Hey,
did you get any sleep?

I was up all night

trying to figure out
why Cerone hated Ellis.

They were friends,
respected colleagues.

Listen to this --

"Marie's hepatico-J technique
is fascinating...

We were up again all night
talking and drinking."

Meredith:
On average, a healthy heart
beats 115,000 times per day.

And she knew
about Richard.

"MC says
I'm better off without RW.

He was just
a distraction from work."

Maybe she hated Richard.

Maybe she was in love with
Ellis.

Maybe there's a whole
other love triangle

that I don't know about.

When excited,
the heart rate can double.

Are you listening to me?

Um...uh, y-- ah, no.

I'm just -- I'm a little
distracted today.

I'll say.

You just buttered
the kitchen towel,

and your shirt
is on inside out.

What? Mm.

Is this about Clive?

Because I told you
that wasn't your fault.

Yeah...Clive.

Stupid, awful,
married Clive.

Morning, sestras!

Where did you sleep?

Didn't yet.
Going to now.

The heart pumps
2,000 gallons of blood

through your entire body
24 hours a day.

It never rests.

Koracick:
Morning.

Ugh.

Shall I whip us up
some mean frittatas

or do the slut

Second option, please?

Pretty sure
you're hungry.

Can you
take my robe off?

Oh, dessert before breakfast --
I like it.

No, I mean,
take off my robe,

put some clothes on,
and leave my home.

I have to vomit,

and I prefer to do it
in private.

The heart is the hardest-
working muscle in your body.

But when it's damaged,
it's just like skin.

It scars.

Hey!
God, you had a late night.

Yeah, I wanted to
keep an eye on Kimmie,

but I told Pierce I'd assist
on a case, so...

I'm gonna head back.

Oh, the Dor procedure?
I'm on that, too. Yay!

I feel like I haven't
seen you all week.

And scar tissue can be
very dangerous in a heart.

It weakens it.

What's this?
Oh, fellowship instructions
for next year.

UC San Francisco?

I know. They're ranked
in the top 2% in the country.

Northwestern?

Ambitious,
but I'm applying everywhere.

It's what you do, right?
You coming?

And eventually, a heart
full of scars stops working.

So, basically, I excise
the scarred part of the heart,

and then reshape
the ventricular cavity geometry,

and then sew in a Dacron patch,
which sounds easy,

but this kid's left ventricle
is completely scarred.

A Dor surgery
requires mastery.

You should send the interns
to the gallery to watch.

Oh, forget them.

I'm rearranging my meetings,
so I can watch.

-They'll just block my view.

Well,
the interns are away

taking their, uh,
in-training exams.

-Even better.
-Their loss.

Have someone page me when
you're headed to the O.R.

Oh, uh...

You all right?

Yeah, I'm grood, I'm grood.
I'm good.

I'm not grood.

That's a cross between
great and good.

Hmm.
Yeah.
People say that.

-Okay.
-Mm-hmm.

Um, how you feeling about
that date tonight?

Dinner?

No.

No?

Because I am a surgeon,

and I hold human hearts
in my hands,

and I cannot risk
buttering the wrong ventricle.

You're doing what
to the...ventricle?

I'm saying that
I need to focus today.

I have a major surgery
on a kid and...

...I need to give that
my exclusive focus

and...
you make my hands shake.

-Got it.
-Yes. Sorry.

Mm-hmm.

I can't drink this.
What am I carrying it for?

Are you watching me
walk away?

No. No.

What's his BNP?

Uh, it's 750
and that's after diuresis.

And his ejection fraction
is at 30%,

which is why we have to
do this today.

Do you have any questions
before the surgery?

This surgery shall
slay the dragon forevermore?

He means
the ECMO machine.

They call it "the dragon."

Because
dragons can be slain.

By the right knight
at the right moment,

they can always be slain.

That makes you
his knight in shining armor.

And you are?

I'm his knight in
shining other-armor.

-That's very poetic.

Well,
it is my most fervent hope

that we will slay
this ECMO dragon today.

You don't have to play along
with their "costume play."

It just encourages them.

We're young and in love,
fair mother of mine.

We need all the encouragement
we can get.

And it's called cosplay.

In love is great,

but I miss when you only
wore costumes on Halloween.

Why should the world be dull and
lifeless 364 days of the year?

That's why

First love, right?

Are you ticklish, Alex?

Okay, stop, no.
We have to focus, okay?

So, the thin, flexible barrier
around a cell is called the --

Why don't we just
study later?

Because
you have a test.

Yeah, well...
I kind of took it this morning.

W--
Are you serious?

No, you did not.
Yeah.

Then what are we
doing here?

Duh, Alex.

I wanted to see you.

I thought we could
discuss business over doughnuts.

I brought you chocolate-frosted,
your favorite,

but I also brought
almond croissants

in case your tastes
have matured.

Or we can feed it
to the mouse.

Why did you pretend
everything is okay

and not mention that you've had
a falling out with my mother?

I didn't pretend anything.

You waltzed in here
like it's a family reunion,

and now you're plying me
with sugar like I'm a child.

My affection for you has
nothing to do with your mother.

Yes, we had a falling out,
but I thought you knew.

Well, I didn't.

So now I need you to tell me
why you're really here.

Darling,
you reached out to me --

Are you even going to
let me license the patent?

Whatever happened between you
and my mother, it's --

it has nothing to do with me,

so please let's not
let a petty disagreement

get in the way of what could be
a landmark medical breakthrough.

There is nothing petty here,
Meredith.

Are you interested in my story
or only your own?

Hey.

I ran a blood gas,
CBC, and BMP,

and I corrected Charlie's
magnesium and potassium levels.

Are you seriously
mad about this?

About what?

You --
You have been silent,

and you've barely looked at me
since you saw my applications.

