So, he's just back?
Mm.
For good?
Yeah.
Okay, that face that you're making...
I don't know you well enough to know what that means.
You know those very happy, cheerful people who have everything and when the fact that they have everything comes up, they act very humble and they say, "I'm just so blessed."
Those people... you want to punch those people in the face.
Yes. I do know those people.
Yeah, I'm one of those people now.
Okay.
This morning, I was standing on my porch of my perfect house looking in the window at my amazing, perfect children and my amazing, gorgeous husband, on the way to my amazing job.
And I thought to myself, "I have everything I've ever wanted.
I am just so blessed."
I really wanna pummel your face in right now.
Right, I would beat myself up.
Except I'm too tired from...
Were you about to say that you're exhausted from all the great sex you're having?
I am just so blessed.
I'm gonna walk away from you now.
[Elevator bell dings]
Meredith: Picture the life you dreamed of living...
♪ Can I move like this? ♪
♪ Baby, if you move like that♪
The person you pictured being with.
Picture the job you dreamed you'd have.
[Siren wailing]
I'm a surgeon here at Grey-Sloan, but I like to think of myself first as a teacher.
I train young doctors to become surgeons.
Are you living the life you envisioned for yourself?
Are you who you wanted to be...
You guys, let's get a picture. Come on.
Everybody, eyes over there.
One, two, three.
All: Cheese!
[Camera shutter clicks]
When you grew up?
I have some loose ends in D.C., so I'll be flying back and forth for a few weeks.
Tie them up, hand them off, and then I'll be here for good.
And you want to come back full-time?
That's the plan.
This is great.
Uh, you realize all this has to be approved?
By whom? I'm on the board. I have privileges.
By Amelia.
Of course. I'll ask Amelia.
I am the head of the Department of Neurosurgery, and that means I operate on... brains.
All: Cool!
It's very cool, actually, because I fix the big, squishy, slimy computer that runs your whole body.
If the brain goes, everything goes.
It is the coolest.
And, uh, this is Dr. Derek Shepherd, and he's a member of our Board, and, um...
I'm her brother.
I'm also a neurosurgeon. I work for her.
Your sister's your boss?
[Elevator bell dings]
My sister's my boss.
Okay, kids, uh, let's keep it moving.
Uh, thank you, doctors.
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
Oh, sweet!
How hard was that for you to say?
Rolls off the tongue.
It's not gonna be like it was before.
I'm not gonna angle for your job.
I'm not gonna steal your patients. I just want to work.
You say that now, but I know you, Derek.
I know us.
You grew up bossing me around.
I... I don't know that this can work.
Give me a chance, and I will show you.
[Telephone rings]
I don't have anything for you today.
I-I-I'm clipping an aneurysm later.
I will let you know.
You're not gonna make this fun, are you?
It's a lot of fun for me.
[Elevator bell dings]
[Sighs]
Stephanie: No, no, no.
Ew. Super no.
Wait, no, he's cute, I think.
You're going so fast.
He's 32 and wearing a high-school letterman jacket.
Your glory days are over, Steve. Give it up.
[Chuckles] You are so quick to judge.
It's a skill.
You spend enough time on this thing, you can learn everything you need to know from the first picture.
Will... cares too much about his cars.
Hmm.
Mike... too close with those cats.
[Elevator bell dings]
Theo needs to learn to wear a shirt.
[Laughs] Okay, okay, Theo is a no-go, but maybe your pickiness is keeping you from going on any real dates. You need to expand your horizons.
Ugh. [Sighs]
My horizons haven't been expanded in a very long time.
Ugh, gross!
I mean, yes, but gross.
[Chuckles]
So, I am a plastic surgeon.
I also operate on the ear, nose, and throat.
This is Dr. Warren.
He is a terrific surgical resident.
And together, we form the plastics posse.
[Laughs]
[Clears throat] Well, he calls us that.
Yeah.
But, uh, I do not.
Ah, it's... it's what we're called.
It's, you know, what they call us.
