When I was little, I once said my mother.

How do you tell people
such that bad news?

You tell them the truth, she said.

"But you tell them
the best version of the truth

you can come up with."

My mother also never told me
I had a little sister.

So, grain of salt.

What are you doing up?

Couldn't sleep.

Neither could Ellis. She wants some milk.

Are Owen and Amelia falling in love,

or are they just falling back into bed?

That's what's keeping you up at night?

Not Jackson's disappearing act?

Jackson sent me a picture of a tree.

A picture of a tree? Why?

Look, what I'm saying is,

if there's something
that Amelia can't see coming

that's gonna pop out and ruin everything,

she should know about it, right?

Like you didn't see
the Jackson thing coming?

No. Jackson's coming back.

Is that what he said?

- The tree.
- What does a tree have to do,

And what if there is something coming

for Owen and Amelia
and there's no undoing it?

Like, there's no picture of a tree

that could begin to undo it?

Do you need a sedative?

Mama.

Go back to bed.

Owen and Amelia are fine.

I am not being ridiculous.
You are being ridiculous.

God, you are such a hag!

Hey, hey, hey, I just got Leo back down,

so could we bring the volume
down, please?

We ha...

We had one rule, you do not do drugs.

Well, great,
'cause I didn't do any drugs.

Oh, you walked through
that door high as a kite,

and if you think that I can't,

Sorry, Leo.

Listen, she had a slip.

I'm not sure shaming her about it,

I'm not shaming her about a slip.

I can handle a slip.

What I will not abide is for her

to stand here in my house,
- My house.

In your house and lie right to my face.

That is not okay. That is unacceptable,

and I would think that I would
get a little backup from you.

- I backed you up.
- You said, "Hey."

Well, what do you want to do?

Well, I can't do what I want to do,

or we'd have to hide her body.

God, this is how my mom must have felt.

Let's go to bed.

We'll think more clearly
about this in the morning.

Okay? Come on.

- Hag.
- You know what?

If you are gonna call me names,
call me names to my face!

Great.

Okay, you're not here
right now, and, trust me,

you really want to be.

Yeah, well, I'm sorry.
My mind won't shut off.

Mm. And something else won't turn on.

Why did I take this stupid job?

Because you'll be awesome at it.

No, no, no, no. I'm an awesome surgeon.

I suck at this.

And all anyone does is ask for stuff.

So, Bailey and I are finally

on the same page with my fellowship.

I'm gonna pitch that
we get an INUMAC MRI.

Wait.

You want an INUMAC MRI?

Mm-hmm. Everyone can use it.

It'll pay for itself eventually.

Mmm.

Are you hitting me up for money

with your hand on my, uh...

What? Wait. Wait. No! What? No!

Alex, my hand was already
there from before.

What, No.

Alex, you are the one who
wanted to talk about work.

Where are you going?

- You made me feel dirty, real dirty.
- Oh, my,

I wish I could make you feel dirty.

Oh, that's nice. That's real nice.

Alex, couldn't you just, Oh, my, Where,

Come back to bed!

Hey, Chief, um,

I just saw the funding for my
prosthetics project is frozen?

Mm, temporarily. Budget issues.

Oh, man.

We're gonna take that out
on little kids, though?

Yes, and I know it's unfair, so save it.

Whoa.

Morning, Dr. Grey.

Good morning, Dr. Lincoln.

- Who's up, Helm?
- A Mr. Saether.

He's here for his, Whoa.

Uh, new makeup?

Is there something wrong with it?

- No.
- No.

_

_

_

- Did Papa die?
- No. Andrea!

Why would you say that?

You know why.

Look, just don't let him drag
you into his crazy,

I know, but,

- Wow.
- Hi.

Do you need something?

Uh, no, nothing. Sorry.

I just, You look really, um,
You look very... uh,

- Capable.
- Capable today.

Thank you. Uh... hi.

What?

I don't want to leave town

when you're about to make
a great big fool of yourself

over your lady boss.

Oh, shut up. I'm not,

I'm, No, I'm,

Shut up.

I'm not listening.

Small apartment fire.

This guy got the worst of it.

Let's skip the trauma room and
head straight to the burn unit.

Hold the elevator!

I can take him up. I know the way.

