Oh, this has got to stop.
I'm losing my mind.

How are you sleeping through this?

Kwanie? Kwan-Kwan!

♪ Keep up ♪

Hi. So sorry. Who are you?

There's a neuron that holds the smell

of your prom date's cologne.

Another neuron contains the sound

of your dress being zipped up.

And one for your favorite
song you danced to that night.

Are you going to work?
It's 3:00 in the morning.

Tell that to Griffith.

- Hey, who's that girl in your room?
- No one.

Why are you down here? Does she snore?

I'm going back to sleep.

To remember the whole evening,

you need all of these neurons
to communicate with each other

to make a complete picture.

But when the brain experiences trauma,

these neurons can be
starved of oxygen and die.

Ugh, they forgot to place
a supply order last week.

We're down to the last case of 4x4.

- Can we steal from cardio?
- If we can borrow a nurse for clinic.

Yeah. How did this place
survive a week without us?

Beyond me. Hey, do
you know a Nora Young?

Yeah, she grew up down
the street from me.

She was one of my sister's friends. Why?

Well, Megan's sending her here.

She has a perfed esophagus
from a Nissen procedure.

They tried to repair it,
but it still has a leak.

[SIGHS] You know, I
haven't seen Nora in years.

She was kind of a pain.
Very bossy and tightly wound.

I mean assertive and goal-oriented.

Instead of complete memories,
you're left with glimpses.

Good morning.

I hope you are ready to
hit the ground running.

I've got some new ideas
for genetic targets.

Is that a new PCR machine?

- Where'd that come from?
- Dr. Ridgeson got an NIH grant.

Kate Ridgeson?

Why's she putting her
equipment in my lab?

It's her lab now.

[CLEARS THROAT]

Guess I'll take the stairs.

... there's no way to get them back.

There is supposed to be a
ding before the doors open.

- Where was the ding?
- Okay. Let's take a step back.

She's seen plenty of people kiss.

She's our boss, one
of our many bosses...

Exactly. She has way
more important things

to worry about today.

We are gonna go out there,
like the badasses we are,

like nothing happened,
and all will be well.

[BOTH EXHALE DEEPLY]

[DOOR OPENS]

- Have you seen Catherine?
- Uh, she should be here soon.

Excuse you. I was here first.

Well, this can't wait.

- Uh, didn't you get fired?
- I wouldn't use those words.

[DOOR OPENS]

Dr. Fox, do you have a minute?

Okay, I know we've had our differences,

but I would like to talk to you

about coming back as residency director.

We had an appointment
to discuss my research.

Didn't we, Dr. Fox?

Call my assistant

and make an appointment,
Dr. Bailey, please.

D... Oh.

Put on heels for this.

Sit.

You've got some nerve.

How about, "Thank you

for flying all the way across
the country to check on me

'cause no one knows I'm being treated

for Budd-Chiari syndrome"?

Do you have a butterfly?

- Go easy, now.
- Or what? You'll fire me?

- Over there.
- Okay, thanks.

Okay, but if she's his cousin,

then why wouldn't he
just say that, right?

SIMONE: Kwan has some
mystery woman visiting.

LUCAS: Good for him. I don't care.

You know what's gonna be fun?

July, when you're an intern again

- and we're all your bosses.
- Ha-ha.

- Hi. Hello. Hi. Good morning.
- Morning.

- Where's Kwan?
- BLUE: Here. I'm here.

Okay, for a second there,
I thought you were sick,

Which is a great reminder.

If you're feeling under the
weather, do not get together,

because I-I really... I cannot
have you dropping like flies.

I'm going to bring up the schedule now.

What's she doing here?

- She wanted me to tell her about us.
- At the hospital?

Yeah. She refused to leave.

Guess the amnesia didn't
erase her stubborn streak.

Okay, so, Griffith, you're with Altman.

Yasuda, you're with Beltran.
Uh, Shepherd is back,

so, Millin, you'll be with her in neuro.

Kwan, you're with Hunt. Oh, and, Adams,

it looks like you are all set
to help me with progress notes.

Although Ndugu did request
you, so it's your call.