No, see, they don't think it's cool because it's not.
Well, it's not for them, Ben. It's for us, okay?
[Clears throat] All right, kids, let's go check out the E.R.
All right. Let's go.
Making medicine cool.
Huh? Not familiar with the high-five.
[Sighs] All right.
So, I have a teleconference all day, so you can hold down the fort for me?
But I'm not on your service today.
You're always on my service.
[Scoffs]
At least in spirit. Can I hear it?
Once? You want to say it?
[Laughs] No.
No? Thinking about it?
Nope!
Plastics posse.
[Elevator bell dings]
[Indistinct conversations]
Uh, ex-excuse me.
Yeah?
I lost track of my kids.
And I...
Your kids?
10 of them, fifth graders, varying heights.
Oh, the field trip.
Yeah, I went to the restroom, and I came out, and they'd vanished, so I...
You're a terrible chaperone is what you're saying.
[Sighs] [Chuckles]
That's what it looks like, yeah.
[Laughs] I think they're with Dr. Webber in the emergency room.
You don't, uh, happen to know where that is, do you?
I do. Follow me.
Okay. Thank you.
[Elevator bell dings]
A trauma is any kind of injury.
So, if you cut yourself or you break your leg skateboarding or wreck your bike, all of those injuries are called traumas, and that's what we are set up here to treat.
[Siren wailing]
Now, for a lot of people, the emergency room can be kind of a scary place, but it's actually...
All: Cool.
A police car!
The police!
Dan: I need some help over here!
Right here, right here, set him down.
Kids, let's move.
We got two guys down.
We couldn't wait for the medics.
Okay, I need a gurney. Trauma room is in there.
Back up.
Page Grey, Torres. Let's get cardio in here.
Brett, they got you now, buddy. All right, you just relax.
You let them take care of you, okay?
It's okay. Okay, let's go.
Grey's Anatomy 11x18
When I Grow Up
Just stick against the wall and let the doctors through.
To the side.
Where are they going?
Is that policeman gonna die?
All right, everyone stay calm. Everything's okay, all right?
What's going on?
Multiple g*nsh*t wounds from a robbery still in progress.
Sounds like a bloodbath. Whoa... hi, kids.
Sorry.
Uh, I should probably go with them, right?
Did you get paged?
No.
Then no.
We should just take the kids back to the school.
No, we can't.
I can't reach the bus driver, and he's not due back till 3:00.
Is there someplace that we can...
Dr. Webber,you coming?
Yeah, I'll be right there.
Um, kids, let's go see the babies.
It's nice and peaceful up there.
Woman: Excuse me.
Dr. Edwards will take you.
I will?
Yeah, it'll be fine.
Richard: Make medicine fun.
Educate, entertain, inspire.
And keep them away from the scary stuff.
Dan: It was a bank robbery.
Three suspects held up the bank tellers at gunpoint.
Brett and I moved in first, but as soon as they saw us, they panicked.
They just started firing, hit me right through the side of my vest.
Pete, try not to move your neck, okay?
What are we looking at?
Maggie: Two g*nsh*t wounds to the upper-left chest cavity.
Owen: At least three b*llet holes in his left abdomen.
Richard: I'm gonna need access. Here, I'm gonna start a subclavian line.
[Strained] Have they brought Brett in yet?
He's being worked on right next door.
Is he okay?
He took the brunt of it.
Dan: Two of them were armed.
Brett took one of them down, then he grabbed the other one.
He ended the thing, even after he was hit.
He's the only reason I'm standing here right now.
Brett saved it.
Blood's filling his chest cavity. He'll need bilateral tubes.
Betadine.
Then take him up right now and start an ex-lap.
Richard: Pete, we're gonna cut into your chest to place a tube that will help you breathe.
Even with the pain meds, it's gonna hurt like hell, but it's the only way.
All right, C-spine's clear.
I'll get out of your way.
Oh, whoa.
Uh, hey, you're bleeding quite a bit there.
I'm fine.
No, you got shot in the leg.
