[Bailey] Previously on Grey's Anatomy:

I want Seattle Grace
to open a free clinic.

- Why?
- I need something to hold on to.

- You still need funding.
- I have eight million dollars.

The Denny Duquette Memorial Clinic.

[all talking at the same time]

- What's all this about?
- They all want to be Chief.

She's in a nursing home. Alzheimer's.

I gave up everything for him.
I should never have had a kid.

- Marry me, Cristina Yang.
- Marry me.

[Meredith] As surgeons, we live in
a world of worst-case scenarios.

We cut ourselves off
from hoping for the best

because too many times
the best doesn't happen.

But every now and then,
something extraordinary occurs.

["Runaway" playing]

♪ Where's those things of mine ♪

♪ Back them up, put them out ♪

♪ 'Cause there's not much time ♪

♪ Oh, I didn't know
that you had feelings too ♪

[Meredith] And, suddenly,
best-case scenarios seem possible.

- Eight days. Eight million dollars.
- And we're open for business.

[Meredith] And every now and then,
something amazing happens.

She woke up completely aware.
She's her old self.

It happens. Medically, we don't know why.

It's just a random gift.

- So she's lucid? She remembers?
- Pretty much everything.

Except the last five years. And of course,
she doesn't realize she has Alzheimer's.

We thought she should hear it from you.

So she'll know me?

I'm gonna walk in
and she'll know who I am?

She's been asking for you.

And against our better judgment,
we start to have hope.

Hey, Chief. I need a signature,

I'd like to use the helicopter
to transport a patient from Denver.

[Derek] Good morning! Chief, I found
a way to fund a stereotactic robot.

I wanna make sure you're
on board before I move forward

It's a little early in the morning
for you two to be chasing me down.

I'm gonna be doing a bloodless pulmonary
valve translocation on this patient.

This machine is an excellent
source of revenue for the hospital...

Aren't you gonna get in there?
You wanna be chief,

- you gotta fight with the big boys.
- Oh, I intend to fight like a girl.

I'll let them kill each other, and then
I'll be the only one left standing.

[Mark] And then there's me.

There you go underestimating me again.

Oh, it's not that I underestimate you.
It's just that I don't think about you.

At all.

Well, you should.

[Mark] I was heading down to the clinic.

It's opening today and I

thought it might be nice
to show Dr. Bailey a little support.

Very thoughtful, Dr. Sloan.

Think I'll join you.
Gentlemen, if you'll excuse me.

Certainly.

- Nicely done.
- Mm-hmm.

Meredith. What is going on?
When did you get back from Europe?

I went to Europe for two months,
but that was...

I've been sitting here thinking about
the fight we had, the things I said.

- I said some terrible things.
- It's fine.

No, it's not. After you left I was upset.

[stuttering] Did I have a breakdown?
I must have had a nervous breakdown.

I'm in a... Is this a hospital?

Because I can't remember anything
for the past two months, Meredith

The last thing I remember
is the fight we had.

And listen. If you don't want to go
to medical school, that is fine.

- It is your life, just take me home.
- I went to medical school.

I want to go home, Meredith.
I need to go home.

You are home.

I went to Europe five years ago.

You got sick.

You have Alzheimer's.

[emotional music playing]

This is your home.

You live here now.

- [cries] No. No!
- Mom.

No!

Mom? Mom? Mom!

Somebody call 911!

- She had substernal chest pain...
- Chest pain and syncope.

My pulse was in the 200's
but the rate has resolved on its own.

- She's completely lucid.
- She's what?

She's aware. She's herself again.

Oh, my God. Is this...
Are we in Seattle Grace?

Yes, mom. This is where
I'm doing my residency.

Your daughter is
one of our finest interns.

Following in your very big footsteps.

Do you know a Richard Webber?
Is he still a doctor here?

What, the Chief?

Richard Webber is the Chief? Of Surgery?

Hey, welcome to
the Denny Duquette Memorial Clinic.

Barring any surgical emergencies,
you will be working here today.

Working on what?

Right now, Olivia will be familiarizing
you with the protocol for the flu vaccine.

[stammering] Oh, no, no, no.
Don't touch that.

That was 79 dollars.

Oh, my God. I have got to get out of here.

Burke has a bloodless
pulmonary valve translocation

flying in from Denver tomorrow.
I should be preparing.

You don't get to scrub in
on the valve translocation.

- How do you know?
- Because I am.