Thanks, Warren.

Herrera, what did you bring me?

40-year-old female,
unconscious at the scene,

persistently hypotensive,
pulse 120, resps 24.

No evidence of trauma.

Okay. Any smoke inhalation?

She wasn't even in the fire.

She was evacuated with the other tenants,

and then she collapsed
on the street outside.

- Let's get her inside.
- Shoot. Where'd he go?

- Who?
- Max, her kid.

He was, He was right here.

You Max?

Oh. You okay? You, You hurt?

- No.
- Oh. Just scared?

Yeah, uh, well, you don't
have to be scared.

We're all gonna help your mom, okay?

You want to come inside with me?

Hey.

Hey. No school?

I have school. I've been abducted.

She's grounded. But first we're,

Uh, you're not my mom,
so this is not grounding.

- It's child abduction.
- Go sit.

Transport me across state lines,
it becomes a federal offense.

Schmitt, would you get me
a 10-panel tox screen, please,

- right now?
- Oh, I...

Okay.

Yes, ma'am.

You brought her here for a drug test

and she went along with it?

Well, she doesn't know yet.

Uh, would you watch her?
I got to go change.

Yep.

Hey.

I seriously don't know how you
were ever married to her.

- She is so extra.
- She is a little extra.

Yeah, I agree.

- Meredith.
- Hmm?

If Zola got high, you would
ground her, right?

- What?
- Look at you. What happened?

You have a funeral?

What's wrong with you? You look weird.

She's wearing makeup. She looks pretty.

Why?

Oh, my God, you have a date.

Ah! You're doing it!

Ah! You're letting Mrs. Santa
Claus bring you presents!

All I got was a lousy tree.

Where are you going?

- Drinks? Coffee?
- Lunch.

Lunch? Lunch is boring.

You can't make lunch last all night.

So, who is he? Pics, please.

No, no, that's not how
Mrs. Santa Claus works.

No pictures.

What's she hiding? Neck beard? Man bun?

- Ear hair?
- No. She wants people to meet

how they meet in real life,
with no preconceived notions.

Scary. I like it.

Damn it.

Have fun.

Cancel your afternoon, for luck.

What if I hate him on sight?

What's the minimum amount
of time this goes?

Well, assuming your waiter doesn't suck,

a tight 30 minutes, if you don't
want to hurt his feelings.

Okay.

Five bucks says I can get out
in 20 and spare his feelings.

All right, but no pretending
you get paged.

That's cheating.

It's $1 for every minute you go over 20.

I'll text you in 20 minutes.

Oh.

Thank you for making it fun.

Hey, she just went into V-fib.

40-year-old female, lost consciousness.

Charge to 200.

Clear.

Hey. Hey, Natalie.

Okay. Back in sinus.

Okay.

You are in the hospital. You passed out.

Max. Max!

My son.

Where's my son?

Okay, Natalie, I need you to be still.

He's right out in the waiting room.

Bring him here.

I need to see him.
I need to see he's okay.

- Okay. X-ray's there.
- Okay.

Sorry. It's just...

Max likes to know what's going on...

to be told what's gonna happen,
or, or he gets scared.

I get that.

He's coming.

She has left ventricular enlargement,

pulmonary edema, and a pleural effusion.

- We need a TEE.
- Yep.

I just, just need to...

Just...

Natalie.

Book an OR now.

Mom!

- Mom!
- Max, Max, come here.

- Mom! Mom!
- Hey, please. Come on.

- Sorry. Hey. Are you,
- Hi. Jon?

- Yes. Hi.
- Hi.

Uh, they said there's a bit of a
wait, but we can sit at the bar.

Okay. Let's start the clock.

I just meant, I mean,
let's just get started.

Yeah. Okay.

All right.

- That's a nice coat.
- Thank you.

- Nice purse.
- Thanks.

- The whole thing's working.
- Thank you.

You, Oh, uh, Max, we called your dad.

He's on his way. Your mom is stable.

She's getting prepped
for surgery right now.

Uh, and a nice woman
is on her way to sit with you.

I'll sit with you, Max, until
the social worker gets here.

Oh, thanks. Okay, uh, I'll be back soon.

Did you just put us on babysitting duty?