Come on. Let's get you into a bed.
I need a nurse in here.
I'm right outside, Pete, all right?
Mm.
Dr. Hunt, the officer's mother is here.
Richard, can you?
Yeah, go ahead.
We got it.
Pete, you ready?
Aaaaaah!
[Sighs]
They said I should speak to a doctor.
Mrs. Gibson, your son sustained multiple g*nsh*t wounds.
We're assessing his injuries now, and I will update you as soon as we know more.
Which one?
I'm sorry?
Which one of my sons? They're both here.
The GSW to the neck definitely hit the trachea.
And he's got one to the abdomen.
[Coughs] Oh.
Brett, do not try to talk. We got you.
I need to crike him before he loses his airway.
Okay, do it quickly.
I got to get him upstairs and examine these abdominal injuries.
O.R. 2 is ready for us whenever he's stable enough to transport.
Guys, these two cops are brothers, and Pete's injuries are pretty severe.
So let's not let their mother lose two sons in one day.
[Police radio chatter, indistinct conversations]
Move, please! Make way, guys.
Doctor coming through.
Excuse me. Excuse me! Excuse me, guys.
Move, please.
Um, do you think you could [Clears throat]
Maybe relocate your guys?
I could try, but they'll never listen.
[Inhales sharply]
Is there any update on Brett?
Um, it is too early to say, but he's in good hands.
All right, now this looks like a through-and-through.
Whoa.
You're missing a chunk of muscle, and you have exposed bone fragments.
Wow.
What?
Uh, no, I'm... just can't believe what I'm looking at.
That bad, huh?
No, no, no.
I just mean I can't believe that you carried your guy in on this leg.
I didn't have a choice.
[Clears throat]
No, of course you didn't. And you know what?
You... you can tell your guys they can be wherever they need to.
[Siren wails]
I'm Dan. Pruitt.
Dr. Callie Torres.
[Door opens] Man: There he is!
Coming through!
Is that another g*nsh*t victim?
Oh, hey, hey, hey. No, no, no... easy.
You got to stay off this leg.
Multiple GSWs to the right abdomen and chest.
Okay, trauma three.
Get him intubated, put in a central line, and send a trauma panel. Move!
Is he alive? He's alive, right?
Do you know him?
He's one of the suspects.
He was sitting in the car while the others were in the bank.
I want to know how he turns out.
Hey, guys, do you see that one in the back?
Yeah, that's one of mine.
I operated on him before he was even born.
Now he's two hours old and cute as a button.
A healthy little pop-tart.
Mm.
Pop-tart?
Yeah, a fetus that's popped.
A baby that's born from his mother's womb.
You just ruined pop-tarts for me.
[Scoffs] Yes?
What's a womb?
Oh, boy.
[Babies cooing]
Um...
[Chuckles]
You're tanking at this.
I don't understand why 'cause I'm usually really good with kids.
I have a question.
Go ahead.
Is that policeman going to die?
He was shot in the throat.
That's why he was gurgling blood like that.
And that means he can't breathe, so isn't he going to die?
How we doing, Pete?
[Weakly] Thinking of going for a run.
[Chuckles] This one... always the wise guy.
[Chuckles]
Does this remind you of that trip to the E.R.
When I got hit by a pitch?
You didn't even try to get out of the way.
Nothing changes, right?
I got to learn to duck.
Mom?
Yes?
Remember that potluck we did a couple years ago?
With all the guys in your backyard?
Mm-hmm.
When we get out of here, we got to do that again, okay?
But bigger, m-more people.
We'll invite these doctors. Everybody loved it.
Okay. Sure, honey.
We were gonna make it an annual thing, remember?
Mm-hmm.
We never did.
We got to do that...
Pete?
[Coughs]
Peter?!
[Monitor beeps rapidly]
We're gonna take good care of your boy, ma'am.
We need Pierce back in here!
They've got him, Mrs. Gibson. Pete's a tough kid.
What are you doing?
There's a trauma.
I didn't page you.
