What was that?
- Don't push! - Oh, my God.
- Hurry up! - Get away from the building!
When a patient consents to surgery,
they're not just trusting their lives to a surgeon.
They're trusting an entire team.
An anesthesiologist must continually monitor sedation,
respiratory and heart rate, blood pressure.
Let's go! Let's go! Come on.
Hustle, hustle, hustle.
- Be careful. - Clear. Come on. Get out.
- Sir, you can't enter. - You don't understand.
You need to evacuate now! You need to evacuate now!
- No! Go back! - A first assist
suctions and returns,
helping with every suture and staple.
A scrub tech organizes and hands over surgical tools,
saving valuable seconds and blood spilled.
And circulating nurses document the case,
keeping track of who touches the patient, what's used and when.
Help! Help us!
We need some help in here! Help!
Somebody help us! We need help!
Every member of the team shares
responsibility in the patient's survival.
If someone's not there... you're in trouble.

If you don't sit still for one damn...
- Dr. Webber! - The elevators are shut down.
This department exits through the east stairwell.
Sir.
Everybody stay calm. That's the generators kicking in.
People, keep your phones on for updated evacuation alerts.
- Has anyone gotten through to the... - Dr. Webber.
- What? - It's the acetylene tank.
It wasn't empty. It was leaking gas the entire time.
Oh, my God.
I need to speak to that fire chief right now.
You're going nowhere but downstairs so we can evaluate that head.
We don't have time. I need to lock this hospital down again.
You're gonna do it on the way. Come on.
All patients on the 3rd floor and above will
be moved to a secure area.
We need full cooperation from everyone.
Do not leave the marked safe zones.
Seattle Fire is working quickly
to assess the structural integrity of the north side of the building.
If we remain calm, our patients will. Thank you.
How can I help?
We're evacuating the CCU, that includes Nora Young.
She's too critical to stay here, so I want to transfer her to Seattle Pres.
- Teddy. - Head upstairs.
Uh, that woman was my patient's mother.
We don't know that it's related.
If Dylan's outcome had been better... If... If I had been better, I...
- Amelia. - Put me somewhere I can help.
I will evacuate patients, triage, whatever you need, please.
Okay, Richard has sustained a head lac.
He is heading down to the ER. He will need a neuro evaluation.
Here you go. Thank you.
Hi, Nick, it's me.
Listen, something happened at the hospital.
And you're gonna hear about it on the news,
but just know that I'm okay.
- I love you. - Can't let you in.
ER's completely full. Fire department's orders.
Okay, well, I'm Meredith Grey, and I work here.
Badge, please.
I've worked here for a really long time. I am a surgeon.
My name's on the building...
- Meredith Grey. - Badge, please.
You know, can you just call Teddy Altman or Richard Webber?
Is your phone broken?
There's people out here that are injured.
- Fire department says... - Where are they supposed to go?
Some transfers are going to Seattle Pres,
otherwise we need to wait for beds to clear.
What if they don't have that time? - Fire department says...
Yes, you've said it. I understand.
What...
- Are... Do you all work here? - Uh, in eight hours, we do, yeah.
We just finished our intern orientation.
We wanna help, but the guy won't let us in
u-until we are officially activated.
Oh, good. Someone who knows what she's doing.
- Okay, follow me. - Yeah.
- The rest of you try to find gurneys. - Uh, where are the gurneys?
- Where's your fancy white coat? - Not the time.
- It's locked. - What?
Give me that IV pole.
You need it for a patient or something? Okay.
Stand back.
Oh!
Whoo! Clinic's open.
All right. That's one way to do it. Come on, guys. Come on.
Patients need to be evacuated from the OR.
Stretchers are over here. We go in in teams of four.
If anybody gets lightheaded or has shortness of breath,
say something immediately.
Hunt, Hunt, have you seen Miranda?
Normally, she texts me when she's headed into surgery,
but maybe she got pulled into something.
By the time I got up here, SFD had already started moving.
Well, I heard the blast was in OR 2. Was anyone in there?
We can check the OR schedule.
I'm not going anywhere until I find her.
Keep the hose line steady at the stairwell door.
