MEREDITH: The poet Octavio Paz
once wrote,

"The Mexican is familiar with death.

Jokes about it. Caresses it.

Sleeps with it. Celebrates it."

It's called Day of the Dead.

Tyler said it's like a Mexican Halloween,

but he's wrong.

- I can relate.
- ♪ In my heart ♪

- ♪ Lightning strikes ♪
- [BLENDER WHIRRING]

But in a hospital,
death isn't celebrated.

It's avoided at all costs.

♪ This is my, this is my,
this is my life ♪

It's like the one day of the year

where the people who you love that died

come back to be with you.

Not like zombies.

More like spirits.

But not ghosts.

- And when it comes...
- Angels? I don't know.

...it's clinical, almost routine.

Today in homeroom,
we're making these big altars,

like offerings for the dead.

♪ It's a good day ♪

♪ It's a good, good life ♪

♪ Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh ♪

But still, with all that practice,

even surgeons are surprised by death.

- OWEN: Okay, then let's call her.
- Hi..

I tried, Owen. Her phone is off,

I can't track her,
I cannot see her texts.

- Okay. Well, let's search the park.

That's where she goes

I'm sorry. Can we, uh, talk later?

- Yeah. Of course.
- Thanks.

Um, I-I can help you look for her.

- Thank you.
- Yeah.

So, lunch later?

Well, I have a budget meeting
and then a, uh,

briefing from legal, and then,
um, I'm in surgery.

Oh, hey, can you post

I am not chief resident anymore.
I am a fellow.

I've been burned before.
This time I'm prepared.

She wants me to cry,

Dr. Bailey. UNOS is on the phone.

They're probably calling

No. I know that look.

- Hello, Medina family.
- Oh.

- Are we having a party?
- [LAUGHTER]

It's Dia De Los Muertos.

It's a very important day for us,

but they all wanted to be here
for my daughter.

So, we built our own ofrenda.

I hope it's okay.

- MEREDITH: Hello, hello.
- Of course.

Hey.

- LAURA: Who's this?
- I'm Dr. Grey.

ALEX: Dr. Grey is here to help us today.

You're the chief.

You can't take out a gallbladder
by yourself?

I can, but, uh,

Flor needs more than a simple
gallbladder removal.

MEREDITH: After studying her
scans, we've determined that Flor

has a choledochal cyst
in her biliary system.

- A cyst?
- But don't worry. It's benign.

A cyst? Where? In her belly? Let me see.

- [WHISPERING] Mami. Stop.
- The cyst is in her common bile duct...

- [WHISPERING] I'm sorry.
- And it does need to come out

as soon as possible

because it can lead to
the growth of cancerous cells.

But we're gonna take that out
and reduce that risk to zero.

We do a procedure called
a Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy.

- Did you just make that up?
- [LAUGHTER]

It's a procedure where we attach

a piece of your intestine
to your biliary tract.

Can everyone please stop talking
about my biliary tract?

I'm sorry. We're almost done.

- LAURA: Is my baby gonna be okay?
- ALEX: Yes. She is.

It's a longer surgery
than we originally planned,

but we're gonna take good care of her.

MEREDITH: So, Dr. DeLuca
will take her upstairs

and prep her for surgery.
We're gonna repeat her LFTs.

- Okay.
- It's very nice to meet all of you.

- Thank you, Doctor.
- Gracias.

Thank you.

Can we talk?

Is everything okay?

When's the last time
you spoke to your dad?

Thatcher? Uh, when Lexie died, I guess.

Yeah.

Why?

Um...

He's sick, Meredith.

His liver? Is he drinking again?

No, he's still sober.

I heard from an A.A. friend this morning.

Thatcher has acute myeloid leukemia.

He's in hospice, Meredith.

He has only a few weeks to live.

- Meredith?
- Huh? Yes?

Did you hear what I said?

Yes.

Thatcher is dying.

I got it. Thank you.

He coded. Webber thinks he threw a clot.

Perfect. Five-minute rule.

Hey, Ned.

Dr. Bailey, what
are you doing? He's dead!

We need to reperfuse the liver.

Let's get, uh, cannulas
and get an ECMO machine

- set up in an O.R.
- His heart stopped.

- His organs are useless.
- Yeah. Bag him, please.

Wow. Is she losing it?
Do we need to call someone?

My God, Dr. Bailey,
his liver is as dead as he is!

And we are gonna bring it back to life!

get a reperfusion machine.

