For example, Teddy is stressed because Tom and Owen are both accompanying her to a birthing class.
TO THE BLUE ROOM!
Parker finds her breathing heavily, irritated that the azure habitat is not doing its job.

He calls Carina, and we quickly learn that Teddy has an insufficient cervix.
Well, thats not good.
Carina maneuvers the hospital bed so Teddys feet incline in the air while her head is down below.
Over in the Jungle Room, Karev and Meredith brood about their significant others.
I expected their moods to drastically change surrounded by all that foliage, but I didnt notice a difference.
Karev is mad that Jo wont answer his phone calls.
Hes worried about his wife running off to find her birth mom.
Meredith is mad at DeLuca for being a pain in her butt.
Hes doing a pretty good job avoiding Meredith, and shes about to throw down with him.
Meredith isnt the only one lending a helping hand.
You see, he was at a conference in San Diego.
Later, Amelia reminds Link that their interlude was nothing more than pain management.
It was acute, one dose, zero refills, the opposite of chronic.
Link agrees to keep a safe distance just as Webber puts them on a case together.
Theres been a snowmobile accident.
Amelia and Link manage Kari, who has fractures on her vertebrae.
Webber leaves them, and Links pheromones, to check on the other person who was on the snowmobile.
Their name is Toby and they are genderqueer.
The pronouns throw Webber off his game, and he has trouble adjusting.
Or should I say, he wonders why he has to adjust.
Can someone send him over to the Jungle Room?
Maybe that will help him chill?
Her levels are off again, which is very odd.
As they give her insulin, word gets out that Nora is a math whiz.
She cannot be bested.
Maggie, Schmitt, Qadri, and even Bailey do their best to usurp Nora, but none prevail.
Its all fun and games until Qadri finds a juice box behind Noras pillow.
So this is why her levels were off.
We learn that Nora sabotaged her levels because shes afraid to get better.
If she does, she will have to go back to school.
Shes bullied at school, but she has awesome friends who like math at the hospital.
Its her body and she doesnt want the surgery.
Karev is not happy with DeLucas tone.
Karev makes DeLuca walk away or get fired.
TO THE GREEN ZONE!
DeLuca walks away, not in the direction of the Jungle Room, while Teddy remains stationary.
But shes not alone.
Nice job, Owen.
He is not happy that he wasnt called and wants Owen to know that he is not backing down.
In fact, he is fighting for Teddy.
They may have history, but Owen made his choice and picked Amelia a long time ago.
Toms history is simple: He picked Teddy.
Things are looking good, until they arent.
Complications occur and Kari ends up being paralyzed from the neck down.
She and Link, as well as Avery, share the news with Toby, who understandably freaks out.
Toby has the tools and the ability.
Dont let her down.
Also, math rocks.
Nora agrees to do the surgery and Karev books an O.R.
Instead of heading to the Blue Room for a little perspective, DeLuca goes home.
After a while, they hold hands.
Then the door is locked.
Then they do more than hold hands.
Is it the Blue Room?
(Are we still saying shipping?)
Shes not interested if thats how hes going to be.
DeLuca admits that he was angry about his father and he just needed some time.
But now he needs Meredith.
Then they do more than hold hands.
They eat a dinner he prepared.
And finally, Karev comes home to find Jo in the bed.
He shouts her name, kisses her hard, and then leaves the room.
No, Jo isnt half-dead, but she is devastated.
Get some plants and blue lights, Karev.
Youre going to need them.
