Grey's Anatomy

Meredith: In 2023, a team of scientists studying hepatitis C

made a fascinating discovery... Complications include

blood clots, bleeding, leaking from or blockage of

the ureter tract and...

Still studying for the kidney transplant.

I want to be ready. You've been studying all night.

You're probably over prepped.

No such thing. Going in early again?

This doesn't have anything to do with that mystery woman

who stayed in your bed and followed you

around the hospital, does it?

Nope. Just trying to stay ahead.

Whoever's ready can ride it with me.

I'll come. We'll catch up.

They found that the virus creates a "cellular mask"

to hide from our immune system in plain sight.

When you said you wanted to...

do something with just the two of us...

I, um, I was expecting something else.

Like what?

We've gone four blocks. I know, I just -- I...

I need oxygen. I need...

Yeah, that.

Yeah, I needed that. Shall we keep going?

Camouflaged in molecules already known to our bodies,

the virus copies itself over and over.

Uh, you're not hitting the gym this morning?

I thought I'd help you out of the clinic

before my interview with Heron.

Oh, I, um...

I've got some business at the hospital this morning.

Hey, wanna meet for lunch?

It's taco day at the cafeteria.

I don't feel like tacos.

You love tacos. Too damn busy for tacos.

It sneaks in like a Trojan horse past our immune system.

And by the time the body realizes what's happened,

the infection has already taken hold.

Why don't you just ask him? Nick: Because Webber doesn't want to

assist on a kidney transplant.

He doesn't want to assist on anything.

But you said it'll be interesting.

For the interns. Not for Webber.

What's this actually about? Hmm?

I just thought it would be nice

if the two of you worked together.

Mer, come on. What's up?

I'm doing a liver biopsy on Catherine today.

Her cancer may have spread.

And, uh...

he doesn't know, does he?

I tried to get her to tell him.

She doesn't want to.

I can't believe you're doing this.

Breaking HIPAA? No, making me an accomplice.

Oh, what could go wrong? What could go wrong?

I love you.

James: You know, some people think you'll go to hell

if you swipe left on a chaplain.

Oh, I, um...Hey.

I -- I'm sorry. I was kidding.

I was just trying to get to the -- the news on there,

and then my finger accidentally opened up that app, so...

Jacob: Morning. Oops.

Thanks, Jacob.

Someone's a little hungry. Oh, I like to have extra treats

to hand out to the nurses. That's really kind.

Yeah, well, don't want to go to hell.

Again, kidding.

Okay. Jo: ...in the morning,

so then I switched that to Saturday at 2:00 p.m.,

and there was something else.

Oh, I, uh, I scheduled our OB appointment

at Seattle Presbyterian. Sure.

Why take an elevator upstairs

when you can cross town in traffic?

The minute people here find out that I'm pregnant,

they'll treat me differently. Like letting you sit down?

Giving you time to sleep? No, like...not giving me the good cases

or thinking I'm not committed to the job.

It's your call... Okay.

...but if I had a vagina, I'd want Carina DeLuca all over it.

Came out way worse than it sounded in my -- Yeah.

Yeah.

Hi. Oh. I'm sorry.

This is the best that I could do.

But, hey, look, you got a new microscope.

I've been using it to look for the bright side,

but so far no luck.

Well, I have put your name on a wait list for another lab.

I don't know what I'll be doing there anyway.

Meredith hasn't exactly filled me in

on the next steps for our research.

I have an idea to keep you busy today.

A hemangioblastoma on the thoracic spine.

I can see that.

The patient's upstairs.

If you want her case, it's yours.

Were you hoping that I wouldn't notice

she's 20 weeks pregnant?

I mean, she needs to terminate that pregnancy

before I can operate on that tumor. She wants to keep it,

and four other neurosurgeons have turned her down.

Will you just meet with her?

Uh... Unless you're too busy?

Yeah, right.

Dr. Heron? I'm Ben Warren. Oh, Dr. Warren --

the firefighting anesthesiologist, yes? I guess.

Uh, I know I'm a couple minutes early for my interview...

Yeah, you're four hours early, and I have two lap choles,

so I know that your Dr. Bailey's husband,

but I -- No, I cannot shuffle my schedule around for you.

I say no-no to nepo, right? I --

So 1:00, coffee cart. Yeah? Okay. See you there.

Good morning! Who is ready to see what today holds?

That's why we're waiting here.

Oh, great! Okay.

Oh. Kwan.

I'm afraid I have some traumatic news.

You are with Hunt in the ER.

Get it? Trauma?

I-I'm just happy for the work.

Oh, and, Millin, any guesses where "I'll see you"?

Please don't. That's right, the ICU.

Okay, okay.

Griffith, you're with Webber,

and Adams is on Marsh's kidney transplant.

Oh, I think I'm with Marsh. Actually, Dr. Marsh requested Adams.

And, Yasuda, you're with Shepherd.

Unless you want to keep playing telephone.

Shepherd? Got it.

Then let's get out there and...?

Together: Heal with love.

Yes!

You okay?

Yeah. I'm fine.

Can you pass me my tablet?

I need to watch the weather report.

Donna Mae, you know you can't go outside.

I know, but I just want to see Victor Suarez.

He's so handsome, and he's always accurate.

If he says it's gonna rain, it rains. I'm so sorry I'm late.

I had to stop at the peds floor for your pudding.

You are forgiven. Donna Mae Clarkson, 82.

Status post-CABG two months ago. History of TIA.

Congestive heart failure with EF of 25%.

On levophed, an insulin drip,

dialysis three times a week, and you...

don't have an advanced directive.

No, dear, but thank you.

If you can't make your own medical decisions

with no advanced directive, we'd have to assume

that if you got sicker than you already are,

you'd want us to use all available life-saving measures.

It could be very uncomfortable. I understand,

but if it means staying alive, I choose quantity over quality.

Now, pass me that tablet and the puddings.

Here.

[ Indistinct announcement over PA system ]

Meredith, what brings you here?

A patient consultation.

Oh, well, I was hoping you were here to see Catherine.

She hasn't been acting like herself lately.

She won't say it, but I think your rift is eating away at her.

I don't know what to say. Oh, I know there are bad feelings,

but if you could reach out to her, I'd be grateful.

I think about it.

Nice of you to show up.

Nice of you to tell your husband.

You know -- Uh, both of you play nice.

The only enemy in here today is cancer.

BP is 110 over 60. Okay.

Do you have any tingling or numbness in your legs?

Rhiannon: No numbness. They just get we.

Ms. Fletcher, this is Dr. Shepherd.

She is chief of our neurosurgery,

and she's looked over your scans. Rhiannon.

This is my brother Julian and his husband, Carl.

They... have a vested interest.

This is their baby. I'm their surrogate.

We have a vested interest because you're my sister.

He's lovable, but annoyingly smothering.

So you can just ignore him.

Please say you're here to tell me you can do the surgery

without affecting the baby.

Rhiannon, your pregnancy hormones have caused

the tumor to grow more rapidly.

Removing it would already be a challenge,

but pregnant at 20 weeks, the risk is exponentially higher.

Access to the tumor is limited,

and there's a higher risk of bleeding and clots.

What about waiting a few weeks

until my OB can deliver the baby safely?

It's possible, but it's not guaranteed.

If you don't remove the tumor now,

the pressure on your spinal cord could paralyze you

or the tumor could rupture, causing catastrophic bleeding.

Your best option is to terminate.

No. Rhi, we said we could adopt.

You and I are adopted.
