Daisy VO: "Those that go searching for love, only manifest their own lovelessness. And the loveless never find love, only the loving find love. And they never have to seek for it." Mark Twain
Seth dropped his taco. Never expecting that answer.
Leah's eyes were wide in shock.
Seth and Leah: What? How? when? where? Who is it?
Daisy smiled seeing them so eager to know about her soul bonded.
Neither had imprinted just yet, so they were excited to know about her inhuman side's other half.
They knew that Daisy wasn't too keyed into the idea of gaining a soul bonded, not after what happened with Lincoln.
Daisy literally felt like a part of her was ripped away when Lincoln died.
He was the only exception when it came to guys.
She had always fallen in love with woman, the thought of dating a guy repulsed her.
But with Lincoln it had been different. Probably the soul bond at work.
Hell, she still wears the ring he was going to propose to her with on a necklace around her neck every day.
Unconsciously she raised her hand to fiddle with it.
Daisy: Alright, calm down you two.
Seth: Sorry.
Leah: Yeah, but really, who is she? What does she look like?
Leah assumed it was a woman because Daisy promised to never date a guy again after Lincoln.
Daisy: Well this is where it gets ultra complicated.
Seth: What? Why? Did she not accept the bond? Does she even know about the bond?
Daisy: No, her name is Addison, she is a double board certified doctor. 38 or 39 I'm guessing. She's a redhead with blue eyes. It's complicated because the woman that Derek is married to... Yeah that's Addison. So not only is she married, which in all honesty, not for much longer, even if she does try and fix it with him, he's in love with Meredith and they have a real connection. But anyways, what I'm saying is, the woman who is the other half to my inhuman side, she singlehandedly uprooted my best friend's relationship. Who knows how long it'll take Meredith to recover from this?
Leah: Yeah, that does seem pretty complicated.
Seth: Well, how about you just befriend her for now, tell Meredith what happened. She should understand after you tell her that you have no choice in who you bond with. Right?
Seth asked innocently.
Daisy shared that same innocent quality as she smiled and nodded.
Daisy: You're right, thanks Seth.
Leah sighed. She loved her two packmates, but sometimes they try and see the best in everyone and they get hurt because of it.
She hoped for Daisy's sake, that this doesn't go up in smoke.
Daisy then made herself a plate and ate dinner with her pack.
But just before she was going to go to bed, she got a call from a drunk Meredith asking her to pick her up from the bar and drive her home.
Daisy sighed as she got up and packed a change of clothes and her pager, just knowing that she'll end up going to Meredith's home and get stuck there somehow.
Daisy drove to the bar, saw the bartender waving her over to collect two drunk doctors.
Daisy easily lifted up Cristina first, she walked her towards her car, and sat her down in the back and handed her a bucket so she didn't puke on her floors.
Then she went back inside and grabbed Meredith, who she was used to driving home when drunk.
She hefted her up and thanked the bartender, making sure to pay the tab the two left behind.
The bartender thanked her as she walked outside to her car and put Meredith into the passenger seat with another bucket for the second drunk doctor.
Daisy was sure to drive carefully, not wanting to set the two off in a pile fest if she hit a bump.
When she got to Meredith's house she used the spare key under the mat to open it up, and then carried each doctor on either shoulder in a firemen carry up the flight of stairs.
She went back downstairs to lock her car up, then the house as well.
She headed into the kitchen and grabbed two glasses of water and found the bottle of Advil that the two needed to take to minimize their headaches from their hangovers they're likely to get, and placed them in the same bed.
Before she could leave to go and sleep on the couch downstairs, Meredith whined and pulled her into bed with them.
Daisy resigned herself to being a pillow for the blond haired girl as usual.
Normally when she got this drunk, she'd complain until Daisy held her, and it seemed like it would be the same as usual this time as well.
...
MVO: I have an aunt who, whenever she poured anything for you, would say, "Say when."
(Meredith is lying on the bathroom floor, Daisy is downstairs making breakfast.)
Meredith: It's not us. It's them. Them and their stupid boy penises. They didn't tell me they had a wife. They gave absolutely no warning that they were going to break up with you.