Ben.
Come here, baby.
You okay? You're okay?
I'm... I'm okay, but Lincoln is not. Come.
- Extra manpower! Stretchers! - Come on.
The two-and-and-a-half inch!
Damn.
There he is.
It's okay.
Jo... Jo was going home.
She went home, right? She wasn't in the building?
No, I saw her leave. She's safe. Do you want me to call her?
No, no. She'll wanna come here. It's not safe.
Her blood pressure and the babies. We'll call her when we have to.
Obvious blunt trauma to the chest, systolics in the high 90s.
- Heart rate's been hovering in the 110s. - Okay.
Link. Link, does it hurt more on one side?
It's pretty excruciating across the board,
but, um, I can't feel my right arm, so start there.
Yeah, Ben.
Okay, okay.
- Okay. - Here we go.
- No, stop. We need to stop. - Why? What's happening?
Somebody say something.
I think a piece of the ceiling has penetrated below your clavicle.
Well, you gotta get it out. Please g-get it out.
- Stay calm. - Try not to panic.
- You gotta get it out. - Link, try not to panic.
Get this thing off me.
- It's too heavy. - No kidding.
Help! Hello!
Um. Okay, so are you having trouble breathing?
No. No, I just... I think part of my pelvis is shattered.
I'm more worried about Parker.
Your patient needs you. Go.
Uh...
Okay, no burns, um, no shrapnel injuries.
Good. How are his vitals?
They're holding steady for now.
There's no bleeding
- at the port site. - Hello! Anyone in there?
- Yes! Help! - Yes! We're in here, help!
We're working on getting you out! Just stay calm!
O2's tanking. We need, uh...
How are we going to keep Parker alive if we don't have anesthesia?
We can't panic. Not yet.
Tell me there's news.
Fire chief said he doesn't know the extent of the fire,
the damage, or how long until it's contained.
- Fatalities? - At least one.
- Hmm. - A patient on the OR floor.
- I wanna call the family myself. - Of course.
- How are you feeling? - I keep telling everyone I'm fine.
There's no sign of TBI or concussion on physical exam,
but we should still scan you to rule out intracranial bleeding.
It can manifest up to ten hours after the impact.
Look, I'll take my chances, okay?
- Get me out of here. - Where do you think you're going?
- This hospital is on fire. - And you think you're gon' put it out?
You can manage this from here.
She's right. The scan will only take a few minutes.
All right, please keep your phone on.
I will call you with any updates.
Uh, uh, Dr. Altman. Where do you need me?
Uh, help Kwan upstairs with evacuations.
I've got to call Jackson.
If you get out of that bed,
there'll be hell to pay, Richard Webber.
Rapid response teams,
report to CCU for immediate...
Hey. I had to sneak in through the maintenance entrance.
- Are you okay? - It's just a scratch.
Okay. Have you seen Link?
He's not answering his phone. He was heading into surgery and...
Where is he?
He's on the OR floor.
They're bringing him down as fast as they can, okay?
He's with Hunt and Bailey.
All right.
There's a rig standing by to take him to Seattle Pres.
Oh, my God.
Ndugu, tell these guys I need more morphine.
It's on the way. Oh. We need that blood.
- Here, here, here. - You're thinking subclavian injury?
No telling what else. We need to extricate him to fully assess.
We need to give the blood and fluid a chance to work...
We need to get off this floor ASAP.
We don't know it's structurally stable.
This piece could be tamponading something.
If we remove it too quickly, he could bleed out.
BP's still unstable.
He's not responding to blood alone. Hunt's right.
- We're running out of time. - Okay, okay.
Okay. Ready?
Okay, on my count. Okay, one, two, three.
- Pressure. - We need to clamp.
On it. All right, move, move, move. Go, go, go. Go.
Let me get in here.
All right. Do you see anything?
Yep, got it.
If I'm going to Seattle Pres, we better start moving.
Guys, the elevators are out.
Then we take the stairs.
Okay.
Talk to me.
I'm only getting breath sounds on the right-hand side.
Maybe a left pneumothorax?
Okay, are there any signs of blunt trauma?
Um, I don't see anything.
