Its likely youve forgotten that 2007 was a very turbulent year for our military.
The drama-heavy hour opens in Baghdad.
Owen asks Teddy and Megan where Nathan is.

Megan explains that Nathan had been on call last night and that shell go get him.
Megans cell rings; its Nathan, who is in L.A. with Farouk.
Theyre waiting for Megan to arrive and trying to get the house ready before she does.
Back in Iraq, we watch Megan wake up a sleeping Nathan.
She hops off the bed and starts throwing his clothes at him so hell hurry up and get dressed.
As she gets to the bottom of the pile, she finds a necklace.
The newly engaged couple jumps onto the helicopter with Owen and Teddy.
Megan giddily exclaims, showing them her necklace.
Teddy surprisingly replies with an impassive, Wow, thats interesting.
The group touches down at the medical treatment center in Fallujah and lines up for formation.
For the record, the best Army ranking burns are always the ones that involve your mom shade.
They need all surgeons on deck.
Back in the present day, Megan is starting her Jeep when Owen jumps in the front seat.
Are you sure about this?
admiration?…as he breaks down Salt-N-Pepas Push It with Megan.
In L.A. Farouk is telling Nathan how nervous he is about the changes to come.
Of course Nathan tells him its fine and puts Farouk up on the counter before cleaning up the mess.
We hear a woman who had been brought in yelling in Arabic.
Megan quickly realizes she doesnt want to be touched by men and goes to intervene.
A soldier tells Teddy that the Muslim woman tried to wrestle the gun away from the shooter.
This tidbit doesnt seem to sit so well with Nathan.
Owen tells her if he makes the next one she has to stay in Seattle.
This is the moment I fully understood just how deprived this poor boy had really been.
In the next flashback to Iraq, we see the siblings once again in the OR.
In a flash, she takes over the surgery and saves the patients arm and leg.
He tells Teddy he was going to come clean, but Megan found the necklace and he panicked.
He then admits that the necklace belongs to someone else before she throws it at him.
Theyre interrupted by the news that Sana needs to be intubated.
Once the intubation is done, Megan wants to get her on a chopper to Baghdad.
She tells Owen that all shes ever wanted for him was to have happiness as well.

You married a tumor, she says matter-of-factly.
They each admit that theyre not happy and give their wedding rings back to each other.
Now is our time toserve them.
