Grey's Anatomy s22e09 Episode Script

["REAL LIFE = NO FUN" PLAYING]
[GREY] When it comes to surgery,
the adage "It's better to ask
for forgiveness than permission"
doesn't apply.
- Trim me up and make me a new man.
- [BARBER] All right, man.
[SIGHS]
Big day for you at the hospital?
You might say that.
[GREY] We must obtain informed consent
from our patients before any procedure.
[GRIFFITH] It's roommate code.
If Mohanty comes
over, I get a heads-up.
Okay, no, roommate code is
paying your bills on time
and doing your own dishes.
- Adams will back me up.
- I live with my aunt.
Your life makes me sad.
Hey. I thought you had a thing
against chocolate for breakfast.
I do, but Sally doesn't.
She also likes sports bars,
'90s grunge cover bands,
and small-batch bourbon.
[CHUCKLES] Things still
going well for her and Rob?
They're going well enough
that she's not thinking about a certain
attending and what he's doing, or who.
- Love that for Sally.
- Love that for Sally.
Do you know who Sally is?
No. She sounds like a good time.
[GREY] It's not just a way to cover
our asses if something goes wrong.
We want you to understand the care
you'll receive and the risks involved.
You still stuck on the
hormone correlation?
I can't figure out how to
replicate a good data set.
Well, you could remove
ovaries from the female mice
to see if lack of estrogen
affects the equation.
- Or I could castrate the male mice.
- Or you could do that.
That works also.
I need a break. Can I help you?
Yeah, you can cut carrots for the salad.
Okay.
You really went all out.
I am giving her the
benefit of the doubt.
Eight years is a long time to
go without speaking to someone.
In my defense, a lot of that
time she was drunk or high,
but Charlotte says
she's doing really well.
Says she's sober and that she
has a new project or something.
You're excited to see her.
I am. Yeah, we used to be really
close, especially after we lost our mom.
When she's not detonating her
life, she's actually really funny.
She's a lot more fun than I am.
- [BOTH CHUCKLE]
- Well, I can't wait to meet her.
- [DOORBELL RINGS]
- Looks like you won't have to.
- [MUSIC ENDS ♪]
- Hey, big brother.
- [STAMMERS] Erica, who's this?
- This is Miles.
- [BABY BABBLING]
- My son.
- Come in.
- Hi.
[GREY] We want you to know exactly
what you're getting yourself into.
- Everyone's fired.
- She doesn't mean it.
You are a VIP.
You should be in a private room.
- This place looks like a cattle pen.
- I'm fine.
I-I told that nurse to put
that IV in your right arm.
Does anybody talk to
anybody around here?
- Michael, can I have a word?
- [PERSON CHUCKLES]
- I'm sorry, my wife, she's
- A woman who knows what she wants.
That's one way to put it.
- What kind of doctor is she?
- A urologist.
- Mm
- I'm having surgery for
prostate cancer. She's antsy.
Understandable.
- Curtis James.
- Oh, Richard Webber.
[AVERY] You people need to communicate.
I've got prostate cancer too. Stage IV.
It spread to my spine,
so they're putting
a catheter in to help with the pain.
I hope it makes you comfortable.
I just want to spend as much
quality time with my kids as I can.
[AVERY] I said, "Get
him a private room."
No, no.
I see Catherine's having a word
with Nurse Michael. How are you?
- Doing a lot better than Nurse Michael.
- Good.
So, I kept my schedule light
in case you need anything.
Oh, good. I need you to occupy my wife.
She's making the staff nervous.
I don't need that today.
How about I round on your
patients or anything else?
She's replaced three of
my nurses in half an hour.
[BAILEY SIGHS]
Give me that. You all need
a better system for this.
I'll do my best.
[AVERY] Are you telling me
that you can't find the chief
of this hospital a private room?
Good luck, Richard.
[AVERY] Listen, I'm
telling you it's okay.
Give the man a VIP room now.
[GREY] We can put the baby right here.
I don't wanna ruin your furniture.
No. It's okay. I have three kids
who have already taken care of that.
I'm barely managing the one.
- I can take your coat.
- Actually, you have two.
Charlotte's an adult.
It's a little different.
Oh, thank God he slept
- almost the whole drive here.
