♪ Ah

Several years ago,

someone welcomed me to the game.

They said how well I played,
that was up to me.

♪ Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

The competition was tough.

The mentors were even tougher.

I pushed myself to the breaking point.

Lap chole, lap chole, lap chole.

And more lap choles.

Seems like a whole lot of boring to me.

Well, at least I'm back in the OR.

Ha!

I have to take this.

And I didn't cr*ck under pressure,

even though, let's be honest,
I probably should have.

I've played the game pretty damn well.

God, Meredith, you're such a dawdler.

You kept me waiting.

Mom?

And now you're staring at me, again.

Such a problem child.
When are you going to learn?

- Learn what?
- What are you gonna do, Meredith?

You've survived the unthinkable.

Do you how many people didn't?

You survived. Again.

And what do you have to show for it?

Ordinary lap choles? Unbelievable.

Or so I thought I did.

Oh.

Come on. Move it.

Tell me you just saw that, too.

Hmm?

I'm sleeping.

Mm.

Ooh, it's the Seattle Phoenix Fair.

Apparently there's like
two more days left.

We come back from our honeymoon,

and suddenly, Seattle has
its own Burning Man.

Amelia said she treated a stiltwalker

in the ER yesterday.

You wanna call in?

Could go buy some wings,

pretend to be immortal bird-clowns.

I wanna call in, but not for that.

Oh.

Ooh. Ahh. Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.

- Still hurts?
- Yeah, a little.

I told Bailey
not to schedule me in the OR

for the next couple of days.

Did you tell her how it happened?

Are youmarried, doctor?

I am, but I'm not sure
that... People get married.

It's what they do. "People get married"?

A lot of them.

A lot of people do dr*gs. Should I?

I gave you space, I gave you time,

and then... then I planned
an extremely special thing.

At someone else's wedding.

Is that a rule I didn't know about?

- Yes.
- I...

You ambushed me with multiple children

and multiple rings,

the children making it nearly impossible

to say no to the rings.

And somehow you managed it.

Because it felt manipulative.

Got it. So the proposal was the problem.

Why is your only option marriage?

It's archaic, and it really only

gets you tax deductions. If that.

If I may, I'd like to
get us back on track

on why we're here.

We seem to be hitting
all our one-year milestones.

How are his bowel movements?

Poops like a champ.

- "Poops like a champ."
- Okay. And his sleep?

And, sir, since you feel the
need to drink from that helmet,

you'll need to leave.
This is a hospital.

Go on.

- Thank you.
- You got a minute?

Yes, uh, Pierce is gonna join us

for today's round of interviews.

We still haven't found
permanent replacements

for Koracick, Avery, Wilson.

Um, I actually wanted to ask

if you would come over
to my place, for dinner.

What?

Sorry, I mean... You and your boys

with me and my boys

and your husband, obviously.

- Obviously.
- Sorry, I'm not very good at this.

- I know that you have teenagers.
- Yeah.

And mine... They seem to be struggling.

They didn't really have enough time

to make friends
before the pandemic, and...

And my youngest, Austin, he, um...

Well, he's having
these moments where, uh...

He needs friends.

I mean, we all do, right?

Well, uh, I'd...

Well, I'll have to,
you know, talk to Ben,

and the boys'... Uh, you know,

their schedules are so

- unpredictable, but...
- You know what? For... Forget it.

Forget I asked. I'm sorry.

I'll see you at the interviews.

Grey-Sloan is your home, Meredith.

You grew up here.

Also, we saved your life. Remember that?

Several times.

It's not a job interview.

You're meeting with Minnesota's
prized tumor guy.

Because he's dedicating
a research library to my mother.

I cannot lose another surgeon, Meredith.

- Don't do this to me.
- I'm not.

Well, fine,
because I know David Hamilton.

We did the conference circuit together.

He'd make a terrible boss.

There she is.

I have to go. Bye.

Uh...

- Meredith Grey.
- I'd know you anywhere.

You are the spitting image
of your mother.

- David Hamilton.
- Pleasure.

Whee! Whee!

Hi! Hey! You found our spot!

I was worried you wouldn't
understand my directions.

Yeah, we didn't.

We've been walking around
this park for minutes.

- You owe Mom new shoes.
- No, I'm fine. I'm fine.

I'm just so glad we're all
here together, finally.

