MEREDITH: In a recent experiment...

[CELLPHONE CHIMES]

...scientists observed
that single human cells

in a Petri dish will actually
seek each other out...

♪ Walk like I talk like I run ♪

♪ Working like a boss, we don't
need to take a freebie ♪

...and adhere to each other

I was.

I'm always first.

When cells team up...

Big day.

- Big day.

They thrive and evolve
and eventually become something

bigger than their single selves
ever could have been.

Morning, Winston.

Uh, Dr. Webber.

Uh, I-I married you and Maggie,

so, you... you can call me Richard.

Right. Richard.

Ah. [CHUCKLES]

Uh, how's Maggie's father?

- Oh, he's better.
- Ah.

Yeah, yeah. I'm hoping
to go out there next week.

Ah.

How's the Webber Method coming along?

- Morning, Dr. Webber!
- ZANDER: We were just wondering

what we should be prepared for today.

- SARA: Which O.R. to be in.
- And what surgeries we're doing.

Please and thank you.

I'd say the method is going pretty well.

Let's move!

MEGAN: Okay. Don't forget to breathe.

M-Mom, Mom, stop worrying.

Dr. Hayes says Dr. Ndugu
is the best in the country.

Other people think so, too.

- I looked them up.
- I'm not worried, my love.

And, also, people don't like being told

that they were background checked.

- I'm so sorry.
- It's all right.

Dr. Hayes and the Internet
are absolutely right.

I'm good.

- You ready to roll?
- Yeah.

- All right.
- Okay.

- I will see you later.
- Yep.

Bye. [SNIFFS]

Pericardiectomy
can take five, six hours.

Complex procedure.

Where you remove
the calcified pericardium

that's been constricting his
heart for God knows how long.

What kind of surgeon-slash-mom
did you think I was

if I didn't know that?

I know. Just protocol.

You talk to your brother yet?

Or were the curtains closed
because this is one of those

"secret" heart surgeries that Grey-Sloan

is so well known for?

What, you have one drink with a guy,

and you're suddenly in
the "no secrets" zone?

Don't you think this relationship

is moving kinda fast?

I'll talk to him. Today.

Now.

Take good care of him, or
I'll come back and k*ll you.

Thank you.

No, but, seriously, I have the training.

I'm trying to call Ben,

OWEN: We need to activate
mass casualty protocol.

- We don't know what happened yet.
- It felt like a b*mb.

We need to start setting up beds

and make sure we have enough blood.

Schmitt, grab another resident.

Prep the trauma rooms,
cancel elective surgeries,

and tell the O.R.s to be on standby.

Private, Corporal,
help us set up a triage station

- outside, A.S.A.P.
- Yes, sir.

Owen, they're not medical personnel.

They're patients, and
they're not in % health.

They're also soldiers who have
trained for these kind of events.

In a few minutes, we're gonna
be flooded with mass trauma.

We need all the help we can get.

There was a pipeline expl*si*n.
He's still not answering.

- [PHONE LINE RINGING]
- It's gonna be okay.

Yeah.

MEREDITH: So, the committee at the FDA

said the first step
toward getting approval is,

we have to prove that the cells
can survive at every stage.

They need to make it through
the reprogramming process,

differentiation, suspension
prep, and cryopreservation

without turning into cancerous cells.

So we've succeeded in
the cell maturation process.

- I've succeeded at that.
- Well, you have,

which is a milestone in itself,
but now we need to prove

that the cells can survive
once they've been injected

- into the brain.
- Ready here.

You're putting my precious
biopsied cells

into a fake brain.

It's a D-printed hydrogel brain.

Injecting Trial now.

We're using test cells,
and we dyed them blue

to visualize their behavior
once injected.

- Crap.
- "Crap"?

If the cells stay in a blob,
they'll die.

Very scientific. How do we fix it?

We need to try different
injection techniques.

Okay. How many of these
gel brains do we have?

A-And how much do they cost?

MAN: Oh, there's plenty.

And think of it as a contribution

for, uh, you know, science. It's a...

Her name's not on the surgical schedule,

Nice robot.

let a grudge interfere

with groundbreaking research?

When we apply for the FDA approval,

how many people are gonna be against us

because Tom Koracick
slept with their mothers,

their sisters, and their daughters,

and then gloated about it?!

And it's not the sex, for the record.

It's the gloating!

block a possible cure

so we're moving slowly

to avoid complications.

HAYES: You wanna take a break?
Go get some air?

When we were in Fallujah,
I used to tell him

about all the cartoons he'd get to watch

once we were rescued.

I'd sing him the theme songs
to make him laugh.

After we moved to L.A.,

whenever he'd get triggered
by loud, expl*sive sounds,

I'd take him outside anywhere open

and hold his hands
and hum those cartoon songs.

He never actually watched any of them.

He was always too impatient,
but whenever he got triggered,

I'd hum the songs and hold his hands.

It always calmed him down.

I have complete autonomy

That was very specifically

You brought me in for a reason,

so let me do the job
you brought me here to do.

Wow.

I didn't think you could
remind me any more of Ellis

than you did, but, well, I was wrong.

If that's meant to be an insult...

No, no, no. No, it's not.

I'm just not my, uh... I'm not
at my best self right now.

I understand.

I don't know that you do.

I didn't understand when I was your age.

Did you know your mother and I
worked together on a few patients?

Just for a few months. In .

Well, that was when she started

exhibiting the Alzheimer's symptoms.

Yeah, it started small.

The pauses. Casual forgetfulness.

I didn't know what it was,

but when I talked to her
about it, she bit my head off.

I was trying to be helpful,

trying to be understanding, but...

She was terrified.

Terror doesn't begin to describe it.

She was losing who she was.

I'm losing who I am.

Not... Not my memory,
but my purpose, my being.

My hands.

I see how hard it is,
and I want to help.

But I cannot help if you
continue to second-guess me.

You have to trust me to do
the job you recruited me to do.

Whatever it takes...

however long it takes...

and whomever it takes.

And who knows? Maybe Koracick
will be a bust and you can fire him.

Wouldn't that be fun?