Uh, maybe I should just
see what Ndugu wants.

Oh, yeah. Great idea.

Ooh, so if anybody
wants to do a switcheroo,

I have a spot open with me.

So... And we... Sure. No. Okay.

Yeah.

Go, team! [LAUGHS]

If you take down a
dressing to look at a wound,

you have to redo it.

I have my own job, okay?

I can't follow you around all
day cleaning up your messes.

- She does not hold back, does she?
- She does not.

And yesterday I would've thrown down.

But today I am trying something new.

Oh, yeah? What's that?

Professional detachment.

I know I'm not getting
the peds fellowship.

I saw the list of ranked applicants.

Somebody left it at the nurses' station.

- I'm sorry. I-I wanted to tell you.
- It's okay.

I-I knew my ABSITE
wasn't competitive enough,

and I don't have the
research experience.

- [SIGHS]
- I will find something else.

- No question.
- Alright, let's go round.

CAL: Did you know that there are
more than 200 frozen dead people

- on Mount Everest?
- MIKA: That's nothing.

Ever hear of a little
boat called the Titanic?

MONICA: Elvis died on the toilet.

Not that you know who that is.

JAMES: Heart attack, not constipation.

Common misconception.

- Lovely.
- I'm the cool chaplain.

EDDIE: Ever since Cal's mom died,

he's, uh, been a little
obsessed with death.

Oh, I was obsessed with
embalming when I was your age,

so I get it.

- Yasuda?
- MIKA: Cal Huang, 15.

Diagnosed eight years ago
with Li-Fraumeni syndrome,

a genetic disorder associated

with an increased likelihood of cancer.

He's in remission for an
adrenocortical carcinoma

treated two years ago.

Admitted from clinic for a work-up

of his increasing mid-back pain.

He hasn't been able to
sleep, barely has an appetite.

- It's another tumor, isn't it?
- Let's not get ahead of ourselves.

We need to run some more tests
to get to the bottom of this pain.

But your labs have
come back normal so far.

Yeah, Dr. Schmitt's
right. One step at a time.

Dr. Yasuda will take
you to get your CT scan,

and I'll come check on you
when we have the results.

Is now a good time to talk about

getting the funding for
my research project back?

Do you want my clot to just blow?

Meredith.

Why didn't you tell me you
were coming back to town?

D-Did you change your mind?

Are you back at the Fox Foundation?

- I'm working out the details.
- What does that mean?

What's happening with
the research funding?

- Did Catherine say something?
- Now's not really a good time.

Why won't you give me a straight answer?

Can we talk about this later?
I'm checking on a patient.

Your scans are up. Liver cancer?

What?

That liver's covered in tumors.

Dr. Ndugu?

I was told you requested me.

Yeah, I did. Dr. Pierce said
you declined her offer in Chicago.

Yeah, it was a great opportunity,
but... I'm happy where I am.

Well, we have some great
opportunities here, too.

How about you join us
today in the skills lab?

Yeah, we're setting up a
vascular anastomosis lab

for the residents.

TEDDY: Dr. Webber, I've
been looking for you.

I wanted to thank you
for holding down the fort

while I was gone.

I was overlooking the OR schedule,

and it is a mess without Bailey,

so I hope it's okay,
but I took the liberty

of filling up your schedule
for the next two weeks.

And don't worry. It's not all hernias.

Who said you should do that?

Well, it's the chief's job
to oversee the schedule.

You're not the chief.

Well, Catherine said
that I had my job back.

You are employed as a
cardiothoracic surgeon.

Now, when you can do that
job without breaking the rules

or without stealing any money,
then we'll see about chief.

I see.

Okay. Thank you.

We've been at this a while.

What do you say we, uh, get out of here,

- take a break?
- That's not necessary.

Maybe not for you.
I haven't left the hospital in 36 hours.

You golf, right?

You too, Adams.

So, are you going to tell me who she is,

or am I going to have
to pry it out of you?

- Hey. Welcome back.
- Thanks.

Let's go.

EMT: Nora Young, 46, female.

Status post Nissen fundoplication,

complicated by an
esophageal perforation,

post primary repair with
ongoing leak and infection.

