Grey's Anatomy s23e05 Episode Script

1
[GREY] In third grade, I had
to do a project about heroes.
I wanted to choose Indiana Jones,
but my mom made me choose
Elizabeth Blackwell,
the first woman to earn a medical
degree in the United States.
Hi, Son.
What are you doing here?
I wanted to see you.
Well, you did.
Wait, Benson. Can we talk?
No.
You don't get to show up here
and pretend you're anything more
than a glorified sperm donor.
["FLOAT" PLAYING ♪]
[GREY] She was accepted
as a joke by men
expecting her to fail or drop out.
What are you thinking?
If you think there's anything
going on up here right now
[BOTH CHUCKLING]
Easy solution ♪
Just keep moving till
you crash the plane ♪
[PHONE CHIMES]
Ooh. It's Dr. Webber.
Uh, I have to go, but,
um, we should really
We should really talk about
this at some point because,
you know, all of the reasons.
Of course, yeah.
Know I don't wanna hear
it but you say it anyway ♪
[GREY] She was ridiculed by her
classmates and the locals in town,
but do you think she was scared?
Where were they?
- They were under the seat.
- If you put them in the center console,
then maybe you wouldn't be
losing them all the time.
Oh, Hilary is almost at
the house. I gotta go.
Enjoy study group.
Oh! Um, we're out of
milk and blueberries.
Well, I'll pick some up on
my way home, whenever that is.
[GREY] Hell yeah, she was
scared, but she faced her demons
and did it anyway, graduating
at the top of her class.
Who keeps texting you?
Corrie. New birth trauma friend.
Oh! Her husband has box
seats with the Mariners.
She said the four of us
should go to a game sometime.
I have asked you to go with me at
least ten times. You always say no.
Well, that's because you
actually wanna watch the game.
[PHONE BUZZES]
I just got paged.
Give me ten minutes to
make sure everything's okay?
Sure.
Then you're taking me to sushi.
[SONG ENDS ♪]
Hey. Simone said I can move back in.
Can I get my old room back?
No.
I already did you a kindness.
Look, I don't wanna pull rank,
but it is my aunt's place.
- Anybody know what this is about?
- No. [CLEARS THROAT]
Have you looked outside?
The stars are so bright tonight. [SIGHS]
What? We can't take a second to
appreciate the beauty of the universe?
I had to change because
a patient's ostomy bag
exploded all over my shirt.
Listen up, people. I just got
off the phone with the president
at Parsons General, and she
confirmed what we were afraid of:
They're closing their doors
at the end of the month.
They have 300 inpatients
that need to be divided
between us and Seattle Pres.
We've got a few today, but the
first big wave is coming tomorrow.
We'll have to prepare all night.
I need you all on the floor.
If you've already hit your
hours for the week, come find me.
I thought today couldn't get any worse.
- Hey, but those stars, though.
- Shut up.
[OPERATOR ANNOUNCING ON PA]
[SHEPHERD] Hey, I'm having a hard time
ordering phenytoin
in an oral suspension.
It's MRN 87534.
Oh, hey, you on tonight?
Mmm, uh, no, my poor fellow's
getting stuck with
this whole Parsons mess.
Lincoln.
It advises counseling, but
you've had tramadol before, right?
Yeah, thanks.
Everything all right?
I screwed up a ligament in my knee
chasing Luna around on her scooter.
Oof.
Hey, Jo's waiting, so I should
- See you tomorrow.
- Yeah, have a good night.
Hey, Mrs. Shier's
ultrasound looked good,
but before you pull a JP drain,
you need to confirm the output
beforehand with the nurse.
Copy that.
It's an easy mistake to make.
Yeah, no. I don't feel bad.
Uh, you shouldn't. Yeah.
[MURMURS]
While I have you,
Adams is moving back in.
To the house.
- My house.
- Okay.
I know it probably sounds weird,
but, we're here all the time anyway,
and he needed a place to
crash, so I figured why not?
