You don't have to leave.

(gasps) It's okay.

Well...

Do you want some breakfast?

You don't have to do this.

I'm sorry. I-I know I'm not supposed to sleep over.

I was just so tired.

I thought I was gonna close my eyes for a second.

It's okay.

It's not. I totally agree with you.

This is casual. It's not about snuggling in the morning.

It's easy. That's me. Easy peasy lemon squeezy.

(cell phone vibrates)

Leah, I was gonna order some food, so if you want some...

I'm fine. I gotta go find a costume for this thing at Joe's tonight, so...

(gasps)

That's right. It's Halloween.

(door opens)

Happy...

(Meredith) Every Halloween we make a choice about what kind of costume we're going to wear... something sexy...

Morning.

Oh, good. Can you take these?

There's a rip in the bottom left.

Oh.

I just finished an appy, and I was going to do it in the 20 minutes before my lap chole.

Mm-hmm.

But I need to get on the phone and order a 3-D printer.

Your grant got approved? That's great.

Yeah, it is, except it's a conflict with a butterfly wing repair.

Well, I need to solve my array problem today.

If I can figure out how to shrink the craniotomy, I should be able to avoid a lot of the infections that we're getting.

Okay, well, this will only take you four minutes.

I know. I'm just telling you about my day.

Oh, well, I did not factor that into the schedule.

And trick-or-treating still on tonight?

Uh, of course, of course.

Maybe we'll be someone scary...

Alex.

Did you get the house ready?

Yep.

Okay. Candy?

No.

Did you get the pumpkins?

No.

Did you put up the spider webs?

No.

Then how is the house ready?

I got the keg.

Oh, you're having a party at the house?

Um, yeah, Alex is letting us use the house to trick-or-treat from because we have no neighbors where we are, so I invited a bunch of families from the day care.

He didn't tell you?

No.

Oh. You should come.

It's fine.

Right. Well, you don't wanna be around a bunch of kids hopped up on sugar anyway, right?

Right.

'Cause I hate children.

Cristina...

But I love your kids.

I should have invited you. I'm sorry. I just thought... but you should come for a drink.

It's at 7:00. She's gonna be a butterfly.

I have to go. I have a lap chole.

Or you could be a superhero, which is what I'm trying to be this year.

(indistinct conversations)

(woman speaking indistinctly over P.A.)

How many fingers?

Three. Hangnail on the index finger.

No side effects? My uncle had lasik, like, three years ago. He still has horrible facial pain And he's basically addicted to painkillers.

Leah.

Well, your uncle probably came back to work too early and didn't take the two days off that the doctor recommended.

I am a second-year resident.

16 hours is already more recovery time than I can afford.

(sighs)

Go work. Leave me alone.

All right.

(kisses)

(woman speaking indistinctly over P.A.)

How's it going with Alex?

Radio silence.

Still?

I think it's over.

Well, I don't believe that, and I have extraordinary vision...

(imitates british accent)

Literally and figuratively.

(laughs) Come on. Time to go round on Webber.

(slam) Ow!

Are you sure you don't want to go home?

(Jo clears throat) (whispers) Okay.

Hey, kids. You got Halloween plans?

(woman) I'll take it.

Yeah, Matthew's having a thing. I'm going as a bunny.

Ooh. Playboy?

Uh, velveteen.

(elevator bell dings) Needs work.

How about you, lone ranger? Are you and Emma going out?

Uh, Emma and I are no longer a thing.

What? Why?

Well, it's just too soon. I'm not ready.

Yes, you are.

Emma doesn't think so, because I never mentioned being married before.

She said, "call me when you're ready."

You're ready. Don't you think he's ready?

Well, maybe he's ready, but he's not ready to call.

What's the difference? He's ready.

You should...

Hmm.

He's not ready.

Not ready.

Hey, um, I have the costume in my car.

What time did you wanna meet?

No, I have the costume.