Rooster, look at you, all grown up.

- Hi, Nora.
- Is she talking to you?

- Afraid so.
- Ah.

Owen... Uh, sorry, Dr. Hunt.

God, that sounds weird.

Dr. Hunt played Rooster

in Taft Middle School's
nineteen eighty...

oh, the year doesn't matter...
production of "Annie."

You're a theater kid?

Listen, I did one play for extra credit.

He wore suspenders, and
his little voice cracked.

Okay, uh, this is my
wife, Dr. Teddy Altman.

She's gonna be taking care of you.

- Welcome to Grey-Sloan.
- Thank you so much.

I know you're busy. Megan
said you're the boss.

[CHUCKLES] Yeah. Well, I'm glad to help.

Any friend of Megan's
is a friend of ours.

Alright, we'll upload those
scans from the last hospital

- and take it from there.
- Thank you.

Let's go.

Hey, hey. Um...

- You okay?
- Yeah, yeah. I'm fine.

Hey, uh, I have to do a baptism.

Could you give this to Cal?

A coffin catalog?

Yeah, he... he really wanted camo,

but the closest I could
find was Army green.

He's 15.

He has a genetic disorder
that predisposes him to cancer.

Okay, you don't need to explain

my patient's pathology to me.

If you want to give this to him,
which I highly advise against,

you'll have to do it yourself.

Are you at peace with mortality, Doctor?

Father, with all due respect...

It's Reverend. But
you can call me James.

Great. Now, if you'll excuse
me, I have to get back to work.

Is that a coffin catalog?

So, good news is it looks
like a benign schwannoma

of the thoracic group, but it's huge.

Can we resect it?

I don't see how. It's
so close to the spine.

Look at all of the consults that
haven't yet scheduled procedures

and try to get some
of those on the books.

Dr. Shepherd, I didn't
know you were back.

Oh, well, yeah, just
trying to ease back in.

Well, sorry to mess up your plans,

but could you take a look at this?

I can't figure out the right approach.

- Wow, that is a puzzle.
- Yeah.

Do you think you could
squeeze in a consult?

He's in a lot of pain.

I think I can probably
shuffle some things around.

Let's schedule an MRI

and a spinal 3-D
reconstruction on these scans.

So this is it. This is how I die.

We don't know that.

[SCOFFS] I know my
primary cancer, Meredith.

The scan tells me it's
mets or new cancer.

Neither is a good option.

We won't know that for sure
until we get further testing.

Don't placate me.

Fine. You don't want me to placate you.

- You need to tell Richard.
- No.

He can help you through
this. No, Meredith.

He would want to help you.

Do you know how many
complications I have every year?

Low neutrophils, pain in my back,

pain in my chest, pain in my ass.

I don't want Richard
panicking every month,

every week, putting his life on hold,

waiting to see if I'm going to die.

It's not over. This is not the end.

Maybe not for you, but it is for me.

This is gonna sound weird
given where I am right now,

but... I feel like a movie star.

- You're right. That does sound weird.
- I have four kids.

My life is laundry and making lunches.

And today I was whisked away in a plane,

and you're giving me
blankets I didn't even wash.

Probably sounds so sad to you.

Are you kidding? I don't
know how moms do it.

SSRIs and wine.

At least that's how I do it.

Do you always want a big family?

I wanted to be a White House reporter.

Then I met my husband.

His family has a sugar
beet farm in the country.

And it's this... big operation.

Every farmer needs his wife.

Needed. We're at the finish
line of a long divorce.

- I'm sorry.
- I'm not.

After this, we'll check
on your labs and CT,

and then Dr. Altman will be
back to discuss next steps.

How did she end up on this floor?

Are you hooking up with
a patient's granddaughter?

No.

Hey, you shouldn't be here in the ICU.

Um, I brought you a bagel.

I saw you didn't eat
anything this morning.

I never eat breakfast.
And that used to drive you crazy.

Well, it's the most
important meal of the day.

Coffee is the most
important meal of the day.

If we were engaged, why could
I only find one photo of you?

- I don't know.
- How did we meet?

At a Halloween party.

You were dressed up
as a... giant disco ball.

