonna
be watching you very closely.
- And Mark is trying to gain points by
- Using me.
If it goes well, he gets the credit.
If it goes poorly, he gets the save.
- So this is about you onupping Mark.
- He's using you.
I'm just trying to protect you.
You don't need to.
Close the door on your way out.
- Can I help you with those, Dr.
Bailey?
- What do you want?
See, that's what I like about you.
You always get right to the point.
Make it quick.
I'm headed over to the clinic.
All right.
What would you change about
this hospital if you could?
Is this for your board interview?
You want me to do your homework for you
because I'm not busy enough, is that it?
All the other attendings are
putting together 10 year plans.
I was
just looking for some input.
Input? You want
I have patients in need
of medical attention right now.
This guy here is about
to have one less appendage.
I don't have a 10 year plan for him.
I have a "right now" plan for him
Cut off his foot
to save his life.
So you need to get out of my way
right now so I can do my job.
- Right now?
- Right now.
Talk to me about blackouts.
Are they real?
Do you really not remember
anything afterwards?
Iz, I'm fine.
Not drinking.
I'm not drowning my sorrows.
Fine.
Everybody needs to stop
trying to protect me.
This isn't really about you.
I'm asking, back when you had
a best friend named tequila,
did you actually ever blackout?
Once.
No, twice.
But the stuff you don't remember
is usually the stuff
you don't wanna remember.
Right.
Great.
Thanks.
Hey, I have type 2 diabetes.
Patient let it go, and
the infection is in the bone.
I have to find a fix
or cut off the foot.
Anyone? Anybody?
You get to cut off his foot? Cool.
You think no, not cool.
The patient was neglectful.
He made a couple of bad calls.
I mean, does that mean he has no hope?
Does that mean he can't have a do over?
But you get to cut
through bone and stuff.
We're talking about Burke now.
We are?
Operation "be kind.
Rewind.
"
Not going so well?
You need to fix it.
'Cause it seems like you guys
have a pretty good thing,
and pretty good things are rare
and hard to come by,
unlike really screwed up,
complicated things, which
- Seem to be freakin' everywhere.
- You know what?
Things are great.
I'm gonna get things back
to the way we were.
Watch me.
Has Jane Doe picked a face?
No, not yet.
How cool would that be,
to get to pick your own face, just
Disappear and start all over?
How you doing?
How am I doing?
I'm freaking out, Alex.
That's how I'm doing.
I can't do this.
I can't pick.
I can't.
All right.
Okay.
Well, let's, uh
Let's meet the contenders, all right?
Let's see.
This
This is Maggie.
Married her high school sweetheart,
has two kids
Boy and girl.
Loves being a mom,
coaches her daughter's
basketball team and
makes an insane banana cream pie.
Banana cream pie?
It's my favorite, so shut up.
And this is
Elizabeth
Graduated from Northwestern.
Met her husband at a
political rally where they
got arrested and fell in love.
She's all angry and fired up,
but everyone forgives her
because she means well.
Ahh wow.
This one
This one's Ava.
She's funny, she's tough,
You know, little neurotic sometimes,
but you get used to it.
You can tell she's She's been through
a lot in her life, but
it's only made her stronger, you know?
It's just, your daughter,
the way she
You know, she's sort of undeniable.
And, uh, after I lost my father, I
Realized, you know, that life is short.
And it's
It's long, too
Short and long.
Life
He talks a lot.
No, no.
He he he talks.
Like a like a
Like a person who talks, dad.
Please.
Do you have any idea
what you've done to your mother?
You make this decision, the most
important day of your life
We didn't even know
she was seeing someone.
Are you pregnant?
- Did you get my daughter pregnant?
- No.
- No.
- Daddy, no, it is not
No.
This is George,
Okay? He's not like the other guys
I've been with.
Clean as a whistle,
and a mathlete.
He has no money.
- You have money.
- Oh, come
I didn't know that Callie was well-off.
She just told me.
Really?
Really? Well, then you won't
mind if the house,
the car and everything else
we'll provide
will be in Calliope's name.
- Uh, what house?
- You're a married woman now.
I'll find something suitable.