Yeah, I could think of a few reasons.
You two busy? I got a
transfer landing in room 3126.
We'll be right over.
If you're uncomfortable with this,
- we can talk about it more.
- I'm good if you are.
Well, you're 38 weeks, right?
Okay, yeah, then it's probably
contractions. How far apart?
- Still sushi?
- It's Corrie.
Okay, is your husband home?
Can he take you?
Except which place, though?
All-you-can-eat or
Mm-mmm.
I get it. Why don't you
text me your address,
and I can come check you out?
Of course. Okay.
All right, um, we are
heading to Madison Park.
Because Corrie recommended
an amazing sushi place there?
Well, her husband isn't
home, and he's insisting
that she goes to the hospital.
- So we're going there instead.
- It'll be quick.
[OPERATOR ANNOUNCING ON PA]
[SIGHS]
I told you to leave.
I know you're angry, but
we really need to talk.
Oh, you want to talk? Great.
Let's talk about how, when I was four,
and you went to go get ice
cream, and you never came back,
did you know that Mom left a
place for you at dinner for weeks
thinking you'd come home?
And I told my friends
that you were an astronaut
because I was too embarrassed
to say that you left us.
I can explain.
- I'm gonna get security.
- You don't need to do that.
Do not tell me what to do!
You don't know me!
I'm dying.
[SIGHS] Just to recap
we're postponing dinner
to make a house call
on a woman who's not your patient?
She had a traumatic first pregnancy.
She is scared.
- Why doesn't she call her OB?
- Why don't you go wait in the car?
Because I know you, and as soon as
you get in here and start chatting
- [DOORBELL RINGS]
- Here in case you need extra hands.
It'll take five minutes.
Don't stress her out.
Hey, you made it.
We did. This is my husband Link.
- Hi, thanks for coming all this way.
- No problem.
I actually feel a ton better,
but do either of you know
anything about olives?
- Like the food?
- Yeah.
Do they go bad? I can't tell.
Are you okay?
Yeah, yeah. I was
cleaning out the fridge.
Just making room for some bottles.
[BREATHING HEAVILY] You know,
it's like you said,
the baby is coming, but not now,
not while I've got a fridge full of
expired condiments
that need tossing. So
- Why don't I check you out?
- You know what,
that's not necessary, 'cause I'm sure
it was just Braxton Hicks,
um [PANTS]
Do you, uh, think that's
one person's full name?
- [GASPS, GRUNTS]
- Okay. Let's get you inside.
- [PANTING] Okay, okay, okay.
- Inside. Okay.
[CORRIE GROANS]
[BAILEY LAUGHING]
[CHUCKLES]
If anyone asks, it wasn't me.
You are so bad.
- Oh, Ben, hi.
- Hey.
Meet Hilary, my
environmental health partner.
Hilary, this is Ben.
Hey, I'm, uh
I'm her, uh her life partner.
- [LAUGHS]
- [CHUCKLES] Lucky man.
Yeah, so it looks like you
two are having a lot of fun.
Oh, no, we're just
taking a, um, quick break.
[CHUCKLES] I was just telling
Miranda about when I went to Canada
one January without a jacket.
And If you have a minute,
it's a real funny story, so
Oh, no, I got a lot of groceries
I need to unload, you know.
- And then, you know, laundry.
- Yeah, but I can help with that.
We'll be finished here soon.
No, no, no, no, no, take
your time, take your time.
I wouldn't want to
disturb your workflow.
[ALL CHUCKLE]
- Okay.
- Okay.
- [BAILEY] All right, where are we?
- [HILARY, BAILEY CHATTERING]
Trinity Yuzna, 18 years old,
restrained driver in an MVC,
- just transferred from Parsons.
- [COUGHING]
Post-op day three from an
ex-lap with a liver lac repair.
Latest labs show a white
blood cell count of 17,
but the incision site still looks
intact. No signs of infection.
Trinity, it looks like you have
a fever. How are you feeling?