I've been reading these case
studies out of Europe,

Zombie medicine?!

No, we get him on ECMO,

then use a normothermic
perfusion system for the liver.

We can save it,
and we can give it to Roberta.

I have prepared to die young... ish.

And now that I'm close to that
death and statistically unlikely

to experience some magical,
stardust liver miracle,

I just want to make sure
that the people I love

are given the chance to grieve me.

That's not your job to worry about.

It is, D. When my father died,

I wanted to throw myself
on his casket and weep.

But instead, I wrote jokes for his eulogy

to make his friends feel better

and then spent 10 years crying
at dog-food commercials

because all of that grief
was still in me,

and it needed a place to go.

to throw yourself
on my casket and weep...

if you want to.

if you want her trash liver.

that was once in a dead man
who is very much alive.

Not... The liver, not the man.
The man is still dead.

Y... This liver survived a cardiac death?

Yep. We brought it back to life.

[LAUGHING] Oh, crap.

I can't believe UNOS approved this.

They did not.

Well, they said that it's not up to them

since it's technically
a directed donation,

so we called the organ
procurement center.

They said they'd get back to us,
and the donor's family consented.

Get back to you?

Uh, they will get back to us
with that approval

because this is
a fully functioning liver.

This is a liver that doesn't even
know it's outside of a body.

- [CHUCKLES]
- Please tell me you didn't

promise this liver to a patient.

- It's functioning.
- No, no, no, no, no.

- Shut it down.
- What?

No. I don't care how cool this is.

This liver is not going into a patient.

Alex, we're gonna save a life here

with a liver that would
otherwise be trash.

Which is where our standing would
be with UNOS if this goes bad.

Well, that's not gonna happen.

some kid fell in love with me...

- Oh. From Maggie? Or Richard?

Jackson.

- So, you don't want to talk about it?
- I'm not not talking about it.

I'm just... I don't know that
there's much to say.

Take some time if you need it,
go see him,

say goodbye, as much time as you need.

- You're friends with the chief now.
- [LAUGHS]

Well, I don't know
that I want to see him.

Okay, so, he wasn't father of
the year to you, but still...

Didn't your dad disappear on you?

Yeah. But I got to say goodbye
to him before he died.

And did that make the birthday no-shows

and the crying mom
on the holidays go away?

Did having five minutes with him
after a lifetime of nothing

- make you feel better?
- Suction.

I opened the door for him.

I gave him a piece of my liver.

I opened the door for him
to get to know me.

He did not walk through it.

The only time we ever spent together

was when Lexie forced us to be together.

And then when she died,
he completely disappeared.

So, I don't really need to grieve him

because he's been a ghost for years.

You know, our entire career exists

to prevent people from dying.

They give out awards for it.

And here's Flor's family
celebrating death.

They're not celebrating death.

They're celebrating the dead.

And inviting them to come back
for a visit.

Maybe they didn't see them
before they died.

[LAUGHING] Oh, you are not
as clever as you think you are.

- I disagree.
- [METAL CLINKING]

It's such crap. Just 'cause he's chief,

he can tell me what I can
and can't do at work?

Sort of what a chief does, yeah.

Whatever. He bends his rules all
the time to save his own patients.

Yeah, but he's the chief.

Okay, are you my friend or his?

Speaking of your friends,

I asked Grey out.

[GASPS] Yes. When's the date?

[CHUCKLES] Yeah, she rejected me,

pretty brutally... again.

She did that to me, too,
for like the first two years.

- She's gonna come around.

- Dr. Lincoln.
- Oh.

[QUIETLY] Damn it.

[SIGHS] Osteosarcoma.

- Isn't that what you...
- Yeah. It is.

Betty?!

It's getting late. She can't
be out there all night.

Damn it, Betty! I never should
have let her go to school.

Should we call the police?

- No.
- Yes.

Listen, she's a teenager.
Teenagers do these things.

Are you kidding me?!

Do you know how many times
my mom would freak out

when I was just down the street
at my girlfriend's house?

Yeah, and when I was 15,

my mom called the police, looking for me,

and when she found me,
I was high on pills,

about to jump off my friend's roof.

- Fine. You're right.
- I'm just... Yeah, Betty is not "fine"

because Betty is not a normal teenager!

She's not like you, Owen! She is like me!

And if my mom had not called
the police that day

and if the police had not found me,
I would be very dead right now!
