Original subtitles

[Preston] Previously on Grey's Anatomy...

I was dead and now I'm not.

- Anybody come looking for me? - No hits from Missing Persons plus...

My face is hard to identify.

Anyone know who the new chief candidate is?

- [Derek] Colin Marlow. - [Preston] The one and only.

- [Derek] He... with... - [Preston] Yes. Yes.

Your friend violently disses our marriage every chance she gets.

- She has feelings for you. - [laugh] Is she crazy?

[Mirah playing "La Familia" Remix by Guy Sigsworth]

[Meredith] Surgeons always have a plan,

where to cut, where to clamp, where to stitch.

- But even with the best plans... - [George grunts]

[Meredith] ... complications can arise,

things can go wrong,

[George sighs]

...and suddenly you're caught with your pants down.

[gulping]

Wow, you and George were really going at it last night.

- [coughs] What? - The laughing, the drinking, the music.

OK. Nobody, I mean me, needs to hear George's rendition of SexyBack

- at 3:00 in the morning. - [laughs]

Yeah, yeah. You should have said something or you know,

- banged on the wall. - It's like living in a youth hostel.

Well, the important thing is that she and George made up. You did, right?

- I need to use your bathroom. - [Meredith] Why?

- O'Malley's puking in mine. - Youth hostel.

- George is still here? - [gulping] Yes.

Yes. But only because he was too drunk to drive home. [laughs]

You know, just totally impaired. Like no heavy machinery drunk. [laughs]

- What's her problem? - Still drunk.

[chews] What's she doing here?

She's afraid she's ruining her engagement to Burke, so she's hiding from him.

Not a anymore. I have a plan.

Burke doesn't want me to marry him 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. I gotta get to work.

See you guys later.

[George moaning]

Is that George? You said he was upstairs, puking.

[chews] So, now he's downstairs puking.

[George moaning]

- Izzie. - George.

What the hell happened last night? Callie is gonna kill me.

Did I at least call her before I passed out?

[playful music]

- No. - Oh.

You don't... you don't remember?

I remember the bourbon... and the...

[grunts]

Where did you sleep?

[moans]

Big day. What time's your interview with the board?

- Three o'clock. - Well, if you have any questions...

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

- That's a big folder. - [laughs]

It's nothing... it's just a few ideas I have for Seattle Grace.

A ten-year plan. Which really is just a few... tweaks.

What did Einstein say?

"Newton did the work, I'm merely standing on his shoulders."

And in this scenario, I'm Newton?

[door closes]

- [moaning] - [door opens]

- [clears throat] - George.

- Hey. You look, uh, nice. - I look insane. I'm wearing pearls.

- Listen... - About last night...

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

you and I are the perfect couple, OK?

OK, we are the perfect, happily married couple who never fight

because, uh... because my dad's in town.

- What? - Yeah, my dad's in town.

And, uh, he wants to meet my husband.

Oh, hey. Hey, O'Malleys. [laughs]

Carry on, do your stuff, your married stuff.

Yay!

- You told her about our fight. - Just when exactly is he coming?

- Today, lunch, cafeteria. - [sighs]

I'm gonna change it to Joe's

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

- No, it's OK. It's gonna be OK. - [sighs]

Uh, I'm good with parents. Parents love me.

[laughing]

Funny, funny little man. Funny little, smelly little man.

- Just get in the shower, OK? - Everything will be OK.

You'll see, he's gonna love me.

Oh. [sighs]

- [phone rings] - [indistinct chatter]

What's this?

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

No, this is what we used to do.

Before you moved in and we started making coffee at home.

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...

[phone rings]

I've already had my coffee.

[indistinct chatter]

[Colin] Uh...

- Good morning, doctors. - Morning.

Big day today. Good luck to all and sundry. [laugh]

[phone rings]

[announcement over P.A]

- He has a ten-year plan. - What?

He's presenting the board with a plan for the surgical wing.

- He's been here a day. - You see that folder?

It's full of plans... tweaks for my hospital.

[indistinct chatter]

This is a computer approximation of your original facial structure.

Based on the 3D CT 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? - Well, it's not that...

Um...

How does this work exactly?

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

It's OK, I can take it.

He'll literally pull your face off.

