What if it wasn't
ridiculous?What?

What if you try to cure
Alzheimer's?

Should I anticipate any
goodbye e-mails from you?I don't know.

Tessa's like Seattle royalty.

Man, I grew up
on her stories.

Tessa: I do have
another story to tell.

"Tessa and the Rising Sun."

I'm sorry. I can't.

Nick: You don't consider me
part of your life.

Of course you're
part of my life.

You took the Boston job
without even talking to me.

I love cardio.
But I love you more.

Guess I'm not sure
that I respect that.

I'm out the door ♪

Meredith: One of the greatest
frustrations surgeons have

are the unrealistic
expectations of our patients.

Whoa.

♪ Don't you wanna go with me

Whoa!

Whoa! Whoa!

No!

No. No, no, no!

Whether they're acutely ill or
they've been sick for years...

No, no, no, no, no.

No, no.

Oh, my God. No.

...by the time they're
on the surgical table,

they're hoping for a miracle.

Thanks for the ride.Get out.

I'm late.
So am I.

But often, surgery is just
the beginning of the healing,

rather than an end.

Because for weeks
or months post-op,

people have to learn
how to live

without the part of their
body we've just removed.

Simone: You're late.Mika: Not as late as you.

And that's not always easy
and it's never painless.

So, surgery is not
the happily ever after

our patients hope it will be.

Like everything else in life,
it's an evolution.

Now, remember what
I said to you.

You're going to take
these gifts

and go visit your
old daycare teachers.

They're gonna be
very excited to see you.

Do you remember
where you're going?

Mom, I'm not a baby.Same, Mom.

Okay.

Amelia: Hey!
Maggie:
Look who's here!

Hi.
Big last day.

Yeah, we're
trying to forget

all that and act
like everything

is super normal.How are we doing?

Not great.
[ Chuckles ]

How's the new place?Amelia: It is great.

It is weird to live alone
when I don't have Scout,

but I feel
very grown up.

Do you have any surgeries
I can watch today?Zola --

I might have
a very excellent one

with Uncle Winston in O.R. two,
if your mom says it's okay.

Mom, please?

Okay, if anyone asks,
I don't know where you are.

Link!
Hi. Hey.

Do you, uh -- Do you have
a busy schedule today?Actually, no.

I've carved out my whole day
to catch up on charting.

I am buried in --I need you to pick up
a cake by noon.

This bakery's across town.It's for Meredith.

Does she like
faraway cake?

It's her favorite.

It's the triple berry
with the buttercream.

I would do it myself,

but the baby
that I delivered

two weeks ago with
the malformed heart,

he's having
heart surgery today,

and his parents are very
attached to me, and --

and -- and you love me,
so please help.

That is true.

I do love you.
Thank you.

[ Sighs, sniffs ]

You're all rounding with
Doctors Ndugu and Pierce.

They are breaking new
surgical ground,

and it is a privilege
that they have invited --

Sorry.
My car broke down.

Had to get a ride
with my sister.

Yeah, my car got towed
and it's also my house.

Do you know who else
wasn't punctual?

Taryn Helm
wasn't punctual,

despite being
an excellent surgeon,

and now you can find her
throwing her life away

bartending
across the street.

There's a surgeon
bartending at Joe's?

Why?

Because she burnt out,
that's why.

So, hydrate and sleep
and lean on your friends,

and take a break
and get a good therapist.

And be on time,

unless you
want to wind up like Helm,

wasting your talents,

your family's investment,
and your futures.

Does she know you're throwing
shade behind her back?

[ Scoffs ]

Woman over PA:
Dr. Joseph to L&D.

Dr. Earl Joseph to L&D.

Meadow, Will.

Um, we're
a teaching hospital,

and these
are our first years.

Is it okay
if they stay?

You can say no.

Uh, i-it should be okay.

Baby?

[ Baby cries ]

Dr. Kwan.

Arlo Fischer, delivered by
Dr. Wilson two weeks ago,

and diagnosed with
truncus arteriosus and VSD.

He's been listed for
a transplant for heart failure,

and he was placed
on ECMO a week ago.