It was so big that you couldn't
fit in through the bathroom door.

I was waiting to go next,

and then you asked me if
I could hug the costume

so you could squeeze in.

We looked so dumb, and
we couldn't stop laughing.

And I saw your reflection

on the tiny little
mirrors on the costume.

And... I remember thinking...

there's no view of this
person I didn't like.

Well, that must have been nice,

to be loved like that.

Why did we break up?

- It was complicated.
- What does that mean?

- [MONITOR BEEPING RAPIDLY]
- Code blue!

WOMAN: Code blue, fourth floor...

I need a crash cart in here now!

Code blue, fourth floor, surgical ICU.

There.

Ahh.

Okay, northeasterly breeze.

Show you fellas how this is done.

♪

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh. No.

[THUDDING]

Isn't the hole over there?

Maybe the sun got in his eyes.

Alright, I'm a little
rusty. That's okay.

- Adams, you any good?
- I'm alright.

Okay.

That was just alright?

Well, compared to the
guys I normally play with.

I think this young man
just insulted us, Dr. Ndugu.

Hey, you saw where my ball went.

Well, let's see if I still got it.

[CLEARS THROAT]

Whew! That's a beauty right there.

- You're going down.
- [LAUGHTER]

TEDDY: Alright, bring me up to speed.

She vomited over a liter of blood.

We can't get a read on her BP anymore.

- She's about to code.
- Alright, with this much bleeding,

it could be an upper GI or
an aorto-esophageal fistula.

Griffith, you're gonna help
me place a Minnesota tube.

I need Kerlix, an IV bag, and X-ray.

- I'm in. Color change noted.
- Great.

Griffith, have you ever
placed a balloon tamponade?

You're gonna take this.
It is just like an OG tube.

You are gonna place a catheter

down the throat behind the ET tube.

Yep.

I think I'm in the stomach.

Inflate the gastric balloon.

Alright, let me take a look.

Perfect. Alright, let's
get X-ray out of here.

We need to engage traction.

Alright, Kwan, hook up
suction to the esophageal port.

Good, good, good.

You're right. Bleeding must
be coming from the esophagus.

Alright, inflate the esophageal balloon.

We have seconds before she codes.

- Should we hang another unit?
- Yes. Where are we, Griffith?

Esophageal balloon is inflated.

Great job, everyone. What's the plan?

TEVAR and stent to cover the fistula?

Excellent. Alright,
Kwan, book and IR suite.

Bleeding has stopped.

Dr. Bailey.

Dr. Bailey, I need a consult.

Oh, go ask someone on the payroll.

If this is about this
morning, I'm sorry.

[SCOFFS] Are you?

Well, you didn't seem
sorry when you brazenly

got in the way of me
trying to get my job back.

And you don't seem sorry
at all that Sydney Heron

is still bossing my interns around.

Wait. Sydney Heron's back?

Yeah, in all her perky,
passive-aggressive glory.

So you need a consult, page her.

- I'm not paging Sydney Heron.
- Well, call Webber.

- I can't.
- And why not?

Because the patient
doesn't want him to know.

AMELIA: Alright, what are we looking at?

JULES: The schwannoma has
invaded this spinal column,

and now it is compressing the cord.

Well, it's incredible
that he made it this long

without becoming symptomatic.

Yeah, well, he spent his
life in and out of hospitals.

At this point, his pain
tolerance is very high.

MIKA: Can't imagine being
15, knowing that every moment,

your cells could be
mutating into cancer,

and still have to take a geometry final.

LEVI: If we do an anterior approach,

we won't be able to assess
the posterior margins.

And if we go in posteriorly,

we can't access the thoracic component.

Can we just turn him
over during surgery?

Well, we wouldn't have
to if he's on his side.

Dr. Beltran, you could open his chest

and work from front to back,

and then I could open his
back and work my way forward.

- You think that's too risky?
- I think risky is all Cal has.

Let's go talk to him and his dad.

Um, Cal's not in his room.

- Where is he?
- The chaplain said

that he was taking him
somewhere and not to worry.

- [SIGHS]
- What?

He's part of the care team.

