Grey's Anatomy s21e17 Episode Script

1
MEREDITH: In the early days of medicine,
when most diseases were untreatable,
what patients wanted to know
was how long they had left.
Are you offended that I'm
working on our wedding day?
No. I'd be jealous if Levi
wasn't coming to marry us.
That sounds weird.
"Officiate the wedding."
We're gonna hang here and get ready.
I can't believe how many
of our friends and family
are showing up on four days' notice.
Your family. I don't have any family.
And your mom hates me.
Doesn't matter. It's not for her.
- We're getting married.
- We're getting married. Mmm!
We're getting married! [LAUGHS]
Okay. Bye, guys. I will
see you at our wedding.
- LUNA: Bye, Daddy.
- SCOUT: Bye, Daddy!
Wait. You think your mom hates me?
People believed the best
doctors weren't the ones
who could help you buy more time,
but the ones who made the
most accurate prognosis.
I'm happy for Wilson and Lincoln,
but people need more notice.
They think we have closets
full of formal wear?
W-We work in pajamas.
[LAUGHS] Hey. Oh.
Oh. Looks like the vacation's over.
Do they look to be in good spirits?
They seem tan.
Altman's wearing her ring, so
Look. This is none of our business.
Look. She has my career in
her hands. I need to know if
- Hey. Welcome back.
- Hey!
How was the trip?
- Ohh.
- Oh, Hawaii was beautiful.
Yeah, but it's good to be home.
Now that we have more
tricks up our sleeves,
we're less interested
in calculating the odds
and more concerned with beating them.
TARYN: Whoever has
been raiding the snacks
in the senior residents' lounge,
you are interns for three more days.
- Hands off. Stay out.
- They have caramel rice cakes.
Uh, Griffith, you and
Adams are on neuro.
Millin, you're with Webber.
Again? Are you sure
that doesn't say cardio?
Kwan with Ndugu.
Have fun reducing scrotal hernias.
[CHUCKLES]
Ooh-ooh, it's the
way that you move me ♪
Did you go home at all last night?
No. I stayed in case
Dylan needed anything.
- How is she?
- The same.
I brought my dress for
the wedding, but if you
Let's see how the day goes.
Just because we don't spend as much time
predicting the end doesn't
mean it's not coming.
Hey. thanks for holding down the fort.
- Everything go okay?
- Uh, yeah. Pretty uneventful.
Except, uh, Nora Young is
back. Her graft's infected.
Oh. Did you put her on Vanc and Zosyn?
Yes, and I'm waiting
on her blood cultures
and repeat CT from this morning,
but it's only gotten worse.
Page me when you get the results,
- and we'll put our heads together.
- Alright. You got it.
Hey, uh, are you sure you
shouldn't let Ndugu handle this?
I don't love the fact
that you slept with her,
but after the last two weeks,
the therapy, the talking, the sex
as far as I'm concerned,
she's just another patient.
Okay.
LUCAS: Okay, Dylan, we're
about to scan your brain,
just like yesterday and
the day before, alright?
Can she have the headphones again?
Yeah. You want some music?
Uh, blink once for yes and twice for no.
- Okay. Music.
- Are you scared, bunny?
Hey. Do you want to do our dance?
LUCAS: Okay.
♪
[CHUCKLES]
Alright, we're about to start the scan,
so I'll come get you when it's all over.
Okay. I'll be right outside.
Alright. Get ready to scan.
♪
SIMONE: Do you think
she'll ever recover?
AMELIA: No idea.
All I know is that four days ago
I operated on a brave and
happy Expedition Scout,
and now she is terrified
and can only communicate
by blinking her eyes.
You don't wish locked-in
syndrome on your worst enemy.