(Cristina opens the shower door, where she is lying completely dressed)
Cristina: It's not that Burke broke up with me. It's how he broke up with me. Like it was business. Like it was a business trans— like he's the boss of me!
Meredith: He is the boss of you.
Cristina: And what's worse is that I care.
Meredith: I'm gonna throw up again.
(Cristina closes the shower door)
MVO: My aunt would say, "Say when," and of course we never did.
(Meredith looks like she's going to throw up)
Meredith: No. Wait. False alarm.
(Cristina opens the shower door)
Cristina: Look, the problem is estrogen.
Meredith: No, the problem is tequila.
Cristina: I used to be all business, and then he goes and gets me pregnant.
Meredith: With the stupid boy penis.
Cristina: Now, I'm having hormone surges. He ruined me. I'm ruined. He turned me into this fat, stupid, pregnant girl. Who cares! Estrogen!
(She slides the shower door shut again)
Meredith: Penises. Penises Izzie.
(The bathroom door opens and Izzie and George walk in. George to brush his teeth and Izzie with a bottle of water. The shower door is open again)
Cristina: Estrogen George.
George: Okay. (To Izzie) What did I miss?
(Izzie pours some water into a glass that Cristina is holding out)
Izzie: I came home to full on vomit drama. Apparently she dumped Derek and her— (sounds scandalized) she's been sleeping with Burke!
George: I knew that. Everyone knows that, I think the only one who didn't know that was you and Alex from our intern group. Daisy found out first, like usual.
MVO: We don't say "when" because there's something about the possibility of more.
(Izzie gives George a look and George turns to face Meredith)
George: So you really broke up with Shepherd?
(He starts brushing his teeth)
Meredith: I feel empty.
Izzie: Two hours of vomiting will do that to you.
(Both Izzie and George are now brushing their teeth looking at Meredith)
MVO: More tequila. More love. More anything. More is better.
Meredith: (To herself) No, I feel empty.
Cristina: You're lucky. I feel pissed off.
(She slides the door shut)
Daisy:(from downstairs) Come and eat! I made breakfast.
There was a mad dash to the door.
Daisy had come over and cooked on occasion and every time she did, there were no leftovers left.
Everyone loved her cooking.
(Seattle Grace Hospital parking lot)
(Meredith slams the door of her car. George, Cristina and Izzie get out slowly after her. Daisy pull up in her own car and got out as well. She was wearing her usual outfit of black jeans, a black muscle shirt, and a leather jacket with some combat boots on. Derek is waiting for Meredith.)
Meredith: Stop.
Derek: What?
Meredith: You're stalking me. Stop it.
Derek: Did we not communicate last night?
Meredith: Yes.
Derek: Did you hear what I was saying?
Meredith: Your wife screwed your best friend.
Derek: And then from that point on she no longer existed to me anymore.
Meredith: You had marital amnesia?
Derek: No. Come on I bared my soul to you last night.
Meredith: It's not enough.
Derek: How can that be not enough?
Meredith: When you waited 2 months to tell me and I had to find out by her showing up, all leggy and fabulous and telling me herself, you pulled the plug. I'm a sink with an open drain. Anything that you say runs right out. There is no enough.
(Meredith goes inside, George and Izzie follow, Daisy stays back to talk to him)
Daisy: Really Dr. Shepherd, I told you to give her some time. If you want to show her you're serious about her, get a divorce, tell the other Dr. Montgomery-Shepherd that it's over. You chasing her is not going to help. And neither is you leading Dr. Montgomery-Shepherd on that you not handing her divorce papers is going to give you two a second chance.
Derek sighed as he watched Daisy walk off once again.
(Inside the hospital)
George: She probably could've picked a better metaphor.
Izzie: Give her a break. She's got a hangover.
(Burke is inside and spots Derek entering)
Burke: Dr. Shepherd.
Derek: Dr. Burke.
Burke: Ah, we have an organ donor coming in this afternoon from Wilkeson General. We're doing a harvest.
Derek: Commendable, but�
(The interns look on while waiting for an elevator)
Burke: In OR one at four.