Mm. Ah!

- Hi.
- And I'm happy to see you, too, Leo.

You're wearing a dress.

Uh, it's a tutu.

- Why's he wearing a tutu?
- Mom.

'Cause he likes tutus.

Hey. I think you look cool, Leo.

I think you look incredible. Mwah!

Sorry about Nathan.

He had this overseas trip
planned for months, so...

Ah, don't worry. We understand.

So?

We ready to do this, or what?

Yeah, Teddy should be here any minute.

I'm here!

Hi!

Should we get married?

We should get married.

- Okay.
- Okay, okay.

Here we go. Here we go.
Here we go. Here we go.

Teddy.

Owen.

Excuse me.

I-I'm Owen. Thisis Teddy.

Right. Silly me.

It's time for my favorite part.

And now, by the power
vested in me by God...

Father, watch out.

Watch out, watch out, watch out!

Move! Watch out!

Father, Father!

- Oh, my God.
- Oh, my God.

Why are you dressed like a pigeon?

I'm a Phoenix! Phoenix Fest!

- What happened to your hair?
- Ugh!

Ugh, are you having a nervous breakdown?

No!

Maybe.

I was just trying to lighten
my color a shade or two,

and then I fell asleep.

Why didn't you go to the place

where people do this for a living?

I've been trying to study
while Luna sleeps,

and I'm supposed to
go back to work today,

and I'm freaking out,

and you're the only person
who answered their phone.

How many people did you call before me?

Help me!

Do you have scissors?

Dr. Kelly to the OR.

Dr. Claudia Kelly to the OR.

Hi, Scout!

I missed you so much.

He is so big!

pounds, inches.

And he needs to get to daycare, so...

Welcome back, Maggie.
Hope the honeymoon was a blast.

Have you two talked more?

Yeah, we turned Scout's one-year checkup

into couples therapy
in which I accused Link

of being a gaslighter and old-fashioned

for believing that commitment
only equals marriage.

Hm.

But I am so happy that
you and Winston are doing it.

What happened to your wrist?

Oh...

It is a sex injury, isn't it?

Good for you.

Alright. What do we got?

Bicycle versus pedestrian at the park

during the Undies Bike Race.

Underwear.
It's a ride to promote body positivity

- and safe cycling.
- I know what undies are, Helm.

I just didn't realize
they scheduled the damn ride

during the fair.

- Hunt? What the hell?
- -year-old male,

blunt trauma to the abdomen and chest

after a collision with a bicycle,

scalp lac, BP over , tachycardic.

Lost consciousness at the scene.

Well, a-and... and
the two of you were there?

Yeah, he's our priest.
He was marrying us in the park.

You asked me to cover for you
in the ER today

so you could get married?

Uh. Trauma two. Go, go.

Tandem cyclists crashed.

Rider in the back flew about feet.

She's hypotensive and presents
with numbness in her legs,

possible spinal fractures.

Swell.

Might want to hide the happy face.

Patient might be paralyzed.

I don't want to look how I feel, Nico,

which is like I want to
break the whole world

into a million little pieces and bury it

so no one can find it.

Okay, maybe I should take this one.

Just try and calm down, Nadi, alright?

Your pressure's already
all over the place.

Because my wife steered our bike
right into a wedding.

We crashed a wedding. Literally.

We plowed right into the ceremony.

Just inserted a chest tube
for a hemothorax.

CT showed tandem fractures at T and L .

Okay.

Alright, Nadi, I'm Dr. Lincoln.

Can you please press down
on your feet for me?

Strength out of bilaterally.

I couldn't have turned
the dumb bike if I wanted to.

The handlebars at the back
of a tandem bike are for show.

They don't move!

First-time rider?

Our son finally left for college
and we realized

we don't know how to
spend time alone together,

so Emma bought a tandem bike and said,

"Let's ride bikes in our undies
with other people."

Is it hot in here
or am I having a hot flash?

Get her to MRI.

I'm worried about damage
to her autonomic nervous system.

Her wife, Ms. Correa, bed .

Ms. Correa? I'm Dr. Lincoln. I'm...

I'm one of the doctors treating Nadi.

- Is she mad?
- She's hurt.

Oh, that's worse than mad.

As in, injured.

Uh, we need to do an MRI
to further evaluate her spine.