Then I'm betting the ET tube
got pushed further into his bronchus
with the blast.
I could try repositioning it?
Okay. Yeah, jus-just keep bagging
and pull the tube back slowly, and then listen.
Okay.
Uh...
I have bilateral breath sounds.
- And his O2 sats improving. - Nice work, Millin.
How's your pain?
- Oh, I can barely feel it. - We need to get you out of here.
We need to get Parker out of here before his anesthesia wears off.
We need to get you both out of here. What is taking so long?
Th... They're-They're working on it.
For now, we need to get his incisions closed up.
And by we, I mean you.
Hey, Altman sent me to help.
I'm glad you're not dead.
Nora Young. Altman and Ndugu built her
a new aorta out of nothing two hours ago.
Her MAPs need to be above 65 and below 80 for the entire transport.
- What happens if they don't? - Too low, she dies.
Too high, her new aorta blows, and she dies.
Fun.
Hey, have you seen Simone? She's not answering my texts.
Uh, not since the locker room. Also, I haven't seen Millin.
So, are you and Simone back together?
- Yeah. - Yep. Great. Good for you.
She's a bit tachy.
Let's give her another bolus before we move.
Code red, 6th floor.
Evacuate all patients and staff via stairwell.
I'm sure she's fine.
Code red, 6th floor.
Evacuate all patients and staff via stairwell.
Yeah.
- Are we clear? - Yes.
Okay.
Start with the left side.
Hey, uh, Dr. Grey told me to find a Griffith.
Point me to Griffith.
It's Dr. Griffith.
Doc... Okay. When was there
time for me to learn that last night?
Go. G... Assess the woman in bed 3.
Okay.
- Baseball cap, I need a Doppler. - Right. Doppler.
- Uh... - Right here.
Six...
Hey, um, I think maybe you can just ask me for stuff from now on.
Why is that?
Uh... I just... I mean...
- Oh, sorry. - Right. Okay, interns.
Everyone over here. Quickly, please.
Okay, listen up.
Okay, I'm not asking anyone to perform a Whipple.
Put patients in beds, take down information.
It's basic triage. You've all matched with Grey-Sloan for a reason.
Show me why. Do we have any questions?
Um...
Hi. Hi. Um... I'm Dani, Dani Spencer.
- Dr. Spencer. - Right. Right. Um...
What if you have a patient who sustained blunt trauma to the abdomen
and is now experiencing some delayed pain?
Which patient is that?
Me.
Let's get her in a bed.
Come on, let's move,
let's move. Get them out. Get them out.
Careful. Watch his lines.
Uh... H-Have you picked out names for the girls?
Jo told you before me, didn't she?
- Uh... No. - Your twins are girls?
- Yikes. - Congratulations.
Oh, those girls are gonna have you wrapped around their little baby fingers
- before you've even blinked. - I can't wait.
Stop, stop. We need to stop. Okay.
Uh...
Shoot. Okay, so we need a plan B.
We just need to keep moving.
And I just need you to look at all the blood on the damn stairs.
Think he's really gonna make it to Seattle Pres?
Well, the CCU is one floor down. We could operate there.
- They evacuated it. - I'm waiting for a better idea.
Let's go. Come on, come on.
Let's go. Be careful. Go with care, but we gotta go.
If you clip my heels one more time...
Nora's pump will get to Seattle Pres before she does.
She's the chief's miracle patient. I'm not trying to kill her.
Uh... Tube's still in. Nothing's out of place.
The screen says "high volume." What do you know about ventilators?
Okay, uh, the pressure control has a set inspiratory pressure, right?
Yeah, but tidal volume can vary.
Okay, maybe we switch the setting to volume control?
Or maybe we just call a resident from Anesthesia.
Screw it.
How did you know that would work?
I didn't.
Let's go.
Attention, Engineering. Report to the East Lobby.
- Some bruising on the right flank. - Mm-hmm.
She said a gurney slammed into her.
Not here. On the sixth floor.
It happened during the blast, or explosion, or whatever that was.
And you didn't tell anyone about it?
Um... Technically, I wasn't supposed to be up there.
I wanted a selfie in an OR.