[CELL PHONE RINGING]
Um, well, kind of flu-y.
Is that normal after surgery?
Well, I wouldn't say it was normal.
It's not uncommon to have
a fever after surgery.
We just want to make sure
that there's no infection
that was related to your procedure.
Have you been around anybody that's
been sick in the past few weeks?
I live in a dorm. It's a cesspool.
We'll get you a chest
X-ray and cultures,
and we'll give you
fluids and IV antibiotics.
Let's add amylase,
lipase, and urinalysis.
- You get all that?
- Yeah.
- [PHONE RINGING]
- [SIGHS]
- Sorry. My mom's doing the most.
- Probably very worried.
She doesn't know. No, she's
next level when I get a cold.
Trust me, I am saving all of us.
Uh Okay.
Well, we'll let you get some rest,
and then we'll come back
after we get your results.
[OPERATOR ANNOUNCING ON PA]
When were you diagnosed?
Coming up on four years.
I've had every treatment.
Nothing's worked.
My only hope is a clinical trial,
but I need a bone marrow transplant
from a donor, and so
far there's no match.
I'm at peace with it.
I have no sympathy for you.
And I know what it
sounds like, but I don't.
And I can't force it.
- I understand.
- No, if you understood,
you would have come back,
or sent us money, or called.
- I know.
- We had nothing.
Mom had to work two, sometimes
three jobs, and you were nowhere.
She got sick and died,
and you were nowhere.
If I could go back in time,
I'd do everything differently.
[CHUCKLING] Oh.
- Well, that's helpful.
- I have a lot of regrets in my life,
but what I did to you and your
mother that's the biggest.
It's all about you, right?
Your feelings, your regrets.
- Coming here was a bad idea.
- You think?
I just wanted to see you one more time.
You're my son.
I'm deeply, eternally
sorry for what I did to you.
I'll let you get back to work.
[GRUNTS]
Are you dizzy?
Yeah, just dehydrated.
Supposed to have fluids today.
Came here instead.
[GROANS]
- [SIGHS] Come on.
- Where are we going?
I'm getting you an IV.
You can't drive like this.
You don't have to take care of me.
I'm not. It's a public service.
Come on.
[WILSON] You said your
husband's on the way?
Yeah, he's, uh, driving back
from a work meeting in Tacoma.
His mom has our son.
Okay, tell him to
meet you at Grey Sloan.
You are definitely in labor.
Oh, no, no, no. No, no,
I have two more weeks.
I still need to finish
potty training my son.
I need to put the sheets on the crib.
The I-I have time.
You are five centimeters dilated.
We can give you a ride.
Well, maybe you measured
wrong, 'cause I
- Are you okay?
- Oh, crap. Uh, my water just broke.
Okay, we're going to the hospital.
[GASPS]
- What's wrong?
- [GRUNTING]
Um
I don't know, something something
just feels weird down there.
Okay, can I check again?
Yeah, yeah.
Okay.
What's wrong?
- Jo?
- The umbilical cord.
It slipped out before the baby's head,
which can cut off the
baby's blood supply. Link!
I think we should go to the hospital.
I think we sh
Okay. Don't move, don't move.
I need to keep my hand inside.
What? Why?
I need to keep the head off the
cord to save the baby's blood supply.
Link, I need some help in here!
Okay, this is gonna be
very uncomfortable, okay?
Ready?
- There we go.
- Oh, stop, stop. Please stop.
Okay. Okay, I'm in position.
I can feel the baby's
heartbeat through the cord.
I'm going to focus on that.
You focus on breathing.
- Oh. You need something?
- Call 911.
Tell them we have a woman in
labor with a prolapsed cord.
We need to be in an OB
OR within 15 minutes.
Okay.
- Hey. Hey, hey, where'd you get that?
- Olympic floor.
How? I just tried to get up there,
and they were using the
elevators to move overflow beds.
Oh, hey. Can one of you set the
man in exam two on an IV drip?