[Mark] 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 any scarring.

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, OK?

OK.

So... then I just have to pick one?

[sighs]

Do I have to pick one now?

Take a couple hours and think about it.

Couple hours, yeah.

[indistinct chatter]

- Dr. Bailey. - Jane Doe's getting a new face today.

Well, that's exciting.

[indistinct chatter]

How are you doing? You didn't take much time off after...

I'm fine, really, sir. I think working's the best thing I can do.

Like mother, like daughter, huh?

Dr. Grey, what can you tell me about reconstructing 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.

I'll show you how without breaking the bone graft into pieces.

- Congratulations, Dr. Grey. - OK, let's go people.

[phone rings]

[indistinct chatter]

- Oh, wait, wait, I need to talk to you. - Why?

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

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

You don't want to talk to me. You want to talk to us, about a patient.

That's what I just said.

This patient has a disease so rare, you'll probably never see it again.

- FOP. - Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva.

Yeah. It's a congenital disease, which turns muscle into bone,

you become a human statue. So just try to learn, try not to stare. OK?

[door opening]

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'd like to keep it that way, so please be careful.

Press too hard during an exam or bump into her accidentally,

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

- So no accidents. - Remember that when dealing with her.

It's a stomach virus or the flu. I'm sure it's nothing.

- Nina insisted I come in. - She was vomiting blood.

Going through her pain meds like they were candy.

And she has new growths, on her back.

No doubt caused by come clumsy interns on her last hospital stay.

Obviously, you're having a flare up of FOP but what concerns me is vomiting.

So I'm gonna need a CT and see what's going on.

Wow, did you build that?

- My mom did. - No, Nina did it.

- I used to do it, I'm not able to... - Keeps her active.

When she's active she has fewer flare-ups.

Plus, it makes her happy and relaxed.

Good, OK.

[door closes]

[phone rings]

- Can I work in the clinic today? - You don't want the FOP case?

- What's going on in the clinic? - I just feel clinic-y.

- That's not a word. I'll take the clinic. - [Izzie] Cristina!

You both can go. The board's interviewing the chief candidates all day,

so we're light on surgeries. O'Malley?

- Yes? - You're with Dr. O'Malley.

- OK. - What am I supposed to do?

Find Dr. Montgomery, see if you can help with Jane Doe.

- [burping] - [sighs]

- I showered twice. - It's coming out of your pores.

You reek, you're trembling, no way I'm letting you near my patient. Bailey?

Don't tell Bailey.

With Mrs. Rogerson's limited mobility, I'm gonna need an extra set of hands.

[Bailey] Fine.

Stevens.

Yang will handle the clinic, you'll be with the O'Malleys today.

[theme music playing]

It's my foot. It hurts like crazy. I'm gonna need a pain killer,

I can't spend the whole day propped on an ice pack.

Uh, you need to take off your shoe.

No, no, no. I've been down this route before.

Slip me a couple pain killers and I'll be on my way.

Sir, did you go to medical school?

I did. Take off your shoe.

[laugh]

- You have type two diabetes. - Ten years now.

You inspect your feet, notice anything?

I noticed it hurts. Look, I've got 30 guys waiting for me to show up...

Sir, I get it. You're in a hurry. That makes two of us. Sock.

[sighs]

You need to call your guys and tell them you're not coming in.

- Did you choose a face? - Not yet.

I was hoping I'd see one of them

and, I don't know, recognize myself, but...

I don't recognize any of these women.

What if I choose the wrong one?

What if my husband or boyfriend or whoever's baby this is,

shows up tomorrow with a picture of what I'm supposed to look like

but it's too late, and I'm stuck with the wrong face for life?

That would suck but if you don't pick one...

this is gonna be your face the rest of your life.

[siren wailing]

[indistinct chatter]

- Hey. - Hey.

Shouldn't you prepare for your board interview?

I am.

[indistinct chatter]

- You're hovering. - No, I'm breathing you in.

- You're hovering. - Fine, I'm hovering.

If Cristina would sleep in her own bed, I wouldn't hover at work.

I'd hover in bed. A different type of hovering perhaps. [kisses]

How bad is it today?

On a scale of one to ten?

- Seven, maybe a six. - Good.