We have to get checked by a doctor

after every fire incident now,
anyway, so...

Um, are we really doing that?

Captain's orders.

Sit.

I'm good, guys, yeah. I'm not even burnt.

I was just delivering food.

Not even my building.
It's not even my fire.

And if the smoke got into your lungs...

Got to take a look.

It says here your emergency
contact is your mom?

No, don't call my mom!

No, she, she lives in Philly.
She'll just worry.

Also, uh, I go to U-Dub,

and I have class in an hour,
so, uh, I should,

I'll write you a note. Open wide.

I have a chem test. Say, "Ahh."

Also, it's a makeup test.

It's like a make-it-or-break-it.

It's my last chance.

I should just go.

You need a chest X-ray first.

X-rays? Doesn't that cost extra?

Oh, you don't need to worry about that.

Wait. But...

Max. Buddy.

- Dad!
- Where's Mom?

Hi. Are you Natalie's husband?

Yeah. Uh, Evan. Evan Forrester.

Hey. I'm Dr. Bailey. This is Dr. Pierce.

Um, has your wife been
complaining of any heart,

H-Hang on. Sorry.

Go ahead. Sit down, son. It's okay.

Go ahead.

Dr. Bradshaw, call Recovery.

Dr. Bradshaw, call Recovery.

We think your wife had
a recent heart attack,

and now the wall between the
two main chambers of her heart

- has ruptured.
- Is it,

We won't know how much damage there is

until we can get in there,
but we will keep you updated.

- Okay?
- Okay.

Um, hey.

I know you like to know what's going on.

Okay, so, we're gonna take your
mom to the operating room, okay?

She's having some trouble with her heart,

but we are gonna do everything
we can to fix her, okay?

Okay.

Okay.

Dr. Monroe, call the pharmacy.
Dr. Monroe, call the pharmacy.

Well, I think we're good to go.

Are we in that big of a rush?

I kind of want to see how
the kid's mom comes out.

And what was her name again?

Uh... The cardio doc.

Dr. Pierce.

Dean. Really?

Did you see that woman?

Did you see her self-assuredness,

her compassion for children,

and her very, very nice eyes?

Look, we also got to wait
for a doctor's check, right?

- Oh, now you want to do that?
- Mm.

Mm-hmm. Captain's orders.

Hey! You still here?

- Hey. Yeah.
- Just, uh, Just heading out.

What have you got in your hand?

I-I don't have anything in my hand.

Show me your hand.

Uh, I-it's nothing.

I-It's nothing, a little burn.

I had to check a door for heat.

It's my first injury.

Had to happen sometime.

You see this thin sac in
the wall of Julius' lung?

He's got a pulmonary bleb.

Ugh. "Bleb."

It's air trapped in
the lining of the lung.

Yeah, I know what it is.
I just hate how it sounds,

"bleb."

- What's it stand for?
- It doesn't. It's a word.

It's not a word. It's a sound effect.

"Bleb."

Well, if it bursts,

his lung collapses, and Julius dies.

It should be a less funny word.

Suction.

Now, what is Avery doing, exactly?

I don't, Um, something to do with God,

uh, and a tree.

Like a sabbatical?

Yeah. Yeah.

Uh, exactly, like a,
a spiritual sabbatical.

Where he just decides overnight

to run off and do what he wants?

Yeah, sounds like spiritual spring break.

Oh, damn it. Damn it. You see there?

That is a big ventricular septal rupture.

She probably had a heart attack
a week ago,

thought it was indigestion,

and now it's just been weakening
ever since.

- Irrigation.
- Yeah.

- What do you want to do?
- I want to close the defect.

Bovine patch.

Herrera said she was down for a while.

I know, but I, I don't
want to go down there

and tell that little boy
that his mother is gone.

Uh, let's try a temporary LVAD
and... hope.

- So, you're in software?
- Mm-hmm.

Where is the T-shirt and hoodie?

I know. I tried.

It just feels like wearing
your pajamas to work,

- you know?
- I do know.

I actually wear my pajamas
to work, sort of.

- I'm a surgeon.
- You are?

- Mm-hmm.
- What kind?

Um, I'm Chief of General at Grey-Sloan.

Wow.

So, you're a big deal.

