"They're so well rested." Ben says to them.
"And stupid." Alex says adds.
"And eager, like puppies." Meredith says looking down from the gallery.
"No, not like puppies.Chicks and ducks.Chicks and ducks." Maggie and Arizona says together.
"When did we start calling them that?" Meredith says to them as she looks at each of them.
"You've been gone for a year." Alex says to her as she turns her attention back to the interns.
"Left to their own devices, they would drown.." Arizona says as Callie looks at them.
"And take the patients down with them.God help us all." Callie says as they all watch the interns.

Rory was checking over the Neuro patients as Jackson caught up to her. "Hey I thought you were on field rotation?" Jackson says walking with Rory.
"I was but I sent Amelia instead. Thought I could be more help here." Rory told him as she checked her tablet for her next patient.
"Hey are you okay?" He asks her turning Rory to face him as she gave him a small smile.

Rory was in back to back surgeries as she was working on the Neuro cases. Rory finished with her last surgery as she walked out of the room stretching her neck as Catherine stood with her. "Hey sorry about your wedding." Rory says to her mother in law.
"Hey it can always be rearranged and what sort of a wedding day would it be without a mass casualty." Catherine says making Rory smiles at her slightly.
"Well I'm sure it'll be great whenever it is. Hard to believe I've been married to Jackson for three years feels like yesterday and the best gift of all pregnant with twins." Rory says as Catherine chuckles at her daughter in law as the two sat down on the bench.
"How are you doing?" She asks Rory looks at her playing with her hands.
"Honestly some days are still harder than others today I couldn't go to the sight I was just scared of getting flashbacks or reopening old wounds. I keep having nightmares of the plane crash too and it always feels so real. Dr Carr is great he's really helping." Rory says to Catherine.
"But somethings just take time to heal from. We're all here for you. If you need someone to take the kids or just to talk to who isn't Jackson or your brother I'm here." Catherine says as Rory smiles at her.
"Thank you." Rory says as Catherine hugs her.
Rory hugs her back. "We're family we look out for one another. You'll always be my daughter no matter what. Your a great mom to my grandchildren and a great wife to Jackson. I see how much he loves you and how much you love him. What the two of you have is rare and special. You've got this way of understanding each other that no one else can." Catherine says as Rory smiles at her.
"I got lucky you've got an amazing son and I couldn't wish for anyone better to share my life with." Rory says as Catherine nods at her.
"Well he got pretty lucky too." Catherine says as Rory's smile grows slightly.