Um, we finished onboarding,
and I just wanted to take a picture and show it to my dad
because he's so proud of me.
He's ironed my white coat, like, three times for tomorrow.
I can still start tomorrow, right?
Well, we have to make sure the hospital's still standing first.
- Right. - Ultrasound.
Uh, can I do it? Just for, you know, learning purposes.
Not unless you're gonna go in vaginally.
This is normally a reproductive clinic.
This is beyond humiliating.
Well, half the battle of intern year is
standing out from the rest of your class.
So you're ahead of the game.
Okay, ready?
Right, tell me what you see.
Take your time, go slow.
Yeah.
There's some free fluid in Morrison's pouch.
Yeah, but nowhere else. She seems stable.
Okay. As soon as we have access to the hospital, she will need a scan.
Until then, keep a very close eye on her.
Welcome to Grey-Sloan.
Okay, I've completed the periumbilical incision.
- Now what? - Now you close the lateral port sites.
He's getting more hypertensive and tachycardic.
- Oh, God. Is he waking up? - Is he distended?
Oh... Okay.
Okay, he might be bleeding internally.
He wasn't bleeding from the incisions.
But the move from the blast could've nicked something.
It could've been building slowly.
You're gonna have to open him up.
Absolutely not. We're running out of anesthesia.
Yeah, that's why you have to move fast.
I... I-I haven't done a solo procedure
on an adult, let alone a six-year-old.
Millin. We always do this.
You always panic spiral, and I always snap you out of it,
and we really don't have time for that right now.
So unless you wanna see that sweet little boy die,
I suggest you open him up. Right now.
Scalpel.
Keep the second trauma bay open.
We may have to reroute more post-op criticals.
Should I transfer Dylan Gatlin?
This wasn't her fault, and I don't
want her to become the headline in this.
All right. Well... we can try,
but Seattle Pres has already taken 15 of our CCU patients.
I hear that they're triaging patients in the hallways.
Did we confirm if we lost any more patients on the OR floor?
I can't share that information with you right now.
Richard's scan came back negative.
There's no clinical change. That's a good thing.
I'll take that. And I'm still waiting to hear about Link's status.
Link. What happened to Link?
Trauma two needs to be transferred to Seattle Pres.
We could see if they need some help.
I thought you said your wife said you couldn't get out of bed.
Do you see my wife?
Bailey?
Hi. Before you say anything,
I sound way worse than I am.
Where are you? I wanna find you.
That's not safe.
If anybody lets you up here, I'm gonna take 'em out.
Or maybe start a rumor or something. I don't know. I know dirty stuff.
I love you.
I love you, and I love our kids.
And I feel... I feel pretty damn stupid
it took me so long to get my crap together to tell you that.
Just tell me when you come down here.
Yeah.
- We need to keep moving. - We will.
Hey, it's gonna be okay, but, um... but just in case,
my password book is in the second left drawer of my desk.
- What? - And get a dog.
Link, what are you doing?
It'll drive Amelia crazy because we keep telling Scout no,
- but get a damn dog. - Can you stop?
And find one with big paws
'cause, uh... 'cause big paws means it's a big dog.
It's protection for my girls.
- Link? - Okay. Start compressions.
- Come on. - Bailey? Bailey?
Someone tell me what's happening. Link?
Okay. This is the last unit.
- He's in hemorrhagic shock. - Something else is going on.
Maybe his rib fractures caused a lung injury.
Could be a tension pneumo as well.
Yeah, let's decompress him. You have a 14-gauge angiocath in there?
- Yeah, I got you. - Okay, I'll hold his arm. Okay.
- Could you hold that for me? - Yeah.
- There's a weak pulse. - Yeah, but he's still really hypotensive.
He needs a chest tube. Let's get him to CCU right now.
I'll stabilize the angiocath. Can someone grab his legs?
- Yep. - All right.
I'll help at the head.
- Ready. - One, two, three.
I can't find where the bleed is coming from.
I'm gonna have to tell the mother of this kid
- that I killed her child... - Come on, Millin. Focus.
I think it's coming from the mesentery, but I'm not sure.