- You drove from Madison?
You think I'm gonna
fly with a six-week-old?
I didn't think anything. I
didn't know there was a baby.
Yeah, well, I thought
I would surprise you.
Slash, I didn't want you to pass
judgment on Miles before you met him.
Well, I'm not judging him.
Does the baby need anything else?
No, thank you. There's
a pacifier. I'll find it.
- Okay.
- Thank you.
- Who's the father?
- You gonna beat him up after gym class?
I'm just asking who the
father is. Who's the father?
His name's Ken. We dated a little
over a year, then we broke up.
I broke it off. It was my decision.
Oh, okay. Well, as long
as it was your decision.
Is everybody hungry? Lunch is ready.
- Thank you so much.
- Okay.
If he needs a vascular procedure,
he's mine. You've had easily 20.
Sally has done
Uh, we were paged for a consult?
Uh, Mitch Lau, I'm Dr. Millin.
This is Dr. Adams.
We hear that you're experiencing
tingling and weakness in your left arm?
Uh, and some occasional sharp pain.
I teach tennis lessons, so
I get weird shoulder stuff.
Mind if we examine you?
Have you experienced
anything like this before?
No, but it said online that left arm
tingling is a sign of a heart attack?
Tell me I'm being paranoid.
It's better to be safe, and
we will get you checked out.
Right.
Sorry if this is a little
uncomfortable, Dr. Webber.
Do whatever you have to do.
I mean, you're in charge. I trust you.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS]
- You ready, sir?
- I'm ready. I know the drill.
[RHYTHMIC BEEPING CONTINUES]
Ten,
nine,

[BEEPING STOPS]
[BEEPING CONTINUES]
Curtis?
- What are you doing here?
- Be straight with me.
How much longer do I have?
- It's hard to say.
- [LOUD BEEPING]
But you're not dying today.
Look, I've got you.
Someone get me a defibrillator.
- [VOICE] You can't save him.
- [RAPID BEEPING]
Dad?
[WEBBER] I need a hand here.
[WEBBER'S DAD]
I told you there's nothing you can do.
Look, I'm a doctor. I'm
not gonna let him just
Look, he has a family.
Let's charge to 200.
[RAPID BEEPING]
Make me a new man, will you?
You're not getting a trim now.
This man is dying.
- He's already gone.
- That's not true. Look, his BP's
Those monitors don't know anything.
You don't know what
you're talking about.
[WEBBER'S DAD] Look, he's
got metastases in his spine,
his lymph nodes, his bladder.
They're gonna find it in his bones next.
He's been through chemotherapy,
hormone therapy, surgery.
He can't walk without debilitating pain,
which is why he's getting
the intrathecal pump.
But we all know that's
just palliative care.
There are people who have
survived stage IV prostate cancer.
- He just needs one of epi.
- Not enough, not him.
And not me.
[STEADY BEEP]
[MILLIN] Squeeze my hands.
Should I tell my boss I'm not
gonna make the lunch shift?
I didn't know tennis had a lunch shift.
Flex your elbows.
I'm also a server at Fisherman's Lure.
The lunch crowds tip really well.
Business lunches. Lots of people
with corporate credit cards.
You waited tables too?
No, I have a brother who
stole a corporate credit card.
He was a generous tipper, at least.
They help a lot. I'm
a rideshare driver too.
Just trying to get by
since I got laid off.
- I'm sorry.
- Yeah.
I grew up here during the tech boom
when every kid thought
learning to write code
was a ticket to a house on Mercer Island
and a holiday company party with Sting.
Well, we all have dreams.
I started coding in middle school,
eventually got a degree in
computer science, with honors.
Then AI happened. I trained
a computer to take my job.
All right, we're ready
for the chest X-ray.
[BEEPING]
[ADAMS] He's got an opacity
behind his collarbone.
If it's a mass pressing on his
brachial plexus or subclavian vein,
that might explain the
tingling in his arm.
I'll call radiology
and page cardiothoracic.
Sorry, what's happening?
Not sure yet. We want to get
a CT scan to find out more.
You might wanna call your boss.
[MITCH SIGHS]
Well, there go my tips.
Last year we rebuilt the residency
program and restored its reputation.