- You know what's gonna make it better? - What?

Calvarian bone harvest I get to do on Sloan's Jane Doe later.

Sloan's gonna let you do a harvest?

By yourself?

- By myself. - Oh.

Which makes me very cool in the eyes of my dead mother, by the way.

- OK, then. I better let you study. - Better stop distracting me.

I will not be cool in the eyes of my dead mother if I maim Jane Doe.

We're gonna need you to lie very still Mrs. Rogerson.

I think I can do that Dr. O'Malley.

Sorry about that, Mrs. Rogerson.

Oh! I'm never gonna drink again.

I can't believe I have to be presentable for Callie's dad at lunch.

- Oh, God. - [sighs]

Hours...

hours of our lives...

many hours that are

all I can think about and you seriously don't remember?

How can you not remember those many, many hours?

Izzie... [moans]

Whatever I did, whatever I said. I was drunk, I didn't mean it.

George, I promise you, you meant it.

You meant it a lot, you meant it more than once.

[monitor beeping]

Do you see that?

Gotta page Callie.

[door opens]

You'll be pleased to hear I'm proposing an expansion to the hospital board.

Give you quite a few more places to hide.

I'm not going to hide. I'm just trying to find my resident.

I come to Seattle to see you and you don't give me a moment.

- You came to get a job. - I came here for both.

Well, you made a mistake.

You gonna invite me?

- Where? - To the wedding.

Stop talking about the wedding.

Brides-to-be love to talk about the wedding, what's the matter?

Are we getting cold feet?

Please leave.

If he's rushing you, you should tell him.

When you marry, you wanna be ready.

He should understand that.

Good afternoon, board. No.

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen of the board

I'm so grateful for this opportunity.

Don't wear the glasses. You fiddle with them, it makes you look indecisive.

Stop stressing, it will be like any job interview.

What do you consider your strengths? What do you consider your weaknesses?

What do you consider your weaknesses?

I don't have any. I'm that good.

What are yours?

- I'm an easy mark for evil redheads. - [laughs]

Trust me, you have other weaknesses.

Obviously, you are a man-whore.

Correction, I was a man-whore.

While you brag about that to the board, Marlow is pitching his ten-year plan.

Ten-year plan? Is that a requirement?

It is now.

Mrs. Rogerson, according to your CT, you have severe internal bleeding.

Probably caused by anti-inflammatory medication.

Does it require surgery? Because she can't have any.

Any surgical procedure could cause bone growth or do more damage than good.

That's why Dr. Burke's here.

What we can do is insert a line into your groin,

float a catheter up, embolize the area.

- That's minimally invasive? - As minimally invasive as possible

but with your condition, even this is risky.

I'm 41 years old.

Most FOP patients don't live to 45.

I'm down to the use of my face and hands, pretty soon I won't have anything.

So, what would happen if I refuse the surgery?

You will bleed to death.

Within a day or two.

- Is that painful? - Mom, stop.

- Nina, please let me think, I... - The reason you've gotten this far...

our treatment plan works.

It will work.

[Mark] Burke is using PowerPoint.

He's doing a PowerPoint presentation for the board which is cool if it's 1998.

There's no swag, is there?

We're not allowed to give gifts?

Why did you ask Meredith to do a bone graft...

on your Jane Doe?

Because I'm her teacher and that's my job.

You're doing it to impress the chief. You're setting her up.

And she can't fail right now.

Why don't you let your girlfriend decide what she can or can't do?

I will hurt you if this goes wrong for her.

Is... is that a...

Dollhouse. Yeah.

Lights work, it's the perfect little home.

- Oh. You have a dollhouse growing up? - I had sex last night...

with the wrong person.

But the thing is, it didn't feel wrong at the time.

It felt like something was falling into place.

- [clears throat] - So, what do I do?

[clears throat] Am I the go-to person for adultery?

No... I just...

I just don't know what to do.

You stop.

That's what you do.

Are you sure? I mean,

how do you know that it didn't feel so right because it's God's plan?

God wants you to be an adulterer? [clears throat]

God got a virgin pregnant by magic. God is not playing by the rules.

Uh-huh. Talk to Paul.

Mr. Kendry.

No, Paul will get your drywall numbers.