When I heard that they were
bringing back the Undies Ride,

I thought, "This is it," you know?

We'll put on our finest, hop on,
and it'll spice things up.

And then this rider next to us
distracted me,

and the priest... The pri...

Can somebody see if this priest is okay?

- Priest?
- They ran over a priest.

Not on purpose, though. I mean...

I completed my plastics
fellowship at Cleveland Clinic,

and then complemented that with
a burn rotation at Pittsburgh

and then moved to Hopkins.

That's where I developed
my free flap technique.

You've accomplished a lot
in a short time.

I graduated from Columbia at .

Like Dr. Pierce here.

Can you talk a little bit
about your experience

in pediatric reconstructive surgery?

We run a pro bono program here
started by Dr. Avery.

We fly the kids in, do their surgeries,

- arrange for follow-ups.
- No, thank you.

I'm sorry?

I draw the line at free.

The program sounds adorable, though.

Late, late, late, late.

So late.

Jo, residents can't be late!

Do you need help?

No, no, no, I-I'm good. I got this.

You just... you go ahead. I'll catch up.

Yeah. Okay. Okay.

Okay. Let's go.

Okay.

Ow!

How are we gonna do this?

Oh, excuse me.

Yeah.

I require two years'notice,
not two weeks.

I don't know what Richard told you...

You know, I went to Minnesota once.

It's cold. Frigid.

- It makes you mean.
- Like my mother,

to whom they're dedicating
a research library.

Or that's what they told you
to get you there.

- I have to go. I have to go.
- I...

- Where were we?
- Research.

In about two months, my lab will receive

another grant to move forward
on mRNA technology

and its role in vaccine development,

as well as treating various cancers.

Wow. I read your paper last year.

You're doing great work.

Thank you.

You're close.

Mini-livers...

...abdominal wall transplant,

ALPPS procedures.

You might hit groundbreaking one day.

I did have help.

Security!

This woman claims to be
Ellis Grey's daughter,

but she's sharing credit.

Here we are. Bright and shiny.

Wow.

She would be honored.

Oh, this isn't your mother's.

Her library is down the hall.

This lab...

...is for you, Meredith.

If you want it.

How's he doing?

He was in PEA, but we got a pulse back.

Damn it. Base deficit okay?

PH was . on his last ABG.

Okay, well, he's not hypoxic.

Uh, no evidence of a tension pneumo.

Let's get him to CT.

He's hypotensive,

heart rate's ,
but I-I can't feel a pulse.

Okay, here we go.

Okay, cardiac tamponade...
That explains the PEA.

We're gonna have to open him up.

- Alright, get me a -blade.
- Yep.

- Should I call someone else?
- Why?

He's your priest.

Alright, move. Got it.

Is there a fan in this thing?

You feeling warm again, Nadi?

Freezing cold.

I've got goose bumps.

Almost like my hair's standing on end.

I don't think that's normal.
Is it normal?

We'll know more soon.

I might need one of you to
take a look at my rotator cuff.

- Think I tweaked it.
- Doing what?

Working out.

Ah, you probably just strained it.

See it in patients all the time,
post-honeymoon.

- Aah, aah.
- Oh, sorry.

You know, it's that constant motion...

Scans are up.

Ah, thoracic compression fractures.

And, uh, surprise,

a tethered spinal cord with a syrinx.

That can't be from the trauma.

It's probably congenital,

but the lumbar fractures
are putting more tension on it.

Explains her odd sensations.

Can it be untethered
when you reduce the fractures?

Not by us.

Where you going?

I have to page freaking neuro.

Okay, we need more applicants.

I'm running out of surgeons like socks.

- Oh, thank you.
- Here. But how

did you sprain your wrist
on your honeymoon, anyway?

Handcuffs?

Oh, um... I'm not sure...

Oh, no. No, no, no. Never mind.
I didn't ask. No one asked.

Not my business. Oh, look, hey.

This guy trained under Mark Sloan

- in New York.
- Hey.

You specialize in cryogenic surgeries?

Do you want to tell us a bit about that?

Uh, cryonics.

Cooling people or pets
to liquid nitrogen temperatures

to prevent physical decay.

So you want to freeze people?

I already have.

I'm sorry. Tom Koracick
doesn't work here anymore?

