Meredith: Oxygen is
the human body's fuel.

[together]
♪ Today

Meredith:
It powers our brains,

organs, and bodily tissues.

- ♪ It's a light,
come and see it now ♪

[together]
♪ Today, today is

Meredith:
Without a proper supply,

our bodies can't function.

- I haven't written mine yet,
but I will by Friday.

Wait, you already wrote

and memorized your vows,
didn't you?

I'm excited too.

I just need more hours
in a day,

but I did book a car
to pick up your parents.

Meredith: Our brains...
- Okay.

Meredith:
Hearts, and kidneys...

- See you soon.

Meredith: Can only tolerate
a lack of oxygen

for a limited time before
their cells begin to die.

- Wow, you really know
what you're doing.

- I have had seven sister's
worth of hand-me-downs.

This is nothing.

Wouldn't have pegged you
for a vintage dress though.

- I was gonna rock a jumpsuit.
- Fierce!

- But then my grandma pulled
my mom's dress

from the attic,
because she thinks I'm my mom.

And it just felt like a sign.

I'm just lucky
you have tailoring skills.

- Lucky, and also,
you're getting a bill.

Meredith: About five minutes
for the brain...

- ♪ Come and feel it now
- Wow.

Meredith: About 30
for the heart and kidneys.

- Don't look.

It's bad luck for the bride
to see the roommate

before the wedding.

Yeah, you're fine.

- Have you guys seen
this email?

Apparently, Dr. Webber has

a special announcement
this morning.

Wait, do you think
the residency program

is coming off probation?

- Or maybe Grey or Pierce
is coming back?

- Or they're finally putting
cheese curls

back in the vending machine.

It's more likely
than either of yours.

We're leaving in five minutes.

I'm only gonna tell you once,
okay?

- She's still
in a wedding dress.

- And you're slow.
Get in the shower.

- ♪ Your moment shining down

Meredith:
When a patient loses oxygen,

doctors know the clock
is ticking.

- ♪ It's a vibe,
can you feel it now? ♪

- Matcha latte, your favorite.
- Thanks.

- You could have one every day
if you came back.

- Could have one every day now.

- Well, yeah, but you wouldn't
need to cross the street.

Plus, you could wear scrubs,
which are basically pajamas.

- Are those
your big selling points?

- Well, Webber has
an announcement this morning.

That's gotta be good news.

- Yeah, well,
don't get your hopes up.

I only agreed to talk
to a few people.

Ooh, I gotta go.
- Oh!

You get to save lives...

in pajamas!

- BokHee, hey.

- Um, uh, attention, everyone.
Attention.

- We have some exciting news
that we want to share.

As you know, each year,
the Catherine Fox Award

recognizes surgical innovations

that push the boundaries
of modern medicine.

- It's been some time since
Grey Sloan's had a nominee,

but this morning,
we received word that not one

but two of our doctors
have been nominated.

- Please join me
in congratulating

Dr. Nick Marsh

nominated for his work
on xenotransplantation.

- Wow, thank you.

- And Dr. Winston Ndugu,

who's been nominated
along with Dr. Maggie Pierce

for their groundbreaking
partial heart transplant.

[applause]

We look forward
to celebrating you

at the award ceremony
in Boston.

[applause]

[light dramatic music]

Congratulations again
to both of you

I've got seats
on the Fox Foundation jet.

- Thank you.

I'm headed to the OR now,
but I'm truly honored.

- Congratulations.

[sighs]

- I'll have information
about the ceremony

and travel plans later today.

We're just finalizing
a few things.

- That's okay.
I'm good.

I'm--I'm not going.

But thank you.

- Sam Sutton
post-op day two status.

Post upper and lower limb
fracture repairs

and right lower extremity
gastroc flap.

All Doppler signals are strong,
and no sign of infection.

- I hear I'm gonna be famous.

- Well, it depends
on how you define it.

We're writing up your case
for a medical journal,

not "The New York Times."

- But we do hope it'll help
other doctors and patients.

- So they know how to treat

the next guy
who breaks 93 bones.

[all chuckle]

- Well, your vitals look good.

I'll come back
and check on you later tonight.

- Great. What happened
to my other doctor?

- Uh, Dr. Griffith, the intern?

- No, no, no,
she had light brown hair,

Disney princess eyes,
heart-stopping smile.

- Dr. Wilson?
- Yes.

