Grey's Anatomy

People often ask what I've learned form surviving COVID.

I know they mean well, but it's a really annoying question.

Being away from work, my children,

getting hooked up to a vent...

it's not exactly a masterclass.

Though it did teach me something.

It taught me that I'm still alive.

Did you know that every avocado sold commercially

originates from a tree this one dude had in his backyard?

No, but did I know that an avocado has

more potassium than a banana.

Well, did you know that if you ate 400 bananas,

you might overdose on potassium?

Why would you say that? You know I worry about dying.

Okay, whoa.

We'll shut up. Please don't evict us.

That's not our stuff.

Are you evicting yourself?

I'm smart and I'm capable

and I have made livable homes out of the humblest of places,

including my car.

But I deserve more than just livable.

And so does Luna, so I am fighting for her.

I'm rich. Ha!

Technically, I am rich. I own part of the hospital.

So I'm gonna sell my shares and hire a lawyer

to help me adopt Luna.

And then, I'm taking whatever money's left

and moving to a place

where I don't have to listen to people argue about fruit!

Dibs on the bed.

But explaining that to my ex-husband

was like a full-time job.

Sounds like it.

- You paged? - Oh, hey.

Dr. Altman, this is, uh, Sophie.

She was in a little fender bender.

She's all clear except her heart rate is a little high.

So I thought you should check on her EKG.

I told him it's probably just white coat syndrome.

One look at him and my heart's off to the races.

Oh, sorry.

Keep forgetting it's COVID and you can't just touch people.

Don't worry, I'm wearing protection.

Okay.

I, uh... I'll come back and check on you.

- See you soon, Sophie. - Hope so.

Oh, you're wearing protection?

I didn't mean it how it sounds.

Well, she's throwing herself at you.

No, she's just nervous.

Well, I can give her your number, if you want.

- Oh, really? - No.

Now, look.

As Residency Director,

you're not only teaching them to do surgery,

but you're... You're guiding them.

When a resident loses a patient,

it's your shoulder they cry on.

If they succeed, you're their cheerleader.

So, essentially, they...

You're on call 24 hours a day.

That's the way you always described it to me.

I appreciate the advice. I do know how to do the job.

I've been watching you do it my whole career.

If I were you, I would be doing the surgeries

that I don't get to do.

Well, you're the only one I wanted for the job.

We'll see you at the wedding.

So, you gonna give Richard's speech

or did you write your own?

- No speech. - No... No speech?

No.

No, no, no, no, no.

Okay, we admitted 10 patients last night with COVID symptoms.

What are the statuses of all 10 patients?

Cardio tech, room 342. Cardio tech, room 342.

Give the O2 a minute, Gerlie.

We'll increase it if your sats don't come back up.

Or you could present the patient to me,

and I could decide if we should increase it right now.

Present, Schmitt.

Gerlie Bernardo, 37,

admitted this morning with sats of...

88. Temp was 102.

Heart rate 105, BP 96/54.

Dehydrated.

I'm a nurse... Long-term care.

Gotten pretty good at knowing when to call the ambulance.

Private or at a facility?

Lakeforest... assisted living.

I'm guessing that's where I picked this up.

But I've helped take care of Earl for 7 years.

Even when he has COVID,

I'm still helping him to the bathroom.

He's 96.

The kindest person I know.

My parents were at Silver Villas.

They were hit hard.

Yes, they were.

So, let's put her on high-flow, order chest films,

and start steroids and Remdesivir.

How did Luna do?

Couldn't have been better.

Hate that CPS made the poor thing wait a week

before approving her surgery, but...

Nurse Kaiser to the OR.

Your name will be back up there soon.

I don't know. They gave me an office.

- And a desk. - Mm.

And a chair.

Wow, a chair?

They must really fancy you.

You could have just said no, you know.

When I asked you out for a drink.

You didn't have to pass out and spend two months in the hospital

just to avoid turning me down.

- That seems like a lifetime ago. - Mm-hmm.

Did I hear you?

Did you come to my room and tell me to fight

and talk about my kids?

Couldn't have been me.

I'm far too busy to do sickbed visits.

Must have been some other Irishman

hanging around around here.

That being said, I am glad you didn't die, Grey.

Me too.

You'll get back there soon.

I should get going.

My sister is getting married.

Mm-hmm.

...as long as we both shall live.

Now, very important question.

Is there anyone here who objects to this union?

Oh, well, we do!

He... He was kidding, Nana.

Well, we aren't. I'm sorry, Maggie.

Wait, is this real?

Mommy, what's happening? I'm not sure, sweetie.

Winston, I've been waiting for this day

since I could cradle you in my arms.

And I know you went to a lot of trouble to get us here,

but this... This is broke.

Ha!

Oh, I am so sorry. Oh, I'm so sorry.

No disrespect, Meredith. You have a lovely home.

But Maggie, your own sister isn't here!

Amelia had to be on call today.

Right, should she let someone die of a stroke

just to be here with us?

But even if she was here, you have more family.

You have uncles, aunts, cousins.

I have a savings account for your wedding,

to do this right.

In a church.

Or at least with more than 10 people.

Do you know how proud we are of you two?

We want the world to see.

But it isn't safe right now, Nana Ante.

We can't do it that way.

Well, then wait. What's the hurry?

You all are already living together.

So, uh... we wait?

Yeah, I guess so.

I'll get the champagne.

- Yeah. - Vodka, please.

- Can I cut the cake? - Just wait a minute, okay, honey?

You can do whatever you want, sweetie.

Okay, she said you can go get cake!

You wanna take this?

Great, thank you.

Champagne, anyone?

I'll take that.

- Thanks. - Mm-hmm.

Bottoms up, everyone!

Dr. Sellers, Dr. Mari Sellers, 4619.

Uh, technically, I still haven't signed the discharge paperwork.

I... I know, but I've never missed a month of work

in my life, and they need me.

I heard Earl took his pants off during Arts & Crafts.

Twice.

You were on a vent for two weeks.

I know at your facility it's all hands on deck, but...

Take it easy and go slow.

Yes, Dr. Bailey, I know the recommendations.

Oh, so you know they apply to you also?

Mm-hmm.

Come on, let's have one last listen.

May I take a listen first, Chief?

I don't have a lot of experience

listening to lungs that have recovered from COVID,

and I think it'll be really beneficial to my education.

- Fine. - Yes!

Just take a few deep breaths for me, please.

Love.

Does that mean I can go?

Uh, no, I'll still need to take a listen of my own.

"Love."

The rush I felt when I watched that woman,

who'd been in a coma for weeks,