Oh, please, don't tell me we have two astronaut costumes.

We don't. We have a princess.

What?

Yeah.

You... what... that's what you want...

You want her to strive to be a princess?

No, it's what she wants. It's what she asked for.

No, no, no, no. She told me she wanted to be an astronaut, and that's why I spent three hours last night sewing patches on a little, tiny flight suit.

Yeah, well, I spent the night gluing daisies on a tutu.

Fine. We can hold up the costumes, and she can decide whose work she loves more.

(scoffs) You know what? Forget it. You take her.

(whispers) I'm not doing this.

Are you serious?

(Richard) As the grave.

That is amazing.

What's amazing?

Dr. Webber wants one of us to do his surgery today.

Oh... Not you. N-no offense, but I heard you walked into a wall this morning. (elevator bell dings)

Uh, why not me?

Well, you can supervise.

They know this procedure inside out.

They're-they're ready.

I beg to differ.

(clears throat)

How do you do a transgastric approach?

Anterior gastrotomy for access and cystogastrostomy creation through the posterior wall.

What about the posterior approach?

That is a single gastrotomy in continuity with the pseudocyst.

Very nice, and which is the easiest approach?

It'd have to be the intraluminal approach.

Unless you're a fan of intraoperative bleeding, in which case, do what you like.

I thought I wasn't seeing you until the weekend.

Ah, I couldn't miss trick-or-treating.

Just didn't seem right.

Good man.

That's a bold move, letting the second years try a procedure like this on you. How you gonna pick?

Bailey, watch them in the E.R. today.

Tell me which one deserves it.

None of 'em do, and I don't need to spend a day in the E.R....

Dr. Bailey, that's all.

Get out of here. We're gonna review an intraluminal approach.

(huffs) Come on.

Okay, so, you, me, and Tuck...

We should think of costumes that have three parts, like the three stooges.

I have a witch's hat. I put it on every year and call it a day. (elevator bell dings)

My day is gonna be about which of those three residents is gonna k*ll the most important patient I've ever had.

Halloween was... kind of my family's thing, and I want it to be our family's thing, so go work. I'll figure it out.

You just come with me at the end of the day with that face and that body and the...

(gasps)

I'll figure out what to put on it.

(huffs) (chuckles)

It's a holiday for children, you know.

(woman) Victor Brown...

30-year-old male mauling victim. Vitals are stable.

Let's get him to trauma.

What mauled him?

He-he tackled me. He came out of nowhere.

Wait. Who is "he"?

The guy... he was snarling and growling.

I'm sorry. A person did this to you?

He started eating my face like some sort of...

Zombie?

Murphy? Edwards?

It's the biter. Multiple G.S.W.s to the chest.

B.P. 90 over 60. (grunting)

Pulse in the 120s. He's on something.

How is this guy stable? He's got two b*llet holes over his heart.

Cops shot him before he ate that other guy's whole face off.

And he got 4 of lorazepam. (gurney clacking)

Barely slowed him down.

I want him sedated now.

Push 2 of lorazepam and 5 of haldol.

(drawer opens, objects rustling)

This guy should not be alive.

Guys, I can barely hear his heart.

(growling)

(screaming)

Ow.

Sorry. It's pretty deep.

Just patch me up.

There's no way I'm missing out on Webber's surgery because of a little neck lac.

Oh, yes, you are.

(Jo, Leah, and Stephanie scream)

Where did you come from?

I'm everywhere, and you are not going into an O.R. with an open wound.

You need to get yourself tested and run an infectious panel, including rapid H.I.V. on him and whoever's blood was in his mouth.

Hold up.

(squish) Ow.

Is that a...

Tooth.

One... down.

(emergency radio chatter)

What?

Say "trick or treat."

No.

God, you're no fun sometimes.

Trick or treat. What?

A treat for you.

Well, first of all, the X-rays are backwards.

No, they're not.

The organs are.

No way.

Mm-hmm.