Oh, yeah.

What kind of software?

I'm not supposed to tell you.

It's privacy stuff.

Oh. I get it.

No, I mean, it's, uh,
actually privacy software.

- Oh.
- I'm telling you.

I don't care.
I'm terrible at keeping secrets.

I just think we should be able to decide

what we want to tell the world
about ourselves

and who should get to see it.

My software lets you do that.

- That's all.
- Oh.

So, you're not mining people's data or...

The opposite, actually, protecting it.

Mm. Here's to the good guys.

I mean, I'm not cutting
people's cancer out

in my pajamas or anything, but...

Mm. But you do what you can.

I do what I can.

Look, if it bursts,
your lung could collapse.

It puts you at risk.

I know. I know all about my bleb.

I've had it since I was a baby.

Why do you guys call it that?

Right?

Anyway, I'm not doing
a marathon anytime soon,

unless it's video games.

- I'm okay. I get along fine.
- Yeah, until now.

The smoke you inhaled is making
your lungs work harder.

And your bleb is making them
work too hard.

But I can operate.
I can take it out for good.

No. No surgery.

My mom's insurance,

it, it only covers emergency-room visits.

My stupid bleb's
a pre-existing condition.

If we called your mom, she would
say, "Let's figure it out."

No. No, my mom already works three jobs

just to keep me
in food and clothes, okay?

The surgery will, will put us
20 grand in the hole.

Just let me out of here, or,

or I'll talk to your supervisor, okay?

I am my supervisor.

Well, Well, don't call my mom.

If you tell my mom, I'll sue you guys.

Then all of our money problems
will be gone.

Okay?

- Can't we just take it out, anyway?
- Kid's 18.

Doing it anyway would be assault.

Start him on continuous nebs and 40% O2

- and, uh, slow-roll his discharge.
- Okay.

We need to talk about last night.

That was insulting.

Oh, it was, and I accept your apology.

You need to apologize to me, dummy.

I don't have sex with you

because I want stuff from the chief.

I have sex with you 'cause
I want one thing from you,

orgasms!

And maybe you should tell me

when Webber's standing behind me

so I don't say things like that.

You... paged me, Karev?

Has Schmitt been back yet?

Uh, haven't seen him.

What are we even doing here?

Dr. Shepherd, here you go.

Sorry it took so long.

I have a really shy bladder.

What? Why? Whose is, Why?

You said you wanted a drug test.

I figured because
of that time with the cookies,

- but I am not,
- Not from you.

- For her!
- Yeah.

I am so sorry.

Hey, hey, hey.
Take that with you, please.

You brought me here for a drug test?

- What the hell?!
- Whoa, whoa, workplace.

You're not lying, so what's the big deal?

The big deal is you trusting me

and not treating me like a criminal.

- Hey. Wh...
- Where are you going?

To daycare, to see Leo. Geez!

This is stupid.

- We're going.
- Hey, we're waiting to get checked.

No. We were waiting. Now we're stalking.

Any doctor can check us out.

Hey. That's her. That's her.

Mr. Forrester.

Uh, Natalie's out of surgery.

But the damage to her heart
was very severe.

And we had some trouble
getting her off the pump.

I'm so sorry,

but there is only a slim chance

that Natalie will wake up again.

Look, uh, take a few minutes
to talk to your son,

and, um, we'll, we'll
take you to see her.

Dad.

Max.

I-Is Mom okay?

Uh, she's, uh,

Mom is, uh...

Max... your mom was really badly hurt.

And we did everything we could to help,

And it's gonna be all right.

She's gonna be all right.

Right?

I mean, dating's not that bad.

I like talking to people...

till you hit the One Thing.

What's the One Thing?

Date's going great, right?

She's smart, you're funny,
you're, you're hitting it off.

And then she says the One Thing,

right, the one, uh,
slightly racist thing.

- Oh, oh.
- Right? Or she, uh,

she tears down her co-workers

or uses the wrong word for gay people

or misuses "their," "they're,"
and "there" in a text.

- That's unforgivable.
- Totally.

I mean, the One Thing ends the date,

even if you're stuck there
for another hour.

This is why I don't date.

I imagine you're also kind of
married to work.

I have been accused of that, yeah.