- He picked you?
- [Olivia] You guys ready?

- Where is everybody?
- Grey will be late.

- O'Malley should be back from vacation...
- No, no, the patients.

The underserved, uninsured population
that we're supposed to be helping?

The underserved, uninsured will come.
You'll see, just watch the door.

- They will come through it.
- I can't wait for the first patients.

It's gonna be amazing. It's gonna be
amazing what Denny's money can do, right?

Just watch the door, Stevens.

[playful music playing]

Dr. Bailey. Congratulations
on the opening of the clinic.

It is open, isn't it?

- Is Stevens all right?
- She's watching the door, sir.

OK, then.

Someone's coming!

- Damn it!
- O'Malley, welcome back. You're late.

Is O'Malley all right?

We got married in Vegas!

We're married!

Dude, she's Callie O'Malley.

It's fast. You know?

It seems really very fast.

- Are you even happy?
- We're incredibly happy.

Oh, yay! Well, great. Yay.

- Show her the ring.
- Oh.

Oh, that's so great.

Tiny diamonds are great because you
know no one will ever try to steal it.

OK, that's it.
Yang, Burke needs you in cardio.

O'Malley, the Chief has
a surgical patient coming into the pit.

Stevens, Karev, go find me some patients.

I don't care where you get them,
just get them.

Congratulations.

- Thank you.
- Thanks.

OK, we've been out of our Vegas hotel room
bubble for six hours and I don't like it.

It's gonna be fine. We're married.

We're married.

All right.

So, Chief, we're a couple of married men.

Uh... Adele and I are getting a divorce.

Um... I didn't...

That's life, O'Malley. That's life.

Now, this patient. I removed a large
tumor from her colon eight months ago.

Since then, she's been
undergoing chemo and radiation.

We thought she had it beat.

Excuse me?
Are you the doctors for Marina Wagner?

Yes. You brought her in?

I woke up this morning,
she was barely breathing.

You think this could be food poisoning?

'Cause we had sushi yesterday,
but I feel fine.

Could be complications from the radiation.

- What do you mean, radiation?
- From her cancer treatment.

She doesn't have cancer.

I'm her boyfriend, I'd know.

O'Malley, get a CBC, a CHEM-19,
and a triple contrast abdominal CT.

- Excuse me.
- Yes, sir.

[emotional music playing]

What? Is she all right?

- [Meredith] She's...
- Richard Webber. My God, you've aged.

- Ellis?
- I was having arrhythmias.

They wanted to do tests and...

I hear you're the Chief of Surgery now.

- That's wonderful.
- Yes.

- But I'm stepping down soon.
- Stepping down?

Well, I can only assume
that was Adele's idea.

- Meredith.
- I'll be right there, Mom. Go ahead.

She is lucid.

She woke up this morning
with her memory back.

They say it's temporary.

My God.

Obviously, don't worry about work today.
I mean, you need to be with her.

I mean, this time...

It's a gift.

It's a gift. Right.

Meredith's mother had some runs of SVT.
I'm ordering an echo.

- And she's lucid.
- What?

- It happens, but it won't last.
- Is Meredith OK?

Seems fine. But her mother's
gonna need the best care we have to offer.

And you, Dr. Yang, are the best.

You're still not wearing the ring.

I would like an answer.
It's been over a week.

I told you. It's under advisement.

Well, do you not like the ring?

It's a ring.

It's three carat, diamond cut, platinum.
It's the ring.

Then what?

Are you using this surgery tomorrow
to pressure me into giving you an answer?

Is that why I'm not scrubbing in?

I need to give the other interns a chance.

Why?

The echo please, Dr. Yang.

["Elevator Music" playing]

- Hey.
- Hey.

- You been waiting long?
- Almost an hour.

- Mmm.
- Mmm.

- Are you my doctor?
- I can be.

We have a clinic right
outside those doors. No wait.

What's wrong with you?

It hurts when I pee.

[Alex and Izzie groan]

- We can help with that.
- Yeah, that's easy. It's nothing.

We could have you out of here
in less than an hour.

♪ I'm making my move,
Lettin' loose like a belt ♪

- Are you hitting on me?
- [Izzie chuckles]

We need patients, you need doctors,
and we just happen to be surgeons.

- You think I need surgery?
- You never know.

- It's free. A free clinic.
- But my co-pay's only ten bucks.

That's lunch.

♪ And you had a rough night,
And the ride's just begun ♪

♪ Put the elevator music on ♪

- Sounds like TB.
- Yeah. Very contagious.