Is Dr. Wilson single,

or did she just say that
because I was dying?

- She said that?

- Well,
she's with other patients,

but Dr. Yasuda
will be taking your data

for the rest of the day,
so if you need something,

just ask her.
- All right.

- Yeah.

[light quirky music]

- You can call me
a Disney princess,

but I don't date patients.

- And we should also monitor
her urine output

and fluid status.

- Uh, Dr. Bailey?

May I please
be on your service?

- I thought
you were on Shepherd's.

- I was, but I know this case,

and I can provide
a high level of care.

- You know the patient,

which is a reason
for you not to be on the case.

- She and I are not family,

and we've barely
known each other

for more than a few months.
I can be professional.

- I'm happy to switch.

- Okay, Millin, you're with me.
Kwan, go find Shepherd.

Hello.

- Hello, Doctor.

- Maxine Anderson,
81 years old.

Diagnosed with a UTI

complicated
by delirium and sepsis.

Treated with IV antibiotics.

Her delirium has resolved,

and she's been off pressors
for 24 hours.

She's being downgraded
to a stepdown bed today.

How are you feeling today?
- Much better, thank heavens.

I lost my marbles there
for a minute.

- Well,
glad you're feeling better.

- Jules--I mean, Dr. Millin,

if that happens again,

I want you
to know a few things.

First, please remember
to feed Mr. Darcy.

- The cat.

Got it.
What else?

- I want to be cremated.

Spread my ashes
in the Grand Canyon

and play Tom Jones
at my funeral.

- Max--

- And if I'm going,

just let me go.

I do not want to lie around

like a turnip
for the rest of my days.

No shocking with paddles,
no tube down my throat.

I want to be remembered
as a vibrant 81.

- Max, you're not dying.

You're being moved from the ICU
to a regular room.

- But we understand
your wishes,

and we'll get you
the paperwork.

- You'll be able to go home
in a day or two.

- Oh, that's great news,
not that I mind it here.

The food's edible,

the orderlies
are quite good-looking,

and with Jules
sleeping down the hall,

it almost feels like home.

- I've had a couple
of late nights.

That's what the on-call room
is for, right?

- Okay, Mrs. Anderson,
Dr. Millin will transport you,

and I will see you
in your new room.

♪

- Max.
- Oh, I forgot.

- Either of you ever seen
an abdominal aortic aneurysm?

- Only in textbooks.

- I read that triple As
are super rare,

Basically unheard of
in patients under 60.

- That's right.
Keep up, please.

- Well, our guy's only 29,

and he's
a non-smoking vegetarian

with no predisposing
genetic history

of cardiac disease.

- What are the triple As
most serious complications?

- Dissection,
a tear in the aortic lining

requires stenting or surgery.

- Rupture,
if the aneurysm bursts,

we gotta take him
straight to the OR.

- Good.
- Is that why we're rushing?

- Not exactly.

No, no, no, no, no, not again.
Ray, listen.

- Look, I'm sorry,
Dr. Altman, okay?

I can't do this today.
- Ray.

- Sorry, sorry.
Excuse me, excuse me.

- Uh, what are we supposed
to do now?

- We run after him.

♪

- Hey, I just saw
the funniest thing at day care.

Scout was annoyed that Luna
had this hedgehog toy,

and he made this face.

It looked exactly
like you look

when you're annoyed with me.

- Excuse me.
Sam Sutton asked for you.

He said it wasn't urgent,
though.

- Yeah, I just saw him.

- No, he's asking
for Dr. Wilson.

- Oh.

- Mm.

- That's it.
That's the face.

Wait, why--
why are you annoyed with me?

- [sighs]

Don't you think
it's a little inappropriate

to tell a patient
that you're single?

- He asked, and he thought
he was gonna die.

- He said you have
Disney princess eyes.

- You think I don't?

I'm kidding.
I'm kidding.

I appreciate
the misplaced chivalry,

but do you remember
how many times

I would get hit on
at Jimmy's Crab Shack?

- [chuckles]
- I think I can handle myself.

- Dr. Angle
to the Psych Unit.

Dr Lea Engle
to the Psych Unit.

- Ray, can we just stop
and talk about this?

- Look, you said I didn't need
the surgery right now.

- Right now and never
are two very different things,

plus that was two months
and three failed attempts

at surgery ago.

- Okay, well, I'm still alive,

so I'm good, great,
fantastic, really.