- Did your hands stop working?
- Where have you been?
Talking to the dirtbag
formerly known as my father.
- No. Where is he?
- Exam two.
Does everyone who goes missing in
your life eventually show up here?
What's his deal?
Apparently he's dying.
Stage three multiple myeloma.
- I'm sorry.
- How are you doing?
I don't know. It's weird.
When I look at him, it's like I
know him, but I don't know him.
I feel that way when I talk to
my parents when they're high.
- Can one of you just go help him?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, I got you.
Hey, can you take my
consult in bed five?
Sure, if you give me the
other half of your protein bar.
Fine. Guess I'll starve.
[OPERATOR ANNOUNCING ON PA]
Hey, Webber wants a list of
patients we can consolidate
into doubles or triples to
make room for the influx.
I will do it.
Did you check in with Trinity?
X-ray's clear, but she got a rash
after we started the vanc and cef.
Could be allergic or it could
be a vanc infusion reaction.
Did you talk to the nurse about
I already put a pause on the
meds and gave an antihistamine.
No signs of anaphylaxis. And
looking into which one's the culprit.
O-Okay. Well, next
time you change the plan
with one of my patients,
just check with me first.
Oh, you want me to talk with you
before making any big decisions?
You got it.
- Dr. Bryant?
- Yes?
I get that you're mad at me.
- Oh, I'm not mad.
- Oh, you are mad.
What you're not is subtle. I am a
second year and you are my intern.
Our personal life cannot
get in the way of the work.
Okay, I get it. I'll do better.
But I'm not mad.
I'm disappointed that my
girlfriend invited her ex to move in
without talking to me about it.
I don't need your permission to get
a new roommate, but I did talk
You don't need my permission to
do anything, clearly. I just
I don't want to be treated
like an afterthought.
You are not an afterthought.
Right.
I'm your intern.
Paramedics are here.
Just hold on a little bit longer.
It's almost over.
- Can you still feel the heartbeat?
- I can.
It's another boy.
[CRYING] Or at least it
will be, if he just holds on.
- He will. Wow.
- [PARAMEDIC] Where are we going?
Two boys. You're gonna
have your hands full.
One of them better like musical theater.
Thank God. G2P1 at 38
weeks with a prolapsed cord.
I've elevated the head off the
cord for the last six minutes.
- We need to move.
- Right, so we'll transfer her
in a knee-chest position to the gurney.
And remove my hand? Absolutely not.
- Our protocol states
- Your protocol is wrong.
- Jo
- I've already got the head off the cord.
If I were in the hospital
with this complication,
I would ride this bed
all the way to the OR.
You have to transfer us both.
If I let go, every second
or minute of cord compression
could cause permanent neurological
disability or even death.
Okay, we'll transfer them together.
All right, we'll use this sheet.
Grab your sides.
We'll go on my count. Ready?
One, two, three.
[CORRIE SCREAMS, GROANING]
Okay.
You should be out of here soon.
I'm not in a hurry.
I've got three hours
in the car after this.
Still live up in Vancouver?
Been there 32 years.
Yeah, I know how long it's been.
I didn't expect any of this
to happen the way it did.
- I certainly didn't plan it.
- [SCOFFS]
So you're saying you abandoned
your wife and son by accident?
The night I left, I planned to
drive off the Ambassador Bridge.
When I got there, I couldn't do it.
So I drove to Canada instead.
Drive off the bridge like
Mom just said that you were unhappy.
It was more than that.
My first startup went belly up
after giving it
everything I had for years.
Your mom hated it.
She thought we just played
Ping-Pong and Skee-Ball all day.
Wanted me to walk away, grow up.
- Why didn't you?
- Because I believed in it.
I thought we'd sell, go public,
and you'd be set for life.
Instead, I lost all our money.
I was depressed, ashamed.
I let you down.
Well, if that's it, then
why didn't you come back?
You've had successful
companies since then.
You think I could have faced you then?
I was a coward, plain and simple.