You and Meredith are good friends.

I can tell.

Because you're afraid to look at me.

As if I might ask you
some personal question about her

and you'll accidentally slip.

But you don't do
anything accidentally, do you?

- Has Meredith chosen a specialty?
- That's a personal question?

For surgeons, it's
the most personal question you can ask.

It tells you who they are.

My mother would want to know
whether I had a boyfriend.

Your mother sounds like a frivolous woman.

If I chose cardiothoracics,
what would that say about me?

Heart surgeons are the know-it-alls.

They're the most ambitious,
the most driven.

They want it all and they want it now.

And they don't want
anything getting in their way.

Meredith says I'm part of
an Alzheimer's research study.

I want a neuro consult with the doctor
who put me in the trial.

[whimsical music playing]

[Cristina] Hey, Mer!
I've been looking for you.

Burke has me on your mom. Are you OK?

I'm avoiding her. I'm avoiding the gift.

Well, your gift wants to meet Derek.

What? What did you say?

Oh, no no, not Derek your boyfriend.
Dr. Shepherd, the neurosurgeon.

She's gonna know that he's
your boyfriend anyway. She has ways.

I'm kind of in love with her by the way.

She has that effect on people
who aren't her daughter.

Hey, I heard about your mother.
That's unbelievable.

- Yeah, it's a gift.
- She's avoiding her.

Mer, she's your mother.
And she's really here.

This is your chance,
you should talk to her.

You should spend some time with her.

[sighs] She has a very long
history of being disappointed in me.

You're a doctor now. Parental
disappointment ends with a medical degree.

Can we get moving? It hurts when I pee.

Are you stealing patients from the ER?

Yes. But only because I have to know
that I did not spend my entire inheritance

on an empty room with empty beds.
Because if I did that, I might go crazy,

and George called dibs
on all the crazy this week.

Do you think Callie's pregnant?

- I'm going back to the ER.
- OK, just keep your pants on. We're going.

- [stammering] What's going on?
- Oh, yeah. Bambi got married.

Psst.

Sorry, one second.

- Everything OK? Are you off today?
- You got married?

Yeah. I did.

It was, uhh... I know it was impulsive.

Well, was it good impulsive
or was it Meredith impulsive?

Because if it was Meredith impulsive,
maybe I can help get you out of it.

[chuckles] No, it was, it's a good thing.

- Good.
- It's good. But thanks for the backup.

You're welcome. Congratulations, George.

Thank you.

Are you planning on coming
to talk to me anytime soon?

[sensual music playing]

- Excuse me.
- Sure.

Uh, you know those cartoons
where there's a bear, or whatever,

and it's starving, and it looks at a table
and the table turns into this

delicious cooked turkey with, like,
lines of deliciousness coming off it?

I was not looking at him like that.

Because he is the help and I am not
going to be sleeping with the help.

I married the help.

- What?
- We went to Vegas.

- My idea. I embrace the trashy.
- That's...

Not that I'm not happy for you,
but why married so fast?

You know those cartoons where
there's a bear and it's starving?

And it looks at a cute intern?

Well, congratulations!

Thank you.

[clears throat]

Oh, it's small. I know it's small.

- It's beautiful.
- You think so?

- Yes.
- Yes.

So, tell me about yourself.

Well...

[chuckles] What's your life like?

I've...

[sighs] I really do want
to know you, Meredith.

Well, I have a boyfriend.

Does he understand
the demands of your career?

Because not all men do,
they say they do up front but they...

He's great.
He's a doctor too, so he gets it.

Good.

- He's actually...
- Have you chosen a specialty?

No. It's still early.

Cristina's already chosen cardiothoracics.

Yeah. Well, I guess
I'm just waiting to be inspired.

I'm happy now. You know,
I feel like I know who I am.

Plus, I think when you have someone
in your life that you love,

you really love, I think that's...

I don't know. I just...

I'm really happy.

What happened to you?

- What do you mean?
- You're happy? You're happy now?

The Meredith I knew was a force of nature.

Passionate, focused, a fighter.
What happened to you? You've gone soft.

Stammering about a boyfriend, and saying
that you're waiting to be inspired?

You're waiting for inspiration?
Are you kidding me?

I have a disease
for which there is no cure.

- I think that would be inspiration enough!
- Mom...

Listen to me, Meredith.