Nora has an aorto-esophageal fistula,

and I can't find anyone to
help me repair her esophagus.

Why is no one answering OR six?

I'm sure we can find someone to help.

Are you magic? Can you just
pull someone out of thin air?

Because Bailey works across the street,

Richard has taken the day off,

and Sydney Heron's in
an emergency debridement.

- Who's Sydney Heron?
- She's the new Bailey.

And she's an acquired taste
which I will never have.

Pretty sure Richard wouldn't
mind coming in for an emergency.

- I don't think that's a good idea.
- Why not?

He could do an esophageal
stent in his sleep.

Richard is not stepping down from chief.

He said that he doesn't trust me.

So I don't think that he and
I should be operating together.

Could you finish up in here, please?

Thanks.

What do you mean he said
he doesn't trust you?

What did you say to that?

Nothing. His mind is made up.
Alright, you know what I'm gonna do?

I am gonna call in Richard,
and I'll just replace myself.

- Beckman can do it.
- No, Nora came all this way to see you.

I'll do it. I'll stent the esophagus.

Tis is your first day
back in the trauma room.

And you are the best damn CT
surgeon in this whole hospital.

- Let me help.
- Thank you. Okay.

I'll see you in the OR.

MEREDITH: She doesn't want
any type of intervention.

I practically had to hold
her down for her blood draw.

I don't blame her.
She's been through a lot.

I didn't think you and Catherine

were exactly on good terms these days.

Are you on good terms
with all of your patients?

She's a trailblazer. I respect her.

She paved the way, showed
me what was possible.

I owe her my career, even
if I'm sidelined right now.

Although, in fairness,
that was my decision.

Okay, look, see, these masses

look like they've been
growing for a while.

By now, wouldn't you
think there'd be mets

in other places, too?

It could be a different primary cancer.

What if it isn't cancer at all?

Maybe hemangiomas or other
fatty changes from ischemia.

The odds of that are almost nonexistent.

It's Catherine Fox. Anything's possible.

[INDISTINCT CONVERSATION]

Hey, what are you doing out here?

CAL: Just planning my
funeral in case I croak.

LEVI: You're not dying.

What you have is a benign tumor
that we are going to remove today.

Yasuda, will you please
take Cal up to his room?

MIKA: Alright. Train's leaving.

He wanted to plan his funeral.

I know that he'll
likely get more cancers,

and I know that one of them
will probably take his life.

But I can't think about that right now,

because I have to focus on
removing the gigantic one

that's impinging on his spine.

That's quite the God
complex you have there.

- I'm doing my job.
- Screw your job.

Be a person.

His whole obsession with death,
the facts, the jokes... he's scared.

He's telling you he is scared.

He has an incurable genetic disease.

I can't fix that for him.
I can't make that go away.

And if I can't, there's sure
as hell nothing you can do.

Look, you might have
more schooling than me.

You might get more respect.

Not golf.

How'd you get to be so good?

Oh, my dad pushed me to learn.

Said it'd helped me socialize

I guess he had a point.

Yeah, sometimes I forget.

Your lawyers know where to find me.

I needed a consult.

Can't you give me the dignity
of just dying in private?

But what if it isn't cancer?

You saw the scans.

I did, and while they are concerning,

there's a chance that the lesions

are a benign finding

of your subacute Budd-Chiari syndrome.

And we could do a biopsy to find out.

My liver is teeming with lesions.

A biopsy could cause bleeding, a stroke.

It's dangerous. It's absurd.

Why would you even recommend that?

Because it's what
Richard taught me to do.

And I think it's what he would want.

JULES: Alright. Like this?

Yeah. Good.

Make sure the knot is square.

- That's great.
- Okay. What now?

Now we celebrate.

Great job, everybody.

MONICA: Dr. Schmitt, after
we take him to post-op,

would you like to tell
his dad the good news?

On it.

TEDDY: Deploying the stent.

She didn't seem bossy to me.

Nora and Megan used to make me
pitch batting practice to them,

and they would heckle me,

in very colorful language, I might add.

Bet she didn't expect to
put her life in your hands.

Okay, let's get ready to inject the dye.