But rest assured. Karma is a bitch.
Dr. Kwan, Mr. Preston's asking for you.
Go ahead. I'm not going anywhere.
- Thanks for having me. [CHUCKLES]
- [GIGGLING] My pleasure.
- We're gonna ace this project.
- Yeah.
- Go team.
- Go team. [GIGGLES]
- [MOCKING GIGGLES] Go team.
- Ben.
- Hey. [LAUGHS]
- [LAUGHING]
- Okay. [GIGGLING] All right.
- Thank you.
You know, it's, um it's funny.
You never mentioned that,
uh, Hilary was a man.
I didn't think it was important.
[CHUCKLES] So, you weren't
just, uh, hiding the fact that
you were spending the night
with an attractive male friend?
- Attractive? He's my classmate.
- Yeah.
You don't find Mr. Perfect-Face-With-
The-Washboard-Abs handsome?
Uh, how do you know about his abs?
[SCOFFS] I can see
'em through his shirt.
How do you know about his abs?
Ben Warren. Are you jealous?
- Nope.
- [LAUGHS]
Those pants would disagree.
I am not jealous.
Look, I [SCOFFS]
I did drop-off and pick-up,
worked a fourteen-hour shift,
and then stopped at the
grocery store on the way home.
You said I could lean on you.
Yeah, and I want you to.
I leaned on you for years.
Mm-hmm.
I want you to achieve
your goals, but that
that is not what I
saw happening tonight.
- We were working on a group project.
- Nah, nah, nah, nah.
You were having fun with
another man in our kitchen,
while I'm turning down
a seat on the board
of the Washington Association
of Plastic Surgeons.
You didn't tell me you
had the opportunity to
be on a professional board.
Wait, you turned it down?
Why? Why would you do that?
Apparently, so you could
spend time with Hot Hilary.
[STAMMERS]
- Jo.
- I'm still here.
- If this doesn't end well
- It will.
I'm sorry you're also
having to go through this.
Corrie, do not do this.
We need to go now.
Yeah. Her husband's gonna meet us there.
Are you okay? I will follow
you the whole way there.
I'm fine. Go to the hospital
and find her husband.
- Jo.
- Go!
Why aren't we leaving?
[COUGHING]
- What's going on?
- Fever's up to 41.
- When's her next dose of acetaminophen?
- Not for another hour.
And the rash is getting worse,
even after the antihistamine.
- How are we doing in here?
- [COUGHING]
[WEBBER] I don't like the sound of that.
Can I take a look?
- How long she had the rash?
- Couple of hours.
It started on her face and
kind of spread out from there.
Can you open your mouth for me?
Red morbilliform rash and Koplik spots.
What does that tell you?
- You think she has measles?
- I have measles?
Looks like you're on
your third or fourth day.
- Were you vaccinated?
- My mom doesn't believe in it.
We need to page infectious disease
and start airborne
isolation precautions.
So wait. You guys are gonna give
me medicine, right? Is there a cure?
The cure is getting vaccinated
before you're exposed.
It's too late for that.
We'll do our best to
keep you comfortable,
but the only way to get through
measles is to ride it out.
[CELL PHONE RINGING]
Is that your mom again?
I can talk to her if you want.
No, no, she's the one
who got me into this.
Cucumber stars?
Impressive.
Yeah.
Whatever it takes to
get her to eat something
other than cheese crackers.
I appreciate everything that
you're doing for this family, for me
so that I can follow my dreams,
but I don't want it at
the expense of your dreams.
I've never done that to you.
You should go get that board position.
[STAMMERS] It's too much
of a time commitment.
- We'll figure it out.
- How? How?
Okay, who-who'll pick up
Pru and put away laundry
and pay the bills and make sure
that, you know, we have food?
Did you know that today
was an early release day?
Mmm?
I was an hour and a
half late picking up Pru.
I had to leave work midday.
I had a patient who almost
lost a leg, and I wasn't there.