- You have a weakened aorta,
which supplies blood

to all of your major organs.
If it bursts--

- I know, okay?
You told me.

But those consent forms,

they say
I could have renal failure

or heart problems
or bleed out during surgery.

No, thanks.

- There is a less than
5% chance

of renal failure, bleeding out,
or heart problems,

but there is a 10% chance

that your aneurysm will rupture
at any moment,

and if that happens,
your chances of survival

are worse than all
of these numbers combined.

- Okay, just stop.
Just stop.

I don't know
about all the statistics,

but what I do know
is that those consent forms

say I could die
a dozen different ways

if I do the surgery.

I'm an illustrator.

I sit at a desk all day.

It doesn't require
much exertion.

- At this point,
it might not take much.

- I'll take my chances.

- Those chances would be
so much better with surgery.

- You can't force me
to do this.

[light dramatic music]

- Ray.
- So we just let him go?

- He's a ticking time bomb.
- Informed consent.

We can't force a patient
to get a procedure.

His mom will work on him,

and hopefully
he will come back.

All right, you two,
go to the skills lab,

and I will page you
if something comes up.

- Mm.
Coming?

- Yeah, go ahead.
I'll catch up.

♪

- Hey, you were looking for me.
- I was.

I have a question about the--
the, uh, the plate

that you put in my arm, and--

okay, yeah, obviously,
I don't really have a question.

I just wanted to see you
so I could thank you.

- For what?
- Saving my life.

- Okay, I know that post-op
can be boring--

- It is.
It is so boring.

I thought I could
flirt with you

while we play a game of cards.

You'd be holding all the cards
for real.

- Well, my day
is anything but boring, so...

- Okay, okay,
go cut people open.

I'll be here all week.
We have time.

- Actually,
I'm delivering twins.

I am both an OB-GYN
and a general surgeon.

- You're pretty
and multitalented.

We are a rare breed.

- Uh, so what do you do now
that you're no longer military?

- Oh, I'm still a pilot,
just not military.

- So flying hundreds of people
through the air

wasn't terrifying enough.

You had to put on
a shiny sleeping bag

and jump out of a plane.

- I'm actually
a pretty simple guy.

- Yeah, because simple guys
are always

jumping off of pyramids
and rainforest cliffs, or--

- You stalked my social media.

- I wanted to know
what wingsuiting was.

- [clears throat]

- Um, I have to get back to OB.

Is there anything else
that you need?

- Not at the moment,

but I will keep
your offer in mind.

- You realize
that she meant medically?

- No, she didn't.
- [sighs]

- Ray, hi.

Uh, can I have a minute.
- Oh, my God.

Stop with the consent forms.

What, do you get a commission
on the surgery or something?

- Uh, no, no, no commission.
Just my notes.

I just want to talk.
- Yeah.

You mean talk me
into the surgery.

- No, no, no,
talk about the surgery.

Okay, it's your decision.
I just--

I won't be able to sleep

everything I could

Dr. Brooks to Oncology.

- We got you one with a window.
- Oh, how nice.

[together]
Surprise!

- Norma, Lois!

- Welcome to your new room.
- Did we scare you?

I didn't want to yell,
but Norma made me.

- I'm fine.
I loved it!

Come here, you two.

[laughter]

both: Mwah!

- I told them they could
only stay for an hour.

You need to get your rest.
- Oh, don't listen to Jules.

She's in doctor mode.

- Speaking of Jules,
we brought your crochet bag.

- You know, my treble stitch
is getting much better.

- Wow, nice,
but that's a half double.

I can show you the treble
this afternoon again.

- Oh, you see
how she talks to me?

- She's an angel,
if a doctor can be an angel,

like in that movie.

- Oh, we put your toiletries
in the bathroom.

My hair needs a good brushing.

in ranking
medical contributions.

I just don't.

I also don't feel the need
to go all the way to Boston

for some rubber chicken dinner.

Listen, I'm sorry, but
it's a little presumptuous--

- Your absence would be
an insult to this hospital,

set aside your feelings
about Boston,

whose big brother is afraid
to die before he turns 30,

so they're building a portal
to a parallel universe

so that they could time jump
and that he could turn 31

and then reenter
the real world.

- Cool.

Also very specific.

when I was a kid.

Um, my grandpa
who died before I was born

sat at the edge of my bed

we'd be together
for my 30th birthday.