No. We're hiring to replace him.

Oh. I'm just, uh...

And our Chief of General
Surgery is Dr. Meredith Grey,

which is who you'd be working
directly under, if hired.

Okay.

I-I am part of a reality show

where cameras follow surgeons
around during their day-to-day.

That won't be an issue, right?

That's what I made at my last hospital.

I'm gonna need a break.

First, with the help of a heart surgeon,

we're going to go through the chest

to fix the T fracture,

then we're gonna flip you over
and reduce the L fracture

and fix the tethered cord.

A priest, Emma. A man of God.

It was an accident.

An accident that you caused

because you couldn't keep your eyes off

those people in their thongs!

I wasn't looking at
their cheap lingerie!

There was an anti-oil activist

and she had something clever
written on her...

Written on her what?

Okay, we should really get up to the OR.

Uh, Emma, you're under observation.

Babe, I am so, so sorry.

I love you and I'm sorry,
and I will never forgive myself

if that man doesn't make it
out of surgery.

Are you okay? What's wrong?

I can't move my legs.

I can't feel them, either.

Okay, Nadi, try to move
your toes for me.

Okay, the fracture is putting
too much pressure on the tether.

We need to go right now.

- Okay, can we get some help in here?
- What?

- No. No, wait.
- Excuse me. Excuse me.

- Emma?
- Wait. Wait.

- We'll update you as soon as we can.
- Okay.

- Emma?
- Nadi, I love you.

Go ahead to OR .

There's state-of-the-art
cell-processing equipment,

including cell-selection
devices, bioreactors.

We can cryopreserve and store
samples for at least years.

We have two ISO Class clean rooms.

And a Batmobile.

- Kidding.
- Staff?

Expertly trained in cellular therapy

and quality control.

Cellular therapy. For what?

I'm developing an experimental
surgery for Parkinson's.

I have the money. I have the toys.

I have the cells.

I just need the surgeon
to persuade the FDA

to grant me the approval
for a clinical trial.

Why aren't you doing it yourself?

Because I'm the patient.

Hey, did Bailey or Richard
tell you to call me?

Both. How's the trip?
They offered you a job yet?

I am not answering that.

Yeah, that was a stupid question.

Listen, whatever they've offered
you, you can't take it,

because I cannot sit through
any more bloody interviews.

How are you? How's Austin?

He's the same.

I'm really sorry.

Stop apologizing to me.

I mean it.

You're an excellent dad.

You don't want to move to Minnesota.

I mean, I've heard
they sculpt heads out of butter.

I am hanging up now.

Bye.

Everyone's drunk,
half-naked, and injured.

- It's like prom with blood down there.
- Mm.

I would have had fun at that prom.

Teddy's about to do a lung resection.

I need someone on the spleen
while I repair the liver lac.

He's bleeding too fast to wait.

- I came as soon as Webber let me.
- Thank you.

Father Christopher's niece just arrived.

- She's waiting downstairs.
- No, Father Patrick.

Call them back
and make sure that they know

before they make a horrible
mistake with the family.

No, no. Wait, wait, wait! Don't do that.

Um, this is Father Christopher.

Okay, I haven't been
to church in years,

but I thought he was too old
to be Father Pat.

But we asked your mom's
favorite priest to marry us.

I mean, y-you asked.

It was the one thing
that you were in charge of.

I know. It turned out
that Father Patrick

had a thing on our date, so...

Well, I mean, you asked him like
a month ago. He really couldn't...

Owen, when did you ask him?

Oh, boy.

Two days ago.

How's it going, Schmitt?

He needs a head CT and... an earlobe,

and I don't know how to fix his face.

Can someone fix his face?

He's on shrooms!

But you still have to save him
because I love him.

But you should know
that he's on shrooms.

- I can take care of that.
- Please.

Dr. Sike to oncology.

Dr. Sike to oncology.

Alright, vitals are stable,

so I'm gonna go check in
with Dr. Webber downstairs.

Good luck with the tether.

How did she go this long

without knowing she had a tethered cord?

She said she had back trouble
her whole life.

She just tried to ignore the pain.

Which earned her more pain, didn't it?

Okay, deep breath, everyone.

Cutting the filum.

Nico, Levi rides, doesn't he?

Would you ever join him
on a tandem bike?

