"Word's getting around" Madelyn says walking up to Amelia "You're gonna have a full gallery. Everybody wants to see the show. You feeling good, confident?"
"Ahh i'll be fine" Amelia replies
"You okay? Do you need anything?" Madelyn asks again
Amelia shakes her head "I'm fine. I'm great. I just... Prep alone, so... I will see you on the other side"
"Okay. You got this" Madelyn says giving her sister a quick hug

Jo approaches Madelyn in the ER "Hey, Mads, any chance you could lose me tonight?" she asks
"What? No" Madelyn replies
"Oh, I just thought that it's kind of quiet down here, and now Dr. Herman's surgery is happening. Every other resident is watching that surgery" Jo says
"I'm sorry you pulled the short straw, but I need someone down here" Madelyn replies
"Oh, so, wait. I'm gonna be the only resident who's down here?" she asks
Madelyn nods "Just you. I'm counting on you to hold down the fort. Can I do that?"
Jo smiles widely "Yes. Absolutely. I'm your girl"
"Perfect"

Madelyn and April enter Amelia's gallery hand in hand taking a seat
April goes to get back up "Yeah, maybe I should..."
"You're fine sweetheart, it's okay" Madelyn says leaning over to kiss her cheek
"April" Richard says acknowledging the redhead
"I-I'm not working. I'm... I'm just... I'm not ready to work yet" April replies instantly
"No, no, no, it's fine. I'm just... I'm glad to see you" Richard says
"I'm just gonna sit. Dr. Herman was with me on my worst day. I just wanted to be with her for hers" April says
"How's this going?" Madelyn asks Richard
"Uh, she's trying to dissect around the fornix. But she still has a long way to go" Richard answers
"So, why are they not operating?" Madelyn questions
~~~~~
A while later Madelyn finds herself standing in the scrub room with Richard "All she has to do now is place her radioactive seeds. They'll kill whatever tumor cells are left behind and keep them from coming back"
"Well, I'm happy to help. I'm just saying, "why me?" Madelyn replies
"She needs an assist who she doesn't have to worry about. Besides she's your sister, and I believe that all Shepherds have a talent for neuro even the ones who didn't choose it"