Amelia, I'm here to help you. Let me help.
You're the boss. I'll do whatever you need.
You want to help? Take my aneurysm.
O.R. 4... go clip it.
And there it is. That pause.
The one that means, "I don't want the boring aneurysm, I want the big, exciting neuro trauma."
You don't do second place.
I do now. I'm clipping an aneurysm.
[Monitor beeping rapidly]
We have an audience out there.
I know. Starting cardiac massage.
Hang another unit of blood on the rapid infuser.
Nurse: Right away.
Come on.
Come on, Pete. Give me something.
Give me anything.
I have a heartbeat.
[Monitor beeps steadily]
Got a pulse.
There he is.
What's the story?
Owen: Traumatic arrest.
Down for 14 minutes.
Pupils are fixed.
No.
We lost him?
No corneal reflex, either.
I'll do a formal exam in six hours, but someone needs to prepare the family.
He's most likely brain dead.
I'm sorry.
We lost him.
[Monitor beeping]
Pete's body is still strong, but I'm afraid his brain has been deprived of oxygen for too long.
[Voice breaking] He won't wake up?
No.
I'm afraid he's brain dead.
[Sighs]
Mrs. Gibson, I am so sorry for your loss.
And Brett?
He's still in surgery.
And he's gonna be okay?
He's stable now.
We're taking care of him as best we can.
Who would do this to them?
Okay, blood in the abdomen.
Possible liver injury.
Turn him on three. One, two, three.
No visible wounds on his back.
Looks like a b*llet's lodged near his spine.
Page neuro! Tell them to meet us in the O.R.
Bailey, there's a cop asking about this...
Oh, my God, how old is he, 15?
Too young to be playing with g*ns.
This kid was really sh**ting at cops?
But he's the driver, according to the police.
Alleged driver.
Can I tell him anything?
Tell him he's still alive, for now.
Notify O.R. 6 we're on our way up with an emergency ex-lap.
Nurse: Right away.
All: Whoa!
Awesome!
What did I tell you? Pretty cool, right?
Questions?
Me! Me! Me!
I do!
Mm...
I got a marble stuck in my nose once.
Alex: That's... Not a question.
Gross.
Are you sure this is okay?
Yeah, it's totally fine.
We got the nail out.
"We"?
You pulled that nail out of a guy's head?
I did.
Wow.
So, you're kind of a badass, huh?
I am.
Alex: Okay, next slide.
And this is a coffee can in a man's abdomen.
Cool!
That's disgusting.
Okay, now that is...
[Chuckles]
That's definitely not appropriate.
[Laughs]
It's totally fine. We got the can out, too.
S-sure, yeah.
But they're gonna ask how it got in there.
[Laughs]
Okay, guys, bus is here. Let's roll out.
[Children groan]
What is that?
It's a coffee can.
All right. Let's go, guys. Come on.
Dang, just when we were starting to have fun.
Bye!
Bye.
[Clears throat]
Hey.
Hey. I thought Amel...
Uh, I was looking for the other Dr. Shepherd.
She's busy with the trauma.
Ah.
Did you talk to her?
I did.
And?
I'm clipping an aneurysm for her.
Huh. And you're good with that?
What do you mean?
Well, it's a far cry from mapping the brain for the president.
She's been talking to you.
A bit.
I'm good with it. Actually, I'm a little nervous.
You sure you want to tell me that?
No, I mean, it's a good nervous, uh, good, excited.
I just haven't operated in months, and...
[Sighs]
It feels really good to be back.
Well, we're glad to have you back.
Hey, Hunt. We should hang out more.
Do you fish?
Never. Never have.
You should. We will.
Okay.
[Laughs] All right.
Okay.
The b*llet's nicked the bone, but there's no cord damage.
I'd say leave it. Your call.
Mm, this liver's in bad shape. It's actually avulsed.
The blood supply's completely gone.
A kid this young helps commit robbery?
[Sighs] He's not much older than Tuck.
Aw, damn it.
No, there's no saving this liver.