- Mr. Kendry. - OK.

Let me write notes about that call.

We're gonna have to amputate your foot.

[piano music]

- What? - The infection is in the bone.

If we don't remove your foot, it will travel to your blood, cause sepsis

and possible death. I'm sorry.

[sighs]

How can you be so...

I mean, I can't get around...

No, no, you're not cutting off my foot.

Sir, diabetes is a manageable disease.

If you had been here even a month ago, maybe...

OK, so I screwed up.

But you're telling me this is my only option

because I'm late getting here? There is no way...

- Mr. Kendry... - No!

Please, there's gotta be a way for me to get that month back.

Tell me what to do. I'll do every line of every plan you give me.

I'll do it. Please.

[piano music]

You gotta find a way to save my foot.

What do you think of a robotics lab as a goal for the hospital?

- Derek. - You're harvesting.

I'm trying to be supportive but this graft, it's really tricky.

Mm-hmm. You don't have to do it, you know. I talked to Mark and...

- You what? - I talked to Mark.

- Meredith, this is a complex procedure. - You don't think I can do it?

When has Mark Sloan allowed his interns to do anything?

Let alone harvest a bone graft?

He's in the race for chief. He's trying to prove he can teach.

By teaching you. Your mother died, the chief is watching you.

- Mark is trying to gain points by... - Using me.

If it goes well, he gets the credit, If it goes poorly, he gets the save.

- So, this is about you one upping Mark? - He's using you.

I'm just trying to protect you.

You don't need to.

Close the door on your way out.

[piano music]

- Can I help you with those? - What do you want?

See, that's what I like about you, always get right to the point.

Make it quick, I'm headed over to the clinic.

All right. What would you change about this hospital if you could?

Is this for your board interview?

You want me to do your homework for you 'cause I'm not busy enough, is that it?

All the other attendings are putting together ten-year plans,

- Just looking for some input. - Input? You want...

I have patients in need of medical attention right now.

This guy, here, is about to have one less appendage.

I don't have a ten-year plan for him, I have a "right now" plan for him.

Cut off his foot to save his life. You need to get out of my way right now,

so I can do my job.

- Right now? - Right now.

[Alamo Race playing Black Cat John Brown]

♪ Black cat John Brown ♪

Hey, talk to me about blackouts. Are they real?

Do you really not remember anything?

Iz, I'm fine. I'm not drinking, I'm not drowning my sorrows. Fine.

Everybody needs to stop protecting me.

Um, this isn't really about you.

I'm asking back when you had a best friend named tequila,

did you actually ever blackout?

Once... twice.

The stuff you don't remember is usually the stuff you don't want to remember.

Right.

Great, thanks.

Hey, I have type two diabetes. Patient let it go, infection is in the bone.

I have to find a fix or cut off the foot. Anyone? Anybody?

- You get to cut off his foot? Cool. - OK, no, not cool.

The patient was neglectful, he made a bad call.

Does that mean he has no hope? Does that mean he can't have a do over?

But you get to cut, do bonus stuff.

- We're talking about Burke now. - [Alex] We are?

Operation be kind, rewind not going so well?

[Izzie] You need to fix it.

'Cause it seems like you guys have a pretty good thing.

And pretty good things are rare and hard to come by.

Unlike really screwed up, complicated things which

- [sighs] seem to be everywhere. - You know, things are great.

I'm gonna get things back to the way they were. Watch me.

[sighs] Has Jane Doe picked a face?

[Meredith] No, not yet.

How cool would that be? To get to pick your own face.

Just disappear and start all over.

[loud speaker]

- How you doing? - How am I doing? I'm freaking out, Alex.

That's how I'm doing. I can't do this. I can't pick.

I can't.

All right, OK.

Well, let's, uh...

[chair rolling]

Let's meet the contenders, all right? Let's see.

This... this is Maggie.

Married her high school sweetheart, has two kids, boy and girl.

Loves being a mom, you know, coaches her daughter's basketball team,

- and makes an insane banana cream pie. - Banana cream pie?

It's my favorite, so shut up.

And this is... Elizabeth.

Graduated from Northwestern,

met her husband at a rally where they got arrested and fell in love.

She's angry and fired up but everyone forgives her because she means well.