Okay, clamp it and then look around for bleeding in another area.
Okay. All right. Okay.
Clamp is in place.
You know, I had my first solo surgery on a kid
when I was a second-year like you.
My attending just handed me a scalpel
and left to take a nap in the OR next door.
Please tell me that this story has a happy ending.
The patient's name was Demetrius.
He was four years old, and he loves Spider-Man.
I mean, he, uh... he asked me to
surgically implant webs into his wrists.
- That was the surgery? - No, it was a bowel resection.
Poor guy had an obstruction, but he did great.
And, uh, I did great.
I was so terrified. I almost passed out.
But then I... then I got to tell his parents he was okay.
There is nothing better than the hug you get from a grateful mom.
I mean, that... that makes you feel like a superhero.
Bleeding stopped.
His vitals are improving.
Uh, what stitch do I use to ligate?
What do you think?
Um, 3-0 silk?
See? You don't even need me.
140 over 90. Yeah, it's still a little high.
Just keep taking deep breaths.
We've only been married 36 hours.
Link's tux is still on the bathroom floor. His parents were just here.
His parents.
Do I call them? What do I even say?
We see miracles here every day.
I haven't given up hope yet, and neither should you.
He's the only family that I have.
Now, you know that's not true.
Dr. Lloyd to the ER. Dr. Emily Lloyd to the ER.
- We work well together. - What we did was wrong.
And it wouldn't have ever happened if I had known that you...
- You were my boss? - Eh!
- What? - Say it louder.
I'm really tired. Intern year gets better, right?
It's just like a really bad first day?
Well, no one has a good first day.
- She's really hypotensive. - I can see that.
I'm what?
She decompensating!
- What happened? - Uh, BP's dropped to 70s over 40s.
Heart rate's 130, up from the low 100s before.
- Ow! - Abdomen is more distended.
Bruising around the flank and now the belly button.
What do we call this?
Grey Turner sign and Cullen's sign.
They can indicate retroperitoneal bleeding.
Excellent deduction, Dr. Spencer.
We're gonna intubate you and prep you for an ex-lap.
- Okay. - Does that mean I get to go to the OR?
Something like that. Yeah.
I need an intubation kit and a surgical tray.
You wanna do it here? In the clinic?
Do you want to kill an intern on their first day?
- Not this one. - Then get me a surgical tray.
Simone's helping other patients, I'm sure. Just like us.
How'd you know we broke up?
What?
Did she tell you last night? Was she upset or...
Hold her down.
Uh, I don't know what's wrong. Do we increase her sedation drip?
No, won't her pressure drop too low?
- I think we should risk it. - Do it.
M-Me? Me? It's... It's your idea.
I don't know how to do it. The nurse normally does it.
What makes you think that I know how to do it?
- Uh, she's waking up. - Oh. Oh, no. No, no, no.
Uh, should we... Should we extubate?
I-I mean, worst-case scenario is that we reintubate.
No, no, no, worst-case scenario is
that she rips her chest open from coughing and bleeds out.
The chest tube is in.
All right, dissect a little farther.
I'm trying, but the man has so much muscle.
Okay, there.
- Oh, my God. - What's his status?
Penetrating trauma to the
chest, injuries to the subclavian vessels,
multiple rib fractures with pneumothorax.
Sustained cardiac arrest,
resuscitated with CPR and eight units of blood.
We needed all the hands we could get.
He's A-neg. He needs to be scanned.
We need to rule out a brain bleed.
- BP's tanking. Pushing epi. - No, he needs blood.
- Okay, we know. We got it. - Then do something.
- Get her out of here right now. - No, I'm fine.
- Amelia, why don't you take a breath? - No.
Get off me. No, it's fine. I'm fine.
Altman, take over.
- I'm okay. Calm down. - Amelia.
- I'm calm. No, I'm fine. No. - Come on. Hey.
- Do not touch me. I'm fine. - Come on. Please.
- Amelia, let's go! Right now. Come on! - No. I wanna stay!
I need to be in there! Please! I wanna help!
I need retraction.
- We don't have a Bookwalter. - We don't need one.
- Dr. Bryant. - Yes.