Anyone can fall in love
and be blindly happy,

but not everyone can
pick up a scalpel and save a life.

[emotional music playing]

I raised you to be
an extraordinary human being,

so imagine my disappointment
when I wake up after five years

and discover that
you're no more than ordinary!

What happened to you?

Yeah, we live in the same building, so...

I'd see her in
the laundry room, and, uh...

She's really sexy when she folds clothes.

Once we started dating
it was just, like, boom, you know?

We got really serious really fast.
Now I'm just kind of like...

I don't even know her middle name.

I'm trying to fill out these forms
and I'm stumped on the first question.

Rose.

That's her middle name. Rose.

She's charming, she's fabulous,
and then suddenly she's the enemy.

- I'm meeting the enemy?
- Just don't get personal.

- You're being ridiculous.
- I am not being ridiculous.

- OK. It's gonna be fine.
- Just be careful. She has ways.

["Barracuda" playing]

- Hey, George. Are you OK?
- Yeah.

You seem kind of shaky
and sweaty and pale.

Is it the marriage?
Are you totally regretting it?

No, the marriage is fine.
Do you mind taking that to the...

Sorry. Uhh, taking
the blood work to the lab for me?

- Sure.
- Thanks.

- I think I need to sit down.
- George, if you need to talk...

Thanks.

Hey. Are you OK?

- You're sweating.
- No, I'm good.

- What's your middle name?
- It's bad. I don't tell anyone.

Come on, we're married.
I don't even know your middle name.

OK, I knew it.
It's your weird and judgey friends.

- You let them get to you.
- No, it's... I don't...

I don't know your middle name.
God, I can barely breathe.

You know what, you didn't know
my middle name last week

and you could breathe just fine.

What?

What about a functional MRI?
Now, while I'm lucid?

An MRI is not gonna show us anything new.

No test is gonna help us
understand what's going on.

So, in five years, you've made no advances

and there is nothing else
you can do for me?

I don't know how you do it.

Day in and day out, work with people
with this awful disease.

Oh, I... I see...

Actually, I'm not
an Alzheimer's specialist.

I just took a special interest
in this case because of Meredith.

You're what happened to her.

- I'm sorry...
- I thought you were here for me.

To offer me some hope,

to tell me about some new treatment,
but you're here for her.

- Dr. Grey...
- An attending?

A neurosurgeon? No wonder she's unfocused.

- I don't think you understand.- -
- Oh, I understand.

I understand perfectly.
I've seen men like you before.

Threatened by a woman who's their equal.
You just want someone to admire you.

And you don't care about the damage
you do to her along the way.

[playful music playing]

I need to lay down.

Woah, no, no, no. Hey! Hey! Hey, buster!

Do you know how much it costs
to have these linens laundered?

I'm sick. Shaking and sweaty.
My mouth is dry. My body aches.

- Fine.
- Uhh, Karev, replace O'Malley in the OR.

Yes.

So, this is Marina Wagner,
your colon cancer patient?

- Karev, where the hell is O'Malley?
- Curled up in a ball in the clinic.

- Is he OK?
- Well, he's married.

Right. OK.

Bokhee. Ten blade.

[dramatic music playing]

Stolen non-emergent ER cases
and sick hospital staff.

This is what
eight million dollars buys you.

Dr. Stevens, I swear on my life,

if I hear you say
eight million dollars one more time...

It's not about the money. It's...

[sighs] It's Denny.

It's his legacy. It's...

I was looking for meaning.
This was supposed to be meaningful.

It will be meaningful

Eight million dollars worth?

[stammering] Uh, excuse me, are you...

Can I... Are you the doctors?

- Yes, we are.
- Are you a patient?

Like an actual free clinic patient?

Not me. My daughter.

- Oh, is your daughter sick?
- I'm not sick. Can we please go?

Kelley finds suddenly
she has a need for these products.

And, uhh, and we were hoping
you might show her how to use them.

George, you're married.
You should be happy. You don't look happy.

I'm sick, Olivia.

[Bailey] All right, you could...

You should go home, O'Malley.

Clearly whatever you have is contagious.

- Aren't you from the lab?
- Yeah, I feel like crap.

Is that the lady
you gave Marina Wagner's blood to?

- Uhh, yeah.
- And you all feel shaky and nauseous?

It's awful.

[dramatic music playing]

- She's toxic.
- Callie? Yeah, a lot of us feel that way.

No, the patient's blood is toxic.
It's making us sick.

