Oh.

This… This doesn’t feel right.

Because it’s not. The only reason that I came here, the only reason that we have a baby together is because of Amelia.

Owen.

Amelia, I don’t want to talk to her because every time I do, it just makes me angrier.

Okay?

And I’m exhausted by it.

So I’m done.

Can you pass me the side part, please?

What about therapy?

I go to therapy.

With Teddy?

I don’t need to pay some stranger to sit there and listen to Teddy lie to me.

Would you cut her some slack? She just lost DeLuca.

We all lost DeLuca.

I was standing right across from her the day that he died.

But we don’t all have the luxury of just shutting down completely.

[SIGHS]

I want her to be well.

Obviously I do.

[SIGHS] You know, Leo’s been asking to see his Mama all day and I had to lie to him and say that she’s working because I don’t want him to see her like this.

He needs her, you know?

Allison needs her. But honestly…

Honestly, I don’t.

Owen…

All she’s ever done is lie to me.

That’s all she’s ever done.

She didn’t tell me she was pregnant for months, she cheated on me for weeks before our wedding night, and…

[EXHALES SHARPLY] And you remember Allison?

Teddy’s best friend who died?

The one we named our daughter after?

Well, it turns out that she’s not just her best friend.

She’s the love of Teddy’s life.

And she didn’t mention it to me once in all the decades that we’ve known each other.

Not once.

She just mentioned it as some kind of excuse for all the horrible things that she’s done.

Teddy, you’re gonna have to go through your mom’s stuff or they’re gonna auction it off or… or throw it away.

I would do it for you, but I-I don’t know what to keep.

We played Scrabble.

You mean when you were a kid?

Yes, but also when my dad was dying.

We played for almost…

Almost a year.

He was sick, so we would put the board out on the bed, and…

And me and my dad and my mom.

We played every weekend.

[CHUCKLES] My dad always won.

Until he started to lose.

When he started to lose…

We had time.

We had time to…

To say goodbye? But we didn’t say goodbye.

We cheated so that he could win until he couldn’t play anymore.

And then my mom and I, we just…

Uh, we put the board away.

But even with… With all that time… it just… it… It was unimaginable that he could leave us.

He would never… He would… He would never leave us.

I always wanted a pet.

You mean after he… He died?

No, when I was young.

I wanted a pet, and my dad said no.

He said, “When you get a pet, best-case scenario is that you love that pet with all your heart and then it leaves you ’cause, you know, life span.

So for sure a pet means heartbreak.”

He just… I… I guess he just wanted to protect me.

But he wouldn’t even let me get a gerbil because he didn’t want me to suffer and then he just up and dies at age 58.

But at least we got to play Scrabble.

My mom just…

You can’t pack up her stuff because that would mean she died.

And she can’t have died because she was too young.

And she wasn’t even sick.

And there wasn’t even time for another game.


Okay, I get it.

But I’m gonna need the keys to your mom’s place.

No. No. I am not saying you need go in there and pretend.

I’m saying…

Owen, I-I know that Teddy hurt you badly, and nothing about what she did with Tom is okay.

But…

Owen, she’s Teddy.

You have loved her in some form for decades.

And just the fact that she was in love with Allison…

It’s not the fact that she was in love with her.

It’s the fact that she lied.

Okay? And she lied relentlessly.

For decades.

She said that she’s not over her.

So not only did she cheat on me with Tom Koracick, she’s been in love with someone else our entire relationship.

It’s despicable and she doesn’t deserve my forgiveness.

Despicable? What is wrong with you?

What is wrong with you?

You’re taking her side.

You’re pissed because she has a Cristina, and you don’t like it. Why can’t Teddy be allowed to love more than one person when you have?

I never lied about having past relationships, okay?

She did.

Ask yourself why, Owen!

She probably had PTSD from losing the love of her life in a horrific tragedy.

You of all people should understand that.

Then why didn’t she just tell me that?

Do you walk around telling everyone about how you strangled Cristina?

[SCOFFS]

Wow.

I think you should leave.

Owen, her trauma response is different than yours.

You don’t get to just casually throw in my face the worst thing that I ever did in my life, okay?

I did not do it casually.

No part of you ever, ever thought that you were capable of choking someone that you loved but you did it.

I was asleep, okay?

I-I had PTSD…

So does she, Owen.

So does she!

Sometimes traumatized people lie.

They lie to you.

They lie to themselves.

I couldn’t save them. I should have saved them!

No. Even I know that they couldn’t be saved.

[ECHOING] I don’t know what happened with your parents, but Allison and DeLuca were tragic casualties of circumstances you had no power to control.

And Henry… Henry was already dying when you married him.

I love Owen.

You run from pain.

Your parents died and you ran to Allison.

Allison died, and you joined the Army and ran to Owen.

Owen chose Cristina, you dove into Henry.

This isn’t fair.

And then Owen is with Amelia, and you used Koracick.

Please stop. Stop it.

MEREDITH: You run from pain, Teddy.

Stop it.

We all do it.

Something terrible happens, we blame ourselves and we don’t want to feel it so we run.

[ECHOING] We run from joy too because we think we don’t deserve happiness.

But it’s a package deal.

There is no joy without pain.

Come on, Teddy. Let’s leave this place.

Please don’t die.

I’ll do my best.

[SIGHS] Probably a stupid question.

Just call me if you need me.

Yeah.

Hey, thank you.

For everything. I mean it.

I know you do.

Oh, and especially thank you for helping with that bed.

I’m gonna share credit with Leo.

Alright, just don’t break it if you get mad.

I’m not gonna… Okay, yeah.