Arlo's deterioration is
sending him into organ failure.

We got a call from UNOS last
night that there is a match,

but the procurement team
reported

that the donor heart muscle
is weak

and not suitable
for transplantation.

Winston: But Dr. Pierce
and I believe

that we can still
make use of the heart

if we transplant only
the two major arteries.

So, it's a partial
heart transplant?

Has that ever
been done before?

No, this
will be the first.

Meadow: [ Sniffles ]
I don't understand.

Why can't we just wait
on another heart?

Meadow, it could take months
to find another match.

Arlo cannot stay on ECMO
for that long.

Baby, she's saying partial
is better than nothing.

We know this is frightening,
but if this works,

these valves will grow with him
for the rest of his life,

and he won't need
a heart transplant

or any other
additional surgeries.

Ifthis works.
What if it doesn't work?

He dies?
My baby dies?

We're gonna give you
some time to think about it.

We really do believe
that this is

Arlo's best option
at this point.

[ Crying ]

Can you...
Jo: I can stay.

Yes, Of course.

Thank you, Doctor.Yeah.

[ Knock on door ]

Hey.

[ Door closes ]

Heard it's your
last day.
It is.

Thanks for coming.

I went by the house.

It's nice to see
it's still standing.

There's a giant hole
where the attic used to be.

They've spent the last two weeks
stabilizing the place,

but everything
still reeks of smoke.

It's...
How are the kids?

Zola's excited to start
at her new school.

I think Bailey and Ellis
are sad to leave.

I called, you know?

I know.

This has been a lot.

A fire,
living in a hotel, moving.

No, I know it's been a lot,
but what -- what was your plan?

You were just gonna leave
and not call me back?

And you're gonna move
across the country

without a conversation?

I-I-I-I don't get that.
I don't.

I didn't know
what to say.

I moved here
to be with you.

Yes, I took a job,
but I moved here

to be with you.

You didn't say it back.

I didn't
say what back?

You s--
[ Sighs ]

What?

I said, "I love you."

You were standing
exactly in that spot

where you are
right now.

I said, "I love you."

You didn't say it back.

You had just taken a job
at my hospital.

I thought --
I had hoped

that we were
gonna pick it up

right where we left off.

But you seemed to want
to take it slow.

So, it did not
occur to me

to confer with you
about me moving.

Okay, so wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait, whoa.

This --
So, this is on me?

This whole thing,
it's my fault?

That is not
what I just said.

I-I didn't do and say
exactly what you thought

I should do and say
on exactly your timeline,

so this whole mess
is my fault.

That's what
you're saying?
That is not
what I said.

No, no. Nope.

I can't.[ Door opens ]

So essentially, we will
take out the truncus

and the malformed artery,

replace it with the donor
aorta and pulmonary trunk,

and then use their walls
to close the VSD.

So it's like gutting
the inside of a house

without
disturbing the frames.

Can you not use the word
"gutting" when talking

about a tiny baby heart?

Mm, cosign.

I don't like the verbiage,
but it is a pretty apt metaphor.

Do we
get to scrub in?

There will only be room
for one of you at the table.

We are operating on a heart
the size of a strawberry.

The vessels are
half a centimeter wide.

My hands
are the smallest!

You will not be stitching.
You will be observing.

But whoever does the best
vascular anastomosis

in the skills lab
wins the spot.

Dr. Kwan.

Yeah?

Uh, don't do your finger
agility exercises

in front of the patients,
alright?

Oh, it's a technique
I use to disengage

from the emotionality.

To stay neutral.

Y-You know, when --
when the mother

started crying,
I was...

It's smart. You just can't
let them see it, Kwan.

Understood.

[ Sighs ]

[ Door opens, closes ]

Teddy: Richard!

Just curious
how it's going.

The search
for the new chief.

It was easy
a few years ago

when we were
at the top of our game.
Right.

But we've got a lot
of interesting applicants

we're sorting through,
yeah.

I mean, Grey-Sloan
is not an easy place

just to step right into.[ Chuckles ]

It's got its own history,
its -- its own quirks,

its own personality.

