I'm walking around the hospital with Jackson after taking Cathy to daycare.

Savannah: have you been talking to Jer?

Jackson: yeah, I have. You talking to April?

Savannah: mhmm. I told April she can stay with us if she ever needs a place to crash.

Jackson: I told Jeremy the same.

Savannah: we're still going to Mer's dinner party tonight, right?

Jackson: yeah, we're good. Should we bring some food?

Savannah: I'm thinking about it.

Then, Jackson and I's pagers buzz at the same time.

Savannah: oh my god.

J&S: silver flood.

Jackson and I start making our way to the ER. On the way, we bump into Callie.

Callie: silver flood is a fracture feast. I need slings, splints, and pelvic binders, as many as you can get your hands on.

Savannah: silver flood?

Callie: silver flood. Oh, and page every on-call x-ray tech.

Jackson: haven't seen one of these since Mercy West.

Savannah: it's gonna be a good day, baby. I'm gonna be riding high on traumas and brains.

Cross: yes, but what is it?

When we make it to the ER, I could literally feel my heart skip a beat seeing all the traumas coming in.

Savannah: oh, yeah, baby.

Owen: you ready for this, Collins?

Savannah: you kidding me? A mix of trauma and neuro? This is the best day of my life. Nothing could beat this.

Owen: let's hope Avery doesn't hear you say that.

I throw on a trauma gown and immediately jump into action. I run over to an intern who was doing compressions.

Savannah: how long has she been down?

Cross 10 minutes. I ran through the ACLs v-fib protocol twice.

Savannah: let me handle this. Charge to 200. What happened?

The intern hands me the paddles.

Cross: he was having chest pains, so I gave him some nitro. His BP bottomed out all at once. I'm worried he was on ED meds. We asked him.

Savannah: well, was he? Clear!

Jackson walks up as we shock him.

Jackson: what happened?

Cross: he insisted he wasn't. We asked him several times. We told him what could happen.

Savannah: clear!

Jackson: he probably lied.

Cross: why would he do that when we told him?

Savannah: people can be stubborn, men usually are. That's why us women are better. Time of death 12:19.

Cross: what do... what do we do now?

Jackson: you notify the morgue.

Jackson and I walk off.

-later-

I heard about Owen giving the interns a "lesson" on how to speak to loved ones called the four Ls.