It's time to level up.
This year I want to integrate
VR into our skills lab,
and I want to expand
the wellness program
with a meditation area
and more team building.
Sounds good.
And to kick things off,
we'll take the residents
on an all-expenses-paid
retreat on the French Riviera.
- Mm-hmm?
- [SIGHS]
I'm sorry, did you say something?
I know that you are worried
about Richard's surgery,
but you can trust his team.
Miranda, please. I know
Richard is in great hands.
- Okay.
- Read line 45, page two.
Uh, Richard's estate plan
this seems private.
He was updating it this morning.
He has a burial plot at Lakeshore.
- Well, that's a nice cemetery.
- Next to Adele Webber.
Oh! So that's what you're upset about?
The man wants to be buried
next to his dead ex-wife.
- Well, technically, she's not an ex.
- I'm his wife now.
Well, what does it matter?
You're all dead.
Are you and Warren planning to
be buried next to each other?
No, actually, I'm
planning to be cremated.
I am going to sit in
my children's homes,
so they have to look at me
before doing anything stupid.
Not me. I wanna be laid in the ground,
next to the man I pledged my life to.
Well, you are Catherine Fox.
If you feel so strongly, do something.
- You're right.
- Yeah.
He wants to be buried next to Adele,
I'll just buy the damn
plot on the other side. Mmm.
Hello, Lakeshore.
You'll need more tests to be sure,
but it looks like you have a
benign brachial plexus schwannoma.
The only word I understood was "benign."
Uh, Dr. Kwan.
Schwannomas are tumors that
develop within the nerves.
So, in your case, you have a
large tumor in the brachial plexus
that is affecting your arm.
Yeah, that's why you feel
occasional pain and tingling.
This could really mess
up my ability to serve.
He teaches tennis lessons.
I was thinking about at the restaurant.
- He has a couple of jobs.
- What do I do about it?
[NDUGU] You'll wanna have
it surgically removed.
Our cardiothoracic
department will submit
a prior authorization
request for your insurance,
and once they approve it,
we can schedule surgery.
Schwannomas grow slowly, but
eventually, it will destroy the nerve.
You don't wanna ignore it.
Don't think I could if I wanted to.
Well, it was good to meet you, Mitch.
How long does this prior
authorization thing usually take?
Well, I'm not an expert,
but maybe a month,
and then another two
months to schedule surgery.
I'm not sure I can work
much longer like this.
Yeah, some patients
apply for disability.
Is that enough to pay rent? I don't
wanna move back with my parents.
You can push your insurance company
to fast-track the authorization,
and we can submit a
peer-to-peer review for them.
I have a better shot
at winning Wimbledon
than getting past their
automated phone system.
I wish there was more we could do.
Yeah, the guy who laid me
off said the same thing.
We'll, uh, go get your paperwork.
Okay. Okay.
[ERICA MOANS, CHEWS]
It is so nice to eat a homemade
meal after two days of fast food.
- Well, there's more if you want it.
- Are you sober?
- Nick.
- No, it's okay.
- Surprised you didn't ask sooner.
- Is that a no?
Two years and change.
I go to AA meetings every week,
and you will be happy to
know I am gainfully employed.
Really?
Where do you work?
I am an office manager
at a law firm downtown.
So, yeah. Although, I'm on
maternity leave right now,
but they've been really,
really good to me.
I just You know, I wanted a
chance to be a mom and to do it right.
Uh, but Miles is such a good baby.
Ugh. During the day.
At night, it's a whole
different story. [CHUCKLES]
You know, when my youngest was a baby,
I used to just have
to put her in the car
and drive around the
neighborhood for hours.
That's the only way he'll
go to sleep. [CHUCKLES]
- How old are your kids?
- [BABY CRIES ON SPEAKER]
That's my cue.
Let me get him. It's not
every day I get to hold a baby.
[ERICA CLEARS THROAT]
She's great.
This place is, like, just gorgeous.
Hey, listen, we're not
done talking about you.
Baby, job, sobriety.
Those [CHUCKLES]
Those are the headlines.
- Do you not believe me?
- Do you not see why I wouldn't?
The last time I saw you, you
told me to get my act together,
and so I did.
