Grey's Anatomy

We fight.

No, we don't.

You yell and then you go silent.

I yell because you...

We don't communicate.

There's no intimacy.

There's intimacy.

Okay. All right. There's intimacy,

but we're not on the same page.

Oh, be... because I don't do what you want me to do.

Because you had an abortion.

Uh, we've done couples therapy before.

He has P.T.S.D.

From the war, and she's had it, too.

From the shooting, but not at the same time.

We-we didn't have it at the same time.

And mine wasn't as bad as his is.

- You lay on the floor of an O.R. - You choked me.

You quit being a doctor. So...

For a little while.

Uh, but now we're fine.

Really?

Oh, sure. Okay. We're fine.

I meant the P.T.S.D.

Okay. Yeah. We're fine.

- We're fine. - Mm-hmm.

Except for the part where you aborted the child that I wanted.

Except for the part where you held my hand

while I exercised my right to choose

and then four months later,

you screamed I killed your baby in front of all our friends.

When you've tried everything

but that headache won't go away,

you can't stop coughing,

the swelling won't go down,

that's when you turn to a professional.

So...

As surgeons, we spend years developing skills of perception

that allow us to see exactly what the problem is.

You haven't even looked.

Amy, I am telling you, it is unresectable. Let it go.

I came all the way from L.A. to show you this.

You could spend more than 30 seconds.

I am looking right at it.

It's a gliosarcoma that has invaded the carotid artery.

You try and remove it, she will stroke out.

Stop being a jackass.

Wow.

I'm... she called... she called you a jackass.

Dr. Grey, excuse us.

Dr. Grey, stay here. I need backup.

Fine.

You just got out of rehab.

I want you to get on your feet.

But you can't help her.

Look at his face.

His name is Mason.

This gliosarcoma belongs to his mother Erica.

He's a great kid. I don't know him that well,

but he seems great.

I do know his dad well. His name is Cooper,

and he works with me and he is a good guy.

He is a good dad, which means he is the one

who is gonna have to tell Mason that his mom is dead,

that he doesn't have a mom anymore

because we didn't do anything.

You tell Cooper you're sorry. You tried.

Let it go.

I have a surgery.

Trouble is,

sometimes all that time spent

developing those skills of perception

can leave a person with an extremely narrow point of view.

And how are you supposed to argue with someone

who has science on their side?

Ah.

65-year-old woman enters the E.R. in shock.

Presents with a pulsatile, expanding abdominal mass.

Go.

Ruptured triple-A.

I would take the patient straight to the O.R.

and access the peritoneal cavity

through a vertical midline incision.

Nice.

You guys studying for the oral boards

in the middle of the day?

Just another benefit of having a study buddy.

- You should get one. - I have one.

It's just that my stupid study buddy's

too busy trying to save her stupid marriage

to actually help me study.

Well, you know what's better than a study buddy?

A study lackey. Check it.

Hey, you.

Brown-haired girl, you're up.

Uh, trauma incident or a surgical situation?

You made your interns come up with study questions?

Surprise me.

A 12-year-old boy fell off his bike,

hitting his abdomen against the handlebars.

Complains of progressive abdominal pain

and is short of breath.

Breath sounds cloudy.

What is it?

Sloan. 9-1-1.

Hey, if you want, we could...

I don't need help. I'm an excellent surgeon.

You know it, and I know it.

Everybody knows it.

I don't have to prove myself to anyone.

Yeah, except to the American board of surgery.

Yeah, there's that.

Meredith Grey.

No.

Not Grey.

Yang, maybe.

Yang's a cowboy.

Kepner.

Kepner?

Not Kepner.

Definitely not Grey.

She spent all that time in neuro,

and suddenly, she's chasing general.

She's unfocused.

You're underestimating her.

I think she'd surprise you.

She'd have to.

She will.

She'll have to come to me.

I'd do an exploratory laparotomy.

You said that already.

I know. Um...

The patient's still crashing?

Yep.

Oh! I gotta crack open his chest.

You've gotta what?

Uh, relax. N-not you.

Good morning, Chuck.

Hey, Karev. And, Dr. Peterson,

it's always nice to see you in Peds.

Thank you, Dr. Robbins.

Uh, so, uh, Chuck's looking pretty good.

Um, his, uh, abdominal pain's decreased,

and I think it's a good time to schedule a gastroscopy.

Great, great.

Well, then, you're in luck, Dr. Peterson,

because I think that Karev would be an excellent supervisor

for your first gastroscopy.

Thank you.

Okay, uh, Megan. Let's go schedule that gastroscopy.

Uh, it-it's Morgan.

What is?

My name. It's Morgan.

Whatever. Same difference.

Carrie Rissler is my patient.

Has been for eight years.

I'm aware.

She was given six months to live,

but after a mastectomy, oophorectomy,

and risky experimental biological therapy,

I managed to save her life.

Which is awesome.

D... no, it is not awesome.

It is a miracle.

And when I saw on the O.R. board

that my patient... my miracle...

is undergoing a lymph node transfer

without my knowledge...

She came to us, Dr. Bailey.

Said she brought it to you a few months ago,

and you shot it down.

'Cause her extensive scarring makes her a poor candidate.

That's what I thought.

But then Avery suggested we do some angio studies on her arm...

Avery suggested?

Dr. Bailey, this procedure has had outstanding results

for patients with-with vessels just like Mrs. Rissler's, okay?

This... this could make it worse.

It-it-it could even kill her.

That's not gonna happen.

Well, y-you're right, it's not,

because you're not operating,

not after I speak to my patient.

You paged me 9-1-1 to get yelled at?

No, I paged you 9-1-1 so that you could help me

convince Bailey we're doing the right thing here.

You failed.

Okay. So what do we do now?

Well, let's hope Carrie's a little bit

more persuasive than you are.

Dr. Torres, Dr. Webber suggested...

Unh-unh, here's how this is gonna work...

I talk, and you listen.

You are here because you and your little pals

are all freaked out about the oral boards,

and Dr. Webber suggested that Callie Torres

might have a special secret study method, right?

- Mm-hmm. - Yeah, Dr. Webber's correct.

Callie Torres does have a study method,

an excellent study method,