- [GASPS] Aah!
Your Uncle Levi is here!
JO: I'm so happy
to see you
Maureen!
Hi! Uh, Link's not here.
I am not here for my son. Oh.
This wedding was pulled
together so quickly,
I figured that there was no way
you could possibly have time to prepare.
No one did.
So I thought, how can I help?
I am here to do your makeup.
Ohh! That's I That
You really don't have to.
We didn't get to pick a
dress or a cake or flowers.
But I put myself through college
working makeup counters.
And this we can do.
- Yay
- [GIGGLES]
MAUREEN: Hi! Grammy's here!
Deb. I'm Dr. Webber. This is Dr. Millin.
- Hi.
- Um, are you her
- I'm just Steve.
- It's our first date.
We were having coffee,
and I started having
sharp pain in my arm.
Y-Your arm? I-I thought it was
My mom died of a heart attack.
- Oh. I'm sorry.
- Thanks.
- It was four years ago. Very sudden.
- Well, it's good you came in.
Yeah. We're general surgeons.
Triage must have gotten
their wires crossed.
- [CHUCKLES]
- Are you having any chest pain?
I can page cardio.
I left my phone in the waiting area.
- Would you mind?
- Yeah. Of course.
I-I'll be right back.
My arm is fine. I have diarrhea.
An insane amount of
diarrhea and cramping.
I threw up twice during our date.
Steve can never know.
- How long has this been going on?
- Five days.
I've been on antibiotics for a
UTI, so I thought it was that,
- but now it's way worse.
- Millin, next steps?
Uh, labs. Stool cultures.
And, uh, if you would
r-raise your arm for me.
- I, uh I didn't see your phone.
- Huh. Weird. [CHUCKLES]
Um, well, while she waits for cardio,
let's take an X-ray of the arm.
Mm-hmm.
Excuse me.
NORA: They're taking good care of me.
Oh, Mom, I have to go. I love you. Bye.
Was wondering how long
you could avoid seeing me.
No, no. I wasn't Teddy and I, we
I'm kidding.
They told me you were on vacation.
Sorry I haven't reached out more.
Oh, and it's fine.
We had a lovely night,
and you were a perfect
gentleman when it had to end.
Does Teddy know?
Yeah. She knows.
She's She's okay with it.
Was that your mom?
Where is she these days?
Arizona. She's a nervous wreck.
But I keep telling her that the doctors,
they're gonna figure it out.
They always do.
Listen, I know you have
to be brave for your mom,
but you don't have to act brave for me.
You can be scared.
No, I can't.
The second I let myself
be scared, then it's over.
And it can't be over.
I have to be here for my kids.
♪
Help me to stay strong.
Promise me.
I promise.
- How's it looking?
- Not good.
Nora's blood cultures
are growing fungus.
And the follow-up CT is showing
a new aortoenteric fistula.
We have to remove the
source of infection.
- The graft has to come out.
- She's too unstable.
Once we remove the graft,
the fistula could cause
a massive hemorrhage.
What about an extra-anatomical bypass?
Like an ax-fem?
We can't put in another
graft. She's septic.
But if we divert the
blood flow from her aorta,
she might be able to recover enough
that we could remove the infected graft.
A-And if she doesn't?
Then we have the hard conversation.
BLUE: I know my opinion
matters the least,
but we owe it to Nora to try.
If we fight, she'll fight.
We have no other choice.
This is it.

Okay. I'm in. Let's fight.

- What happened to your face?
Link's mom's doing my makeup!
- Does she hate you?
- [SIGHS]
- [PHONE BUZZES]
- Ohh! Ann Richards got a bath!
Who?
The Labradoodle James and I adopted.
I told you about this
like two weeks ago.
She was named after the
former Governor of Texas.
Why?
Well, because she is Ann Richards.
Outspoken. Wry. Feminist.
Help me! I look like 1983 Boy George!
Okay. Don't worry about it.
I'm great with moms.
Oh. You must be Levi. I almost forgot.
- I brought you something, Jo.
- Hm. That's sweet.
I wore it at my wedding,
and my mom wore it at hers.
And now it's your turn.
♪
What do the scans show?
Please say something changed.
AMELIA: There is nothing new.
You said her brain might absorb
the bleeding in a few
days, and it's been four.
The steroids that you guys
gave her, they didn't help?
It takes time for swelling
in the brain to come down.
Can you do something
besides say, "Wait and see"?
- Jenna. Jenna, don't.
- AMELIA: I know that it is frustrating,
but we need the hematoma
to stabilize and resolve on its own.
Operating now could
do more harm than good.
She doesn't even like staying in a tent.
She'll start with her
sleeping bag in there,
and by morning, she's pulled it outside.
Now look at her.
LUCAS: We all want the same
thing for Dylan. I promise.
We just have to be patient
for a few more days.
Then Dr. Shepherd can
go in there and fix this.
It'll be over.
Okay.
♪
[SOBS]
You want us on neuro
checks every two hours?
I don't know.
- Did did I do something wrong?
- You told those parents
that if they waited three days,
everything would be fine.
Yeah, the mom was freaking out.
You raised their hopes
because it's easier
than saying the truth, which
is there is a strong chance
I can't reverse Dylan's paralysis.
You need to keep it real,
and if you can't do that,
take yourself off this case, or I will.