Has the Chief started Marina's operation?

They were wheeling her up as I came down.

What's the extension for OR one?

[telephone ringing]

[intense music playing]

Patient's blood is apparently
highly toxic. Any contact is dangerous.

Nobody goes in there until
we figure out what the hell is going on.

How's he doing?

[indistinct] His BP is starting to
stabilize. He's doing better on oxygen.

It's a good thing he got
out of there when he did.

[Nurse] Dr. Shepherd? Can you sign this?

I just heard, how can I help?

You're off duty,
you should be with your mother.

I don't want to spend time with my mother.
The Chief is down, Alex is down.

- I would like to help.
- Dr. Grey.

You wanna help, talk to your resident.

[Derek] What do you got?

We found a herbal supplement in her purse.

The lab guys think it combined
with the chemo chemicals,

and turned her blood
into some kind of neurotoxin.

We're lucky they're not all dead.

The only reason she's alive
is because she's intubated.

- Who got them out of there?
- O'Malley.

- George.
- Callie.

She was toxic, her blood was toxic.
Not our marriage.

You thought our marriage was toxic?

OK, all our people are being treated.
Now what do we do about her?

Dr. Grey?

Your Holter monitor shows you're having
multiple runs of tachycardia every hour,

so Dr. Burke would like to do
a radio ablation.

Why would he recommend surgery when
medication can keep it under control?

Because Alzheimer's patients aren't
always compliant with their meds.

And apparently Meredith says...

You're particularly difficult.

I could elect not to treat it at all.

Your stress test
shows coronary artery disease.

That coupled with the tachyarrhythmias

could cause too much stress
on your heart which would...

Eventually...

What would you do if the thing
that defines who you are

was taken away?

Tell Dr. Burke...

I don't want the surgery.

[stuttering] I'm very sorry, Dr. Grey,

but technically,
that decision isn't yours.

It's Meredith's.

[Izzie sighs] This is
a maxi pad, heavy flow day.

Mini pad, pretty self-explanatory.

Just peel the label and stick it.

And the tampon we've already gone over.
So, are we clear on everything?

Kelley, I understand
that you're a little mortified

that your dad dragged you in here, but can
you just talk, or nod, or something?

- I get it, OK?
- Great.

How's it going with our first patient?

Kelley's a woman.

Can I just go to the gallery and learn
something, if that's OK with you?

[Bailey] Go ahead.

Mr. Hanson, if you could go to the front
desk and fill out some paperwork,

- I can get you out of here.
- Of course. Of course.

Uh, thank you.

Since my wife died, I've been
in the woods a little with Kelley.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

You OK, Kelley? Any cramps?
'Cause a heating pad would...

Could I be pregnant
if I had sex last week?

Like, before the period thing started?

'Cause I did. And it would
really suck if I was pregnant,

'Cause now the guy's being a real jerk
and he's totally ignoring me at school.

So I really hope I can't be pregnant.
I can't, right?

Anyway, you could, like,
answer me before my dad gets back.

[emotional music playing]

I'm not sure refusing treatment
is what you want to do.

Apparently what I want doesn't matter.
It isn't even legally binding.

So it's really about what
you want, Meredith. You're in charge.

You think I like
making these decisions for you?

You think it's fun to get
calls from the nursing home,

asking whether I was planning on giving
the nurse who changes you

every morning a Christmas tip?
But I do it.

Because you have managed to alienate
everybody else in your life.

And I am the only one.

So, I have to step up and do it.

You want to know why I'm so unfocused?

So ordinary?

You want to know what happened to me?
You. You happened to me.

- Then let me refuse the heart surgery.
- No.

- Why not?
- Because killing my mother

is not gonna be another thing
that happens to me.

These suits are airtight.

These packs recirculate the air
trapped inside.

These batteries
haven't been charging long,

I'm guessing you got about 30 minutes
before they die and you have to come out.

Oh, my God. The anesthesia's
wearing off. She's waking up.

[gasping]

Thirty minutes, starting now.

She's fighting intubation.

If we go inside
before the seals are secure

we wouldn't last
five minutes and she will die.

[Mark] These guys are two minutes out.

- She doesn't have two minutes.
- Addison!

[intense music playing]

- Get the hell out of there!
- She's awake, Mark.

She's awake and open on the table.
Now, I need to know her weight,

so I can dose her with the propofol

She looks about sixty kilos.

It's OK. You're OK.

It's OK. Got it.