He has situs inversus?

All his organs are completely backwards, mirrored to the normal position.

This guy was shot twice in the chest.

He didn't die. Murphy could barely find a heartbeat, but it turns out his heart was on the other side.

I have wanted to see this since med school.

I know that.

Happy Halloween.

It started last night. She loves Halloween.

She's been in this costume for days.

And I have to go out of town today for work. (cell phone buzzes)

Last trip was Brazil. I got to go, too.

And I couldn't take her with me on this one, so we had Halloween early.

We watched part of a scary movie, and... (buzz)

"Poltergeist." It was awesome.

(chuckles) I paged Dr. Robbins.

No, you paged peds. You got me.

Taryn, I'm Dr. Karev. So, uh, you have a stomachache.

You don't know any magic spells to fix it?

No. Well, we had some candy last night during the movie, and she got sick... a few times.

Candy for dinner. Nice.

Ow.

All right, she has some guarding and a fever, so it's probably not the candy. (buzz)

I'd like to do further testing. Draw labs.

I still get to trick-or-treat, right?

Are you kidding? The best trick-or-treating in Seattle is right here on the peds floor.

You go around with these huge pillowcases.

Everyone hands out as much candy as you can carry.

(lisping) He didn't die.

They shot him in the heart twice, and he didn't die.

I thought he was just crazy.

He was just crazy.

Then why didn't he die?!

I've got a needle right next to your face.

I need you to calm it down, okay?

Is there any pain elsewhere?

It's just sore.

And stiff.

Oh, my god.

Is this rigor mortis?

Victor, zombies aren't real. We know this, right?

You. You should... (monitor beeping rapidly) qua-quarantine...

Victor, squeeze my hand.

Did you hit your head when he att*cked you?

You should quarantine...

Can you smile for me, buddy?

Uh...

No, he's having a stroke.

There's pulsatile mass. Could be damage to the carotid.

Maybe a pseudoaneurysm.

All right, get the ultrasound.

I'm gonna book an O.R.

Mrs. Wiltern?

Uh, Walker. Marge Walker.

Take me home, Philip.

Mom? Uh, sorry. She's a little afraid of hospitals.

Oh. Well, in that case, I'll be very, very gentle, okay?

Uh, it says you hurt your leg?

She says it was a bug bite or something. It got infected, and she says it hurts like heck.

She's been popping ibuprofen like it's candy.

I had to drag her in here.

It's fine. Philip, take me home.

Mom, no. Not until you let her check it out.

Just try to relax, okay?

I'm gonna take a look.

(insect buzzing)

Uh... when did this happen?

About four months ago.

Four months ago?

(gasps)

(steph) maggots.

Gross.

Writhing and pulsing.

We know what maggots are.

At first, they were a little bit blurry because my eyes... I just had eye surgery.

What? What? What are you doing here?

I'm fine.

You shouldn't be seeing patients.

But I wanna be helpful.

Well, great. Then you can go to the store any buy some Halloween candy.

Name brands... none of those smartees or candy corns.

But I'm not supposed to drive.

Luckily, someone invented the bus pass.

Come on, Grey. You're not gonna make her take the bus.

Thank you, Dr. Torres.

There's a shop just up the street. You can walk.

(elevator bell dings)

You're looking for what again?

You know, one of those little head mirrors, that doctors wear.

Ben, you are a doctor.

Have you ever worn one?

No.

Because they stopped using them a century ago. (laughs)

What are they teaching you down there?

Tuck wants to be a mad scientist tonight.

He should have one of those little head mirror things.

Well, I have a brain in a jar.

But I wanna give him a costume, not a nightmare.

What did he do to you?

Torres and I are working on thought control prosthetics.

I'm trying to figure out a way to insert the sensors through a smaller craniotomy.

Ohh. You should be ashamed of yourself.

I'm sorry? Oh, well, that's for Zola tonight.

It was ripped. I fixed it.

