Bailey: The person that beat up DeLuca
is someone I thought you left behind years ago.
You're a good doctor!
You're exactly what we need right now in the clinic.
The Denny Duquette Clinic?
Unless you want me to fire you.
I took a pregnancy test last night.
And, uh, as I sat there waiting for the result,
I just watched him get more and more excited.
And when that stick was negative,
Owen's heart broke.
And... I was so relieved.
Now look me in the eye and tell me that he won't hate me.
Have you met the new resident?
She is great.
- This is... - Murphy!
Dr. Robbins.
You guys know each other?
- Um... - Yes.
Why would a Leah Murphy fail here
only to thrive somewhere else?
There is a fundamental flaw
in how we are teaching our residents.
And we have got to fix this.
You and me.
And Dr. Webber.
The residency program is your husband's department.
I know it is.
Meredith: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
She's coming today?
Mm-hmm. She is.
The saying's as true of the human body
as it is of a washing machine or a blender.
What did you tell the staff?
I sent them an e-mail, let them know
that she'll be at the hospital for a couple of days,
that she would be here to observe, assess.
At this point, that's all she'd be doing anyway.
Good. Smart.
No need to give anyone a scare...
not until we know more.
A good surgeon knows that if you go screwing around
with something that doesn't need screwing...
This is the right call?
This is the right call.
...you are the one who is liable to end up screwed.
[Door closes]
I'm saying you wouldn't be late if we didn't have to stop for gas.
Yeah, well, we wouldn't have had to stop
if you ever put gas in the car.
The light wasn't even blinking yet.
When the light is blinking, it's already too late.
Who stops for gas before the light blinks?
And I'm late.
- Have a good day. - Yeah.
I know.
I have to talk to him, and I will.
But I haven't yet, so you don't have to look at me like that.
I was just looking at my phone.
Everything's fine with me and Owen.
Oh, yeah, it sounds great.
It's absolutely fine.
We're gonna be married for a long time,
so the baby conversation
can just sit on the back burner for a while,
and it'll be fine because it... it's fine.
You know, you just said, "It's fine," a lot of times.
Hey. Did you guys see this e-mail?
What e-mail?
♪
"An education consultant is making a visit
to observe and assess our program"?
Who is Dr. Eliza Minnick?
Wouldn't know. I didn't get the e-mail.
Uh, education consultant, double board certified,
sports-medicine specialist.
Published 52 papers in the Journal of Surgical Education.
52?
This is because of me, isn't it?
They're gonna overhaul the program
because I beat up DeLuca.
Everything isn't about you. That doesn't even make sense.
A teacher beat up a student.
Oh. That makes sense.
The e-mail makes it sound like
she's just gonna wander around and then wander away.
Well, yeah, Bailey's not gonna BCC
a mass-firing announcement to the entire staff.
People panic.
- Why would you even say that? - You serious?
Minnick's kind of a legend.
I know a guy at Foster who dated a girl at Innsmouth
when she was doing their program's makeover.
Heads rolled.
Warren, you seriously know nothing about this.

Oh, did you see Minnick's Ted Med talk, though?
I think she's fascinating.
Oh, yeah, we'll see how fascinating she is
when she starts handing out pink slips.
Well, I'm safe,
because there's only a handful of people in this country
who can do what I do, unlike cardio surgeons.

Yeah, too fast to tell the Residency Director.
- [Sighs] - You got all these people worried.
I don't know what to tell them because you didn't keep me in the loop.
Oh, no one should worry.
D-Dr. Minnick is here to...
look around, observe.
That's... all.
Just to see if there's anything we could do better.
All right.
Well, when she arrives,
I probably should be the first one to meet her.
She and I could chat, I can show her around,
introduce her to people.
That's gonna be a problem.
She's already here.

Well, if she is in there with my residents,

When this method is working,
the resident and the attending function as one surgeon...
resident's the hands, attending's the brain.
You follow?
Let's give it a try.

Ben: Murphy's taking the lead. Look at that.
Stephanie: I mean, I date men,
but I might seriously ask Dr. Minnick to marry me.
- Dr. Karev. - You supposed to be up here?
- You gonna narc on me? - I'm thinking about it.
Think of it this way... In a couple weeks,
you might never have to see me again.
This might be the closest I get to an O.R. for the rest of my life.
Well, fine, if you're gonna be all pathetic about it.
Eliza: If you feel like you can continue...
Dr. Pierce, you talk her through.
Go ahead and place the stabilizer.
And if you get stuck, you...?
You stop.
- Ask for help. - You stop.
And then ask for help.
Don't get me wrong.
I love see one, do one, teach one.
It's how I learned. It's how we all learned.
So why put it out to pasture?
We're putting it on steroids.
With this technique, the resident gets to see one,
do one, teach one all in the same surgery...
every surgery.

Expect a save-the-date.
[Chuckles]
Okay, yes. Got it.