Derek: I'm in OR one at four.
Burke: Your surgery is non-critical�
Derek: You can't bump me!
Burke: � you'll be first up tomorrow. As Chief I can.
Derek: Interim chief. Bump somebody else!
Burke: You're in the OR we need.
Derek: Why don't they do the harvest at Wilkeson?
Burke: Small facility in the boonies. A duck in a box. We have the location, the airport nearby and the staff. Your surgery is rescheduled.
(The elevator opens and the interns get in)
Cristina: "Mine's bigger than yours."
(Alex enters the elevator before it closes)
Alex: Whip it out. I'll measure.
Cristina: Shut up, Alex.
Daisy raised her brow. A pissing contest this early in the morning? Really?
Just goes to show how dramatic the staff is.
(Burke and Cristina exchange glances as the elevator doors close)
(Bailey and her interns in the ambulance bay)
Medic: Male, 55, victim of a head-on collision. GCS is 3. Depressed skull fracture. Multiple internal injuries. ACLS protocol started, but was vein blew so we've been pushing meds down the tube. PEA on arrival.
Bailey: How long has he been down?
Medic: We've been doing CPR for about 20 minutes. It took fire 20 minutes to get him out of the car. He's pretty much gone.
Bailey: Uh, he's not gone until we say he's gone. Keep coding.
(Enter the hospital)
Bailey: O'Malley, get him into a bay and save him.
George: But he's dead.
(Another ambulance approached, Alex, Cristina & Izzie make their way over to it)
Bailey: Did you not hear me? He's not dead until we say he's dead. You know what to do so do it. (George stands there) Uh, Grey, you're on this too. Move.
(Meredith enters the hospital and leaves George still standing there)
Medic 2: We've got three more victims from the other car people coming in. Let's move people!
Meredith: Come on
(George follows Meredith)
George: But he's dead.
(In the trauma room, George is preparing to shock the already dead patient.)
George: Olivia. (To other doctors) Pulseless V-Tach.
Meredith: Line's in.
George: Okay, charge to 200.
Olivia: 200.
George: Clear.
(Shocks the body)
Meredith: Push 1 of epi. Let's go again. Charge to 300.
George: Seriously?
Olivia: I think that's what Dr. Bailey wants you to do, George. Dr. O'Malley.
Meredith: It's what she wants, Dr. O'Malley.
George: Okay then. Let's charge to 300.
Olivia: 300.
George: Clear.
(Ambulance bay)
Medic 3: Male, 46, unrestrained driver of the car that jumped lanes. BP 80 over palp. Tachycardic. Last pulse 1:38. Got two liters of LR running wide open. Significant abdominal tenderness.
Bailey: Any history?
Medic 3: Uh, wife says he's got a bad liver. He's one the, ah transplant list.
Bailey: Abdomen's rigid. Okay hand's off. We need to page Burke and Domner. Prep this guy for the O.R. Who wants him?
Izzie: I do!
Alex: I do.
Cristina: I do, I do.
Bailey: Uh, too late. Stevens, take it.
Izzie: Yes.
(Izzie joins them)
Bailey: Karev, take the boy.
(Another gurney enters and Alex joins them)
Bailey: Yang, you take the mom.
(Cristina joins the next gurney)
Bailey: I want to be looking at their films in 15 minutes!
(The doctor nearby hands Bailey a chart)
Doctor: We've got one more for you.
Bailey: Alright, Black you're with me. Let's move.
Daisy follows Dr. Bailey to see who their patient was.
(Points at the ER)
Bailey: What? In there? Oh, ok.
(Bailey enters the ER)
Bailey: What is it?
Doctor: That guy.
(Points to Mr. Hubble)
Bailey: He was in the accident?
Doctor: No. Bowel obstruction. He's not telling us what he ingested but the films look like he's packing.
Bailey: Can't people figure out a better way to move drugs?
Daisy: Do we really want them to learn is the question?
(Bailey enters George's trauma room)
Bailey: Grey! (She sees what George is doing) Oh pericardiocentesis. Good. Any response?
George: Mm mmm.