I got you. I got you.

- [machine beeping rapidly]
- [groaning]

Looks like SVT.

Push ten of adenosine, and page Dr. Burke.

He's already gone into surgery.
I'll get the adenosine.

Carotid massage. Carotid massage.

Carotid massage can reboot
the heart and stop the SVT.

OK. OK. Hold on.

Hold on, please. Hold on, please.

Hold on. Hold on.

[rapid beeping stops]

OK. OK, OK, OK, OK.

You're good.

Sharp under pressure.

You'll make an extraordinary surgeon.

Dr. Grey, I need to ask you.

Will it get in my way? Can I have both?

Can I be a great surgeon and have a life?

Because there is this man
who just asked me to marry him

and I know you tried to have both,

but you split up
with Meredith's dad and...

- I know this is none of my business.
- It is none of your business.

And I didn't try hard enough.

- Kelley, be polite.
- I'm sorry, sir,

but polite doesn't seem
to be getting you two very far.

Kelley, your dad told me
you lost your mother a few years ago

and I want to say how sorry I am.

You probably have a million questions,

and if your mother were here

I'm sure she would have
more eloquent answers than I do.

But I think that she and I would
actually be saying the same thing.

Which is if you keep going
the way you're going,

you will get an STD.

You will get pregnant.

You will increase your chances
of getting cervical cancer.

You're not being smart.

And you're too young
for anyone to expect you to be smart

the way you need to be
when you're having sex.

Which means you shouldn't be having it.

I thought he liked me. [cries]

Oh, honey, I know you did.

[emotional music playing]

I know you did.

- OK. You're gonna live.
- Callie, wait.

- I was a little bit heroic in there.
- [Callie grunts]

- I thought you'd be proud of me.
- Proud?

You were poisoned
and you thought it was about me.

- It felt like an anxiety attack.
- About me!

You see, we were fine
when we were in our Vegas bubble.

When it was just room service
and pay cable and us it was bliss,

but then you get around your weird
and judgy friends for one day

and suddenly you're racked
with uncertainty.

Toxic gas level uncertainty.

I guess it was too much to hope
you'd just stand up for me.

- Cal...
- And my middle name is Iphegenia!

OK? I can't wait to hear what your pals
have to say about that.

[sensual music playing]

So that was pretty cool what you just did.

Going in and putting her back under.

Cool or stupid. Take your pick.

OK. All right. I gotta...

Enough.

What's going on?

The Chief figured out the anesthesiologist
didn't have time to drop an NG tube.

So now they have to place one
and decompress

and repack her intestines and close.

And they're about to run out of air.

[dramatic music playing]

Holy crap. This so beats tampon training.

Preston. You'll need to milk the bowel
to get out the excess fluid.

Pack her and wrap her
and get her stable for transport.

- How's George?
- Medically, he's fine.

Emotionally, he's
a little stunted if you ask me.

You don't marry
the rebound girl, am I right?

You don't marry anyone on a whim.

- He needs our support.
- [Izzie] He doesn't need us.

- He's got his Vegas show wife.
- Ooh.

Chief, they're at 32 minutes.
You got to pull them out.

How you doing on air?

- I'm out.
- You go. I'll wrap it.

Alone? No, you can't.

[coughing]

Burke. Burke?

Burke. Burke!

Burke? Burke!

Burke.

[Derek breathing heavily]

That's not good.

OK, damage control.

We still have to pack her and wrap her
so that she's stable for transport.

We work in shifts. One doctor at a time.
No one stays in for more than 20 seconds.

- Dr. Sloan, do you want to go first?
- I'm not going in there.

- What?
- It would be irresponsible

for the remaining healthy attending
to expose themself to the neurotoxin.

A neurotoxin whose long term effects
we're still unaware of.

So I'm staying in here.

I can swim three lengths
of my parents' pool underwater.

You're up, Dr. Yang.
All right, let's get her masked.

[intense music playing]

Sloan, give her the lap pads.

You're gonna wet them and pack the cavity.

If you feel faint, get out.

Come on, Yang. Hurry.

- I packed the wound. [gasps]
- Dr. Stevens.

[Cristina] I couldn't get...
I couldn't wrap it.

[Richard] Remove the drape
and secure the plastic along her sides.

It's got to be tight.

Hurry.

Come on, Stevens.

Come on.

[gasps] I couldn't...
I didn't... It twisted.

OK, the seal needs to be
as close to vacuum tight as possible.