Ah, now, this one.

This one's Ava.

She's funny, she's tough...

a little neurotic sometimes, but you get used to it.

You can tell she's been through a lot in her life but,

it's only made her stronger, you know?

[piano music]

It's just your daughter, the way she... she's sorta undeniable.

- [laugh] - And, uh...

After I lost my father, I realized that life is short...

and it's long, too.

Short and long.

Life...

- He talks a lot. - No, no, he talks...

like a... like a... like a person who talks, Dad, please.

Do you have any idea what you've done to your mother?

You make this decision, the most important day of your life.

We didn't even know she was seeing someone.

- Are you pregnant? - Oh.

- Did you get my daughter pregnant? - No.

[Callie] Daddy, no, this is George, OK?

- [laugh] He's not like the other guys. - Clean as a whistle, and a mathlete.

He has no money. You have money.

Oh, come on.

I didn't know that Callie was well off. She just told me.

Really, well, you won't mind then if the house,

the car, everything else we'll provide will be in Calliope's name?

- What house? - You're a married woman now.

I'll find something suitable. It's all here in the postnuptial, I've brought.

- [glass chatters] - Oh.

- Dad! - Sorry.

- Got it. It's OK. - [sighs]

Thanks. We've been working on it for months.

But when I say we, I mean she.

- I just hold things and look pretty. - That can be hard work too.

I'm gonna need to draw some blood for your surgery.

Mm-hmm.

Be careful! You can only use one specific vein

in this area, here.

- OK. - [clashing]

- I said be careful. - I am so sorry.

- That's OK. - No, it's not.

- She's clumsy, she's not drawing blood. - She's just doing her job.

Not very well. I'm going to get the senior nurse.

- Oh, Nina, stop. - No, mom! Do not let her touch you.

We can't be too careful. You're not taking her blood.

I just need to talk.

[Richard] No coffee.

[clanking]

- One more thing for Marlow to tweak. - [laughs]

Please tell me you're not coming up with a ten-year plan for this hospital.

You can come up with all the plans you want but in the end they're just...

It doesn't make one bit of difference.

- Things happen, people just... - Drown?

[sighs]

Yeah, you know when I pulled her out of the water...

she was like ice.

She can swim, Richard. She's...

She gave up.

I close my eyes for a minute and it's like she's back in the water.

I'm up at night listening to her breathe, you know? In case she stops.

So, I can come up with plans for the hospital,

but if they ask me where I'm gonna be in 10 years...

[Mr. Torres] George.

Mr. Torres?

You wanna take care of her in your own way.

Mm-hmm.

I understand that,

I respect it, but you have to understand,

she's my only little girl, George.

And you need to promise me that you will love her and protect her

because the minute you hurt her...

- [tramping] - You understand?

Good. Then I'll tell Callie's mother, she can plan the party.

- What, what? - Your wedding party.

- Oh, Dad, come on. - Please. For my sanity make her happy.

- Just let her plan the party. - All right, all right, OK.

All right then, I have a plane to catch.

Come here.

George.

Bye, Dad.

I was all proud.

So listen...

[sighs] about last night,

personally I'd like to take back about 90% of it.

Me, too.

Good, good OK.

Then go find Izzie and help her prep Mrs. Rogerson, I'll see you in surgery.

[guitar music]

- You here to keep my baby alive? - I am.

Good.

So?

So...

call me Ava.

You been practicing? The chief will be watching today.

The chief, right, of course.

- Of course what? - Derek was right about you.

You're using the memory of my dead mother to win points with the chief.

It's despicable. And I'm not gonna play.

The chief, the way he was looking at you this morning,

was like some beaten down puppy he picked up off the side of the road.

You do this procedure and you do it well,

he'll start looking at you like a surgeon again.

But, you know...

you wanna think of me as despicable,

you wanna pass up this shot, that's up to you.

They're doing amazing things with prosthetics these days.

This doesn't mean your life is over.

Take him up to the OR, I'll meet you there.

Got your board thing now?

The chief picked you.

Originally, you were always to be the next chief. That was the plan.

That was a long time ago.

- A lot has happened since then. - But, you're still that guy.

- You're the guy the chief chose. - No, I'm not.