It scared the crap out of me,

so I've never smoked.
I don't drink.

I stopped eating meat.
Hell, I don't even drive.

I take public transit.

And maybe
it's completely irrational,

but I always thought,
if I could just make it

past 30 I'll be okay.

I need to stay alive
for my mom,

and I'm helping with
my sister's college tuition,

so I can't die.

I don't wanna die.

Look, I'm not a professional
like you,

but here is your aorta.

- Dr. Adams, look, I appreciate
what you're trying to do.

- Look, the statistics
freak you out,

so let's draw it.

Okay, so we'll access
your aorta through your groin,

and then we'll thread
a small wire

up through
the abdominal aneurysm,

and then we'll deploy a graft,

which will expand
to reinforce the weak area

and simulate an artery,
which will allow blood

to flow through safely.
- Is that a potato?

- That's a kidney.
- With a Slinky?

- That's the graft.
- [laughs]

Bruh, you suck at drawing.

- [chuckles]
Fair.

But I promise

this procedure has been tested
over and over,

and if a problem comes up
like you mentioned,

we have ways to address it.

What we can't do is be with you
if the aneurysm ruptures

while you're at home.

- Did you feel dizzy before
you fell, Mrs. Anderson?

- I don't think so.

I just remember
losing my balance

my head on the sink.

Maybe it's a sign.

can be a symptom

- Dr. Webber, hi.
Exciting news this morning.

- Well, I wish everyone
shared your enthusiasm.

- Well, you know
who loves awards? Helm.

- Oh, she does, huh?
- I don't know.

I'm just looking
for a good segue.

- Ah.
- How did things go with her?

- She said
she'd think about it.

- Did she seem upbeat?

- Well, honestly,
she was asking for things

we hadn't done before.
- Were they unreasonable?

- Well, not terribly,
I suppose, but--

- With all due respect, sir,

I don't see
why this is a question.

This hospital is bursting
at the seams with patients

and not enough doctors.
Helm is a proven asset.

You know exactly
what you're getting with her,

because you trained her.

You've worked with her
long enough to know

her talent and her dedication,
and frankly, sir,

we need more senior residents,
so please, please,

just give her what she wants.

- Nurse Kingsbury to Five West

Nurse Kingsbury to Five West.

- Again, it ruptured, and we
couldn't control the bleeding.

- I am very sorry,
Mrs. Sanchez.

I...

the hospital will mail

your son's belongings
to you in Tempe.

- Thank you, Doctor.

[phone beeps]

- Yeah, those calls
are never easy.

Hey, you got him back
to the hospital.

Adams, there's--
there's a thing with ADHD

where we feel the losses
really deeply,

so you have to take equal time

to give yourself credit
when you win.

You fought for him.
Hey, hey.

You fought for him.
That matters.

- He knew in his gut
he was dying.

He knew he wasn't gonna see 30.

I knew in my gut
that I was different.

There was something different
about me my whole life.

I knew I wasn't just lazy,
which is what they called me.

You know, I went down
a rabbit hole online,

and I have pretty much
every single symptom.

I mean, difficulty focusing,

time blindness,
short attention span,

and my family
is full of doctors.

It's not like ADHD is rare.
You saw it.

Why didn't they?

- [sighs]

I--I think parents,
sometimes they see their kids

through the lens
of their own experience.

Your parents
were overachievers,

so they expected you to be,
and when you weren't,

they were so busy pushing
and pushing you to live up

to your potential,
they didn't think to look

for why you weren't

- Yeah, or maybe
they were just too busy

being disappointed
in me,

they didn't bother.

- [sighs]

You know, I hope you win
the Catherine Fox Award.

- Why?

- I don't know,
because I feel like a failure,

and I feel like
I caught this too late,

and if you win, then--

- If I win,
we aren't just losers?

Is that it?

- [chuckles]
Yeah, something like that.

- You know, Adams, this award,
it doesn't mean anything.

- If that's
your acceptance speech,

it's gonna need work.
- [laughs]

- How long does
a delivery usually take?

A couple hours?
- Like, from Postmates?

- Never mind.
- Dude, you gotta take it easy.

Women don't love
aggressive flirting,

at least not from men.

- You don't get anywhere
if you don't ask.

You gotta at least ask.
- False alarm.

- You paged her again?

- The twins
do not want to come out.