You did the same thing
your fifth year.

I know you applied to
half of the same places!

Which is why
I didn't say anything.

Go ahead
and do what you want.

Change of plans.
UNOS called.

There is a donor heart in Oregon
for Charlie Peterson.

So, the Dor procedure's
now a transplant.

Yeah.

You --
Which is a good thing, right?

This was
my Michelangelo moment.

Surgical architecture.

But we're saving
a kid's life!

And we're -- we're giving him
a chance at love,

and I am
a terrible person.

Love?
I was promised mastery.

Now I have to
go do paperwork.

I've been on the list for three
years without a single call,

and the day I'm supposed to get
the Dor, they find me a match?

It's poetic, right?

Meant to be.
Just like us.

No.

No what?

No, thank you.

I want the surgery I came here
for on my own heart,

if you please,
brave knight.

The Dor procedure --
while very, very cool --

is not
a permanent solution.

It would just
buy us more time.

The heart transplant is what
we've been waiting for, honey.

That was before.

Before what?

Before Henry.

This scarred heart of mine
fell in love with Henry.

What if the new heart
doesn't love him?

That's not how it works.

Love has nothing to do
with the heart.

Tell that to every poet
in the history of the world.

Adrenaline, dopamine,
and serotonin

are the chemicals in your brain
telling you that you love Henry.

And brain chemicals
eventually fade.

They always do.

I know you think we're foolish
because you're old and jaded.

But this love is exquisite
and I'm not gonna risk it...

even if it only lasts
one more year.

That's, like,
so sweet it hurts.

Brave knight,
I beg of you,

slay the dragon
you came here to slay,

and give the new heart
to someone else.

Charlie,
if you decline this heart,

you're just going to

Because it's not.
It's stupid.

Just give me

Mom, no!
Can we just, um --

Can we have a little time?

There is no time. The heart
will go to someone else.

A few minutes alone.

Can you give us that?

We'll need
a yes or a no soon.

in the CCU overnight,

and pump him full of Lasix,

and then when
the swelling goes down,

we can go back in and cover it
with a sternal muscle flap.

We might need to
take out the sternum

and we'll need Avery to close,
but we can do this.

I'll update his mom.

What do you mean
you'll leave him open overnight?

Well, we won't close his chest

So his heart
will just be unprotected?

The priest said talk to God,
but I-I --

I wanted to find God
and choke the life out of Him.

I didn't want
to talk to God.

I didn't care
what He had to say.

I wanted to talk to my son.

I was not, um, as delightful
then in that period

as I am now.

I --
I was not fit company.

My marriage fell apart.
I was alone.

So I went to church.

Because in church,

you can talk out loud all by
yourself and not look crazy.

So I would go to Mass,

and I would talk to my son.

I still do.

I don't think God left me
or I left God.

I just think
we got in a fight.

That's all.

Your turn.

I thought you were here
for more sex.

Meredith: Ellis wrote about
Cerone in her journals.

They talked about Richard.
They had tequila nights.

And then one day, she just
stopped writing about her.

They went from tequila nights
three times a week to nothing.

I mean, I think Cerone
was my mother's Christina,

and I think
my mother sharked her.

If Yang published work
that you two did together

only under her name,
would you forgive her?

No.

And I think I might just make it
my life's work to get her back.

All right, so what are you gonna
do about it?

I don't know.

Let's talk about
something else.

Jo might leave.

What?

She's applying for
fellowship outside of Seattle.

Okay,
so she's pursuing her career.

I know.

So you can't take her
career ambitions personally.

She's --
She's not abandoning you.

She's not Izzie.

Let's talk about
something else.

Doing what?

Oh, hey.

Cadaver Leonard -- an educator,
a listener, and a true friend.

I want you to know that, uh,
even in your death,

which happened a while ago,

you will live on forever
within us.

Are you okay?

Mm-hmm.

Well, I guess, uh,
this is it, then.

Uh, um, did you want to
say something?

I have a poem.

With formaldehyde
and 10 blades...

my cadaver
stole my heart.

Every day I ached when
we were forced to part.

My hands in your guts,
my dreams realized.

And with you,
I was simply paralyzed.

My words fail me...

...and methinks
that I blather.

But I must tell you, Steve,
you're my cadaver.

You're my dead guy?
You're basically my dead guy?

That's --
How is that romantic?

Well,
I loved cadaver Leonard.

We loved him together.

You really were a dork.

I thought
that he would get it.

I thought
that he would get

that I loved him
the way that we loved Leonard,

but, you know,
he didn't get it.

And, uh, that kind of blew it
for me on the dating scene.

Everybody thought I was into,
you know, cadavers.

My med-school nickname
was Zombie.

And Steve turned out to be gay
anyway.

That poem was
ahead of its time.

All right,
sternum's out.

We need the muscle flap.
Let's page Dr. Avery.

Oh, I'm right here.

Oh, my God.

What do you want to do?
Pectoralis flap or omental?

What do you say, there,
Zombie?

Did you, um --
you hear the poem, too?

Did I hear it?
I want my own copy.

Pectoralis, methinks.

Marie,
I need your polymer.

I can't continue my work
without it.

I can't undo
my mother's legacy --

not when she isn't here
to tell me her side of it.

I-I can give you
any amount of money you want,

but I can't do that.

I won't do that.

I do understand.

But I know that
you will understand

that I have
an entire company

that will dedicate itself now
to this idea of yours.

I have my polymer,
and I have your science.

The mini livers will be known
as the Cerone method.

Marie, is there some way --
anything.

Is there some other way?

Darling,
I know that it isn't fair.

It isn't your crime, and
it shouldn't be your burden.

I'm sorry that your mother
left you to clean up her messes.

Unsurprising, though.