No, wait. W-Why is that an accusation?

It takes a ton of focus for
someone to get where you are,

as young as you are.

Some people don't like their partner

to be as committed to their work

as they are to their relationship.
I just don't get it.

Is that why you're single?

Yeah. My wife couldn't share.

You?

Mm, he could share, but he died.

- I'm sorry.
- Thank you.

Yeah.

Work's a very forgiving partner,
but it doesn't really,

Throw you up against the wall
and kiss you.

I was gonna say scratch your
back, but I like yours, too.

Actually, if you don't mind,
I'm just going to,

uh, call work and move some
things around this afternoon.

- Yeah, sure. Okay.
- Okay.

- Oh, God.
- What?

This is, um, I'm sorry
to have to tell you this.

I-I thought you didn't
look like your picture,

and it's because it's, um,

it's her picture.

Yeah. I'm supposed to be
on a date with her.

- Are you Jon?
- Yeah. I am.

But it's a pretty common name.

Do you want to go over there?

I don't. I'm enjoying this.

Well, she looks like

she's having a good time over there.

So... do you think that's my Jon?

You call his mother, you break HIPAA.

You break HIPAA, we get sued.

So, what do I do?

You know, Karev, the only thing less fun

than watching you do this job

is doing it for you.

Look, this isn't a chief thing.

This,
- I-It, It is.

I mean, being chief is...

nothing but being backed into corners.

The trick is finding
creative ways to get out.

Well, then I've found one.
I'm telling Bailey I quit.

- You can have this stupid job.
- No.

No, you have been pissy about this

since the day I started.

I mean you are not allowed to quit, okay?

You may only quit after you've done it

to the best of your ability
and decided to, okay?

Otherwise, it's not quitting.
It's failing.

Now, my mother told me that,
and it's true.

So, what were you quitting, med school?

I didn't want to play tetherball.
I was 10.

This isn't tetherball.

Oh, it's all tetherball, Karev.

Look, kick its ass

and then decide you don't want it.

Don't let it decide it doesn't want you.

I, Aah!

- Ah.
- We get our doc checks

from the chief of surgery?

Is that the best use of resources?

I'm on sabbatical.

You look good. Miller, sit.

The right finger.

He was hoping for Dr. Pierce.

Open.

- Ah.
- Um, do you, do you know,

do you know if she's single, Dr. Pierce?

Do I look like your auntie, Miller?

All right, you're all checked out.

Uh, hey, question,

who was first into this apartment fire?

- It was... Warren and Hughes.
- War... Warren.

- Why?
- Was that the best use of resources?

I mean, he's the only surgeon
on a team of firefighters.

Don't you want to protect those hands?

"So sorry. I would never want
to stand you up."

"Something has come up."

"Something unavoidable has come up,

and I can't make it there."

That look good?

Yep. But just change the "there"

to the wrong "their",
that'll soften the blow.

Oh, that is good.

- Okay? One, two, three.
- Yep.

And just like that,
we're yesterday's news.

Maybe they're falling in love.

Maybe this is meant to be.

Good luck to them.

We should, uh, We should get out of here

- before they see us.
- Okay.

Just,
- Be cool.

- Yeah, just be cool, will you?
- Yeah. Mm-hmm.

- You're just freaking out right now.
- Okay.

You're drawing a lot of attention to us.

Go. Go. Go.

It's not fair. When Leo is 15,

you'll have had 14 years to get ready.

Mm. If I get to keep him.

Okay. I'm just saying,

I don't know how
to discipline a teenager.

You were one.

What did your mom do?

- Nothing.
- Wh...

She ruled with an iron fist
over her first four kids,

but I was her kryptonite.

I think once my father died
in front of me,

she was afraid to upset me.

She just let me do whatever I wanted.

Oh, my mom was the opposite.

When my dad died,

she became Mom, Dad,
judge, jury, and executioner

for me and Megan.

Yeah.

Well... you turned out okay.

Eh. I hope so.

You know, sometimes I think
parenting, it's just...

Okay, fine.

Whoa. What?

Hey.

Hey, Max, what are you doing down here?

Is my mom gonna be okay?

Max.

Um, Max, the problem...

that your mom has is a big one.