I don't find it that necessary
to share hobbies,

especially Levi's.

Independence is healthy.

Well, there's independence,

then there's doing whatever you want

despite the other person.

Damn it. We lost her potentials.

- What happened?
- Either I paralyzed her...

or she's bleeding into the syrinx.

Dr. Lin, when you were
chief of plastics at...

Assistant chief.

Uh, oh, so if we were to hire you,

this would be your first time
in this position?

Yes.

Like you, when you became
chief of surgery here.

I read your bio
and of your journal articles.

All very impressive.

I know you need doctors.

Grey-Sloan is facing
a physician shortage.

The entire country is facing
a physician shortage.

At least , healthcare
workers d*ed from COVID,

and just as many have walked
away from medicine altogether,

so you need me.

And honestly,
the only reason I'm available

is because I hate Northern winters.

And also because my current chief

is a man who enjoys vacation homes

and only hires women because he has to.

W...

Hey, may we help you?

You a plastics candidate?

Y-Yes?

Congratulations.
You now have privileges.

We have a guy who just
blew off half his face

with illegal fireworks.

Come on.

Guess someone should show me
where I can get changed?

My meds usually give me
about three hours,

which I find is enough time
to consult on a patient

or wine and dine a brilliant
surgeon across state lines.

Are you on Levodopa?

Levodopa, anti-cholinergics,

amantadine, and the occasional
cannabis gummy.

- Prescription, of course.
- Of course.

Meredith, when people see
your name on something,

they see cutting-edge.

They know you're gonna
see it through to the end.

That's what I need.

And don't you want to be the
name who saved David Hamilton,

Minnesota's thoroughbred?

Thoroughbred?

Well, retired thoroughbred,
but, you know,

still pretty good.

- Tell me how it works.
- Starts with skin cells.

Turn them into pluripotent stem cells,

and then differentiate those

into dopamine-producing brain cells,

and then inject them into the brain.

Centers in Japan have been
doing it with mice for years.

You would be the public face
of a possible cure

to a disease
that has devastated millions.

Meredith?

I'm not a neurosurgeon.

But you'll attract the best.

You know we're not technically married.

I mean, he didn't finish the ceremony,

and he didn't sign the certificate.

- We're mostly married.
- That's not how it works.

So, Riggs and I broke up.

- What?
- What? When?

Couple months ago.

Pandemic casualty.

We discovered we were
a couple who enjoyed

high highs and low lows,

and after staring at
the same four walls for a year

while watching people die, we were done.

He signed back up with his NGO
and shipped out two days later.

You should have said something.

It was your big day,
but then I decided that my news

was part of the theme... Crap show.

Ahh.

- Damn it. V-fib.
- Push one of epi.


Come on.
No, come on, Father Christopher.

Stay with us.

Charge paddles to .

Don't do this.

- Paddles.
- Come on.

Okay.

Come on.

Sorry about this, Father. And clear.

Once again.

And clear.

Come on.

- You see anything?
- No.

Expose more of the dura.

Amelia, I-I've already opened enough.

We're well into the cord.

And I still don't see any bleeding.

Open it higher.

I trust you.

-blade.

Well, maybe you don't see any
blood because there isn't any.

Or I cut the cord.

You didn't cut the cord.

Done.

There it is. Bleeding in the syrinx.

Thank you.

You're welcome.
Now let's get this clot out.

-blade.

Got high and set off illegal fireworks.

and invincible.
Majority of my trauma patients.

Metz.

I'm gonna be in here awhile.

Did you want to finish
the interview, or...?

Well, Dr. Lin, we can reschedule.

No, now's good. I think better in here.

Irrigation. And cut.

Then where were we?

We were asking about her training.

Right, well, I completed my residency

in otolaryngology at NYU,

where my mentor, Dr. Joyce Wu,

taught me how to use
an -gauge needle to...

gauge, Schmitt.

Oh. Right. Um, here.

...to differentiate between
living and dead tissue,

even in the most extreme of cases.

This is very extreme.

The face is filled with robust
vasculature, Dr. Schmitt.

It can bleed.

Eyes on the field, please.

Mm.

What other questions do you have for me?

His injuries were just too severe.

I am so sorry,
but we weren't able to save him.

Your uncle seemed like...
He seemed like a wonderful man.

He was.

