Grey's Anatomy

Our bodies play host

to trillions of bacteria and other microbes.

They live on our skin, in our guts, up our noses.

Alright, the kids are cleaning their rooms.

What's next?

Uh, appetizers, salad? Anything.

I should've taken this whole day off.

Microbes are found in almost every part of the body.

It doesn't need to be perfect.

It's just dinner.

It's a dinner party to welcome Nick.

You know what?

I don't remember getting a welcome dinner party.

You arrived during a pandemic.

Plus, Nick is very important to Meredith,

and I want to get to know him.

Mm-hmm. You want to grill him.

That's what you wanna do.

Hospital?

Hotel.

Wendell's room service is on the way.

How's he doing?

Apparently living it up.

On my dime.

At least we got our couch back.

So when's he supposed to hear about that job in Boston?

Well, he says any day now.

Oh, do you want me to slice these?

No, Amelia's gonna make guacamole.

Where is Amelia?

Microbes help us produce vitamins

and stimulate our immune system.

Wow.

That was...

Better than forcing me to go sight-seeing?

Ah. I don't know.

The view from the Space Needle is pretty spectacular.

Hmm. More spectacular than this?

You can see Mount Rainier...

...Puget Sound, Meredith's house --

We're late. We g-- we gotta go.

Maggie is gonna freak out. We gotta go. Hey. Hey.

You sure?

They break down food and perform many other functions

that we need to survive.

Nope.

Hey. Hey.

I thought you had a transplant.

No, I'm all done.

Ms. Olick is in the ICU.

I'm gonna drop by my place

and then I'm gonna - head to yours. - Okay.

I just have one more patient and then I'll see you there.

- Okay. - Okay.

- What? - No, it's nice.

Just living in the same city. I like it. It's nice.

Well, hopefully you feel the same way after tonight.

If you're trying to scare me off,

it's gonna take a lot more than your sisters and your kids.

Promise me you won't get home and decide to skip the party.

And miss the awkward small talk?

Never.

See ya.

You're still here?

Don't tell me - the party is canceled. - Wow.

I got all the senior residents working, a babysitter.

I got my party shoes in the car.

Do not ruin this for me.

Bailey, the party is not canceled.

I will see you there. Good.

Look at my face.

I need fun.

Me too.

Ay, yi, yi, yi.

ABG looks good. Patient's less acidotic.

You want me to run another one in an hour?

No, no. You should go home.

I don't want your hours to become a problem

for the Medical Accreditation Council, hm? Mm.

Why aren't you in party clothes?

You have chemo.

Yes, I have chemo.

You have a party.

A dinner party.

Look, I promised if you did this trial

that I would stand by your side for every step.

Baby, you went with me to my first infusion.

I'll be fine by myself.

I'm not breaking my promise.

We're here!

Everyone, this is Kai.

Hi! Nice to meet you.

I'm Maggie. I'm Amelia's sister.

This is Winston, my husband. Hey.

- Ooh! - Ooh!

Sorry!

And this is Zola, Bailey, and Ellis.

- Hi! - Hi! - Hi!

Sorry we're late.

It was my fault.

Oh.

Hi. Nice to meet you.

Uh, put -- put us to work. Uh, how can we help?

Did you bring the ice?

Ah.

- Alright, I'll go pick that up. - Thank you.

Yeah. What else can we help with?

- Oh. - Hey, that's mine.

No, it's not. Yes, it is.

It's not.

Can you keep them from breaking each other?

Hey, guys!

Why don't we take this party outside?

Yes! Yeah!

You play soccer?

I was hoping that you do.

Come on.

Hey.

Aww.

Is that how we greet our guests?

I thought it was Mama.

- Aww. - I'm sorry.

- Come in. Come on in. - Okay. Yep.

Um, Meredith - isn't here yet, obviously. - Okay. Yeah.

And you are on time to the minute.

Yeah, it's a transplant surgeon thing.

If I'm late, organs die, so...

Yeah. Here you go.

Oh, thank you so much. Welcome.

Yeah, well, I wanted to bring flowers, but Meredith said

that only stresses out the host, because then they're

forced to find a vase and put water in it, so...

Listen, wine is always welcome.

Okay. Good.

So, uhh, Winston is out getting ice,

and I'm a little behind on the food. Oh, okay.

So, uh, make yourself at home, and I -- Yeah, okay.

Oh.

- Hey! - Hey! - Hey!

It's customary to be at least 15 minutes late!

We could wait outside, or -- No, no, no.

Come in, come in.

Hey! Hi.

Uh -- should I open these?

- I'll take the two of them. - Oh, of course.

- No! No, he can't. - No, no, no.

It's alright. It's alright. Um, who's not on call?

Me.

- Alright. Mm-hmm. - Come on in.

Well, good night, Dr. Grey. Have fun at your party.

It's just a dinner.

Well, it's not work.

Fair point.

Plus, it gives the residents a chance to step up and help.

I remember having that attitude.

Alice Tom. 72. Massive facial trauma

and complaining of right arm and abdominal pain

after an assault at a bus stop.

Oh, my God.

Tachy in the 120s, BP 140 over 90.

She received 4 of morphine en route.

Okay, - let's get her inside. - What happened?

Bus driver said the attacker was using racial slurs

and yelling at her to go back to where she's from.

Oh, my God. Okay.

We've got you, Alice.

Oh, UCSF's starting trials on a new treatment.

Maybe we should look into it, huh?

Maybe.

Does your oncologist come to all your appointments?

This is my husband.

He's not my oncologist, but he is a doctor.

One who cares very much about your health.

Mm. Hm.

Chondrosarcoma.

Synovial sarcoma.

Hmm, that's tough.

We like to say it's persistent.

You. You like to say it's persistent.

He's being exceedingly optimistic.

For me.

How much longer?

I'm 35 weeks and...

Not that she's counting.

No, of course I'm counting.

You have to be able to meet him.

Oh, nanotechnology's come a long way.

Maybe we should look into that.

Maybe. Mm.

So, have you two picked out a name yet?

Please tell me everything.

I need a distraction.

Sorry. I know it hurts.

Push another 2 of morphine.

She has a comminuted mid-shaft humerus fracture

with a wound over the fracture site.

It was a hate crime, wasn't it?

It appears that way.

We can get another ortho surgeon --

No, no, no, no. I'm here. I'm -- I'll do it.