So, her heart, which pumps
all the blood through her body,

is pretty badly damaged.

- It's, It's,
- There you are!

You can't go running off
like that, buddy, please.

She was telling me about Mom.

Is there a change?

Can I speak to you for a sec?

Look, I-I just went to the restroom,

and, and, and when
he's scared, he likes to hide.

Yeah. Um...

he probably gets that from you.

I'm sorry?

Look, I know you're
trying to protect Max,

but he needs to know what's coming.

You don't know my kid.

I know that any kid needs to be prepared

for what is going to happen
to his mother.

You said there's still a chance.

I said there was a slim chance.

That's still a chance!

Max, let's go, buddy.

And I'm not gonna
take that away from him.

Please don't talk to my son.

Dr. Hoffman to Oncology.

Dr. Hoffman to Oncology.

What happened?

He's trying to leave.

He got winded putting on his pants.

It's because
your lungs aren't working right.

Come on, pal.

His pulse ox was just 88 on room air.

Look, Julius, you
still haven't recovered fully

from the smoke inhalation.

And this bleb, it, it,
it could burst out there,

in the middle of chem class,
when I'm not there to help you.

The insurance,

it was really c-clear.

This was pre-exi... existing.

I-I can't afford this.

I got to go.

Okay, uh, just, uh, um, lie back.

Let me check you before you leave.

Wait. Le... H-He's just gonna leave AMA?

Yeah. He's allowed to refuse care.

Legally, we can't force you
to have treatment.

What is this?

W-What did you do?

He has a penetrating chest wound.

I mean, how did we miss this?

- I didn't.
- Well, I mean, it's right there.

I mean, this could be
invading the pleural space.

We got to take a look in surgery.

No, I-I can't have surgery.

Dude, listen, it's an emergency surgery,

so it's covered under your insurance...

and anything else that we find in there.

Do you understand?

Yeah.

All right. Okay.

All right, Qadri, um,

send off pre-op labs and book an OR.

Dr. Karev...

I have to report this.

Well, you just told the chief.

Mom? Mom, are you okay? What do you need?

Nothing. I'm not here to see you.

I have a life, Owen. Good Lord.

No. We're going, Miller.

We, We've hung around long enough.

But we should tell Dr. Pierce
we're leaving, though, right?

You know, close the circle.

Hey, Dr. Pierce.

- Hey.
- Hey.

Uh, Dean. Miller. Dean.

Ah.

- What's up?
- Uh... I was wondering

how that lady was doing,

the, that poor kid's mom.

- Oh. Yeah, not good.
- Mnh.

There was too much damage to repair.

Wow. That's... too bad.

Yeah.

- Was there something else?
- Uh, yes, yes.

Um, just trying to pivot from that.

I kind of set myself up badly.

- For?
- I was, I was, I was wondering

if you would like to
get dinner with me sometime.

Oh.

Oh!

Um... well, Dean...

Don't have to laugh.

No, no, I just,

I, uh, I had a fiancé named Dean once.

This is, This is going great.

Dr. Pierce...

Natalie Forrester coded again.

We brought her back,
but she's circling the drain.

I have to go.

I am so glad we waited.

So glad.

What the hell, Karev?

Oh, Qadri reported me?

She did her job. You stabbed a patient?

Look, you said
find a creative solution, right?

I didn't say commit assault
or insurance fraud.

I mean, if this is your way of
getting out of being interim chief,

congratulations.

It'll likely get you
out of being a doctor at all.

Look, I'm just kicking the job's ass

before it kicks mine,
like your mother said.

No, no. You do not get to use
my mother's words against me.

Well, let me tell you something
my mother used to say,

"Bats! There are bats everywhere, Alex,

and they know everybody's phone numbers."

So, how about you let me borrow
your mom for a minute?

Of course it was the right thing.

You drug-test her, and you ground her.

What's the problem?

Well, I just have no authority.

I-I'm not her mother or,

- What are you?
- I don't know.

Her friend? Or her sponsor maybe?

I-I'm trying to be whatever she needs.

She needs a damn mother, sounds like.

So, I should push it?

You're building a boat.

A boat?

It's what I used to tell Owen's dad.

They're gonna sail away from us, I said.

It's inevitable.