You forgot to pick up our child?
I am saying I'm drowning.
You told me to go back to school.
And if I could go back in
time, I would do it again.
But that doesn't mean it isn't hard
or that sometimes I might get,
you know, a little resentful,
especially when I have to watch
you and your new friend laugh
while I'm cutting
cucumbers into tiny stars.
So it's all my fault.
That's not what I'm saying.
Oh, where are you going?
It's late. I'm going to bed.
- How are things with Papa Kwan?
- He's not a Kwan.
I eventually took my mom's name but
he is biologically my dad. So
- You're donating bone marrow?
- I'm just testing to see if I match.
But you hate that man.
I hate a lot of people
I help. It's the job.
You're not his doctor.
Are you trying to convince
him to let his dad die?
I'm trying to understand.
You told me you didn't even have a dad.
Now you're going to give
him your bone marrow?
I'm taking the high road.
I'd give you bone
marrow if you needed it.
This is when you say you'd
give me bone marrow if I need
You wouldn't even give
me your protein bar.
Hey, you want the rest?
I'm gonna go give someone an enema.
[OPERATOR ANNOUNCING ON PA]
I can't believe I missed measles.
It won't happen again.
Well, don't be sorry.
How would you diagnose measles?
You've never seen it.
We touched on it in med school.
I've seen the textbook pictures.
It's not the same as
seeing it in real life.
We eliminated measles in
this country years ago.
I had it when I was six.
It's a miserable disease.
I just don't understand.
Some people fear vaccines more
than a disease that could kill you.
All I know is one of the
worst parts of this job
was watching the parents
see their child suffer.
I remember every time I had to do it.
Including from measles.
You think she'll be okay?
I hope so.
Corrie, I know that you
want to, but you cannot push.
I can't. [GRUNTING]
I can't do this again.
Yes, you can.
I need you to think about the baby.
- How much longer?
- [STAMMERS] There's an accident on I-5.
He's looking for a detour.
- [GROANING]
- BP's tanking.
[RAPID BEEPING]
- She's unconscious.
- [WILSON] Bag her.
I can barely reach the
baby's head anymore.
- What?
- The baby's head is floating up.
- Is that normal?
- No. Her uterus just ruptured.
Likely along her
previous C-section scar.
Do you have a thoracotomy or an
OB kit or anything with a scalpel?
Yeah, yeah. Here. Why?
We're gonna stop this ambulance
and perform a crash C-section.
Or at least I am, and
you're gonna help me.
Inside the ambulance?
No, we're almost there.
If we don't do anything, they'll
both be dead within minutes.
Stop the ambulance!
Your electrolytes are back to normal.
Yeah, at least I got that going for me.
You know, stage-three cancer humor.
I got HLA tested for
bone marrow compatibility.
I know it's hard for Asian people
to find a match in the registry.
I don't know what to say.
- I'm grateful.
- Well, don't thank me yet.
Um, it takes about a
week to get the results.
- But even just getting the test
- It was easy.
I'm gonna be up in Vancouver for
a conference in about a month.
If there's time
maybe we can grab a coffee.
I'd like that.
I'm gonna order a urinalysis.
Someone will be by to
bring you a sample cup.
Can't see anything. More suction.
- Whoa. It's right there.
- Okay. Yep.
I got you, little guy.
Oh, God. I got you. I got you.
- Okay, clamp and scissors.
- Yeah.
Okay. Is there a pulse?
I can't hear one. I'm bagging him.
If there's no pulse after 30
seconds, start compressions.
Okay. Get us out of here.
[PARAMEDIC 2] You got it.
I'll go check on your labs.
Thank God you convinced me to come here.
He already did the swab.
No, I hadn't even made the ask yet.
- Hey, can you What?
- Shut up.
I was waiting for the right
moment, but he did it himself.
Let's just hope he's a good match.
Okay.
- Did he just say
- Yes.
What are you gonna do about it?
Why am I the only one on the hook?
You heard him too.