I'm not that guy, Cristina, and I wouldn't want to be.

I wanna be better than that. I like to believe that I've grown.

I wanna move forward.

I'm not interested in going back.

Osteotome and hammer.

Use the curved osteotome to elevate the external table.

Platinum microcoils, they aren't holding.

What about a gelatin sponge?

I've tried polyvinyl alcohol, glue, micro-coils. Nothing's working.

- BP's dropping to 62 systolic. - We're gonna have to open her up.

If you open her up she's dead.

If we don't, she's dead.

He didn't get caught up in this whole ten-year plan foolishness.

He said he had a "right now" plan.

- The "right now" plan? - A "right now" plan?

Is that right?

Board ate it up. Tell you the truth, so did I.

I should have brought her in sooner.

The first time she threw up.

I knew better.

- Nina, there was nothing any of us... - No.

It was a mistake.

Your mother... talked to me.

She wasn't ready to leave you, but she was ready to leave her body.

[Nina] Please...

I don't need you to explain the comforts of death for my mother.

What she was afraid of

was that you had taken on so much of her disease that you were freezing up, too.

You spent so much time planning and helping her avoid risk.

God knows that's what you should have been doing, but...

she was worried...

You have a healthy body, Nina. If you fall down you won't turn to stone.

And your mom so wanted you to just let yourself fall.

Messing up... it's what makes a person.

It's how we learn.

Where we find joy...

in the things you don't plan for.

The things you never see coming.

[thunder rumbles]

[Izzie] OK, it happened.

It was a mistake and it happened. People make mistakes.

We need to figure out where we go from here, how to tell Callie.

I'm not gonna tell Callie.

Do you know how much this would hurt her?

I'm not gonna clear my conscious at her expense.

She has done nothing but support, encourage and believe in me

and this is how I pay her back.

No, I have to live with what I did.

This is our secret, OK?

OK.

[Meredith] The thing about plans is...

they don't take into account the unexpected.

So, when we're thrown a curve ball,

whether it's in the OR, or in life...

How are you feeling?

[Meredith] We have to improvise.

I'm a guy without a foot.

What do I do now?

You move forward, you follow the plan

and you try and keep your other foot.

My other foot.

Right.

[Meredith] Of course, some of us are better at it than others.

I'm impressed, Karev.

You spent the whole day watching a fetal monitor and never complained.

Well, I do what I'm told.

- Since when? - Depends on who's doing the telling.

[laughs]

Good night, Dr. Karev.

What was that?

Hey, how's Ava?

Mm. I don't think I'm gonna know the answer to that for a while.

What do you say we talk about you and the redhead?

[laughs]

Well, the redhead's my boss, so...

- So? - So, it's complicated.

- And? - And?

[keys jangling]

[Meredith] Some of us just have to move on to Plan B.

[Let's Go Sailing playing "Sideways"]

And make the best of it.

[sighs]

♪ I woke up pretty early ♪

It has to be small.

Just you and me...

and Meredith and Shepherd, too, if you want.

But that's it.

♪ I've been walking ♪

And the justice of the peace. I know you're spiritual and stuff,

but I don't want any rabbis or ministers, nothing religious.

Let's just...

make an appointment at City Hall and that'll be it.

[laugh]

And no veil, OK? I don't wanna get married with...

a mosquito net all over my face.

♪ Sideways ♪

♪ I have no problems dipping in my feet ♪

I let Mark use the memory of my mother to win points with the chief.

- You were right. - Sorry.

- You know what's weird? - What's weird?

It's exactly what she would have wanted.

- Dead mommy's proud? - Dead mommy's proud.

[kiss]

- How was your interview? - [sighs]

Not great.

It wasn't great.

- I was distracted. [clears throat] - By what?

Nothing.

I don't know.

On a scale of one to ten, how bad is it?

Eight.

- How about now? - Seven.

[Meredith] And sometimes...

- How about now? - Six.

...what we want...

Five.

...is exactly what we need.

But, sometimes...

I can smell your clothes through the closet door.

Did you tie them up in a plastic laundry bag?

Yeah.

- [laughs] - I'm sorry.

[sighs]

I'm so sorry.

I guess I can live with it.

[Meredith] Sometimes what we need is a new plan.
