"It sounds good to me" Maggie says

"Welcome to my life these days" Mer says

"Yeah mine too" Madelyn mumbles

"You chicks need to get laid" Alex says

"Uh huh" Madelyn replies

"That also sounds good to me" Maggie says

"Not without the grooming" Mer says

"It's in there. He can find it" Maggie says "What, he can't do a little work first?"

"I like her" Madelyn says

"Maddy, do you think i'm crazy?" Amelia asks rushing over to her sister

"Yes" Madelyn replies instantly

"I'm being serious. I'm about to give a presentation to a room full of surgeons about how I can remove Herman's tumour" Amelia says

"Okay. Well you wouldn't be the first Shepherd I know to operate on the inoperable" Madelyn says

"Is that supposed to help?!" Amelia exclaims

"Did it?"

"No"

"Look....I don't know if you're crazy or not. But what I do know is you're an amazing neurosurgeon. You can do it Amelia, you'd be crazy to think you couldn't" Madelyn says

"Okay. I got this. You're the best. Thank you" Amelia replies as she walks off mumbling something to herself

Jo had managed to convince Madelyn to go to joes with her, something they hadn't done in months.

"I don't know how you guys did it. It must've been like living in a frat house" Jo says downing another shot

"Oh you have no idea. You think Jackson and Alex are messy now, you should've seen them when they were residents. Disgusting" Madelyn says also taking another shot

"So it was you, Meredith, Derek, Alex, Jackson and..."

"April and Lexie" Madelyn finishes Jo's sentence

"That is a lot of people" Jo says

"Yup. Oh and Cristina used to come over a lot. Also Zola joined the gang and that's when we decided to move out"

"How did you not go insane?" Jo asks

"Lexie. I genuinely would've killed someone if she wasn't around to stop me." Madelyn replies smiling at the memories

"So not April?" Jo questions

"Oh no. April was the main reason I was insane" Madelyn says having another drink "Only because I was scared about the fact I knew i'd do anything for her...but I couldn't have her. Not back then anyway"

"But you have her now" Jo says

"Yeah" Madelyn replies sadly