- Okay.
- [ALARM BEEPING]

Damn it. Get me a balloon for dilation.

- Griffith, what do you see?
- Blood is coming from the stent.

Correct. Kwan, next steps?

You dilate the balloon to push
the stent into the aortic wall

- to stop the leak.
- Good job.

Alright. Inserting the balloon.

Alright, balloon is in.
Inflating the balloon.

♪

Good.

Alright, inject the dye.

SIMONE: Leak is fixed.

- Great work, everyone.
- Let's remove the sheath

so Dr. Hunt can place
the esophageal stent.

LEVI: The surgery
couldn't have gone better.

Thank you. Cal's a great kid.

When he wakes up, I found
a killer death fact for him.

Oh. That was actually unintentional.

- [RAPID BEEPING]
- Get me lorazepam.

- What's happening?
- Page Beltran and Shepherd.

- On it.
- Okay. You're okay. I'm here.

Now, that's what you call a birdie.

I'd just like to state
that if we played football,

I would have wiped the
floor with both of you.

I wouldn't be so sure.

Why don't you go return the cart?

[LAUGHS]

Well, we still got some daylight.

You want to go hit some
on the driving range?

[LAUGHS]

What?

You don't see how ridiculous it is

that you're worried about losing
steam in the operating room?

You've got more focus and
stamina than an intern.

Look, golf is different.

It's not that different.

Both take endurance and concentration,

that fire in your belly.

Look, I made a mistake.

Yeah, we all make mistakes.

Not everybody is over 65.

Yeah, I don't buy it.
Don't get me wrong.

It's good that you're taking stock.

It'd be irresponsible not to.

But... from where I stand,
you're still going strong.

[SIREN WAILING IN DISTANCE]

Why do they have to have
peanut shells on the floor?

Uh, do you want to go someplace else?

There's a nice, um, sushi
restaurant across the street.

No, this is the one place

Richard won't think to look for me.

Would you like to discuss your options?

I understand my pros and cons.

What I don't know is if I
have the fortitude, the energy.

My body is tired.

And what you're asking, more surgery,

another treatment...

Unless it's benign.

We know the odds of that are minuscule.

But they're not nothing.

Catherine Fox, well, I
expected more from you.

You have shattered every glass
ceiling, beaten every odd.

Right? Why are you giving up?

You better watch your tone

if you want your job back, Dr. Bailey.

Look, I'll find another
job if I need to,

but come on, you have
so much to live for.

Why won't you try?

Do you think I'm just sitting back,

waiting for death to
come and snuff me out?

Most days I feel like
the same young woman I was

with the world at my feet.

But I don't believe in
miracles. I believe in science.

And the science is not on my side.

Maybe. Or maybe not.

But we won't know unless
you let us do the biopsy.

How many of your patients
have beaten the odds?

Why them and not you?

Fine. Do the damn biopsy.

But one of you pay for the drinks.

[SIREN WAILING IN DISTANCE]

I'm glad you called Megan when you did.

You were a lot sicker
than anyone realized.

We almost lost you.

Yeah, but now you're
gonna make a full recovery.

Thank you, all of you.

- Our pleasure.
- It's Megan.

Are you okay if I give her the update?

Please. I owe her my life.

Okay, let's order some post-op labs.

- Mm-hmm.
- Thanks.

You really grew up
to look like your dad.

I can't believe you remember him.

I mean, you must have
been 6 or 7 when he died.

He put me on his shoulders once

so I could reach the monkey bars.

I never forgot it.

It was good seeing you.

I got here as fast as
I could. What are...

Oh, my God.

Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma.

With satellite lesions.

But he gets yearly full-body scans.

This was just missed?

It could have been too small
to catch on his last one.

I mean, this is a rapid-growing
malignant brain tumor.

Soon it is gonna start affecting
all of his vital functions...

breathing, blood pressure, heart.

JULES: Isn't there
anything we can do for him?

Radiation, chemo?

I mean, we could put
him through radiation,

but it'll give him maybe
two agonizing months.

So it's a death sentence.

- I'll go talk to Cal and his dad.
- I'll do it. I'll tell them.