He's gonna need a transplant and fast.
Wow. So, someone doesn't get a liver because this sh**t gets one?
He won't survive without one.
And we don't know if this boy even had a g*n on him.
Please.
If he didn't sh**t a cop, he was an accessory to someone who did.
He'll be tried as an adult.
Hey, he's a patient.
We don't pay attention to the backstory.
We don't know anything about him.
We know we lost a cop today.
And we know he chose to help his friends hold people up at gunpoint.
You do that, you pretty much get the hand you're dealt.
[Door opens]
Pack him and aggressively resuscitate.
Then leave him here with a scrub nurse.
And you go find his family. I'll call UNOs .
All right. [Sighs]
First things first.
I checked on your partner, Brett.
He's still in surgery.
Minimal internal injury.
They're still working on the trachea repair, but it didn't hit any of the major blood vessels, which is really great news.
Thank you. That's... Thanks.
Now you.
You aren't going to need surgery, just a splint, but it does mean that you'll need to stay off of it for at least six weeks, maybe eight.
You think that means one week, I can tell.
But it means six. At least, okay?
After today, you know, I think I might want to ride a desk for a while.
After 14 years on the force, this is the first time I ever had to fire my w*apon on duty.
First time we were ever fired at.
[Sighs] Wow.
Well, it sounds like it was a good run.
I'm sorry it ended.
Thank you.
Any word on the kid?
Uh, no. Still in the O.R.
Okay.
I just need something good to come out of this day.
Meredith: Abdominal injuries are under control.
I'm ready to close. You about done, Kepner?
Almost. Then I'll let Wilson close.
Thank you, Dr. Kepner.
Okay, update me when you're done.
[Monitor beeping rapidly]
He's de-satting.
What is it?
Uh, it's not me.
Field is clear. There's no bleeders.
Nothing here. Tube's intact. No leaks.
Check his pupils.
No response.
Oh, damn it. Damn it, damn it, Brett.
Did he throw a clot?
We won't know until we get him up to C.T.
Page neuro, ask them to meet us post-op.
Right away.
We had him.
We had him.
I'm so sorry, Mrs. Gibson.
Brett's gone.
[Gasps]
[Exhales sharply]
I knew this could happen.
[Sighs]
I'm afraid Brett suffered a large stroke during surgery.
Unfortunately, it's not uncommon.
In this case, the damage was very severe, and it resulted in brain death.
Mrs. Gibson, there was nothing anyone could do.
But his hand is still warm in mine.
His heart's beating. I can see his breath.
[Sniffles]
I woke up this morning the mother of two perfect children.
Happy, proud.
And now...
[Sniffles]
I just don't understand.
Very sorry, Mrs. Gibson.
Oh, God.
[Sobbing]
[Suctioning]
Hey, how's he doing?
Pressure's dropping, and he's oozing from his drains.
Well, UNOs didn't have anything available.
Neither did any of the hospitals here or in Oregon.
Did you track down his family?
Oh, he's in the system.
His latest foster parents haven't seen him since the night he came to stay with them, though, so, uh, they're not exactly racing down here.
So he's alone?
And he's just gonna die here, alone.
How much time do we have?
Well, without a liver, he's got...
Hours.
Ben, stay with him. Keep his SBP above 100.
Where you going?
Well, I-I-I just can't go to sleep tonight knowing I didn't try absolutely everything.
[Door opens]
God, I mean, how did this happen?
This day started out so great.
"Blessed," I think you said.
Now I have to go ask the mom for her son's organs.
That sucks.
Is this how it has to be?
If I'm that happy, someone else has to be that unhappy?
I mean, this poor cops' mom lost two sons today.
What? Two sons?
Maggie: Stroke.
On the table.
Oh, God.
Uh, ugh.
Okay, you have to tell their Commanding Officer.
He's been asking for good news all day.
Meredith: Sure, I'll go talk to him as soon as I'm done asking the mom if we can cut up her hero sons for body parts.
Which, what time is it?
Those organs will be dead soon, too.