It will inflate
and then you'll know it's secure.

Come on, Grey. Come on.

- She still toxic?
- She's on CRRT.

It's a type of dialysis
to remove the toxin from the blood.

You should be able
to go in in a few hours.

[melancholic music playing]

[over speaker] You woke up.
You're gonna be OK.

I was hoping you'd never
have to know about any of this.

I thought all the bad stuff of my life
was over when I met you.

[over speaker] It is... Marina Rose.

That's my name.

Heroic work all of you. Heroic.

Dr. Sloan, let's check on our patient.

How come we do all the work
and he gets all the glory?

Because he's Mark. [coughs]

I'm sorry I left. I, it was...

I got to do damage control
on the toxic woman.

Good for you.

- Did you ever get any patients?
- Just that one.

One. [scoffs]

Eight million dollars worth of one.

[uplifting music playing]

Lock up for me.

["Believer" playing]

♪ Didn't think you would trust me ♪

I heard you're having surgery tomorrow.

Do you...

Do I know who Meredith is?

Do I at least recognize Meredith?

You know she's someone important.

Someone who loves you.

You'll look out for her?

Because she's got so much more to learn
and I won't be able to teach her.

I'll look out for her.

I wish I could go back.

I'd do everything so differently.
I'd fight harder for you.

I think if I'd fought
harder for you, maybe...

We would have had
a wonderful life together, Ellis.

- You think so?
- I do.

We would've done our fellowship here.

And then you would have fought me
for Chief and probably won.

And I wouldn't have minded.

Because we'd have kids at home.

We have kids?

Meredith would've needed
a brother and sister.

- Kids need family.
- We would have been a family.

Probably bought that big house
on Parker, the one with the barn.

Yeah, that's a good place for a family.

And I would have been happy.

Just like Meredith says she's happy.

And that would have changed everything.

Maybe.

I would be fine
and we could grow old together.

And life would be so perfectly ordinary.

Yeah.

♪ When I am gone ♪

My life is so unfinished.

It's unfinished and I'm not finished.

No. No, Ellis.

Don't think that.

Just close your eyes,

and think of the family,

of the house.

And you there every night to come home to.

And me there.

I'm there.

I am super scrubbed.
I'm minus my epidermis.

[Meredith] I still feel all fumey.

Hey! It's the little woman.
So, what are your plans now?

You're not moving in, are you?

Nice.

[sighs]

- Wait, Callie.
- Forget it, just...

No. Unbelievable.

People, you're supposed to be my friends,
my closest friends.

Callie is a big... She's the most
important part of my life now.

If you want to drive her away,
and you're masters at it, you'll do it.

But if she's gone, I'm gone.

She's my wife.

Calliope Iphegenia Torres is my wife.

["Fireworks" playing]

Iphe...

- Don't you dare.
- OK.

[Meredith] As doctors we're trained
to give our patients just the facts,

but what our patients
really want to know is,

will the pain ever go away?
Will I feel better? Am I cured?

Thought you said
you didn't think about me.

I don't.

I am actively not thinking about you.

Right...

now.

[Meredith] What our patients
really want to know is,

is there hope?

♪ Is there a hint
Of a vulnerable you there ♪

I don't do rings.

♪ Could it be that
The sharp and the blunt side ♪

♪ Have shifted this time ♪

Don't expect me to suddenly change.

I'm a surgeon. Just like you.

And we'll have money. We can hire a wife.

Are you saying yes?

Yeah.

- I'm not letting you scrub in tomorrow.
- Well, I'm not wearing a ring.

- OK.
- OK then.

- [Preston] Yes!
- [laughs hysterically]

[Preston] OK! OK! OK! OK!

But inevitably there are times

when you find yourself
in the worst-case scenario.

- Meredith...
- I just have to say this.

The reason I want you to have
the surgery is because I have this hope

that in a year or two years or five,
they're gonna have a breakthrough.

They're gonna find a cure for Alzheimer's.

And you and I will have another chance

to get to know each other.

You'll have a chance to get to know me.

To see that I am not
even remotely ordinary.

So, I wish you would have the surgery.

But it's up to you, Mom. It's your life.

You remind me of my daughter.

[chilling music playing]

About an hour ago.

One minute she was here and the next...

I'm so sorry.

Me, too.

When the patient's body has betrayed them,

and all the science we have to offer
has failed them,

when the worst-case scenario comes true,

clinging to hope is all we've got left.
