Grey's Anatomy

Meredith: There's an old story of a father who had two sons.

When he knew a civil war was about to break out,

he sent one son to fight for the North and one to the South.

He figured if he had sons on both sides,

there'd be a better chance one would survive...

...because when you fight a war at home,

the casualties are your neighbors...

...your friends, your family...

...leaving you all alone.

I need you to do something.

I told you I'd do it.

Just separate out the delicates.

Not laundry.

My thing is fun.

I need you to clip an aneurysm at the hospital.

I'm on leave.

Yeah, I need you to be off leave.

- No. - Please.

Come on. It's this sweet little old nun,

and she needs open-heart surgery

but she can't have it until her brain aneurysm is clipped.

It's so sad.

Poor Sister Agnes.

Don't "nun" me.

The nun detail was a little bit much, but please.

Please. Come on. I need you. You're the best.

And don't tell me that you don't miss the O.R.

Just one little clip, and you can scratch that itch.

Just one little clip.

You'll be in and out.

And I'll make sure that Owen doesn't see you.

Promise.

Give me 10 minutes.

- Morning. Good to have you back. - Morning. Thank you.

So, when I was Chief...

Interim Chief.

I took the liberty of catching you up

on all your backlogged resident reports,

department budgets, supply orders, so...

- I was gonna do that. - Of course you were.

I just figured, you know, the same way

you fill the tank with gas when you return someone's car...

You stole the car.

You're welcome.

Ah. Look who's back.

Have to say, I thought you'd last longer.

- You folded quick. - I didn't fold.

You're here, aren't you?

The chief didn't fire Minnick.

Dr. Webber asked me to come back.

There was no folding.

If you say so.

If you're into the guy, why not just be with him?

- Because I don't want to be with him. - Oh, come on.

Is it because of Maggie? She'll get over it.

No. I don't want to be with him.

- Okay. You do, though. -

But I don't.

So, listen, are we cool?

What do you mean, "Are we cool?"

I don't want there to be any problems with patients.

Just, are we cool? I mean, to work together.

- We're cool. -

I had to ask. It's kids.

We're cool.

Okay. Good.

The mattresses?

Yes. You need to replace every mattress in every on-call room.

- Unacceptable. - He's not wrong.

These mattresses are lumpy.

They're misshapen, zero lumbar support.

Our surgeons need solid rest, not spinal damage.

Noted.

You might tell Dr. Webber that if he wants to sleep soundly,

he should come home and sleep next to his bride.

Uh, I'll take this under advisement.

New mattresses!

Hey. You okay?

No. My back hurts.

Oh, and there's nothing like

having your dirty laundry aired for everyone to see.

Oh, that bad, huh?

And as long as Minnick's here, it's gonna stay bad.

I don't know what to do...

except give up and give in.

No, no, that's not acceptable. Everyone's behind you.

Everyone was behind me.

The longer Minnick's here, the more people like her.

And the more people like her, then...

Well, I'm behind you, then, so just...

Listen, why don't you stay at my place?

I have a guest room, and it's got a very good mattress.

I-I-It'll be fine.

Arizona, thanks for sticking with me.

You're a good friend.

We're losing ground. Everybody loves Minnick.

I wouldn't say that. I mean, who said that?

And now Meredith.

I stood up for him and got suspended.

Yeah, and now you're back. You rolled over.

Because he told me to come back.

That's not what it looks like, all right?

You weakened our position here.

Well, we don't have a position if he is asking us to stop.

- Meredith has a point. - The problem isn't Minnick.

Maggie: The problem is that her program is good,

and now everyone knows it, including Richard.

You guys are unbelievable. You're just gonna abandon him now?

- No. We're not. - No.

Well, I'm not gonna do that. I'm gonna fight for him.

- How? - My mother's not the only Avery in this hospital.

It seems like the colovesical fistula

closed off on its own, after all.

No abdominal reconstruction needed.

Good. I was hoping to avoid having to call Jackson in.

Things still difficult at home?

I'm not sure I can stay there anymore.

I mean, I want to. It's been so easy with Harriet, but...

But everything's so much harder than it needs to be right now.

- I know. - Yeah.

- And... - And what?

It's just embarrassing being demoted.

You were not demoted.

From Chief of General Surgery to Trauma Attending?

- It looks like that. - April, April.

A title is only as good as the person who earned it.

Grey is very good,

but when she wasn't here,

the person they turned to was you.

Oh, I know...

Do you?

Then act like it.

So... Hey.

Heads, he's Leo.

Let's just wait until we know he's okay.

Oh, come on. Stop.

You agreed that we'd decide with a coin toss.

I noticed a systolic murmur at the post-birth exam.

It's probably nothing, but I called just in case.

I'll check it out. DeLuca, get a pulse-ox.

Baby, our little guy is gonna need a name...

hey... definitely before school,

but probably before we leave here, so...

Heads, he's Leo, tails, August.

Okay, why is the name I like tails?

Fine. Heads, he's August.

Heads?

August it is.

Pulse-ox is slightly below normal.

Yeah. Let's get some labs and page cardio.

Uh, what's happening? Is he okay?

He's got a heart murmur.

I need to take him to get some tests.

I'll let you know more as soon as I do.

What's the little guy's name?

- Gus. - Gus.

- Gus. -

Jackson: Hey, you got a minute?

Ah. Just got paged to the pit. Can it wait?

I need to talk to you about this Minnick situation.

What situation? She's doing great.

Don't pretend you don't know what you did, Mom.

People have been fighting this since the minute you brought her here.

- Bailey brought her here. - At your urging.

And since I am the voice of the Avery Foundation at this...

Wait. I'm sorry. You're the what?

I'm the foundation's representative on the board,

right, a position that you gave me,

that you made me take.

Yes, and you kicked and screamed

and whined every step of the way.

And then I took it on.

So I am the Avery of this hospital.

The foundation speaks through me.

The foundation oversees. We guide.

We do not interfere in hospital politics.

How can you say that to me?

You started this by effectively ousting Richard Webber,

which, by the way, our rank and file

finds completely unacceptable.

I'm gonna be making the decisions from now on.

I'm gonna go to the governing board.

I'm gonna get Richard back in and Minnick out.

I'm going over your head.

I don't understand.

He's never been that interested in the foundation.

I know. He does not appreciate our role or the scope of it.