Also, the Commanding Officer keeps asking about the kid they brought in.
I think it's 'cause he just wants to hear that he's dead.
Can you blame him?
Uh...
I showed a bunch of school kids that X-ray of a coffee can stuck up some guy's butt.
Riveting.
Alex.
Read the room, man.
I was just trying to cheer you up.
Oh, Grey, um, is your patient an organ donor?
I'm about to go ask her now.
Oh, when? Now? 'Cause, you know, there's a window.
I know, Bailey. I know.
And I have a 15-year-old boy open in the O.R. who needs a liver, and UNOs is coming up empty.
15-year-old? You're not talking about...
I checked your patient, and he's a perfect match.
And we can do it today if the mother would consider a directed donation.
Are you serious?
Okay, all I'm asking is that you bring it up with her.
Just ask.
No!
He will not survive without a new liver.
Bailey, asking for her sons' organs is hard enough.
Now you want me to ask her for organs to give to the kid that k*lled her sons?
Okay, take away the story.
Right, take away the good guys and bad guys.
It's a child who needs an organ and a patient with one to give.
Bailey, that woman lost everything today.
I know!
Okay, you don't think I know that?
But ethically, you have to.
Ethically, I'm looking out for the best interest of my patient and his family.
Hey, thanks for walking us out.
You know, you didn't have to do that.
With your sense of direction, I kind of did.
That's...
That is absolutely true.
[Chuckles]
I know it's been a drag for you, but I really appreciate it.
You really did make it fun, so thank you.
Well, thank you.
Where's Julie?
Yeah, so...
What?
I can't find Julie.
She's not on the bus. Have you seen her?
No.
Oh.
Wait, Julie is the one who... wWho was asking about the policeman.
That Julie.
She was just right here, wasn't she?
Julie?
Hey, don't worry. We'll find her.
We'll find her, ma'am.
I know this is a difficult time and it's the last thing you'd want to think about, but you do have a decision to make.
Do you know if your sons would have considered becoming organ donors?
They were always helping people, even as little boys.
That's why they wanted to be policemen.
Well, Brett did.
Pete... he was always a little mixed up.
He just followed Brett, but then he... he found his way.
I think that... That's what they'd want.
I think they'd want to help.
Okay.
There'll be some paperwork to fill out.
Uh, Mrs. Gibson?
Sure.
It is possible for you to designate where you want your son's liver to go.
Uh, specifically, I have a young patient... he's only 15... desperately in need of a liver.
He's a perfect match with your son Brett.
Oh, God.
So young. That's terrible.
And you think Brett could help that boy?
He could.
You could.
15? Mm.
What happened to him?
Well, he... mm, was... was injured in the robbery.
Wait, you're not saying...
Okay, Mrs. Gibson, uh, I-I understand it's an impossible question, but we need to ask...
No, he... he m*rder*d my boys.
You have the audacity to walk in here and ask me to give him my child's body, my child's blood, so he can live?
No, he's not getting anything. He can go to hell.
Grey, well, I had to try for my...
For your patient, I know.
Yeah.
But now that's dozens of transplant patients that you just screwed out of a chance.
What happened?
My daughter's missing.
I knew we should have gone home immediately.
Ma'am, just try and stay calm, okay?
Is she the kind of kid who wanders off?
No.
No. What if someone took her?
Do you think someone took her?
Now, look... we took a class picture this morning.
This is her.
This is what she's wearing.
I'll send this out to my guys, and we'll track her down, okay?
Edwards, have the paging system call for her.
You know what the girl looks like.
Start checking the floors, room by room.
[Telephone rings]
Okay.
Woman on P.A.: Julie Hamilton, Julie Hamilton, please report to...
And he's so cute.
And he's incredible with the kids.
Really? Seems like he wouldn't have lost one, then.
No, no, you should have seen him when she actually went missing... he stepped up.
And... well, he might be a little young for me, though.
Well, better than too old.
[Sighs]
And can I really date a teacher?
Why not?
