Grey's Anatomy

Previously on "Grey's Anatomy"...

I was dead. Now I'm not.

Anybody come looking for me yet?

No hits from missing persons, plus--

My face is hard to identify.

Anyone know who the new chief candidate is?

- Colin Marlowe. - The one and only.

- He... - Yes.

- With... - Yes.

Your best friend violently disses our marriage every chance she gets...

She has feelings for you!

Is she crazy?

Surgeons always have a plan...

Where to cut, where to clamp,

where to stitch.

But even with the best plans...

Complications can arise,

things can go wrong...

And suddenly you're caught with your pants down.

Wow. You and George were really going at it last night.

- What? - Oh, the laughing,

the drinking, the music--

Okay, you know what? Nobody, meaning me,

needs to hear George's rendition of "Sexy Back"

at 3:00 in the morning.

Yeah.

You shoulda-- You shoulda just, you know, said something or-- or...

Banged on the wall.

It's like living in a youth hostel.

Well, the important thing is, is that she and George made up.

You did, right?

I need to use your bathroom.

- Why? - Because O'Malley is puking in mine.

- Okay, youth hostel. - George is still here?

Yes.

Yes, but only because he was too drunk to drive home.

You know, just totally impaired,

like no-heavy-machinery drunk.

What's her problem?

Still drunk.

What's she doing here?

She's afraid she's ruining her engagement to Burke,

so she's hiding from him.

Not anymore. I have a plan.

Burke doesn't want me to marry him just to appease him--

- Which you are-- - So...

we don't get married.

Simple.

We go back to the way it was.

"Be kind. Rewind."

My plan has a name.

I gotta go.

Gotta get to work.

I'll see you guys there.

Is that George?

You said he was upstairs puking.

So now he's downstairs puking.

What the hell happened last night?

Callie is gonna kill me.

Did I at least call her before I passed out?

You don't...

You don't remember?

I remember the bourbon...

And, uh...

I don't...

Where did you sleep?

- Big day. - Yeah.

What time's your interview with the board?

3:00.

Well, if you have any questions, please--

Yes, thank you. I think I have everything well in hand.

That's a big folder.

It's, uh, it's nothing.

It's, uh, just a few ideas I have for Seattle Grace.

A 10-year plan,

which, uh, really is just a few...

tweaks.

What did, uh, Einstein say?

"Newton did the work,

"I'm merely standing on his shoulders."

And in this scenario, I'm Newton.

- Hey. - Hey.

- You look nice. - I look insane.

I'm-- I'm wearing pearls.

- Listen-- - Listen, about, uh, last night--

- Yeah. - Yeah, I had--

we're gonna have to put a pin in that for now, because as of this moment,

You and I are the perfect couple. Okay?

We are the perfect, happily married couple who are perfect

and-- And never fight,

because, uh,

because my dad's in town.

- What? - Yeah.

My dad is in town, and, uh,

he wants to meet my husband.

Oh, hey.

The O'Malleys.

Carry on. Do your stuff, your...

married stuff.

Yay!

You told her about our fight?

Just when exactly is he coming?

Today. Lunch. Cafeteria.

You know what, I think I'm gonna change it to Joe's

so he might not be able to tell that stink's coming from you.

No, it's-- It's okay.

It's gonna be okay.

Uh, I'm good with parents.

Parents love me.

Funny, funny, funny little man.

Funny little smelly little man. Get in the shower, OK?

- It's gonna be OK. - Get in the shower.

I know. You'll see. He's gonna love me.

Oh! No.

What's this?

We bring each other coffee. This is what we do.

No, it's what we used to do,

before you moved in. We started making coffee at home.

You know, I'm not really interested in going back to the way it used to be.

So unless you have something else to say to me...

I've already had my coffee.

Good morning, Doctors.

Good morning.

Big day today, huh?

Good luck to all and sundry, hey?

He has a 10-year plan.

- What? - He's presenting the board

with a 10-year plan for the surgical wing.

He's only been here a day.

Did you see that folder?

It's full of plans,

"tweaks" for my hospital...

This is our computer-generated

approximation of your original facial structure

based on the 3-D C.T. scans we did.

It's what you could look like after

reconstructive surgery.

Or you could look like this.

Or this.

You don't like them?

No, it's not that. It's...

How does this work exactly?

He'll make an incision along your hairline, and then...

It's okay. I can take it.

He'll literally pull your face off.

It sounds a lot worse than it is.

Your face is extremely elastic,

and pulling it down allows me to repair the bone fractures

underneath without causing any scaring.

And once you've healed, no one will ever know you had the surgery.

I'm that good.

He is. It's annoying.

The surgery won't affect my baby?

I'll be monitoring the baby throughout.

So...

Then I-I just have to pick one?

Do I have to pick one now?

Um, take a couple hours and think about it.

Couple hours... yeah.

- Dr. Bailey. - Chief,

our Jane Doe is getting a new face today.

Well, that's exciting.

How are you doing, Meredith?

You didn't take too much time off after--

I'm fine. Really, sir. I, uh,

I think working is the best thing I can do.

Like mother, like daughter?

Dr. Grey, what can you tell me

about reconstructing the orbital floor?

Uh, you can create a new base for the eye socket

by harvesting bone from the skull.

Dr. Bailey, Dr. Grey will be scrubbing in

on the Jane Doe surgery. Come on.

I'll show you how to do it without breaking the bone graft

into a million pieces.

Congratulations, Dr. Grey.

Okay, let's go, people.

Oh, wait, wait, wait. I need to talk to you.

Why?

To prepare you guys for what you're about to see.

You meant--

You meant "you" like "us", not like "me".

You don't want to talk to me, you want to talk to us

about a p-- About a patient.

That's what I just said.

Uh, this patient has a disease so rare

that you'll probably never see it again--

- F.O.P. - Oh, uh, fibrodysplasia

ossificans progressiva?

Yeah. It's a congenital disease

which turns muscle into bone. You become a human statue.

So just, uh, try to learn.

Try not to stare, okay?

If you people are interns, you need to stand back.

Nina, please don't be rude.

My mother still has movement in her...

face and hands. I would like to keep it that way, so please be careful...

If you press too hard during an exam or bump into her accidentally,

it causes a bone to grow where a bone shouldn't grow.

So there can be no accidents.