Our job is to build a boat strong enough

that, when they decide to,

they can get back to us safely.

Right.

So, I need to be firm, use tough wood,

and hammer in the nails with,

You're not building an actual boat.

The boat is your relationship with,

Right. No. I-I got it.

Thank you.

Let me ask you this.

Are you and Owen back together?

I can't tell, and he won't say.

Uh, I don't know.

I think we're just kind of,

Raising some kids together or whatever?

Lord.

Do you have an opinion either way?

Of course I do, dear.

I'm his mother.

Mr. Forrester.

Is she awake?

Uh...

We think that it's time.

Time for what?

Max, son, I'm, I'm gonna
go check on Mommy, okay?

Okay.

This could be his last chance
to say goodbye.

Please don't.

This is too much for him.

I mean, Max shouldn't even be here.

Look, I can take him to get
something to eat, if you like.

- Would you mind?
- Yeah.

Okay.

Hey, Max.

You hungry? No?

Do you want to see something cool?

I haven't left the country in a while.

Traveled to Europe after med school,

but I really need to go to Switzerland.

Yeah, getting to travel's the best thing

about being married to work.

It's the trade-off for all the sex

that work doesn't give you.

Do you travel a lot?

Um, no, but I can.

I got the time and the resources

to do whatever.

And there's no kids to worry about, so...

- Ah. Actually,
- You know, truly, that,

that is the most frustrating
thing about dating,

the single moms.

There's such a need to speed things up.

It's like, by the end of the first date,

they're talking marriage.

Kids can make women so...

Desperate?

Well, I don't want to call it that.

Yeah. You know what?
I do want to call it that.

What? What's wrong?

You have a kid.

I have three.

And while I don't feel like
I'm on any sort of clock,

I also don't feel like

they're holding me back from anything.

Yeah. I'm, I'm sorry.
I really didn't mean...

I know.

I said the One Thing, didn't I?

But this was fun.

Take care.

Whoa.

Are we even allowed to be up here?

Uh, not really, but, uh,

that's part of what makes it cool, right?

Why don't you come have a seat, pal?

I know she's not okay.

I can tell.

Why is my dad lying to me?

I wouldn't say he's lying, Max.

He's just trying to...

Look, when I was in college,

my mom went to go visit
my sister in Italy.

And one day, my sister calls me,
and she says,

"You have to come home right now.
Mom's really sick."

So, I flew home, and when I got there...

she had died of a stroke.

But the truth is, she was already dead

before my sister even called me.

- Your sister lied?
- Mm-hmm.

Yeah. She did.

And believe me, Max, I was so mad at her.

But then she said,

"I couldn't have you find out
without me being there to hug you."

- And then I understood.
- So, my dad is lying?

- No.
- Is my mom gonna die?

No, Max, I just mean,

- Is she dead already?
- Max, no.

I just mean it's hard
to face the truth sometimes.

It's scary, even for doctors.

W... Max.

Max, wait!

Hey. Max!

Max, wait!

Dr. Grey. You look nice.

Thanks. I had a meeting.

Hey! How was your date?

Oh. Oh, that kind of meeting.

Oh, let's not.

- Please, let's do.
- Yeah.

- I hate people.
- Oh, thank God.

This man's wife is dying,

and he's not gonna tell his kid
until after she's already dead,

when it's too late
for him to say goodbye.

- You.
- Me?

Yeah, you should answer this for me.

If you see a disaster coming

and you have to break
patient confidentiality

to prevent it,

don't you do that?

Like, I-I should tell you,
right, uh, them, him?

Well, it's an oath.

And as wrong as it feels,
is it your business?

I hate people.

So, how did it go?

Horribly.

I liked him a lot.
We found each other delightful.

And I thought, "Hey,
could it really be this easy?

How is that horrible?

Because then he said the One Thing,

that he hates kids

and that he finds
single mothers desperate.

Right. Okay. Next time!

Right. I don't think
there'll be a next time.

Don't! Don't give up!

For what it's worth, it,
it sounds like a great date.

I mean, if he hadn't said that thing,

you might have given it a go,

and then he would have probably
tried to hide his feelings

and the truth might not come out
for months or years.

So, I mean, you found out
there are good men out there,

and you dodged a very slow-moving bullet.