Grab one of those towels and come over here.
- Put your hands where mine are. - Okay.
It's a hell of a way to start intern year.
I don't mind being a human retractor.
I meant for her.
Well, she'll learn what it feels like to be a patient.
It takes some interns years to learn bedside manner.
- Okay, don't put too much pressure. - Okay.
But don't let her bowel slip out.
That's the dopest thing I've ever seen.
Griffith, what's next?
Uh, in an OR, I'd use a Bovie to
carefully divide the white line of Toldt.
Once in the retroperitoneum, I'd isolate the IVC...
I'm in.
You dissected the retroperitoneum with your finger?
It's the one tool we always have.
- Oh, my God. - Got it.
Nope, I lied. That is the dopest thing I've ever seen.
Okay, let's ligate the lumbar
and close her up as soon as we can.
We gotta pull the tube out.
It's the only way to keep her alive.
Yeah, I thought that once about a patient,
and it almost cost me my residency.
I've already seen her die once. I'm not gonna watch it again.
All right.
Don't drop. Don't drop.
Good breath sounds.
Check her incision for bleeding.
It's all right. Okay.
Hi, Nora.
It's Dr. Kwan.
I know. I heard you guys the whole time.
Why are we in the hallway?
We'll catch you up on the way.
- All right, graft is in. - He's still hypotensive.
I can't see any more bleeding and there's minimal blood
in the pleurovac. Why isn't he stabilizing?
I made the wrong call. I should've taken him to Seattle Pres.
No, we didn't lose him on the
stairwell, we're not gonna lose him here.
Don't think about what we didn't do or should've done.
Think about what we can do.
Okay, let's do a thoracotomy
and check the chest cavity for injuries.
With minimal blood in the pleurovac, there's no indication.
We should resuscitate him, take him
to Seattle Pres for a full exploration.
- He might not make it. - He certainly won't
if we cut his chest open.
It is textbook. Trauma to the chest, rib fractures, hemothorax.
- You do a thoracotomy. - In a controlled environment.
This is too risky.
Altman, look, I have driven a rig from here
to Seattle Pres at least a hundred times.
- Ben... - With lights and sirens and God on
your side, minimum eight minutes.
Now, Link is bleeding out from somewhere.
You really want to risk eight minutes?
Chest tube was clogged.
He's bleeding out into his chest. Still wanna pack him?
Okay. All right, where's the scalpel?
I've got it. Here we go.
- You got it. - All right.
- Let's go. - Chop-chop-chop.
Okay.
The bleeding stopped. The ligating worked.
Try not to sound so surprised next time.
Okay, so now irrigate...
and pack it with a wet sterile towel as a temporary closure.
Uh, and then what?
Well, then we wait for them to get us the hell out of here.
And we hope everybody else is okay.
I, uh...
hate babies.
Birth, their dependency,
and the tiny little organs that are impossible to suture.
I'm not really a big fan of kids either,
but, you know, Parker...
he might've broken through to me.
You know? He might be my... my Demetrius.
Dr. Beltran?
No. No. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Damn it. Okay. Dr. Beltran,
I need you to open your eyes, okay?
Wake up.
You have to wake up. I need you to wake up.
Come on. Come on.
I lost my dad when I was a kid.
It's been... the defining fact of my life.
Just this, like...
unrelenting absence.
I don't want that for Scout.
And Jo.
My dad's death wrecked my mom.
Probably forever.
He'll pull through.
If he doesn't, it'll be my fault.
And I will never forgive myself.
- Anything? - Still looking.
Okay. Come on. Come on. Come on.
There. Yeah, intercostal artery.
And a lung lac.
- You can do the repair. - Okay.
I feel it. All right, stapler.
Yep. Here you go.
Stand back! Coming in!
You're too late.
She's gone.
Yeah.
So we were finally able to get him into a scanner.
The repair to the lung and the subclavian is holding,
and apart from the chest wall, there are no other injuries.
But, Jo... this could be a tough road ahead.
He has lost a lot of blood.
I love you.
I love you so much.
I haven't seen anyone pull through like that in a long time.
That man did not want to leave you.
He's been my best friend for 20 years. He means everything to me.