Well, that it does.
[ Chuckles ]

Yeah. I mean, it -- it wouldn't
be the -- the worst idea

to look closer to home.

Someone who's been here,

who -- who understands
our history,

the issues, and -- and our past
and our needs.

Altman, I think
you're onto something.

T-There's no
extra pay involved,

but there's lots
of free pastries

and we could use
your expertise.

I-I'm sorry,
there's no extra pay?

No, the search committee
is voluntary.

But we'd love to have you.

We're meeting in the second
floor conference room

from 4:00 to 6:00
on Monday.

Okay, got it.
Thank you.

I will...

join.
Great.

Yeah.
[ Chuckles ]
Thank you.

Okay.

Meadow, I got a page.
Is everything okay?

I can't do it.

I-I can't
kiss him goodbye

for what
might be forever.

She wants to wait.

W-We want to wait
for a whole heart.

An infant donor heart
could take up to six months

to find a match.

But we got this one.

This one was a match
and it came in days.

But it was damaged.I know.

But we could get
another match

in the next
couple of days.

It could happen.

I know that it's hard,
and I know that it's scary,

but Dr. Pierce
is as good as it gets

and she is not
a risk taker.

She doesn't do
experimental surgeries

for practice or for glory.

She is suggesting this
because she believes

that she can
save Arlo's life.

I don't know
how to love my son this much

and send him in
for an experimental surgery

that might kill him.

I-I can't do it.

[ Crying ] If he dies
in that surgery,

I won't ever
be okay again.

Tell Dr. Pierce
thank you, but no.

[ Cellphone buzzes ]

Oh, no.It's Tessa Hobbes.

Who?

I have no idea.

Done.

Tessa.
What happened?

I'm so sorry.

She came in with severe
abdominal pain.

She's a bit hypotensive.
Take her to CT.

I-I picked up
my groceries.

Tessa, we said no heavy
lifting, three months.

It was just
a grocery bag,

and I was feeling so great.

And then there
was this sharp pain,

like something tore.

And then she drove
herself here.

Wh-- You
drove yourself?

Well, in retrospect,
I can see

that might have been
a bad idea.

Tessa, which area
hurts exactly?

All of it.
The entire abdomen hurts.

Here --
touch right there.

Ow!She's tachycardic.

We should take her
straight to the O.R.

No, her blood pressure's
holding.

Get her to CT first
and then call the O.R.

to be on standby.

Skip the line.
I'll call ahead.

I really think we
should just take her

straight to the O.R.Go! I'll call Marsh.

Are you Dr. Hellum?Who's asking?

Mika Yasuda, first year
surgical resident.

It's Helm, and I'm
no longer a doctor.

Cool, 'cause
I'm barely a doctor

and I'm desperate
for a win.

Could you
possibly teach me

how to do a perfect
microvascular anastomosis?

There's a contest and if I win
I get to scrub in

on a partial heart transplant
on a newborn.

A partial heart transplant
doesn't exist.

I know, but it is about to,
and I-I need this.

I need a win
because I, uh --

I don't have anywhere
to sleep tonight,

and Seattle is
outrageously expensive,

and being a surgical
resident is exhausting...

[ Chuckles ]
...to the point
of nearly impossible,

and I just really need to give
myself a reason to keep caring.

And if Blue wins,
I cannot take the gloating.

Blue?
Like the ribbon.

And this is a nickname
he perpetuates.

Wow.
That is arrogant.

Right?

20 bucks.

My house was towed this morning,
so I don't have 20 bucks.

But if I win
this contest,

I will barback for you

on the front stoop.

is distended and she's tachy.

hypotensive.

Okay, well, you two
need to go book an O.R.

I don't care if you have to
kick someone out to do it.

Tessa takes priority.

[ Sighs ]
I don't get it.

She did this
for groceries?

Well, I don't think she
did it on purpose, Nick.

I think she probably lives alone
and is set in her ways,

and I'm sure it's a lot for her
to change and ask for help.

Hello?

