Grey's Anatomy

"I needed more time."

I can't tell you how often I've heard surgeons say this

after losing a patient.

Not me.

Oh, damn it.

They're moving Suzanne to the CCU.

She's spiking fevers again. She's got chest pain.

It just doesn't make any sense.

I know. I just hope Dr. Riley can help.

Who's that?

You know, the -‐ the doctor from San Francisco I'm bringing.

UCSF? I didn't tell you?

No, but we didn't do much talking last night.

She's supposed to be this diagnostic genius,

and I might have used your name to lure her here.

Ooh, resourceful.

Look, at some point, we probably should talk about this.

We will, but you should go save Suzanne's life first.

We think in time, we talk in time...

Doses per day. Life expectancy.

Take two and call me in the morning.

Good morning. Is it?

Aww.

Mwah. Mwah.

Okay, come on, come back to bed with me.

No, I wish.

I have to go check up on that foster kid you brought in last night.

Joey, yeah. How's he doing?

That's what I need to find out.

He doesn't even know

that his brothers and sister were taken away.

Who has to tell him?

You're looking at her.

I'm sorry. No, I'm sorry.

You asked me to try to keep them together.

Miranda, we both know that even the chief of surgery

has no power over Social Services.

Mwah.

Keep me posted. I will.

- I love you. - Mm-hmm.

Don't sleep all day.

You always tell me not to let you sleep all day,

and then you sleep all day. Mm-hmm.

And what is a heartbeat if not a ticking clock?

I'm gonna sleep all day.

A clock that's always counting down. Whoa!

Hey, I'm sorry I'm late.

Kids were sick again.

Um... what's going on?

Pac-North's been purchased.

By the Fox Foundation.

That's...

What, really?

How? Why?

Well, you see, Catherine and I got into a fight, and now...

And...?

And now we have to report to Grey-Sloan

and interview to keep our jobs.

An interview with...

Don't say Tom Koracick.

Tom Koracick. Ah...

Richard, how big was this fight?

It was pretty big.

Does Karev know?

Eh, well, he's dealing with family issues in Iowa.

I call him and tell him the place was gonna close,

and he texts me

a "laugh until you cry" emoji with a party hat.

Hey, guys, happy first day!

- Hm. -

What?

Ooh, I'm nervous!

Like it's the first day of school or something.

Wish I had one more day in your bed.

But I guess you don't.

Aren't you getting sick of staying at my place?

I mean, there's no room to put your stuff.

But, like, we could find room.

No, yeah, hypothetically,

but we're not at the cohabitating step, right?

Thank you. Right.

I mean, look, you'll love your own place.

You just gotta, you know, find one.

Dr. Dees... Dr. Dillon Dees to ICU.

Lads, say hello to Dr. Grey, please.

Hey.

Hi. Nice to meet you.

There was a time when they loved having a tour

of whatever hospital it was I was working in.

Now they just want to know where the cafeteria is.

Is there no school today?

Parent-Teacher Conferences. Oh.

Come on, come on, come on.

Put it back.

Did I see a certain chief resident

leave the house this morning?

Did you?

Hmm, that's interesting.

So you're back together?

I don't know. Why are you so interested?

Hmm, I'm anxious, and I deflect when I'm anxious.

Also I'm looking for examples of love enduring hardships.

Well, I wouldn't go that far yet.

But the sex is great.

Does that count?

Doesn't hurt.

Don't worry, Link's not with me.

Why would I be...

I know that you're getting the paternity results back today,

and I know that you've been avoiding him

ever since he said that he wanted the test,

and I know that you're not happy about it, either,

but Link may look like a department store mannequin,

but he is actually human, and he gets to have feelings.

He gets to be mad. He gets to have doubts.

He gets to be upset that he got taken for a ride.

It was not my intention to take...

Your intention doesn't really matter here.

What matters is the reality of the situation,

and when two people love each other,

they just need to be given all of the information

so that they can process it and rise.

Because if given the chance, they will rise.

Are you going through something?

Alex, uh, hasn't been returning my calls.

He says that he's going through something,

and he needs time, and if I didn't know better,

I would think he was getting revenge

for when I needed time.

But, um, I know he would never do that, so...

I'm sorry. I'm anxious, and I...

Deflect when you're anxious.

Me too.

Link loves you.

Stop avoiding him.

So, who are you bringing back?

TBD.

Don't act like you haven't decided.

It's not an act, it's a managerial nightmare.

I promise, I'll let you know as soon as I've made a decision.

What decision?

Foundation's absorbing Pac-North and its employees.

Oh... Yep.

In that event, uh, I'd like to make some recommendations.

About the people you impulsively fired

to set in motion a chain of events I'm still trying to clear up?

No, thank you, I'll conduct the interviews myself,

and make my decisions.

And here I thought you and I were making friends.

You did? That's so nice to hear.

Causes of undulant fever include brucellosis,

babesiosis, typhoid, leptospirosis...

Slow down, dude.

Oh, good Lord, people.

Just because you're injured doesn't mean you can't shower.

Dr. DeLuca said we could only eat and sleep.

Hey, what you got?

Blood cultures and ELISA came back negative for all of that,

and her lymph node biopsy's clear as well.

Which means no lymphoma.

Right.

Isn't no lymphoma a good thing?

I don't want to walk back there

and tell them that I have nothing.

Well, then, figure it out, and you won't have to.

Burn!

Be part of the solution, Helm.

And, Simms, take a shower.

Matty's 13!

I should have years before she's in the kissing stage.

What about Scott Thompson? Well, that was different.

He gave me a Styx record.

Well, maybe Taylor gave Matty something.

Wait... Matty kissed Taylor? Yeah.

Taylor Olson? Yeah.

Good morning, Hadley.

Suzanne, how are you feeling?

She's been digging up dirt on you.

It's called research.

I didn't exactly have to do a lot of digging.

Hospital Hell.

Did you see that article?

That piece was intended to highlight weaknesses

within the entire health care system,

and the surgeon who wrote it

actually recently came back to work here.

You're... You're not gonna find better,

more competent care in the whole Northwest.

Um...

Can I help you?

Excuse me?

- I'm Dr. Lauren Riley. - Right.

I'm here for a consult with Dr. Meredith Grey.

It's nice to meet you, Ms. Britland.

Suzanne.

And you are...

She is our master diagnostician. Oh, thank God.

I'm going to ask about a billion questions

and run even more tests.

I will annoy you greatly,