I'd call that a good use of your time.

Thanks, Herrera.

Dr. Mahoney to the ER.

Dr. Mahoney to the ER.

Hey.

Hey.

Have you seen a kid, 10 years old?

You've lost a child, Andrea?

I didn't lose a child.
I'm looking for one.

- Okay.
- Oh, uh, did you hear from Papa?

It's, uh, Just go.

Go find your kid, yeah?

- All right. Okay.
- Yeah.

Oh, oh, uh, Carina?

What?

You're a really good sister.

Max.

Max?

Bye-bye, bleb.

Now he'll breathe without a problem,

and he doesn't have to worry

about the thing bursting on its own.

Well, I understand the medicine, Karev.

What I'm not so sure of

is how you plan to tell his mother

and a medical ethics committee.

I'll probably tell them about
the time that I stole a car.

One night, my baby sister, Amber,

had the flu.

She spiked a fever of 104.

I was 12, home alone,
didn't know what to do.

So I broke into the neighbor's house,

stole the car keys,
and took her to the hospital,

where there were people
who would know what to do.

Why didn't you just call an ambulance?

You know how much
an ambulance ride costs?

I think I'll get a pass from his mom.

And I'm hoping there's no need
to face an ethics committee.

3-0 Vicryl?

- Can't you drive me home?
- Amelia's gonna do it.

How do you even deal with her?

Well, for one thing, I don't lie to her.

And, also, I accept her.

I accept that
she will be a little intense,

a little too much sometimes

because she cares so much.

She's trying to help you,
and if you let her,

she might stop driving you so crazy.

Did you take the drug test?

No.

Well, uh, I will show you
where the bathroom is.

I smoked some weed.

Me and a friend.

It wasn't heroin. It wasn't pills.

It was just weed.

There's no "just weed," okay?

Because when a junkie
smokes weed or drinks,

we sometimes forget to not do heroin.

It triggers cravings, all of it, Betty.

And you've been to plenty of meetings,

so I think you know that already.

Okay?

So... you're grounded.

One month, no friends,
no hanging out after school.

Wait. One month?

Are you crazy?

- Amelia,
- Shh! I am building a boat.

One month, you go to school,

you come home and go to meetings.

That is it. Then we'll talk.

Oh, my God. Okay, yeah, whatever.

You are so lame. You are both so lame.

I'll be in the car.

- We are lame.
- We're so lame.

Hi, Julius. Surgery went well.

We removed the bleb with no problem,

and you have two very healthy lungs.

You stab people?

To, To give them surgery?

My mother said, "Tell the truth."

You needed the surgery,
and you needed it covered.

My mom's gonna go crazy.

No. Crazy happy.

She's been saving for this,
like, forever.

"Just tell the best version
of the truth you can."

Hey, won't you get fired for this?

Oh, probably not. I'm the chief.

I'm sorry.

For calling me a hooker?

I never called you a...

You suggested I'd trade sex

for a multimillion-dollar MRI machine,

which makes me a pretty
high-class hooker, actually.

Tell him to watch the wound,

and if there's any increase in redness,

I want to see him back here, cool?

Is that...

- That's Link. He's the new,
- Atticus Lincoln?!

Brooke?!

Link?!

What?!

Ahh!

Oh, my gosh!

Ahh! You work here?!

- I work here!
- No way!

Because the truth
is gonna come out sometime.

He saying his goodbyes?

His kid still doesn't even know
what's coming.

Keep me posted.

Hey.

I should have told him.

I had the chance to tell him,
and I should have.

Nobody wants a surprise like that.

You deserve a heads-up.

"Surprise. Your mother's gone."

"Surprise. Your boyfriend
went to go be with the trees."

"Surprise, Amelia."

"Surprise, Amelia," what?

And the one thing
you can't do with the truth

is hide from it...

Teddy Altman is pregnant.

It's Owen's baby.

Owen doesn't know, Amelia doesn't know,

and I just broke
doctor/patient confidentiality

by telling you.

Max!

Have you guys seen Max?

No. I thought he was with you.

I lost him, okay? I-I lost Max.

He ran away,
and I can't find him anywhere.

Max!

...because the truth
is gonna come looking...

...until it finds you.