He gets off work at 3:00 P.M. I get off work at 3:00 A.M.
When will we have time to...
[Sighs] Steph, stop. Stop!
This isn't shirtless cat guy on the Internet.
Stop looking for reasons not to like the nice, cute guy.
You're hot for teacher. Let it happen.
[Sighs] I'm gonna let it happen.
Is there any hope?
I'm afraid not.
We'll observe them for the next six hours, but there's no brain activity at all.
How's their mom?
She is going to need all the support you can give her.
Thank you.
Okay.
What about the kid? Jared?
Callie: Listen, Dan, I know you're angry, and I know that you need to know, but we can't talk about a suspect's condition, not legally.
I'm not looking to settle a score, okay?
I knew this kid.
Brett knew this kid.
We put him in juvie.
We got him into the foster system.
We tried.
Jared's one of those kids, you know.
He's smart. He's funny.
He's just susceptible to bad things, bad choices, bad kids.
Brett would have called this his moment.
What's his moment?
He called it... he called it the moment... when a kid would back themselves into a corner, when it would hit the fan so bad, that there's no other choice but to turn it around, wind up in lockup, or dead.
Brett would say, "that's when you can get them, Dan.
That's when you can turn them around."
And this would have been it for Jared.
And Brett would have been here to help.
So, Derek's back.
Is that a question?
No, it's just...
And I'm glad, I am, for you and the kids, and I don't want to make this all about me.
It's just... he says he wants to come back and just work... for me.
Still not sure what you're asking.
Well, I'm asking should I believe that?
Can I believe that?
- I do.
You do.
Yeah, he's different.
I don't know how to explain it, but... I think he realizes what makes him happy, and he's choosing it.
And that makes me happy.
I think this is his moment.
Grey, what did you call me for?
'Cause if you just want to yell at me some more...
Nope.
I think I just got that kid his liver.
Wh...

Woman on P.A.: Julie Hamilton, Julie Hamilton, please report to any hospital personnel member immediately.
Meredith: You see that?
Yeah.
That's really...
[Chuckles]
Derek: Well, there you are.
Am I in trouble?
You know, you're not really supposed to be up here.
I saw that man in the E.R.
He was bleeding.
Yeah, the doctors worked really hard to try to save him.
But he died.
So they're taking all his parts out?
Mm-hmm.
He's a donor, so his body is gonna help save lives of people who need organs to live.
My grandpa had a heart transplant once.
Will she give his heart to someone else?
Yes, she will.
I want to do that.
Be a donor?
No.
The doctor.
I want to do what she's doing.
[Chuckles]
That's my wife. See the lead surgeon?
And right now she's making sure that the artery to the kidney is long enough to attach to someone else.
How did she learn all of that?
She went to school a lot and practiced.
And she's just... really great.
Yeah.
I think that's what I want to be.
Feels good, doesn't it?
Knowing what you want to do next.
[Gasps] Thank God, Julie!
Oh!
[Sighs]
Mm. Hey, baby.
That boy's alive?
Meredith: He is.
Because of my son?
That boy and the 37 others that were in the bank today...
37 people got to go home to their families today because of your sons.
Now, I would have called that a pretty good day's work.
But, Grey...
This is a list of 100 people who all got second chances today because of your sons.
Now, they won't know who to thank, so I would like to say thank you.
[Voice breaking] They were good boys.
[Siren wailing]
Okay, here we are.
I'll just put on the brakes.
All right.
Okay, ready? One, two, three.
[Groans]
Oh. Good.
All right, looks good.
Use the crutches.
I know you won't think you need them, but do it.
It'll heal faster.
Thank you, Dr. Torres.
For everything.
Oh, I'm... [Chuckles]
I'm so sorry about your friends, Officer Pruitt.
Thanks.
Hey, listen, um...
Yeah?
Never mind.
No, no, no. What is it?
Well, it's just that if today weren't...
Today.
If it was any other day, like, you know, a regular day, I'd ask you if you'd like to have dinner with me.