(scoffs) Yeah, if you call this fixed.

Yeah, I could do a running whipstitch so smooth the butterfly would never even know there'd been a rupture.

What are you teaching up here?

(gasping and groaning)

I would like to take a biopsy to see if the infection's gotten into the bone.

And we are gonna need to take you down to the O.R. to clean the parasites out of that wound.

No! No! Take me home!

Mom.

Take me home!

No, no, no. Mom. Mom. Mom.

We-we can give you a sedative to ease the anxiety.

No! No needles! No needles! Just go away!

Just leave me alone! Don't! Just go away! Don't... oh! (cries)

She's always hated doctors, but it's gotten out of control since my dad died.

I don't want to sound cruel, but can't you just put her in restraints and give her a sedative or something?

Well... I have an idea. I'm going to the gift shop. I'll be back.

Uh, put her in bed 3. Get an X-ray of the ankle.

(groans) Bed 5 should be empty.

Get a rapid influenza. Could be the flu.

Right away, doctor.

Uh, ma'am?

(labored breathing)

I'm waiting for my doctor.

Well, I'm your doctor now, so...

What's your doctor's name? Maybe I can find them.

Dr. Brooks.

Heather Brooks.

I'm sorry. She's not here.

Yes, she is.

She's always here.

(labored breathing, wheezing)

She said she'll only see Heather Brooks.

Can I tell her about Heather?

You wanna tell a sick old lady her favorite doctor is dead?

That seem like a good idea to you?

No. It's just, she's pretty insistent on seeing Dr. Brooks.

Then tell her it's not possible and treat her yourself.

Um... where is she?

I don't know. She was right there a second ago.

(scoffs)

Uh, Murphy's bitten, Edwards is blind, and you're bonkers.

No! I...

Another one down.

(elevator bell dings)

(indistinct conversations)

Holy...

Ma'am, I'd like to get you started on medication.

I need to know your name so we can get you registered.

(raspy voice)

No, I'll... I'll wait for doctor...

Dr. Brooks isn't here. I am.

Just tell me your name.

If you don't, I'll have to go through all Dr. Brooks' charts.

How about you save me all that trouble and tell me your name?

She'll come.

(wheezes)

(telephone rings)

(Owen) Okay, I'm tracking one of the b*ll*ts through the accessory lobe.

(suction gurgling) That's the middle lobe.

Right. Right.

It's the right lung.

Mm-hmm. (scoffs)

This is like... driving in England.

(chuckles) You know, I had to keep thinking about every move that I make.

It's gonna take twice as long as it should.

Okay.

You got plans tonight?

(sighs) Meredith semi-invited me to this babyfest tonight.

But I can't tell if she really wants me to go or if she just felt she had to ask.

It's so complicated.

Right?

She and I just used to know what the other one was thinking.

I meant this.

(monitor beeping rapidly)

There's still bleeding in the upper lobe.

(suction gurgling)

I need more proximal control.

Duval lung clamp.

Straight vascular clamp, please.

Okay. Oh, watch out for the s....

Ah.

V.C.

Nicked the S.V.C. It shouldn't even be there!

I got you this so you don't have to shut your eyes so tight.

And you don't have to see. You wanna try it?

(siren wailing in distance)

Oh. Yeah.

So let's forget we're in a hospital.

Let's talk about Halloween.

Do you get a lot of kids at your house?

No.

Oh. Too bad.

All the kids in the neighborhood are Philip's age.

They're all grown up and gone.

But when he was little...

(Chuckles) it was nuts.

A real madhouse, huh?

Yeah, kids everywhere.

Philip loved it... His favorite holiday.

He always needed a costume they didn't sell in the stores....

(rails clank))

And I always needed to make it.

What's happening? (rails click)

It's okay. We're just, uh, we're gonna take a little walk.

We're gonna go down to the O.R. and get you a gown.

Is that okay?

Yeah. Yeah, fine.