I stay out of family stuff.
I'm never giving you my bone marrow.
Where have you been?
I needed to get some air.
Trinity needs ice
packs to cool her down.
Yeah, well, I can't
go back in there, so
Is this about Adams again?
I can't keep doing this, Wes.
- We
- I'm not vaccinated.
How? We work at a hospital.
I have a genetic immunodeficiency.

How did I not know this?
Easy, I didn't tell you.
Why not?
[SIGHS] Well, it's, um
[CLEARS THROAT] Well, it's not
something I like to lead with.
I don't want people thinking
of me as sick, you know?
I'm not people.
I'm the person you're dating.
Yeah, and you're also the
person that assigns me work.
So, I don't want any special treatment.
You told me I treat you
like an afterthought,
but then you didn't tell me
this huge piece of your life.
Hmmm.
Well, I didn't sleep
with CVID six weeks ago.
You knew about me and Lucas?
I do now.
You know, when you told me you
weren't sure if the pregnancy was mine,
- I figured he could be a possibility.
- You and I were casual.
Yeah, well, we're not now,
so what does that mean to me?
Are we that serious if
it took a measles patient
for you to tell me you
have a chronic illness?
It didn't take a measle

[KWAN] I'll look out for the labs

Hi. Can I talk to you?
[SIGHS] I'm not checking on another
diabetic foot for you in the ER.
At some point you have
to suck it up and do it.
It's about your dad.
[SIGHS] I don't want to
keep talking about this.
What does it matter if
I give him bone marrow?
It's not about that.
Well, it's kind of about that.
Look, I overheard him on the
phone, and he's conning you.
He came here to see if
you would get tested.
- He didn't even ask.
- That's what he said.
He was looking for the right time,
but then you beat him to it, and
You don't know what
you're talking about.
- I heard it.
- [SIGHS]
I know how it feels. I know that
you want your dad to be a good guy
No, you don't know how I feel.
Your parents are nothing like mine.
My dad made a lot of bad
choices, but he regrets it.
Your parents don't regret anything.
They're probably high somewhere
in a stash house as we speak.
You know what? Do whatever you want.
[INDIE FOLK MUSIC PLAYING ♪]
I hope you two are very happy together.
[COUGHING]
Is this any better?
My grandparents have
this old trash compactor
that squishes the garbage
into these small cubes.
I'm that garbage.
I'm sorry.
Hopefully this is the worst of it.
Yeah.

I know you said your mom's a lot,
but you should really fill her in.
You don't know her.
- She's clearly worried about you.
- No.
No, she's not worried,
she's just controlling.
She doesn't trust me
to live my own life.
Meanwhile, who decided
not to get me vaccinated?
Lot of good her love's doing right now.
I'll say goodbye before I leave.
Get some sleep.
- How you feeling?
- A lot better. Thanks for hooking me up.
- Literally.
- Oh, it's nothing.
It wasn't nothing to me,
and thanks again
for getting tested. It means a lot.
Yeah, well, don't get your hopes up.
All the results need to come back,
and they might not be good
enough for your clinical trials.
True, but my doctor said a
child would almost certainly be
a good enough match for its parent.
Did you come back just
to get my bone marrow?
I came to see you.
Then why are you talking
to your doctor about me?
I was talking more generally.
You could have come back any
time in the past 30 years.
- Why now?
- I'm dying. Things changed.
But you didn't.
You're exactly the same
Don't expect to hear from me.
We're done.
Benson!
Like you said, karma's a bitch.
[BREATHING DEEPLY]
- Hey, how are you feeling?
- Wha
What happened?
- The baby
- He's in the NICU with your husband.
I will take you through
everything that happened
once you get a little more rest,
but for now, just know that
they are monitoring him,
and so far everything seems okay.
- Because of you.
- Hmm.
- What I must have put you through
- Don't do that.
I'm okay.
I almost gave up
but your voice
I never felt alone this time.
I knew you were there.