It's all
here in the postnuptial I've drawn up.
- I'm sorry.
The
- Oh!
- Dad!
- I'm sorry.
It's all right.
That's okay.
You know what? You
raise a family.
- No.
- What?
No, that's not gonna happen.
There's no way I'm gonna let you pay
for anything.
I can't
we can't, uh Callie,
I'm so sorry.
Mr.
Torres,
I'm sorry, but the answer is no.
You remembered.
That's really coming along.
It looks great.
Thanks.
We've been working on it for months.
But when I say "we", I mean "she".
I just hold things and look pretty.
That can be hard work, too.
I'm gonna need to draw some blood
for, uh, your surgery.
Be careful.
You can only use one specific vein
in this area here.
- Oh!
- I said be careful.
- I'm so sorry.
- That's okay.
No, it's not.
If she gonna be that
clumsy, she's not drawing your blood.
Nina, she's just doing her job.
Not very well.
I'm going to get
a nurse, a senior nurse.
- Oh, Nina, stop.
- No, mom.
Do not let her touch you.
We can't be too careful.
You're not taking her blood.
She's not even a person anymore.
You know what I mean?
- Mrs.
Rogerson
- I know I'm gonna die.
You know, maybe not today, but soon.
I just need to talk, you know?
Nina won't let me talk.
I just need to talk.
No coffee.
One more thing for Marlowe to tweak.
Please tell me you're not coming up
with a 10 year plan for this hospital.
You can me up with all the plans
you want, but in the end, it just
Doesn't make one bit of difference.
- Things happen.
People just
- Drown?
Yeah, you know, when I pulled her
out of the water, it was
She was like ice.
She can swim.
Richard, she's
She gave up.
I close my eyes for a moment,
it's like she's back in the water.
I'm up, and I just listen
to her breathe, you know?
Just
In case she stops.
So I can come up with plans
for the hospital, but
But if they ask me where
I'm gonna be in ten years
George.
Mr.
Torres.
You want to take care of her
in your own way.
I understand that.
I respect it.
But you have to understand,
she's my only little girl, George.
And you need to promise me that you
will love her and protect her,
because the minute that you hurt her
You understand?
Good.
Then I'll tell Callie's mother
she can plan the party.
What pa what?
Your wedding party.
- Oh, dad, come on.
- Oh, no, please, Mija.
For my sanity,
Mija, just let her plan a party.
All right, all right.
Okay.
All right.
I have a plane to catch.
Come here.
George.
Bye, dad.
You stood up to him.
Nobody does that.
I was all proud.
So listen
About last night, I don't know
about you, but personally
I'd like to take back about 90% of it.
Me, too.
Good.
Good.
Okay.
Then go
Go find Izzie and help her prep
Mrs.
Rogerson.
I'll see you in surgery.
You here to keep my baby alive?
I am.
Good.
So?
So
Call me Ava.
You been practicing? You know
the chief will be watching today.
The chief.
Right.
Of course.
"Of course" what?
Derek was right about you.
You're using the memory
of my dead mother
to win points with the chief.
It's despicable,
and I'm not gonna play.
The chief
The way he was looking
at you this morning
Was like you were some beaten down puppy
he picked up off the side of the road.
You do this procedure
and you do it well,
he'll start looking at you
like a surgeon again.
But, you know
You wanna think of me as despicable,
you wanna pass up this
shot, that's up to you.
They're doing amazing things
with prosthetics these days.
This doesn't mean your life is over.
Uh, take him up to the O.
R.
I'll meet you there.
You've got your board thing now?
The chief picked you
Originally.
You were always supposed to
be the next chief.
That was the plan.
That was a long time ago.
A lot has happened since then.
But you're still that guy.
- You're the guy the chief chose.
- No, I'm not.
I'm not that guy, Cristina,
and I wouldn't want to be.
I want to be better than that.
I'd like to believe that I've grown.
I want to move forward.
I'm not interested in going back.
Dr.
Burke.
You ready?
Osteotome and hammer.
All right, use the curved osteotome
to elevate the external table.
Gently.
- How's it looking?
- Still see bleeding.