It's okay.

(whimpers) It's gonna be okay.

So... you made all his costumes from scratch, huh?

What did he go as?

Well, one year, he went as an aardvark.

(indistinct conversations, siren wailing in distance)

Taryn's labs show a slightly elevated white count, and some of her electrolytes are off.

Is she gonna be here overnight?

It's just that her dad wants to know if he should change his flight.

Yeah, his 8-year-old has a potentially surgical abdomen.

She needs a C.T. she's in pain. He should change his flight.

Dude, what is your problem?

I know you think he's an ass, but he's not.

He's not your dad.

Don't even...

What?

Pretend that you're not angry And hurt and about to explode?

I've been doing that. It's not working.

Tell me what I can do to make this better.

Just get a C.T. (clipboard clatters)

(wheels clacking) (chuckles)

So I thought the second one would be easier, but it's just like having one all over again, except now there are two.

So you're twice as exhausted. (chuckles)

(chuckles) (lowered voice)

Okay, we're all set.

Okay. Okay, Marge, we're in the O.R. (gasps)

And we are ready to operate.

You'll be here the whole time, Meredith? The whole time.

Okay. Yes.

I'm ready.

Okay.

You know, if you segmented the wings, then she'd flap when she moved.

She just has to look like a butterfly.

She doesn't actually have to fly.

How'd you swing the time off?

You know, I, uh, I just made it happen.

Halloween was always my favorite night as a kid, and I just wanted to spend it with my family, you know?

You're so domesticated.

(chuckles)

You're suturing a butterfly costume.

You know, uh...

You know, if we attach this to her wrist with strings, it'd sort of fan out.

That's a brilliant idea.

Right. It's totally worth it.

Yeah, keep stitching.

They're incompetent. It's not their fault, because it's how they were raised.

These days, parents think all of their kids are geniuses.

And everyone gets a trophy just for being on the soccer team.

And... they're not the problem.

You are.

I'm trying to teach them, and you won't let them learn.

I can barely get out of this bed.

I can't operate.

Who knows if I ever will?

The only thing that gives me some meaning.

Hell, some days the only thing that keeps me going... is teaching them.

And-and you're standing in the way of that.

So I'm gonna have someone else supervise 'em.

You're not kicking me off this case.

Yes, I am.

This is why when I fire someone, I like to do it in their office.

So I can walk out.

Walk out, Bailey.

Now.
(equipment clattering, suction gurgling) Wow, there is barely any necrotic tissue here.

The maggots might have actually saved her leg.

Well, remind me to send them flowers.

We may actually make trick-or-treating tonight.

Yeah, about that... I'm, uh... I'm bowing out tonight.

Arizona and I can't be in the same room for more than five minutes before everything devolves into g*nf*re and screaming.

Sofia has been so excited about Halloween.

I'm not about to let her mommies' bickering ruin it.

So... taking one for the team.

Are you sure? (singsongy)

There's gonna be a piñata...

Shut up.

And pin the head on the skeleton.

Damn it!

They're so cute when they're blindfolded.

Bobbing for apples.

Aw!

(chuckles) They're even cuter when they bob!

I'll take pictures.

Dr. Grey, it's Dr. Webber.

He's asking whether you have room on your schedule for a cystogastrostomy.

Maybe Derek can take pictures.

(mouth full) Did you get your labs back?

Nope.

The post exposure counselor gave me this cheerful little pamphlet on anti-viral dr*gs to read while I'm waiting.

She said in case I do have H.I.V., It might not be a bad idea to start taking them now.

You probably don't have H.I.V.

I might.

I might never see again.

You probably will. My uncle can.

You said he's in constant pain.

Horrible pain.

He had to give up his accounting practice.

He can't do math.

I'm not gonna be able to be a surgeon anymore.

(mouth full) The counselor said there are plenty of other health care jobs available apart from surgery. (cell phone beeps)

Like what?

Like post-exposure counseling.