Hey.
Um, so I was thinking
that maybe we don't need to discuss the dating thing.
We could just kind of keep that to ourselves, you know?
You have a problem with me going out?
No. No, no, no.
It's not that.
You should do what you want. I want you to be happy.
This is not a "you" thing. It's me.
This whole thing is all pretty, um...
very weird.

God, it's so weird.
[Sighs] You said
Last night was not amazing. It was awful.
I sat down for all of five minutes,
and when he got up to get drinks at the bar,
I faked a page.
- You faked a page? - Yeah.
I told him there was an MVC, and I'm pretty sure
at that exact moment, someone crashed their car 'cause I lied.
That's not how it works.
And then I ran like the wind.
- [Sighs] - [Chuckles]
I don't know how people do this.
- Mm-hmm. - I've never done this.
I've never, like, sat across from someone
and said, "Hi. This is me. Who are you?"
I mean, I had, like,
friends that turned into boyfriends.
Met Matthew at work.
Then you.
Here we are.
How do you do this?
Well, you're kind of doing it.
I mean, you dip your toe.
You start by dipping your toe into the water,
and then eventually, you learn to swim.
Well, that's easy for you to say.
You probably dipped your toe all over town.
Look, you faked a page out there.
Okay? You got good instincts, kid.
[Chuckles]
It'll be a while before he's up and about,
but Emmett's gonna be fine.
Oh, wow. [Sighs]
Thank you.
Do you mind...
Is it possible for me to stay here tonight?
- Oh, I don't know... - Please.
Last night...
Would you believe we have been married for 20 years
and never spent a night apart?
I mean, you spend that much time with someone,
it gets so they drive you crazy.
[Voice breaking] But last night,
he wasn't there...

There's an Emmett-shaped hole in our house.

Richard: Don't squeeze the heart too much, Murphy.
- Got it. - Okay.
- Got it. - There.
Way to go, Murphy.
You just placed a heartstabilization device
- all on your own. - Um, now let me...
Don't touch.
Just use your words.
♪
- Use my words? - Mmhmm.
Explain it to her.
Incision. Shunt. Anastomosis.
That is not what I'm asking.
Break it down. Go step by step. You're trying to skip ahead.
Dr. Pierce thinks ahead.
Her mind is fast... faster than anyone's.
So she shouldn't be asked to dumb things down, okay?
Murphy, can you do the next step?
I can try,
but if Dr. Pierce is more comfortable stepping in...
I guarantee you she is,
but y will be more comfortable after you do it.
Okay.
Now that we've stabilized the heart,
we will administer esmolol to slow the heart rate
for better control.

Right, now go ahead and incise the diseased artery.
Uh... I don't... I don't want to do this.
I don't... I don't feel ready to do this.
Will you? Uh, is that all right?
- It's more than all right, Murphy. - Eliza: Exactly.
No shame.
When you've reached the limit, you tag out.
And when she does, you'll be able to see
exactly how much she knows
and how much she has left to learn.
Maggie: All right, first, I'm going to measure the shunt.
Okay. [Chuckles]
Let me back up.
First, I will incise the target artery,
and then I will insert the shunt.
And after that, then I'll prep for anastomosis.
Dr. Webber, will you check the internal mammary for flow?
Already started.
I noticed. Maybe Dr. DeLuca...
No.
I'm sorry?
This artery that will allow this woman to survive.
I'm not putting it in the hands of a first-year intern
who hasn't taken out a tonsil.
DeLuca, you've anastomosed a vessel before, right?
Yes, ma'am.
I've assisted on a femoral-artery repair.
That is not the same thing... not at all.
So, right there, I'm assuming you know what that is.
Uh, yes, it's... It's the, uh, IMA.
Exactly. See how it branches off to the right?
- Hey, just because he knows... - [Gasps]
Ugh! What the hell? You hit a branch of the mammary!
DeLuca, move and start some suction.
DeLuca, you are right there.
- I can't see anything. - I got it. I got it.
Got it.
I did it. It's done.
I had a clip for Dr. Webber.
I just... fixed it.
Right?
♪
You're upset, clearly.
Oh, is it clear?
- [Door slams] - Good.
I was afraid you might not catch my drift
because you're insane.
Have you never accidentally nicked a vessel?
Of course I have.
You did this on purpose.
You were about to clip the artery anyway.
I want you out of this hospital.
When I was 2,
my dad was looking through the phone book for swimming lessons.
My mom said, "Here's one," and tossed me in the pool.
Did I drown?
That's your innovation?
Throw a bloody patient at a novice to see what happens?
They did that 100 years ago... on the battlefield.
Dr. Webber, there were four surgeons around that table
we knew could've stopped her bleeding.
And when DeLuca made that save,
we learned there were actually five.
If he were allowed to perform in every surgery like he did today,
he would learn more and faster
with less pressure and less risk.
The patient was never in any danger
because we were standing right there.