The platinum microcoils
They aren't holding.
What about using a gelatin sponge?
I've already tried polyvinyl alcohol,
glue, microcoils nothing's working.
B.
P.
'S dropping to 62 systolic.
- We're gonna have to open her up.
- If you open her up, she's dead.
If we don't, she's dead.
Beginning amputation.
Fine amputation, Yang.
Beautiful.
Wait.
- Now they're laughing.
- Laughing?
They're laughing.
Well, they can't be laughing with him.
They have to be laughing at him.
I'm surprised you don't have a shot
glass pressed up against that window.
- We weren't listening.
- Just
listening.
- We weren't vesdropping.
Let me show you the new clinic.
Hey, chief.
So?
If you ask me, you all could stand
to borrow a page from Dr.
Sloan's book.
Sloan?
You're kidding right? That's a joke?
He didn't get caught up in this
whole 10 year plan foolishness.
He said he had a "right now" plan
for Seattle Grace.
A right now plan?
Is that right?
The board ate it up.
To tell you the truth, so did I.
I should've brought her in sooner
The first time she threw up.
I knew better.
- Nina, there was nothing any of us could
- No.
It was a mistake.
Your mother
Talked to me.
She wasn't ready to leave you, but
she was ready to leave her body.
Please.
I don't need you to explain the relative
comforts of death for my mother.
What she was afraid of
was that you had taken on so much of her
disease that you were freezing up, too.
You've spent so much time
planning and
Helping her avoid risk
God knows, that's
what you should've been doing but
She was worried.
You have a healthy body, Nina.
If you
fall down, you won't turn to stone.
And your mom so wanted you
to just let yourself fall.
Messing up
It's what makes a person.
It's how we learn
Where we find joy
In the things
you don't plan for,
the things you never see coming.
Okay.
It happened.
It was a mistake, and it happened.
People make mistakes.
We need to figure out
where we go from here.
We need to figure out
how to tell Callie.
I'm not gonna tell Callie.
Do you know how much
this would hurt her?
.
I'm not gonna clear
my conscience at her expense
She has done nothing but
support me, encourage me and believe
in me, and this is how I pay her back?
No, I have to live
with what I did.
This is our secret, okay?
Okay.
The thing about plans is,
they don't take into account
the unexpected.
So when we're thrown a curveball
whether it's in the O.
R.
Or in life
How are you feeling?
We have to improvise.
I'm a guy without a foot.
What do I do now?
You move forward, you
You follow the plan, and you try
and keep your other foot.
My other foot.
Right.
Of course, some of us
are better at it than others.
I'm impressed, Karev.
You spent the whole day watching
a fetal monitor and never complained.
- Well, I do what I'm told.
- Since when?
Depends on who's doing the telling.
Good night, Dr.
Karev.
What was that?
Hey, how's Ava?
I don't think I'm gonna know the answer
to that for a little while.
What do you say we talk about
you and the redhead instead?
Well, the redhead's my boss, so
- So?
- So it's complicated.
- And?
- And
Some of us just have to
move on to plan B
and make the best of it.
It has to be small
Just you and me
And Meredith And.
.
And Shepherd, too,
if you want.
But that's it.
And a justice of the peace.
I know you're
spiritual and stuff, but
I I don't want any rabbis
or ministers, nothing religious.
We'll just
make an appointment
at city hall, and
that'll be that.
And no veil.
I don't want to get married
with mosquito net all over my face.
I let Mark use the memory of my mother
to win points with the chief.
You were right.
I'm sorry.
- You know what's weird?
- What's weird?
It's exactly what she would have wanted.
- Dead mommy's proud?
- Dead mommy's proud.
How was your interview?
Not great
It wasn't great.
I was distracted.
By what?
Nothing.
I don't know.
On a scale of one to ten,
how bad is it?
Eight.
How about now?
Seven.
And sometimes
How about now?
Six
What we want
Five.
Is exactly what we need.
- Four, three
But sometimes
I can smell your clothes
through the closet door.
Did you tie them up
in a plastic laundry bag?
Yeah.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Well, I guess I can live with it.
Sometimes what we need
is a new plan.