But I won't know which pamphlets to hand out if I can't read them.

We're screwed.

(whispers) So screwed.

Ugh! That's one jacked up carotid.

Yeah, let's go ahead and prep the synthetic graft.

(woman) Okay. Starting it now.

(cell phone chimes) It's yours, Dr. Avery... from Dr. Edwards.

She wants to know if you think she should call the... lasagna pleasant?

That's, like, her 15th misspelled text.

She's scared.

Tell her not to call, everything's gonna be fine, and to keep using her eyedrops.

You know what? And tell her that she's beautiful.

(suction gurgling)

What?

(scoffs) Who are you?

You were never that nice to me when I would spin out.

Well, maybe... I am trying to be a better boyfriend now.

No, no, it helped that you were an ass.

It made me get my act together.

I'm gettin' married, and I'm saving this guy's life and his face.

And that's all because of me.

(scoffs)

Damn it.

I mean this was supposed to be fun, you know?

You're overcomplicating it.

Just tell your left hand to do what your right hand usually does.

Haven't you practiced operating with both hands?

Yeah.

Upside down, underwater...

I-I pra...

In a straightjacket.

Yes, I have practiced with both hands, but I can't just...

Cut.

(instruments clank) See?

Simple.

I'm sorry. I can't do it.

Meredith, I just need you to observe while a...

I understand what you're asking me...

Meredith.

Page the general surgeon that's on call.

I don't have the time.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry for saying that you were the wrong choice to be in charge of my care, for saying that you should have let me die.

(sighs) I'm sorry for ever feeling that way.

Because I've remembered what it is to live for.

I would have never gotten here if it hadn't been for you.

So I'm sorry.

Meredith, please. Help me teach them.

(elevator bell dings in distance)

(scribbling)

What is that, a fan?

Yeah, exactly. The array is a fan.

Now if I can get the fan to go in through a burr hole and open up under the skull, the whole area would be covered with a fraction of the exposure.

(chuckles) How has no one ever thought of this yet?

How have I never thought of this yet?

You don't look like you're regretting stepping back from surgery at all. It's only been a week, but, uh, no.

What's the rush?

I got the kid's C.T.

You wanna fill me in?

Adrenal glands are enlarged, coupled with high potassium, low glucose... adrenal insufficiency.

Her body's not producing enough adrenaline?

I'm glad you can read.

(pushes button) But there's no tumor.

Unless it's an infection, maybe blastomycosis.

Oh, god, her... her dad mentioned that they just went to Brazil.

What, are you kidding me?

You didn't think you should put that in her chart?

(continues pushing button) (sighs)

(panting) (sighs) What the hell?

Thanks for your help, and I'm sorry about the last-minute cancellation.

Where is she?

She was just here.

She was asking about trick or treating around the hospital, and I just stepped out to change my flight...

You couldn't keep an eye on her for five minutes?

What's-what's going on?

Taryn's body isn't producing adrenaline.

You know what adrenaline does?

It keeps your organs from going into shock and shutting down when you get hurt or traumatized or scared.

You said that she started to feel sick last night watching the scary movie?

She wanted to watch it.

She's wandering through the hospital on Halloween.

Look, if... if something frightens her, she could go into shock.

She can get scared... to death?

(sighs) We gotta go find her. (sighs)

I'm looking for a crazy lady with weird eyes.

Too soon, Shane.

No, seriously, she disappeared again.

She was Heather's patient, and she won't tell me her name.

And there's no record of her anywhere.

And every time I go to find her, she's gone.

(voice trembling)

Whoa... well, maybe she's a ghost.

Forget it.

(chuckles) Stop. She's probably a stray.

Heather was always taking them in... the... the homeless, the uninsured.

(bumps door)

(wheels rolling)

(indistinct conversations)

(man speaking indistinctly on TV)

Trick or treat.


Eh.

...With gusts up to 40 miles per hour.

