Especially when it comes
to saving our patients.
Come on. Let's go. Let's go!
Time to brush the yucky away.

Okay. I know you said
simple, but hear me out.

We could do the ceremony
overlooking the bay.
We can do the

You hate it. You hate the bay.
You hate me looking for
wedding venues without you.
Actually, I love all those things.
But isn't that place
booked years in advance?
I know. My cousin said
he could hook us up.
Second weekend in June,
but we have to decide fast.
Even though I know you
want to do your research
to make sure this one's the one.
I really, really do! [CHUCKLES]

We have till next Monday to tell him.
MIKA: Aah! Oh, my God!
Are you kidding me?
W-What happened?
There's no hot water!
I went for a run and I smell,
and there's no hot water.
Is that Trey?
Hey, Yasuda. I'll call you later.

MEREDITH: If that's not

If we need to, we'll do it again.

You know there's a thing called AutoPay.

I made you another pie.
It's in the lounge

You know I have an office.
Okay. I just know how
difficult the budget can be.
And I really appreciate
all your support.
Every doctor deserves
to be adequately trained

- Mm.
Oh, have you seen the article
about Addison on the PRT?
Doesn't she look great?

- Mm.
Well, I mean, she kind

No, not Addison. The PRT!
She's a a mobile hero.
Wow. Have you seen these comments below?
What? Are they trolling the PRT?
I'm pretty sure they're trolling
the person behind the wheel.

So we'll see if we can change

Hi! Good morning, everyone!
Ah. So, I'm Dr. Miranda Bailey.
And I'm thrilled to
welcome you to Grey-Sloan
as our inaugural class
of out-of-state OB/GYN
reproductive healthcare
and advocacy fellows.
You have traveled from Idaho, Arkansas,
Texas, even Tennessee to be with us.
And I know you'd rather be
getting this clinical experience
in your own residency programs,
but we are honored to offer
this rotation in abortion care.
Because how else
are you going to learn, right?
You've all chosen
OB/GYN as your specialty,
and now your respective
states are restricting
how you practice that specialty.
But we are here to make sure you
get the education that you need.
I'm sorry. I'm Dr. Addison Montgomery.
[LAUGHS]
And I've been to some of your states.
I've seen the desperation.
I've seen the pain,
seen the heartbreak.
I've seen lives lost.
So, anyway, who's ready to get to work?
[LAUGHTER]
- Come with me. This is Dr. Jo Wilson.
- WOMAN: Hey.
How come we don't get to
work directly with Montgomery?
We did. We made sex-ed videos.
Yeah, that was before
she was a rock star.
Did you see the Chicago
Tribune story about her?
It's our hospital. It's not right.
Well, neither is having
to go to another state
to get fully trained in your specialty.
I'm just saying we are five feet away.
We could join them. [SIGHS]
LUCAS: Jessica Hall, 22.
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
Has been waiting for a
bilateral lung transplant
and is here today
[CELLPHONE CHIMES]
Uh
Uh, sorry. Um
- Why is she here?
- Right.
Uh, she's here today for
a single lung transplant
from a directed donor.
Are you sure she
shouldn't stay on the list,
hold out for two lungs
rather than the one?
She's been on the list for
two years without matching,
and her condition is worsening.
A single lung will help prevent her
from deteriorating into heart failure.
You're just mad RJ's the match.
My boyfriend offers to save
my life over a Sunday dinner,
and she answers by asking
if he's finally finished his degree.
We were both feminist-studies majors.
Men only major in that to meet women.
Go ahead.
Say it. I'm a

- Yeah. Mm-hmm.
And if he didn't major in
that, we would've never met,
and I wouldn't be getting a lung today.
Are you?
Where is he? Who's late for surgery?
Surgeons, actually. It
happens all the time.

Uh, maybe not that much.
Well, I'm sure he'll be here soon.
We're not gonna start without him.
Well, obviously.
Adams, let us know when he arrives.

OWEN: When did we
reorganize our triage orders?
And who categorized
our patients this way?
Yeah. That might have been me.
I was running the ER last week,
and they weren't quite right
according to how we do it
upstairs in cardio, so
Oh, did you check and
see if it was quite right
for us down here in
the trauma department?
Okay. Everyone, listen up.
Just in case there is any confusion,
I am back as Chief of Trauma.
Do you want to know what else is back?
The way I used to do things.
And I want to return to
our old triage protocols
and revert back to
my old filing systems.
Any questions, comments, concerns?
- Hey.
- Dr. Ndugu bought us lunch on Fridays.
Will that continue?
Huh! Well
I'd be happy to let Dr. Ndugu
continue to buy you
all lunch on Fridays.
JO: Okay. Let's get you into a bed.
And we can go over your medical history.
MARCUS: Chief Bailey.
Not Chief anymore, Marcus. Just Doctor.