And at least he d*ed doing
what he loved most in the world.

Weddings.

He loved seeing people in love.

We are so sorry for your loss.

Teddy, maybe we should just go home.

Our priest d*ed on our wedding day?

He wasn't ourpriest. He was apriest.

Okay, apriest d*ed on our table
on our wedding day.

- I mean, is that a sign?
- No. Come on.

Megan, I... Come with me.

Oh, my God. He d*ed?

The priest d*ed?

He... He lived a really good, long life.

And your wife is gonna be okay.

She should have a full recovery.

We k*lled a priest.

She's not gonna be okay.

She's gonna hate me
more than she already did.

- She doesn't hate you.
- She does.

She hates me.

Isn't that what marriage is?

A really great first few years,

and then you both just
quietly hate each other

for the rest of your life?

I don't think... I was trying to do
something fun.

I was just trying to do something

that we could talk about, you know?

I was trying to not be those two people

who sit around and hate each other

because they don't have
anything in common anymore.

I just gave her more reason to hate me.

♪ Hope it's what you want

- Oh, Dr. Grey?
- Mm.

May I show you to the bar?

- Hi.
- Hi.

How did you find me?

Well, five-star hotel
right next to the hospital.

I took a chance.

Thanks.

I didn't think you saw me
at the restaurant.

Well, you're pretty hard to miss.

How's your date?

Uh, ooph.

Tiny portions. Terrible conversation.

- Sorry.
- Yeah, it was rough.

She starts every sentence with,
"Yeah, but..."

And then the story never ends.

Never. I'm not kidding.

She's probably at home right now
talking to her Labradoodle

about mergers and acquisitions.

Nick.

Meredith.

I'm seeing someone.

Oh. Okay.

Is it serious?

- No.
- No.

No, I'm not seeing someone.

I just completely...

I don't even know why I said that.

That's okay.

Well, I was, and then...

his son had a hard time with it, so...

But...

I don't know why I'm even telling you.

- 'Cause I'm easy o talk to.
- Mm.

I'm not sleeping with you.

Good. That's great.
I'm not sleeping with you.

My niece Charlotte...

She says thanks, by the way,

for saving my kidney.

That's the kind of deep
conversation I get from her

from some crowded dorm.

Oh, you got her to college.

Yes. House is quiet.

Hey. Do you miss the noise?

Desperately.

I, um...

- I got COVID.
- Mm.

It was very bad.

I almost d*ed.

So you're a miracle...

like me.

- I guess.
- Yeah.

It's a lot of pressure, isn't it?

Being a miracle.

It's like...

...what you gonna do with it?

That very question haunts my dreams.

You want another drink?

Yes...

but still not sleeping with you.

That's possibly the nicest thing
anyone's ever said to me.

He didn't die.

He'll need subsequent surgeries,
but he's very much still here.

Thank you.

Dr. Lin, we would like
to formally offer you

the chief of plastics position.

Wow, that's... Thank you.

Tell us the "but."

I rely heavily on residents

to help with my patient load
and practice.

- We have residents.
- I move quickly.

I teach by doing.

I don't have time to
go through each step in detail,

and I don't like to
hold trainees' hands.

I bring residents in
on high-level surgeries,

and in return, I expect them
to anticipate my next move.

It's what I need to do this job,

and based on what I saw in there today,

I'm sorry, but your residents
aren't where I need them to be.

Um, e-e-excuse me, Dr. Lin.

The pandemic took surgeries
out of our residents' hands.

They are a year behind because of it.

Now, you're gonna find that
anywhere you go,

but what you won't find anywhere else

is anyone as determined as I
to bring them up to speed.

Dr. Webber...

I will make them better, Dr. Lin.

You have my word.

I'll think about it.

We beg?

You're coming. Yes.

Oh, I really don't want to grab a drink

and I don't want to see people.
Owen, please

...Yeah, yeah, come on. Come on. Keep...

What is happening?!

We are raising a glass
to Father Christopher.

We are accepting donations
to his church,

and we, Teddy, we're getting married,

because weddings were
his favorite thing.

Owen.

We've waited almost years
to do this, Teddy.

Let's not waste any more time.

This dress smells like antiseptic.

And this place is decorated
for, like, the Phoenix Fair.

Well, maybe it's our theme,
you know, rising from the ashes.