So now, for the first
time in my entire life,
I have a job with benefits.
I already picked out a day care.
I got my act together.
How can you not see the difference?
Because we have been here before.
That's why.
- All right.
- Where are you going?
To the bathroom. You wanna
lock up your medicine cabinet?
I already did.
[ERICA CHUCKLES]
Hey, you know, our patients are
typically inside the hospital.
I'm writing a letter
for Mitch's insurance.
Well, don't use AI. It's what
got him into this awful situation.
Speak to a representative.
Representative.
Representative!
What happened to human contact?
You know, I'm surprised you
wouldn't rather talk to robots.
There were a lot of times when
my parents couldn't make rent
or pay for food or bus passes,
and the only reason we got by is because
people went out of
their way to help us.
Robots don't care.
I thought you got by 'cause your
parents were low-key hustlers.
That, too.
His pain will be ten times worse
by the time he gets approved,
if he gets approved.
Yeah, and the irony is that
by then it could be emergent
and the insurance would
have to cover it anyway.
I have an idea on how we can help him.
One of your parents' schemes?
No, this one's inspired
by my friend Sally.
- [MITCH] No, please don't transfer me.
- [MILLIN] Uh, Mitch.
They've got me on a 30-second
loop of Vivaldi's "Four Seasons."
Play the whole damn
thing, why don't you?
Are you sure about this?
Why wouldn't I be?
'Cause you could wait and
discuss this with Richard.
Miranda, burial plots
are like prostates.
Once they're gone, they're gone.
Can't say I ever thought of it that way.
I can always sell it
if I change my mind.
Property with a lake view
is always a good investment.
I just don't want your plans for death
to get in the way of you
being there for Richard now.
I have no trouble multitasking, dear.
I just think that you might want
to make this decision with Richard
rather than while he's under anesthesia.
Hello. Yes, Lakeshore, I am still here.
One moment. Miranda. Go, go, go, go.
Come on, honey.
That man owes me.
Yes, this is Catherine Fox.
Have a seat.
Get a trim.
And fill me in on your life.
A man just died there.
Suit yourself.
Are we really not gonna talk about it?
Dwelling on unpleasantries
won't bring him back.
- I meant you.
- It won't bring me back either.
I've got it now.
That's why I'm here.
If you're hoping for some
father-son bonding over this,
that's not happening.
I wanted to know your experience.
- You never said much.
- Because it's a private matter.
We're family, and family
shouldn't have to suffer alone.
I wasn't suffering. I was stoic.
That's how Webber men do it.
Yeah, I remember how you snapped at me
for not holding it
together at Mom's funeral.
- Was there a problem with that?
- I was ten.
I had feelings. I
wanted you to talk to me.
Now you want to dredge up the past.
All right, all right.
Let's talk about how you
how you used to do that
that Johnson boy's math homework so
he wouldn't beat you up after school.
Or when you tried to kiss Mary
Hodge at the junior high dance.
But she turned and you ended up with
your lips pressed against her shoulder.
How do you know all these things?
- This is your dream, man. It's all you.
- [MELANCHOLY MUSIC PLAYS]
Still wanna talk about this?
- Can you clean me up?
- Yeah, that's more like it.
Now, tell me. What have I missed?
I have a daughter.
Her name is Margaret. Or Maggie.
- She's brilliant.
- Mmm.
[WHISPERING]
So, it looks like a lipoma.
Yeah, we should probably
get a CT scan of this.
Here we go.
Uh, hey, excuse me, I need help.
I have a tumor in my upper chest,
and I started having acute onset
severe pain and weakness in my arm.
Oh, I can help you, Mister
Lau. Mitch Lau. I was here this
morning. I-I should be in the system.
Yeah. Follow me.
- Okay.
- And when did your pain get worse?
- It's onset, so Uh
- [MILLIN WHISPERING] What do we do?
She couldn't even get through
lunch without blowing up.
Yeah, but you jumped
on her about the baby.
Because I didn't know there was a baby.
She always used to do
this when we were kids.
- Have secret babies?
- No. Bury the lede.
She could never just say,
"Hey, I lost your jacket,"
or, "I got a parking
ticket with your car,"
or, "I'm dating the guy you hate
on the swim team." I know, dude.