Cloudy and continuing windy overnight...


(wheels continue rolling)

Trick or treat. (gasping loudly)

(door creaks)

(panting)

(continues gasping loudly)

(continues panting) Ohh!

(wheezing)

(woman wheezing)

Get me D-10 normal saline and bring a crash cart right away!

(woman) I'll get it.

Taryn, can you hear me?

(woman) Dr. Karev?

Give me that gurney!

Right away, doctor.

She's in shock from adrenal crisis.

(voice strained) Get me her blood pressure, and get those fluids started.

I'm on it.

(woman) Let's get her legs elevated.

(continues wheezing)

Expiratory wheezing, get her on 5-liter O2.

(woman) Systolic's 60.

I need an I.V. hydrocortisone and a central line kit.

Have the P.I.C.U. get a bed ready, and get her to the E.R.

(woman) Right away. (continues wheezing)

This doesn't look like a hospital.

We've taken all of the unnecessary medical equipment out of the room.

And Philip is bringing some more of your things from home.

And I've even put a sign on the door, so all the doctors and staff will respect your privacy.

Okay, um... (sighs) do you want me to stay?

Don't you have kids to get to for Halloween?

Yeah, but you... you know, it's okay. I'm...

Oh, no.

You don't want to miss it.

You only get ten before they go off on Halloween with their friends, getting into trouble.

(chuckles) You gotta enjoy it while you can.

(Banks' "change" playing)

That wasn't so bad, was it?

Yeah, and you can make it to your party, if you you're going. (water running)

I am. You know, I'll show up.

I'll have a beer. Mer and I will talk, and we'll move past this whole thing.

Good. (cell phone chimes)

Oh.

Oh, it's Meredith.

"If you're coming to the party, could you bring cupcakes?"

"If not, no problem."

What does that mean?

Um... it's no problem if I don't go, or no problem if I don't bring cupcakes?

And if I don't go, then there's no cupcakes?

Or will someone else bring them?

And if someone else is bringing them, why is she even asking me?

Don't overcomplicate it.

Just go.

The cortisone will prevent another adrenal crisis.

Taryn should make a full recovery.

I never would have taken her to Brazil with me if I had known she could get sick.

I know.

And the movie... she loves scary movies.

It... it was one bad call.

That's all it was, just one bad call.

I'm a good dad.

Don't let what Dr. Karev said... (sighs)

He's just... he's so good with kids but just so crappy with other people.

He knows you're a good dad.



(sighs deeply)

Is my face fixed?

Not quite yet. Our first priority was repairing your injured carotid, Which was damaged when you were att*cked.

Oh, god.

The zombie... where is he?

No.

He's-he's not quarantined? Is that where this is?

I... I've been quarantined, haven't I?

Oh, god, I knew it.

I saw this thing on cable about these rituals in Haiti, and I thought they were all crap, but you've got me quarantined.

Except you're not quarantined.

Which means...

This is the I.C.U....

You wouldn't tell me the truth anyway.

They've got you on a gag order, don't they?

Because that's what they do... the C.D.C....

Okay.

They-they don't want you to tell me the truth...

Hey, Victor! Victor, hey!

Because otherwise, you...

Hey, hey! Listen to me!

Victor, you are not under quarantine.

You are in the I.C.U., which is where we take patients after surgery.

You were att*cked by a normal guy who took a bunch of dr*gs, lost his mind, and att*cked you.

He didn't die when he was shot because he's got a condition called situs inversus, which put his heart on the opposite side of his chest.

That's... that's random.

Yeah, completely random, and also not in the least bit supernatural.

And really, honestly, when you think about it, isn't that, like, a hundred times scarier than some... zombie apocalypse?

Yeah.

Yeah, okay, I guess it is.

Hmm.

Okay.

(lowered voice)

See, someone starts spinning out, you just shut it down.

But, you know, you can still tell him he's pretty, if you want to. (sighs)

(indistinct conversations, siren wailing in distance)

Fix the wings?