WOMAN ON P.A.: Dr. Andham to OR 2.
Dr. Doug Andham to OR 2.
Guess who's scrubbin' in on
an ax-fem with Ndugu today.
- Is that
- Hot diarrhea? Yes, it is.
Could you take this for
me, please? Thank you.
Well, have fun with whatever that is.
Yeah, well, don't screw up your bypass.
Well, feces crossed
I mean fingers.
- Oh. Where's Steve?
- In his car.
Looking for my phone.
- How'd you two meet?
- On an app.
I went through a tough breakup
last year, but it's been fun.
You forget what it's like the first time
you meet someone and feel butterflies.
Although, in this
case, I wish butterflies
were all I was feeling.
What do you see?
JULES: Oh, my God.
I can't find the borders
of the transverse colon.
DEB: Um i-is everything okay?
Deb, um
Your condition is what's
called a toxic megacolon.
Basically, your colon is
severely dilated and inflamed.
We're gonna admit you, run
some tests, and start you
on an aggressive antibiotic treatment.
Dr. Millin, can you put
in the orders, please?
Yeah. Unreal.
- Millin lose the smile.
- Oh.
You're pretty calm for a man
about to tie the ultimate surgical knot.
[CHUCKLES]
Well, things came together pretty well.
It helps that we're keeping it small.
Yeah, but it's still a lot of work.
The decorations, the
invitations, the cake.
Wait. There will be cake?
The decorations are simple,
the e-invites made things easy,
and Helm offered to bake a cake.
Oh. Sounds like it's under control.
Yeah, I just gotta shave
and write some vows.
You haven't written your vows?
We've known each other forever.
They practically write themselves.
I could probably wing it if I had to.
Wing it?! What
Would you wing surgery?
No, everyone's gonna be looking at you!
Jo will be looking at you!
Oh, it should be
meaningful and romantic
and memorable epic!
This could be the most important
speech you will ever give.
But you do you.
- GIRL: I miss you, Mommy.
- Mommy loves you so much.
See you in a couple days.
[LINE DISCONNECTS]
I stole extra blankets.
Just keep it between us.
The nurses get intense
about blanket allotment.
Did I just scar my kids for life?
They're on vacation with their dad.
I'm sure they're too
hopped up on sugar to notice
you're in a hospital bed.
- [TEDDY CLEARS THROAT]
- Dr. Altman. It's good to see you.
TEDDY: I wish it were under
different circumstances,
but unfortunately,
your infection is getting worse,
and now you have another fistula.
You fixed the last one.
This one is more complicated,
but we do have an idea.
Yeah, we want to create
a new arterial path
from your arm to your leg
to divert blood away from the aorta.
BEN: This should slow
the spread of infection
and allow us to remove the
graft while the aorta rests.
There are no guarantees,
but it is the best chance that we have.
Maybe the only chance.
♪
Then that's what I want to do.
Okay. Kwan, Warren, book an O.R.
Extra blankets?
The nurses must really like you.

It's okay. I am going to
take excellent care of you
like I would any other patient.

SIMONE: Just did a neuro
check on Dylan. No change.
Can we talk?
- What are you doing?
- Research.
Locked-in syndrome.
- You know, Shepherd said
- I know what she said.
She's under a lot of pressure.
You're just an easy target.
You're siding with her now?
You were the one who didn't
want her to operate on Dylan.
Growing up, I heard
every euphemism for
what happened to my mom
gone, past, departed.
She was dead. I wanted it acknowledged.
I am sorry that that happened to you.
But Dylan is still alive.
Yes, but we need to be
realistic with the par
You want to keep it real?
Those two parents
haven't slept or eaten in four days
because they're watching
their daughter suffer.
Dylan is scared and alone.
I am not letting her think
we're giving up on her.
Where are you going?
Somewhere I don't have to explain
why I want to save my patient.

MAUREEN: I messed up.
This one is crooked.
Oh, no one will notice.
They'll be too busy

That's right. I forgot that guests
will be making their own party favors.

at a last-minute wedding.

- Oh. [LAUGHS]
- [GASPS] Is that a Labradoodle?
- Ann Richards.
Like the former Governor of Texas
who championed women's health?
- Yes!
- [GASPS]
She appointed more openly
gay people to office
than any other governor before her.
She wasn't perfect,
but Texas hasn't been
the easiest transition
for me and my boyfriend,
so it's always nice to
be reminded of the allies.
- How lovely. Aww. She is just so cute.
- What is happ

Oh, um help her, honey.
Mmm!
Okay. [SIGHS]
That's nice.
You're supposed to
help me get out of this,
not make a new bestie!
Hey. No violence on your wedding day.
Plus, I think Maureen
is pretty reasonable.
You should just tell her you don't
want to wear the makeup or the veil.
I think she'll understand.
Or you can look like
this at your wedding.
LEVI: Hmm.
Damn it!
Hey. I can assign you an
intern if it's post-op notes.
I wish. I'm great at those.
It's these vows.
Oh! Well, let me see
what you've got so far.
"Dearly beloved, we are
gathered here today"
Are you officiating your own wedding?
I don't know what to say.
What happened to "it writes itself"?
- You got into my head.
- O-Okay. Try this. Um
Since you're great at post-op notes,
um, think of the vows as those.
Just walk through the
relationship step-by-step
and just keep it simple.
You want me to express my love for Jo
like post-op notes?
You got a better idea, Shakespeare?
- I'll give it a try.

Why do you look like Ghostbusters?
Um your labs came back.
You have a very contagious
bacterial infection called C. diff.
How can I have an infection
if I'm on antibiotics?
The antibiotics that
you were on for the UTI
killed all of the good
bacteria in your gut,
making you more susceptible
to bad bacteria like C. diff.
We'll get you started on
a triple antibiotic and

to go far. Did you guys know
that there is a ice
machine by the bathroom?

a death trap for kids

she was commenting on my nutrition

getting enough sleep.

- No "aww"!
Nothing is "aww"!
Jo, you know who passive-aggressively
questions life choices?
Moms. She's just being a mom.

Sometimes that's how they show love.