Then you'd find out
and she'd act like you were the idiot
for thinking she should've told you.
Would you have been any less mad?
I don't know. I never got
the chance to find out.
What did she think
was gonna happen here?
Maybe that you'd fall in love with
him and support her as a new mom.
You were genuinely excited
about her visit this morning.
Maybe let's not jump to conclusions.
People can start over. Amelia did.
Erica is not Amelia.
- [STAMMERS]
- [DOOR CLOSES]
What was that?
- [CAR ENGINE RUMBLES]
- Hang in there, bud.
Her car is gone.
[ANNOUNCER] Dr. Dhaliwal to Oncology
Great. Now I'll come around.
Okay, one more time for me.
Okay. [INHALES SHARPLY]
You know, I'm so sorry.
- I'll be right back.
- Mm-hmm.
- I'm examining a patient.
- We know. We saw him this morning.
We think Beckman should do the consult.
Ndugu already saw him.
Which is why we think it would be good
to have a second
opinion, like Beckman's.
Stop being weird.
Ndugu submitted Mitch's case
to his insurance for approval,
but that takes time.
Mitch doesn't have time.
- So he's faking it?
- No.
The arm pain is real.
He has a large schwannoma
in his brachial plexus.
He was laid off and he's
doing a bunch of jobs
that require the use of his arm.
If he doesn't work, he doesn't get paid.
So you told him to fudge his symptoms.
- Who came up with this plan?
- Her.
Sally. Can you just play along, please?
I don't think I can. I'm a terrible
liar, and I think it's too late.
You called for a consult?
Wasn't this guy here already today?
Yeah, he's got a benign
brachial plexus schwannoma.
Yes, he came back with
acute onset severe pain.
- I think his tumor might have ruptured.
- Okay, I'll take a look.
Um, I'm sorry.
Nice to see you guys again.
She is a really terrible liar.
Well, just smile and nod.
Just smile and nod.
I don't know where you are, I
don't know what you're doing,
but you need to get back here right now.
[SIGHS] Oh, God.
I can't believe this is happening again.
Every time. Every time.
I want her to be okay so badly,
I ignore all of the red flags.
Well, she's only been
gone a few minutes.
- Yeah, but this is how it starts.
- Should we go look for her?
Honestly, I wouldn't
even know where to begin.
Well, when Amelia's feeling
anxious, she goes to a meeting.
Yeah, or we could just go to
every bar in a ten-mile radius.
I'm just trying to help.
Well, you're not. You don't know her.
- Now where are you going?
- Gonna go get more diapers and formula.
There's diapers and formula in the bag.
Guessing it won't be enough.
- [LAUGHS] She sounds like a spitfire.
- Oh, she is.
She has our hands and
Mom's stubborn streak.
Yeah, I believe you
also got that streak.
[DISTANT RHYTHMIC BEEPING]
And she's pregnant.
- It's a boy.
- Ah. Another Webber man.
- Well, actually, he's a Pierce.
- Nah, he's got our genes.
Congratulations, Grandpa.
[WEBBER SIGHS]
- This is nice.
- I told you.
[BEEPING CONTINUES]
No. Maggie needs to know this.
[BEEPING GROWS LOUDER]
What? Can you repeat that?
Uh, she should know
about our family history
in case her son has a higher
risk of prostate cancer.
What?
- You know, I'm gonna unplug this thing.
- [LOUD BEEPING]
I don't understand. This
noise, it doesn't bother you?
You're too sensitive. Relax.
Come on now. Sit down.
Close your eyes.
[RHYTHMIC BEEPING]
- [PIERCING BEEP]
- Ah, it's getting worse.
[HEARTBEAT THUMPING]
It doesn't go away.
But, eventually, you'll stop hearing it.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS ♪]
So what do you what do you think?
Well, all signs point to a possible
intratumoral bleed, except one.
Kwan?
The CT we did earlier that
didn't show any bleeding?
Bingo. Do you think there's a chance
that he's exaggerating his pain?
I don't think so.
I mean, I guess it's possible.
Can't symptoms escalate pretty
quickly if a tumor suddenly bleeds?
They could, yeah.
Okay, do we really wanna
question his pain level?