We're here, Tessa.
Please stay very still.

This is all wrong.

I-I don't want to die.

[ Breathes shakily ]

I still have
something to say.

Tessa, you're not
going anywhere today.

We've got you.

She's bleeding out.

We're gonna need
some help in here.

We're gonna need
blood in the O.R.

Tessa, we're gonna
take you upstairs.

Amelia: So on a scale
of one to better?

We're better. I think.
I think we're better.

But you're not sure?

I am sure that we
are both excited

about this partial heart
transplant on an infant,

which is a
stroke-of-genius idea

that we came up
with together.

And that is because in the
O.R., we're good together.

In our chosen field of study,
we are so good.

Are you rehearsing
a speech you plan on

giving him later?Maybe a little.

So the two of you haven't
really spoken since the fire.

Oh, we said some things.

We needed
a cooling-off period.

It's best that we haven't
talked about it.

A-And, you know,
we'll talk again soon.

As soon as we change
medical history.

I have bad news.

Oh, no.
The baby?

No, he's stable.

But his mom's too scared.

She wants to call it off.

I can't talk her into it.
That would be unethical.

But you think she's got
this one wrong?

Without this surgery,
the baby has days to live.

She had a 30-hour labor
and she did it without any meds.

Meaning?She's a warrior.

She's strong
in her convictions,

and she seems sure
of what she wants.

Let me talk to her.

You can't.

I'm not her doctor.

Let me talk to her.

Will: You're a neurosurgeon,
so do you think Arlo needs --

No, no, no.
No.

No, I'm not here as one
of Arlo's doctors.

I'm sorry, but if you're here
to try to talk me into --

I'm here
because I had a baby

who only lived
for 43 minutes.

He had a condition
called anencephaly,

which is when the baby's brain
does not develop typically,

and, uh, we discovered it
when I was 6 months pregnant.

We didn't know.

We didn't know
until he was born

that there
was anything wrong.

I gave birth
to Christopher

knowing that he would be
an organ donor,

uh, because there was nothing
that we could do.

There was no surgery
that we could try.

And, um, I think about
him a lot these days

because he has
a brother now, named Scout,

and as Scout grows up,

I cannot help
but think about

who Christopher
would have been.

And, um...

what I do know is [sighs]

if there
had been a chance

that Christopher
could have lived,

if there had been
any hope,

if there had been
any surgery

and it meant
that he might live...

I would take the shot.

they talk about you like --

don't give a flying crap

what anybody else thinks

and, like, they're
a little jealous of that.

And I want to know
how you did it.

Because I wanted to fight
for a patient today.

My gut told me everything
she needed and I didn't do it

because I was worried about
what other people would think.

I-I was worried about
getting in trouble.

You want to know
the truth?

The truth is I care deeply
what other people think.

And then I do what
I think is right anyway.

But I learned
that the hard way.

I had to live
a lot of life

before I became
the kind of person

I like and respect.

My patient died today.

I should have fought.

The good news is...

you let that pain
soak in...

...next time,
you will fight.

Top of my class.What?

I was top of my class at
an East Coast boarding school

where my classmates
were doing designer drugs

and cheating their way
to a passing grade.

I was top of my class.

And I didn't even drink
in high school.

Well, this is
sparkling cider.

Then I was second
in my class in undergrad,

but that's because I had
a brutal case of mono

my junior year,
which took me out for weeks,

but in med school,
I was back up to number one.

And I completed my
cardiothoracic fellowship

at the Mayo Clinic before
coming here

and training Cristina Yang
as a heart surgeon.

I have an inarguable pedigree
and I find it insulting

that you invite me to sit
on a panel to choose a chief

without stopping to consider
offering me the job.

Teddy, this hospital
just came out of a shutdown.

Dr. Bailey and Dr. Grey
both quit the job

that you're talking about,

and their pedigree
is quite similar to yours.

I didn't consider you
for the job

because it
is a flailing program

with a huge
amount of stress.

But by all means,
if you want it,

it's yours.

Really?
Is that a yes?

Can I think about it?

Oh, crap. She's here.