Bailey: Okay, uh, all right you guys can—
George: Should I call it?
Bailey: What would you do next, O'Malley?
George: I would call it.
Bailey: To save him.
George: Oh— uh—I don't know. A pericardial window.
Bailey: Excellent. Do it. (She gestures to Meredith) Grey, you're down here with Dr. Black and I. I've got a bowel obstruction for you two.
Meredith: Fun.
George: Well, at least your patient is still alive.
(Meredith, Daisy, and Bailey leave, George and Olivia are alone with the patient)
Olivia: What next doctor?
(George looks at her, not at all pleased)
(Richard's room. Derek is trying to check Richard out be he keeps moving)
Derek: Ok, stop it.
Richard: Okay. Stop. That's it.
Derek: That is not it.
Richard: Come on, please, stop it. That's it.
Derek: That is not it Richard. Hold still.
Richard: How can I hold still when you're poking me?
Derek: I have to poke you to discharge you.
(A woman enters)
Adele: What makes you think he wants to be discharged? (Richard looks up shocked) Derek, don't you know that this hospital will crumble unless Richard's here holding up the walls?
Richard: Adele, you're supposed to be in the Virgin Islands.
Adele: Oh you are in 5 kinds of trouble Mr. Man. (She walks up to him and gives a kiss on the cheek) You had brain surgery and didn't tell me?
Richard: It was just a small procedure.
Adele: It was brain surgery!
Richard: I didn't want to ruin your vacation.
Adele: You don't know what a vacation is. How would you know how to ruin it?
Richard: Well anyway (he stops and gives her a look) How did you find (he stops and then gives Derek a big old glare) You called my wife?
(Derek looks up from the chart he was writing in startled)
Derek: You called mine. (Richard is silent) Look having someone home with you is the only way I'm letting you out of here today.
Richard: Fine.
(Addison enters)
Addison: I thought I saw a fabulous looking woman walk by.
Adele: Addison! Yes see (She walks up and they hug) I told Richard, I knew you and Derek would get back together.
Addison: Ah, actually, I'm here on a case.
Derek: Addison and I are over, Adele.
Addison: It's not like we're divorced.
Derek: Practically divorced.
Adele: You've had counseling?
Derek: We had adultery. That was enough.
Adele: Hmm.
Addison: I'll call you later, ok?
(Addison leaves and Adele walks over to Derek)
Adele: You should give her a chance, Derek.
Derek: It's good to see you. (He gives a kiss on the cheek) Keep him in line.
(Derek leaves)
(Scott, one of the accident victims is getting ready for x-rays, Alex is nearby)
Scott: My mom's ok, right?
Alex: Yeah, yeah, I think so.
Scott: They'd been fighting at breakfast. Dad � it's ugly when it gets like that. He ran three stop lights before we even got on the freeway.
(Lea, another of the accident victims is getting checked out by Cristina)
Lea: My husband Bob's a, a really good driver.
(Scene switches back and forth between Lea and Scott)
Scott: Some guy in a pick up cuts us off.
Lea: Safe. I uh think he saw something in the middle of the road and
Scott: And my Dad just lost it.
Lea: and swerved to avoid it.
Scott: He started chasing the guy
Lea: The crash just, just came out of nowhere.
Scott: blasting through traffic
Lea: We'd been having a really nice morning. One minute everything's fine and the next
Scott: screaming at him.
Lea: I see a guy's face before we hit.
Scott: The next thing I know, we're upside down on the other side of the freeway.
Lea: Do the surgeon's know that Bob has a bad liver?
Cristina: They know.
Lea: How's Scotty?
Cristina: Your son's in the next room getting x-rayed.
Scott: My dad, he
Alex: He's in surgery. It's pretty serious.
Scott: Yeah? Well. I guess the son of bitch got what he deserved.
(Alex stares at him)
(Mr. Siebert's OR)
Dr. Domner: What makes people think they don't need seatbelts?
Burke: My end is done.
Dr. Domner: Well, the bowel's a mess, but it's repairable. It's a lot of work, I don't see the point with this liver.
Burke: What do you see, Dr. Stevens?