So, thank you. Thank you so much.
Okay, so you have a half an hour,
and then you need to get a blood pressure check.
- Really, I'm fine. - Dr. Webber's orders.
Okay, uh, so check his CBC and coags in an hour.
- Mm-hmm. - Warren.
I'll see you at home.
I'm sorry. I wasn't trying to question you.
- I was... - Backing up Owen on the thoracotomy...
was the right move.
We would've never made it to Seattle Pres. And...
And Link would've died.
I used to be a lot like you.
I used to take risks and make decisions based on instinct.
I didn't second-guess everything.
But now I'm a suit, and I have become more cautious,
and I shouldn't put that on you.
Tomorrow, I am gonna call the ACGME
and I'm gonna tell them that you're
gonna finish your residency at Grey-Sloan.
Um...
Thank you. Thank you. You won't regret it.
But if I say that we're closed to trauma...
Got it, Chief.
Yes!
Sorry. Sorry.
Parker is stable.
Um, we will need to bring him back for a permanent closure,
- but until then you can see him in... - Thank you.
Thank you so much.
You have a very tough little boy.
Millin. Millin.
Hey. I heard you were with Beltran.
You okay?
Millin. Millin.
No.
Are you in pain?
I was really hoping this was just a bad dream.
You tore your lumbar vein.
We repaired it.
You're gonna be okay.
I am never going to live this down.
If you were me, would you transfer programs?
Being a surgeon is hard.
I mean, you're gonna have days where you feel
like everything you do is a mistake.
That won't change no matter where you are.
So you've... you've worked here for a long time?
Long enough to know that if you stay, it's worth it.
Even without the ORs?
The ORs don't make you a surgeon.
The teachers and the patients do.
- Thank you, Dr... - Dr. Grey.
As in, like, you're... you're Meredith Grey?
I am. Still doesn't seem to get me in the building, but...
Oh, my God.
Dr. Hara to Radiology. Dr. Erica Hara to Radiology.
Why are you still here? Your shift doesn't start for another hour.
Mmm. I don't know. I thought I'd shower, get cleaned up.
No. No. No.
- What? - No smiling. No flirting.
- None of... that. - Okay.
We are strangers who met for the first time today.
Yeah. Fresh start. No problem.
After you, stranger.
After you.
- Hey. - Hey.
Do you wanna go home, sleep for three days, and then eat greasy food?
I don't think we should get back together, Lucas.
We said a lot of things to each other the other night.
Well, I took them back.
Because we almost died in a hostage situation.
That's not real life.
I think we just both need to take some time, focus on work.
If we find our way back to each other...
Well, I don't wanna take time.
Simone, I love you.
And, um... I mean, we always work it out.
I slept with someone.
When something's been in your life for a long time,
you can often forget it's there.
Whether it's a person or a place,
sometimes you can take it for granted.
- Hey. - Hey.
Thank you for last night.
Link is stable, so I'm gonna pick up
Scout and I'm not letting him go for hours.
I just gotta text Dylan Gatlin's latest labs over to Beltran,
and then I am gone.
What?
Is it Link?
Wha... What happened?
It's Beltran.
Monica, she...
she was trapped on the OR floor.
No.
She didn't make it, Amelia.
Monica's dead.
You never consider that you won't walk in that door again
or hear that voice.
- Nora? - On her way to Seattle Pres.
Sats are strong, incision looks great.
She looks like a different person already after that surgery.
- Thanks, Kwan. - Yeah.
Hospital's been cleared of security threats
and has been deemed structurally sound.
They need me in a press briefing.
Do you think we'll ever
be what we were?
- Best friends? - I don't know.
I don't know if I know who I am anymore.
I'll check on the kids and then I'll... I'll look for a hotel room.
But yet it happens every day.
People experience unexpected loss.
And, as impossible as it may seem...
don't give up.
Engineering says this floor might not be usable for weeks.
I know you said you missed the OR and
that you'd stay for surgeries, but...
this...
I'm here. Whatever you need.
What are we gonna do, Mer?
What we always do.
We're gonna rebuild.
You have to believe you'll find hope again.