I'm really glad I was there.

[CORRIE CHUCKLES]
[MUSIC ENDS ♪]
Yeah.
What are you doing?
Well, I was gonna ask
you if we could talk,
but I knew you'd say no,
so I'm forcing the issue.
- Let's see how that works out for you.
- Mm-mmm, mm-mmm, mm-mmm.
Last night was the first time in
years that we went to bed angry.
You think I'm angry? I am not angry.
[SIGHING]
Miranda.
When my marriage to
Tucker Jones fell apart,
I tried to pinpoint the exact
moment that we started to unravel.
There was a lot to choose from,
but the one that stuck out
well, it didn't feel
like anything at the time.
What happened?
Well, I was studying
for my boards one night,
and I asked if he
would take out the trash
and he said no, he had taken it out
the night before and now it was my turn.
And that's the first time I
realized that he was keeping score.
And then it only got worse after that.
We have been through so
much together, Ben Warren.
I do not want this to be the
moment that we look back on and say,
"Ah-ah, that was it. That
was the beginning of the end."
Listen. I I am not keeping score.
I just miss you.
Okay. I
That's why I was jealous of Hilary.
He got to spend time
with you, and I didn't.
I'm trying to lean into
our marriage, not out.
Never out.
- But if that changes
- I will tell you.
But I'm only saying that because
I know it's what you need to hear.
Look, I'm not going anywhere.
[SIGHS]
Wright did recommend a babysitter.
Maybe bring in reinforcements.
I could take that position on the board,
and you could keep working with Himothy.
Hilary.
But you see how that
could be confusing, right?
I mean, the name is
- Hey.
- Have you been here all night?
Well, I told Webber
I'd help him figure out
some Parsons transfer logistics, so
- Should I let you work?
- No, I'm
I'm calling it. I'm done.
Did you wanna
Do you want to talk about what happened?
Actually, no.

-
Morning.
Hmm Is it?
Did you sleep?
I was with Jo when she got pulled
into a complicated delivery.
Prolapsed cord, and crash
C-section on an ambulance.
- What?
- Mom and baby are okay.
Thank God.
- How's your knee?
- My knee?
- Your knee. The ligament.
- Oh. [SCOFFS]
Um, it's fine. Better, I think.
I should get home and get some rest.
[GREY] You can't silence your demons.
But that doesn't mean they
get a say in where you go.
Hey.
Hey.
If this is gonna work,
you need to trust me.
You're not an afterthought.
I just knew there's nothing
for you to worry about.
I am not remotely tempted
to go back to Lucas.
I want to be with you.
Okay.
And I want you to tell
me about your life.
You can trust me with that too.
Okay.
Is that all you have to say?
I have to go get hooked up to IVIG.
They're making me stay out
of the hospital for 28 days
to see if I get the measles, so
I'm sorry.
You wanted me to tell you things.
Come here.
You'll be okay.
Yeah.
[GREY] So follow your passion.
Go where you want to go.
Everyone's talking about
your big save last night.
Impressive.
Thank you. It was rough.
I never want to do a crash
C-section on a rig again.
Well, you won't.
You can't do anything like this again.
She and her baby could have died.
I understand, but you're not an OB.
Not anymore.
What you did could open us
up to all sorts of lawsuits.
You never finished your residency,
your last night's work
under the auspices
- I want to come back.
- What?
Everything that I went through when
the twins were born, it haunts me.
I quit because I was worried
I could unravel at anything.
The sound of a monitor, a
patient crying out in pain.
But last night when I could have
easily fallen apart, I did it.
I saved Corrie and her baby,
and I did it knowing exactly
what she was going through
because I've gone through it too.
I guess what I'm trying
to say is that, um
maybe this thing that I thought was
a weakness is actually a strength.
And if you'll have me, I would
like to come back to work.
That's the best news I've heard all day.
It's only 8:00 a.m.
It's been a long night for me too.
[GREY] I can't wait to
see where you end up.