Come on. Come on.

Who's gonna actually marry us?

- Hello, that would be me.
- Uh... Yeah, here she is.

Here she is.

I got ordained in minutes
in the attendings' lounge.

I should have known
that I would be the one

to actually make this thing happen.

- Please stand over here.
- What? Me? I'm sorry.

Okay, wait, what about your mom
and the kids?

Oh, they're right there.

Aah! Oh, my God!

- Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
- Hi.

Hi.

Okay, okay. Okay, okay.
Let's do this. Let's do this.

Okay, okay, I'm doing it.

- Okay, ready?
- Okay.

Hey, everyone. Hi, everyone.

Thank you all so much for being here.

Sorry about the last-minute invite.

You have all been through
so much with us,

and it just wouldn't be the same
without all of you here,

so thank you.

Now he says it.

Okay, picking up where we left off,

- hours later...
- Yeah.

- Owen...
- Yes.

...do you take Teddy to be your wife?

I do.

Teddy, do you take Owen
to be your husband?

You have known me longer
than anyone else,

and you've been
my other hand in surgery,

my soccer partner, my confidante,

and you literally have even been
my cover in m*llitary ops.

And...

now you are the father of our children

and soon to be my husband.

That's right.

And I never...
I never want to let you go.

- I love you.
- I love you.

So you do or you don't?

I do! I do! I absolutely do!

Okay, okay,
before anything else happens,

I now pronounce you husband and wife.

Kiss, for God's sake.

We did it! We did it!

Finally!

I know that marriage
can be a faulty institution,

but I... I want to do it right.

I want to do it better
than my parents did.

I want that for Scout.

And I want it for me.

Link...

I can't.

Are you sure?

I can...

but I don't want to.

And you used to not want to with me.

I got through this last year

because I did it
with the woman that I love.

I learned more about myself
than I ever thought I would.

I learned that I...

I want more of it.

I-I don't want a year, Amelia,

I want a lifetime. With you.

Link, I love you.

And I love Scout.

And I love how you are with Scout.

I love it.

Then marry me, Amelia.

No.

Is that for me?

No, no. This is for me.

According to Nico,
you strained my rotator cuff.

- Me?
- Yeah.

You were the one who
wanted to go out on the deck.

And you said you wanted to look
at the stars.

I thought you meant look at the stars,

you know what I'm saying?

- Like, code.
- Women don't speak in code.

- Maggie Pierce.
- Mm.

So poised at work.

If only they knew.

Want to get out of here?

I dowant to get out of here, yeah.

- We're taking these fries, though.
- Yeah.

Whoo!

So, uh, what's happening
with your youngest?

You... You... You never finished
your sentence.

Your youngest is having moments of...

Panic att*cks.

- They're very intense.
- Mm.

It started when he found out
I was dating,

when I was trying to...

...and, uh, I stopped

as soon as I saw what
it was doing to him, but, uh...

Cheers.

He's still very anxious
and has these episodes.

I have no idea what to do.

Well, how about Sunday?

For dinner.

You and your boys come to my place.

Uh, : .

And bring dessert.

Uh, and if it's fruit,
you'll get shown the door.

- Eh?
- Okay.

- Alright.
- Thank you.

You try just as hard.

...even better than you used to.

Ahh.

I couldn't take Luna in to daycare.

I never even went in the building.

Every time I walk out of a room,

I wonder if I'm making Luna feel
the way I must have felt

when my mom left me
at that fire station.

I never want to leave her side.

Ever.

Clearly. Look at my hair.

I hate you!

What?

I...

Well, you're... You're gonna feel guilty

every time you walk out that door.

That's not gonna change.

All that means is that

she is number one in your mind
all the time,

and that's how it should be.

I think it's over with Amelia.

I thi... I think it's really over.

That's the stupidest thing
I've ever heard.

Isn't it?

Can we go home?

Yeah.

But what if it still doesn't
feel like a win anymore?

So, how long are you in town?

Um, just a couple more days.

They've asked me to stay
and look at some research, so...

Does that mean you've stopped playing?

Alright.

I'm not inviting you in.

- That's okay.
- Okay.

I'm not asking.

Thanks for walking me.

- Of course.
- Okay.

- Good night.
- Good night.

Keep walking.

So bossy.

No.

It means it's time to change the game.