You're in the right place.
And you're here for
a medical abortion?
H-How many weeks are you?
Oh. 34 and already very uncomfortable.
I don't want to think
about how 40 weeks feels.
Okay. Uh, well, you know,
medical abortions are
done in the first 10 weeks.
And even a surgical abortion
is, um, not gonna happen for you.
No. No, no, no.
Okay. It's for me.
I need the abortion. Six weeks.

Andra's my support system.
We're best friends. Born two days apart.
Our mamas met in Lamaze class.
Now we're both pregnant,
except I don't want to be.
So here we are.
I brought snacks and
movies and card games.
- So we're ready.

All right. We're just gonna
do a quick physical exam.

times in a row, it means pick up.
Sorry. Richard and I are trying
to fix a budget situation.
Well, help me with my situation first.
- Here. We have picketers.
- RICHARD: How many?
A lot, and it's my fault.

Well, give it a minute.
Maybe the system's being sluggish.
Or he is.
I'm sorry. I'm tired.
NICK: It's okay.
How are you?
Uh yeah.
I'm good. Good. Busy. Yeah.
I went to pick up
organs in San Francisco,
San Antonio, and Santa

No plans for a trip to Boston?
Well, you don't really
plan to pick up organs.
- You know what I mean.
- Yes, I do.
Have you spoken at all?
Um, I get a text message
about her getting lost
in the streets of Boston
about, uh about once a week.
Mm. Those are very complicated streets.
[BOTH CHUCKLE]
Yes.
- She's overwhelmed.
- Yeah.
If it helps at all,
I get all my updates from Zola.
I told her I loved her, and
she pretended not to hear me.
She's complicated.
Yeah.
You make her happy.

Okay. Let me know
if you need help. Okay.
And I want to let you know
how excellent these trainees are.
They should be.
They were picked
from more than 100 applicants.
You know, one of them wrote
that the one silver lining
of not being able
to get this training at home
is being able to learn from
the great Addison Montgomery.
Oh. Well, that's very kind.
No. It's true. You know it is.
You know, we could
run trainings every month
if you want to come back.
I don't know.
No. Okay. I know that
you're busy with the clinic
and and the travel
from Illinois to L.A.

Altman, you're supposed to read them
when you're not in a crisis.
- When is that exactly?
- Is Kwan okay?
He's bleeding,
but he seems to be doing okay.
What do the manuals say about
a large-scale protest at the clinic?
Nothing.
They were written before
Bailey took over the clinic

Court ruled on Dobbs.

Just the idea that I could've
endangered the one person

hope in these last few weeks
makes me sick.
But for the first time in months,
today I woke up proud,
because I was joining the fight.
We shouldn't have to hide who we are

I will as soon as I figure out
where this blood's coming from.
Are you gonna do a lower lobe resection?
If we do that, then RJ can't be a donor.
But that's not the
priority. He's bleeding out.
All right. Okay. What
What if I use a hilar clamp
to temporarily stop the bleeding
and do a wedge resection?
It will preserve more lung tissue
and could allow him to donate
the other lung at a later time.
If you shut off the
circulation from one lung,
- won't his pressure tank?
- Only for a few minutes.
A few minutes could cost him his life.
Or I could repair the lung by then.

Okay, Griffith, get ready with suction.
And, Millin, take over retraction, okay?
All right. Clamp.

Do you want me to do it?
No. I got it.

Elena Bailey, because
When I was, uh, 7, I went with
my mom to the grocery store,
and, uh, we got in line
behind a young woman
and [CHUCKLES] her fussy baby.
Um, for whatever reason,
the woman didn't have
enough money to pay her bill,
so my mom did.
And later, I asked my
mom, "Do you know her?"
And she said, "I know her enough
to know that she's struggling.
And when we can help someone
else going through a tough time,
we should."
These are tough times.

Right.
Okay. So
we were supposed
to do a-a directed donation today.
Our patient fasted. Our donor fasted.
We were prepped and ready.
It was a transplant
surgeon's dream scenario.
And then RJ gets hit by a car.
And in a brutal coincidence,
that accident injures
the very organ we need.
Yeah. Is this story supposed
to be about me somehow?
I'm saying the things you worry about
are almost never the
things that really go wrong.
And the things that do go wrong