It's like... It's like I said, you know, I just needed something to come out of this day right.
Um, well, I will need to see you back here in, um, 10 days for a follow-up on that leg.
10 days?
Is that all right?
Sounds like a plan.
That is a plan.
All right. See you in 10 days.
Hmm.
[Sighs] Nick.
Hey.
Dr. Edwards.
Glad I get the chance to say goodbye.
Better make it quick, though.
I'm not letting this kid out of my sight again.
Oh, son of a... wait, wait, hang on. Before you run off.
Uh, I could be totally off base here, but you and I maybe had s...
[Chuckles]
Hmm.
Would you like to maybe hang out sometime?
[Telephone rings]
Wait, really?
Yeah, yeah, I mean... I mean, you'd really want to?
Yeah. [Laughs] I would.
Uh, we could grab a drink or something.
Oh, I-I can't drink. I'm...
Oh, okay. Then coffee.
Coffee's great.
Yeah, I'm all about the coffee.
[Laughs] Perfect.
Cool.
Well, I'm free Friday night.
[Scoffs]
I-I can't. Friday's the junior prom.
You chaperone high-school events, too?
No, I-I go to them.
[Laughs]
17 years old?!
Could you maybe not scream it like that?
[Laughing] Oh, my God. I can't... I can't breathe.
Oh!
I know I told you to expand your horizons, but oh, my...
It was his little sister's class.
He said he was doing this teacher-helper-volunteer thing.
Thought it would look good on his college applications.
[Laughs]
I'm gonna need many more of these.
[Siren wails in distance]
Hey.
Thanks for doing this for me.
These two will look as good as they possibly can before their mother sees them one last time.
Though, it's taking a little longer than I expected.
You okay?
Yeah.
Yeah?
Yeah. I'm fine.
This is totally something Sloan would've done.
Really?
Yeah.
You know, he really did treat me like a son.
Passed everything on.
He got such a charge out it, the plastics posse.
[Both laugh]
It got a little goofy sometimes, honestly, but...
Mm-hmm.
I want to do that.
You know, pass it on to someone, the way he did for me.
Whatever. I don't know if I'm making any sense.
It makes a lot of sense.
Yeah.

Whew. It's cold out here.
It's quiet out here.
Mm.
Ever since you've been back, you guys have been reconnecting.
[Laughs]
Vigorously.
You should have built thicker walls.
[Sighs]
You okay?
What do you mean?
I didn't want to ask you, and I'm not supposed to big-brother you.
And you don't need me to.
There was a robbery, two sh**t, and you declared two men dead.
I kept thinking about Dad.
I wanted to know if you're okay.
I'm happy for you.
That you're back.
That you're making it work.
That you're not running.
What do you mean, "running"?
Hey, I am not judging.
We are runners.
I ran from my engagement. You ran from Addison.
I think...
After Dad... if something scares us, we sprint fast as we can.
But you turned around this time.
That's something.
I'm inspired.
Meredith: Open your eyes.
Take a good look around you.
Did Mom tell you I went to go see her?
No.
Wow. How did that go?
She said I was tired and miserable, which I was.
[Laughs]
Told me to get it together.
[Sighs]
No sympathy.
Oh, no, never.
She said, "Derek, take a good, hard look at your life.
If it's not working, shut up and fix it."
[Laughs]
How's the view?
Do you like what you see?
Amy, I've been missing out on everything in my life.
I mean, I'm watching my kids grow up on a computer.
I don't want to miss my family.
I don't want to miss another second.
I want to coach soccer, go to ballet recitals.
I don't need to change the world.
Clipping aneurysms, stopping bleeds... that's the fun.
That's changing the world with our hands.
Think back again to when you were little.
When did that stop being enough?
Saving someone's life?
Are you living the life you pictured for yourself?
That's more than enough.
I'm glad you're back.
Me too.
I think I'm falling in love with Owen Hunt.
And I'm really afraid that it's gonna destroy me.
It wouldn't be love if it didn't.

Or are you still dreaming of something even bigger?
