Grey's Anatomy

Meredith: The brain stores a single memory

in millions of neurons.

Ohh.

Oh, this has got to stop. I'm losing my mind.

How are you sleeping through this?

Kwanie? Kwan-Kwan!

Hi. So sorry. Who are you?

There's a neuron that holds the smell

of your prom date's cologne.

Another neuron contains the sound

of your dress being zipped up.

And one for your favorite song you danced to that night.

Are you going to work? It's 3:00 in the morning.

Tell that to Griffith.

Hey, who's that girl in your room? No one.

Why are you down here? Does she snore?

I'm going back to sleep.

To remember the whole evening,

you need all of these neurons to communicate with each other

to make a complete picture.

But when the brain experiences trauma,

these neurons can be starved of oxygen and die.

Ugh, they forgot to place a supply order last week.

We're down to the last case of 4x4.

Can we steal from cardio? If we can borrow a nurse for clinic.

Yeah. How did this place survive a week without us?

Beyond me. Hey, do you know a Nora Young?

Yeah, she grew up down the street from me.

She was one of my sister's friends. Why?

Well, Megan's sending her here.

She has a perfed esophagus from a Nissen procedure.

They tried to repair it, but it still has a leak.

You know, I haven't seen Nora in years.

She was kind of a pain. Very bossy and tightly wound.

I mean assertive and goal-oriented.

Instead of complete memories, you're left with glimpses.

Good morning.

I hope you are ready to hit the ground running.

I've got some new ideas for genetic targets.

Is that a new PCR machine?

Where'd that come from?

Dr. Ridgeson got an NIH grant.

Kate Ridgeson?

Why's she putting her equipment in my lab?

It's her lab now.

Of course. No sense letting a lab

sit idle for one whole week.

I will check in with operations and, uh, see what's available.

A smell, a taste, a feeling.

Morning.

And once you start losing bits of memory...

Guess I'll take the stairs.

...there's no way to get them back.

There is supposed to be a ding before the doors open.

Where was the ding? Okay. Let's take a step back.

She's seen plenty of people kiss.

She's our boss, one of our many bosses --

Exactly. She has way more important things

to worry about today.

We are gonna go out there, like the badasses we are,

like nothing happened, and all will be well.

Have you seen Catherine?

Uh, she should be here soon.

Excuse you. I was here first.

Well, this can't wait.

Uh, didn't you get fired?

I wouldn't use those words.

Dr. Fox, do you have a minute?

Okay, I know we've had our differences,

but I would like to talk to you

about coming back as residency director.

We had an appointment to discuss my research.

Didn't we, Dr. Fox?

Call my assistant

and make an appointment, Dr. Bailey, please.

D-- Oh.

Put on heels for this.

Sit.

You've got some nerve.

How about, "Thank you

for flying all the way across the country to check on me

'cause no one knows I'm being treated

for Budd-Chiari syndrome"?

Do you have a butterfly?

Go easy, now.

Or what? You'll fire me?

Over there. Okay, thanks.

Okay, but if she's his cousin,

then why wouldn't he just say that, right?

Simone: Kwan has some mystery woman visiting.

Lucas: Good for him. I don't care.

You know what's gonna be fun?

July, when you're an intern again

and we're all your bosses. Ha-ha.

Hi. Hello. Hi. Good morning. Morning.

Where's Kwan? Blue: Here. I'm here.

Okay, for a second there, I thought you were sick,

Which is a great reminder.

If you're feeling under the weather, do not get together,

because I-I really -- I cannot have you dropping like flies.

I'm going to bring up the schedule now.

What's she doing here?

She wanted me to tell her about us.

At the hospital?

Yeah. She refused to leave.

Guess the amnesia didn't erase her stubborn streak.

Okay, so, Griffith, you're with Altman.

Yasuda, you're with Beltran.

Uh, Shepherd is back,

so, Millin, you'll be with her in neuro.

Kwan, you're with Hunt. Oh, and, Adams,

it looks like you are all set to help me with progress notes.

Although Ndugu did request you, so it's your call.

Uh, maybe I should just see what Ndugu wants.

Oh, yeah. Great idea.

Ooh, so if anybody wants to do a switcheroo,

I have a spot open with me.

So -- And we -- Sure. No. Okay.

Yeah.

Go, team!

If you take down a dressing to look at a wound,

you have to redo it.

I have my own job, okay?

I can't follow you around all day cleaning up your messes.

She does not hold back, does she?

She does not.

And yesterday I would've thrown down.

But today I am trying something new.

Oh, yeah? What's that?

Professional detachment.

I know I'm not getting the peds fellowship.

I saw the list of ranked applicants.

Somebody left it at the nurses' station.

I'm sorry. I-I wanted to tell you.

It's okay.

I-I knew my ABSITE wasn't competitive enough,

and I don't have the research experience.

I will find something else.

No question.

Alright, let's go round.

Cal: Did you know that there are more than 200 frozen dead people

on Mount Everest? Mika: That's nothing.

Ever hear of a little boat called the Titanic?

Monica: Elvis died on the toilet.

Not that you know who that is.

James: Heart attack, not constipation.

Common misconception.

Lovely. I'm the cool chaplain.

Eddie: Ever since Cal's mom died,

he's, uh, been a little obsessed with death.

Oh, I was obsessed with embalming when I was your age,

so I get it.

Yasuda? Mika: Cal Huang, 15.

Diagnosed eight years ago with Li-Fraumeni syndrome,

a genetic disorder associated

with an increased likelihood of cancer.

He's in remission for an adrenocortical carcinoma

treated two years ago.

Admitted from clinic for a work-up

of his increasing mid-back pain.

He hasn't been able to sleep, barely has an appetite.

It's another tumor, isn't it?

Let's not get ahead of ourselves.

We need to run some more tests

to get to the bottom of this pain.

But your labs have come back normal so far.

Yeah, Dr. Schmitt's right. One step at a time.

Dr. Yasuda will take you to get your CT scan,

and I'll come check on you when we have the results.

Is now a good time to talk about

getting the funding for my research project back?

Do you want my clot to just blow?

Meredith.

Why didn't you tell me you were coming back to town?

D-Did you change your mind?

Are you back at the Fox Foundation?

I'm working out the details. What does that mean?

What's happening with the research funding?

Did Catherine say something? Now's not really a good time.

Why won't you give me a straight answer?

Can we talk about this later? I'm checking on a patient.

Your scans are up. Liver cancer?

What?

That liver's covered in tumors.

Dr. Ndugu?

I was told you requested me.

Yeah, I did.

Dr. Pierce said you declined her offer in Chicago.

Yeah, it was a great opportunity,

but I'm happy where I am.

Well, we have some great opportunities here, too.

How about you join us today in the skills lab?

Yeah, we're setting up a vascular anastomosis lab

for the residents.

Teddy: Dr. Webber, I've been looking for you.

I wanted to thank you for holding down the fort
