Grey's Anatomy

Meredith: Several years ago,

someone welcomed me to the game.

They said how well I played, that was up to me.

The competition was tough.

The mentors were even tougher.

I pushed myself to the breaking point.

Bailey: Lap chole, lap chole, lap chole.

And more lap choles.

Seems like a whole lot of boring to me.

Well, at least I'm back in the OR.

Ha!

I have to take this.

And I didn't crack under pressure,

even though, let's be honest, I probably should have.

I've played the game pretty damn well.

God, Meredith, you're such a dawdler.

You kept me waiting.

Mom?

And now you're staring at me, again.

Such a problem child. When are you going to learn?

- Learn what? - What are you gonna do, Meredith?

You've survived the unthinkable.

Do you how many people didn't?

You survived. Again.

And what do you have to show for it?

Ordinary lap choles? Unbelievable.

Or so I thought I did.

Oh.

Man: Come on. Move it.

Tell me you just saw that, too.

Hmm?

I'm sleeping.

Mm.

Ooh, it's the Seattle Phoenix Fair.

Apparently there's like two more days left.

We come back from our honeymoon,

and suddenly, Seattle has its own Burning Man.

Amelia said she treated a stiltwalker

in the ER yesterday.

You wanna call in?

Could go buy some wings,

pretend to be immortal bird-clowns.

I wanna call in, but not for that.

Oh.

Ooh. Ahh. Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.

Still hurts? Yeah, a little.

I told Bailey not to schedule me in the OR

for the next couple of days.

Did you tell her how it happened?

Are you married, doctor?

I am, but I'm not sure that... People get married.

It's what they do. "People get married"?

A lot of them.

A lot of people do drugs. Should I?

I gave you space, I gave you time,

and then... then I planned an extremely special thing.

At someone else's wedding.

Is that a rule I didn't know about?

Yes. I...

You ambushed me with multiple children

and multiple rings,

the children making it nearly impossible

to say no to the rings.

And somehow you managed it.

Because it felt manipulative.

Got it. So the proposal was the problem.

Why is your only option marriage?

Amelia: It's archaic, and it really only

gets you tax deductions. If that.

If I may, I'd like to get us back on track

on why we're here.

We seem to be hitting all our one-year milestones.

How are his bowel movements?

Poops like a champ.

Shulman: "Poops like a champ." Okay. And his sleep?

And, sir, since you feel the need to drink from that helmet,

you'll need to leave.

This is a hospital.

Go on.

Thank you. You got a minute?

Yes, uh, Pierce is gonna join us

for today's round of interviews.

We still haven't found permanent replacements

for Koracick, Avery, Wilson.

Um, I actually wanted to ask

if you would come over to my place, for dinner.

What?

Sorry, I mean... you and your boys

with me and my boys

and your husband, obviously.

Obviously. Sorry, I'm not very good at this.

I know - that you have teenagers. - Yeah.

And mine... they seem to be struggling.

They didn't really have enough time

to make friends before the pandemic, and...

and my youngest, Austin, he, um...

Well, he's having these moments where, uh...

He needs friends.

I mean, we all do, right?

Well, uh, I'd...

Well, I'll have to, you know, talk to Ben,

and the boys'... uh, you know,

their schedules are so unpredictable, but... You know what? For... Forget it.

Forget I asked. I'm sorry.

I'll see you at the interviews.

Richard: Grey-Sloan is your home, Meredith.

You grew up here.

Also, we saved your life. Remember that?

Several times.

It's not a job interview.

You're meeting with Minnesota's prized tumor guy.

Because he's dedicating a research library to my mother.

I cannot lose another surgeon, Meredith.

Don't do this to me. I'm not.

Well, fine, because I know David Hamilton.

We did the conference circuit together.

He'd make a terrible boss.

There she is.

I have to go. Bye.

Uh...

- Meredith Grey. - I'd know you anywhere.

You are the spitting image of your mother.

David Hamilton. Pleasure.

Whee! Whee!

Megan: Hi! Hey! You found our spot!

I was worried you wouldn't understand my directions.

Yeah, we didn't.

We've been walking around this park for 30 minutes.

- You owe Mom new shoes. - No, I'm fine. I'm fine.

I'm just so glad we're all. - Here together, finally. - Mm. Ah!

Hi. And I'm happy to see you, too, Leo.

You're wearing a dress.

Uh, it's a tutu.

- Why's he wearing a tutu? - Mom.

'Cause he likes tutus.

Hey. I think you look cool, Leo.

I think you look incredible. Mwah!

Sorry about Nathan.

He had this overseas trip planned for months, so...

Ah, don't worry. We understand.

So?

We ready to do this, or what?

Yeah, Teddy should be here any minute.

Teddy: I'm here!

Hi!

Should we get married?

We should get married.

- Okay. - Okay, okay.

Here we go. Here we go. Here we go. Here we go.

Teddy.

Owen.

Excuse me.

I-I'm Owen. This is Teddy.

Right. Silly me.

It's time for my favorite part.

And now, by the power vested in me by God...

Teddy: Father, watch out.

Watch out, watch out, watch out!

Move! Watch out!

Father, Father!

- Oh, my God. - Megan: Oh, my God.

Why are you dressed like a pigeon?

I'm a Phoenix! Phoenix Fest!

What happened to your hair? Ugh!

Ugh, are you having - a nervous breakdown? - No!

Maybe.

I was just trying to lighten my color a shade or two,

and then I fell asleep.

Why didn't you go to the place

where people do this for a living?

I've been trying to study while Luna sleeps,

and I'm supposed to go back to work today,

and I'm freaking out,

and you're the only person who answered their phone.

How many people did you call before me?