Okay. Book an OR and
I'll meet you there.
- Yeah.
- It's a good call,
'cause even a benign tumor can
be dangerous if it expands rapidly
- or if there's sudden internal
- Cut the crap.
I know what you're doing.
Adams and Millin, too.
His tumor could destroy
the brachial plexus.
He could lose
function of his arm.
I am already in hot water with Bailey
for going rogue this year, okay?
I cannot be a part of this, and
you better be smarter about it too.
I won't save your asses twice.
Had to go to two different stores
to find the right size diapers.
I got formula, glass bottles, wipes.
- How is he? How's Miles?
- He's fine.
Okay. Mer, I'm sorry. I just
I just I had to get out.
I had to wrap my head
around her abandoning ship.
Well, that seems to run in the family.
Can you not do that?
Can you not equate us?
I told you I was going to the store.
Meanwhile, she's a human tornado
that swoops in and destroys my life.
- Not if you don't let her.
- You think I can control what she does?
I think you can control
the way you react to her.
She's a new mother and
she's probably exhausted.
And your life looks pretty intact to me.
So why don't you just take a
beat and not rush to assumptions?
Yes, sure, but you
have to understand, Mer.
Before she left me with Charlotte,
I was gaining respect as an
attending at a prestigious hospital.
I just put an offer on a house.
I bought a ring.
You've never mentioned
that you were engaged.
I wasn't engaged. She left
before I had a chance to propose.
Becoming a parent to a ten-year-old
wasn't part of Ashley's plan, all right?
It doesn't matter.
The truth is, I'm scared.
I'm scared, all right?
I love this life we're building
me, you, the kids, our work.
I don't wanna lose it.
Do you understand that?
I don't wanna lose it.
Well, you're in luck, because
I don't scare that easily.
So whatever it is, we'll
figure it out together.
[DOORBELL RINGS]
Hi.
[NDUGU] More suction.
Kwan, tell me what you see.
The schwannoma is well-encapsulated.
There is a lot of cystic degeneration,
but it looks like the nerve is intact.
- Correct. And?
- He'll be back to playing tennis soon?
[NDUGU] There's no internal bleeding.
Do either of you see any hemorrhaging
around the nearby vessels?
- [GRIFFITH] No.
- Nothing.
That's right. Given the amount of
pain he had, something's not adding up.
Griffith, any ideas?
Could the tumor have been trapped
between the scalene muscles?
That is possible, but not likely.
How'd he describe his pain?
He said he had acute onset severe
pain and weakness in his arm.
Or something like that.
Do you need suction?
[NDUGU] Okay, let's place
a drain and finish this up,
and someone tell Millin
I wanna talk with her.
Why do you need her?
Just have a few questions.
[MELANCHOLY COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYING]
[SIGHS] It looks like Richard
will be out of surgery soon.
Okay, thank you.
Oh, you didn't get the plot?
[SIGHS] It already belongs to someone.
I tried to buy them out,
but it turns out that their family
has been dying there for generations.
You know, the vow is
"Till death do us part."
I know. I've said it twice,
and twice it didn't stick.
You know, when I was divorcing Robert,
he said to me that I
was a hard woman to love.
Well, that's a horrible thing to say.
It wasn't wrong.
So I just poured my heart into
raising Jackson and my career.
I had a couple of
memorable entanglements.
We don't need the details.
The more time went on,
the more finding true love just
seemed like a thing of the past.
And then I met Richard.
I met Richard, and all I
could see was our future.
Places we'd go, things we'd
see, what we'd say to each other.
I didn't have an exact list.
I just knew that I wanted to
experience everything with him.
And whatever time we had left would
would never be enough.
That's why unity in death
gives me peace.
Oh, that's lovely.
But maybe you can find that peace
without having to be
buried right next to him.
Miranda, what
what service are you
using for your cremation?
I'd like to do that.
Well, there you go.
Spread my ashes all on
top of Richard's grave.
I'll be closer to him than Adele.
That is not what I meant.
This makes me feel so
much better. Thank you.
[CHUCKLES]
Okay, when can I go see my husband?
- Stop poking at me.
- When did this happen?
It doesn't matter. It is what it is.
You distracted me. Why did
you let me just gab on and on?
