We take things for granted.
Taking Relationships For Granted
Sweet little Zola needs a drink of water.
Was Zola scarred for life?
This does not satisfy Merediths concerns for her children, though.
Shes been takingher early morning romps with DeLucafor granted.
Yes, they will kiss.
No, hes not sleeping on the couch.
Harsh, but true.
Avery finally admits that everyone is worried about her, including Alex.
She was happy and now shes not.
She was fine one day and now shes not.
This is the moment Avery calls his friend out.
He can smell it.
Vodka in the water bottle.
He applauds her for having the decency not to see patients.
Jo gets up to bolt, just as Avery begs her to let him help.
Then Alex piles on at home.
Alex sees her abandon and raises her a Bailey.
As in, If you come to work drunk again, Ill tell Bailey.
Taking Limbs For Granted
Remember the lady who became a quadriplegic during Link and Amelias surgery?
The same patient who prompted them to get busy in the blue room?
Well, Koracick has some stem cells that may help her get the feeling in her arms back.
Since the surgery, Toby is hypersensitive about arms, legs, hands, and feet.
Koracick is super pumped to have Amelia and Ortho Barbie help him give Tobys mom sensation in her hands.
But first, he has to make fun of Amelia for dating a jock.
Amelia plays along, noting that Link is a great guy and they are having fun.
Koracick smiles and calls Link Amelias Altman.
Amelia blesses Koracicks heart and gently explains the history Teddy and Owen have together.
Buy a clue, doc.
That baby wasnt the product of a one night stand.
It doesnt matter that Teddy is playing house with Koracick.
She will end up with Owen and everyone needs to understand that reality.
Thats why shes hiding behind a pretty guy.
He thinks shes not over Owen.
True, but life is full of choices.
This is the easier, softer route for her.
She hopes Koracick will give it a try.
That means he has to give up Teddy.
Taking Talents For Granted
Schmitt is bothered by Dr. Kims pending job interviews.
Hes upset that the stud is looking at San Francisco after his fellowship year is up.
According to Bailey, Dr. Kim is being wooed by all the big hospitals.
This seems to c’mon Dr. Kims patient Josh and his grandfather Pop Pop.
Bailey assures them that Dr. Kim is just as good as Link.
No one should worry about anything.
This is when I begin to worry.
Schmitt exclaims, Thats it?
when Dr. Kim finishes.
He nods and responds, Just because I made it look easy, doesnt mean it is.
This is when I begin to worry again.
After surgery, Josh seems fine.
Hes talking about college, laughing with Pop Pop, and then hes on the floor in a heap.
Something is terribly wrong.
Dr. Kim made it look easy.
And now the mistake will haunt him forever.
Bailey makes him stand there as she delivers the news to Pop Pop.
Dr. Kim puts on a somber face but never cracks.
Then he slips into a suit and prepares for his Skype interview.
Schmitt suggests he postpone, but superstar ortho surgeons looking for dream jobs press on.
She barks orders Dahlia, even requesting her own CT scan.
DeLuca and Meredith are convinced this is not an obstruction because the womans pain is too severe.
What they didnt expect from the CT scan was a baby.
The woman had her period.
How can this be true?
Shes in labor and the babys head is crowning.
Start breathing, lady!
Meredith grabs some gloves and hauls herself into the room to deliver the baby.
The woman has two wombs.
Hooray for medical marvels!
Now, what should she name the baby…
Taking Depression For Granted
Owen has taken Megans advice.
The therapist concedes and offers muscle testing.
This will help them figure out unresolved patterns of stress.
Something that made him feel distrust.
Owen remembers an award he won at school.
He was very proud and eager to share with his parents.
When he got home that day, his mother told him his father had died.
It was the best he had ever felt and the worst he had ever felt.
Owen doesnt trust joy.
He stops it before something terrible happens or the bad news comes.
But there is no more bad news.
Its already come and Owen needs to stop replaying that distrust in his head.
Owen obeys and sobs like a baby.
Taking Sobriety For Granted
Its a night for oddball happenings in the ER, thats for sure.
A darling woman seems to have slipped and fallen on her stiletto.
Its currently lodged in her chest.
Its clear by the womans story and her slurred speech that alcohol contributed to this predicament.
Its later confirmed by Richard, who recognizes the woman as Gemma.
Ollie was her sobriety coach, too, and she was seventeen years sober.
Notice I said was sober.
Seeing Richard just reminds Gemma of her failures.
She doesnt want him on her case and makes Maggie throw him out of the room.