Yes, and changed the future of science.

I figured out the sensor array.

I insert it into a 2-centimeter burr hole.

Great!

Well, I have to find a resident to do Webber's pseudocyst, or I'm not even gonna make it to trick or treat.

Go. See you at the house.

Okay.

(woman) Dr. Mahoney to the E.R. Dr. Mahoney to the E.R.

Shane...

You win... Webber's pseudocyst.

Let's go, Shane. Suit up. Big leagues. (claps hands)

I...

I have a patient.

Could I talk to you about Alex?

(elevator bell dings)

Yes, I know a place we can go where no one will interrupt us.

(girls) Trick or treat!

(rustling)

(woman) Hey, kids, slow down!

(girl) Becca, hurry!

(monster growls, evil laughter)

(thunder rumbling)

(woman screams)


(closes door)

(Tuck) Boo! (chuckles) Aah!

(groaning) Oh, my goodness.

(gasps)

(switch clicks) Welcome to my laboratory.

Aah! (chuckles) It's great.

Mommy, Ben did all this.

Look, there's even smoke!

Oh, I see! (chuckles)

Well, I-I had some help.

(chuckles) Well, look at you.

Dr. Crazy person.

You look so good!

Okay, go and get your trick or treat bag now.

(chuckles) (chuckles)

(sighs) Huh?

I told you, this is my holiday.

You are amazing.

(both moan)

He's so happy. (chuckles)

We had fun. You know, we should do stuff like this all the time.

(chuckles) Yeah, he'd love that.

I would, too.

Right?

I mean, this holidays and weekends crap...

I want to be back here in Seattle with you guys.

Yeah, I know.

But, well, you can't drop out of residency in the middle.

Um...

In a few years, we'll...

I did.

I quit.

You what?

Hey, have you seen Wilson?

'Cause I need to get an update on...

(sniffling) What's wrong?

Nothing's wrong. I'm fine.

You're crying.

(voice breaking) It's nothing. I'm fine.

(sniffles) I got bit... by a delusional, psychotic drug addict who think he's the undead.

And I'm waiting for the guy's H.I.V. results.

Why didn't you tell me?

I'm trying to be easy peasy.

I can't?

Telling me is the worst thing you could do.

Uh, listen, um...

I wasn't ready to talk about Cristina before, because things between she and I were always so... complicated.

And I can't... I can't do complicated right now.

I don't even want to think about complicated, and that is what is so great about you, is that you're, you know, you're so easy.

Emma?

Hi.

Hey.

How'd she do?

Fantastic.

Almost as if she had a great teacher.

Take me through it. I want to hear every detail.

Well, in the interest of education, why don't we let Dr. Wilson do that?

I like the way you think, Grey.

Okay, well, um, we started your incision using...

No, no. Start from the very beginning. where'd you place the ports?

Well, um, we took a look at your previous incision and decided to place the xiphoid port lateral to that.

Halloween is not for the faint of heart.

(laughter)

There's a surprise around every corner.

Good for you.

I have to go back in six months to get tested again to be sure, but it's looking good.

Bummer.

Mmm!

Ooh, I'm screwed! I'm so screwed.

I really might never operate again, and it's my fault.

I went and had surgery on my eyes because my glasses were just a little bit annoying, and then I went back to work too soon because I thought I might get a little bit behind, which is so stupid.

Yeah. Pretty stupid.

What? You knew that I was gonna take the whole day off with you, right?

We could have spent the entire day at home on the couch while I made you chicken soup and you watched movies and slept it off.

I was wrong about your dad.

I made a bad call.

I should have let you walk away, but I never would have pushed you towards him if I thought that you'd end up hurt.

I didn't see it coming.

You did, and I am so sorry.

But it was one crappy call.

That's all.

So what'll it be... trick... or treat?

Get in, before the trick-or-treaters think that I'm home.