Well, we were both having a good time.
We could've had more time if you'd
said something. I am a doctor.
Are you saying this was my fault?
You knew I chose this profession
to help people like Mom.
Dad, why didn't you let me help you?
So now I've robbed you of your
chance to play the hero, huh?
- I didn't say that.
- Look, you saw how I couldn't get
through a meal
without my back hurting.
You saw how many times
I went to the restroom
when we watched
football on Thanksgiving.
I didn't know those could
be symptoms of cancer.
But you did.
[RHYTHMIC BEEPING]
You're the doctor. You could
have said something too.
So where were you?
I went for a drive and
I-I called my sponsor,
which I probably should've done
before I drove all the way up here.
You were gone for two hours.
I also took a nap, all right?
I am so sleep-deprived.
- I'm not thinking clearly.
- Yeah, or at all.
I know that you're freaked out because
of what happened with Charlotte.
I am telling you, I am
not that person anymore.
Well, you're doing a good
job of acting like it.
You're the one who hasn't changed.
You refuse to see me as anything other
than your messed-up little sister.
You lied about having a baby.
Then you show up here, and you're
acting like it's no big deal.
Okay. You want to know what happened?
You want to know the truth?
A couple of nights ago,
I was driving Miles
around to get him to sleep.
And he was screaming so loud, I
couldn't even hear myself think.
And before I knew it, I was pulling
into the parking lot of Ron's Tavern.
And I sat there for ten
minutes staring at that door.
I knew if I walked in,
there'd be no turning back,
so I started driving and I came here.
I thought you'd be able to
help me figure things out.
I thought if I told you about him,
you would just start yelling at me
the conversation would
be over before it started.
I'm gonna go get Miles, and
we're gonna let you get back
No, wait. It's okay. Listen. Please.
Could you just sit down?
Where are you gonna go?
- I'll find a hotel.
- No. Just stay.
You can stay here. We can talk.
We can figure things out.
But I've already imposed
on you and Meredith enough.
You kidding? She's probably
making up the guest room now.
You'd be imposing if you left.
Okay. Thanks.
- Just don't go running off again.
- Well, don't piss me off.

Dr. Kennedy Joseph to OR 2.
Are you still operating on Mitch?
Just finished. Griffith and
Kwan are closing him now.
I'm sure he's glad to
have that taken care of.
Did it go okay?
Yeah. Yeah, in fact,
it was fairly simple.
There was no bleeding
in the tumor's vessels.
I'm glad it went well.
Yeah, do you find it suspicious
that he presented with textbook symptoms
of a ruptured vessel with no rupture?
Something else must have
been making the pain worse.
There's nothing else you want to say?
I only know what he told me.
Okay, then. See you later.
[MELANCHOLY MUSIC PLAYS]
I failed you.
- It's in the past.
- I should've said something.
I should've pushed you
to get checked earlier.
I've regretted it since
the day I lost you.
And now I'm going to survive
the disease that killed you.
And I'll carry that guilt with
me for the rest of my life.
Richard Webber.
What have I told you about tears?
- Um Webber men don't have them.
- I mean it.
What's that prayer you say?
Hey, hey, the one about
knowing what you can
change and what you can't.
- A serenity prayer?
- Yeah. That's the one.

[WEBBER] Bailey?
Hey. Welcome back.
Is Catherine
Chomping at the bit to get in here.
Promising to sit here until you woke up
was the only way she agreed
to stay off this floor.
I know it was a big ask.
I appreciate you.
You might want to
withhold judgment on that.
Can you do me one more favor?
So, I need to know what it is first.
A urology patient.
Curtis James.
Can you see how he's doing?
Tell him I'm here if he
needs to talk about anything.
Sure.
Um, I'll go get Catherine first.
[GREY] It's not always possible to
seek permission before making decisions.
And you won't get it right every time.
[GENTLE MUSIC PLAYS]
In those cases, you'll
need to seek forgiveness.
- Want some?
- No, thanks.
You love this kind.
Ndugu knows we helped Mitch.
I didn't say anything.
Is he gonna report it?
More importantly, does he
think I was a part of it?
Whatever it was.
I don't think he's gonna do
anything, but he knows I lied.
I'm sorry.