Izzie: A deep laceration, bleeding.
Burke: What else?
Izzie: It's hard and pale. Cirrhotic. They said he's on the transplant list.
Burke: Does he have family here, Stevens?
Izzie: A wife and son.
(Lea and Cristina's room)
Cristina: Okay, I'm just gonna roll you over. Gently.
(Rolls her and notices a large bruise on her back)
Cristina: Oh. This looks pretty bad. How did you get this?
Lea: Well, we hit so hard
Cristina: I don't think this is from the collision. It looks a couple of weeks old.
(Lea doesn't answer)
(Bailey enters George's room)
Bailey: Where are you?
George: I can see his heart. His heart that's not beating.
Bailey: Okay, ah open the pericardium and aspirate. If the heart is still not beating close and call it. (George looks upset) What? You think we're defiling this man's body?
George: Well, well we're certainly doing more than—
Bailey: Then what? (George looks resigned) If they're dead or dying when they come through those doors you hump and hump hard. Why?
George: For the experience.
Bailey: Uh, no what else? There's something more. (George doesn't have an answer) You think about that. It'll come to you.
(Bailey leaves the room)
(Meredith and Daisy wheel Mr. Hubble to the elevator)
Meredith: You know, Mr. Hubble, you might make things easier on yourself if you just tell us what you've ingested. We'll know anyway, once we see your films.
Mr. Hubble: You have the most beautiful features. They're delicate. Almost porcelain. And you have that exotic look going for you. Lots of visible muscles as well. Like a warrior.
Meredith: Mr. Hubble, whatever you've ingested could kill you.
Daisy: Are you sure you don't want to tell us what's got you blocked up inside?
Mr. Hubble: It ah might offend you.
Meredith: Is it drugs?
Mr. Hubble: It's not drugs.
Meredith: Mr. Hubble
Mr. Hubble: I promise. It's not drugs.
Daisy: If it's not drugs, then what could offen us so much that you don't want to tell us what could be causing your bowel obstruction Mr. Hubble.
He doesn't answer leaving the two interns frustrated.
(Elevator opens)
Meredith: Okay. Well, Good. I'm glad it's not drugs.
(Meredith is receiving Mr. Hubble's films)
Radiologist: Its drugs. Looks like at least 10 balloons in his bowel. (Meredith holds up the film in the light to see for herself) My guess, cocaine.
Daisy: That doesn't make any sense. Why would he go through all that trouble denying it was drugs, for it to be drugs?
Meredith shrugs.
Meredith: I don't know. Maybe we should get a second opinion on the scans before we say it is drugs?
Daisy: Sounds like a plan.
(Bailey is looking at x-ray films with Alex and Cristina)
Alex: Scott Seibert,18. No fractures or internal bleeding. I got pretty lucky.
Bailey: Recommendation?
Alex: Keep overnight for observation.
(Cristina puts up her x-ray film and switches on the light screen)
Bailey: Damn!
Cristina: Lea Seibert, 43. Multiple healed fractures on her clavicle and humerus. Third and fourth rib.
Bailey: She's either a bull rider or she's abused.
Alex: Kid said the accident was road rage. His old man got cut off in traffic, went ballistic.
Cristina: Oh, that's not the story I got. (She puts up another x-ray) She has a large yellowing bruise over her right kidney. Tender to palpitation. Said she got it from a fall last week (Bailey scoffs). She's bleeding.
Bailey: Perinephric hematoma. What do you do?
Cristina: It should take care of itself. We'll keep an eye on it. She needs uh, bed rest and a shrink.
(Meredith walks in with her films of Mr. Hubble)
Meredith: It's drugs.
Daisy: Or at least that's what the radiologist says.
Bailey: Stupid. (she takes the x-ray film and puts it up on an already lit screen) Stupid, stupid. One burst and he is dead in 5 minutes. Okay what do we do?
Meredith: Run his bowel.
Bailey: And what does that mean? Black?
Daisy: Ah running the bowel entails removing all 36 feet of the intestine from the body cavity, hand searching for the balloons and then cutting them out.
Bailey: Grey, book an O.R. Black, Yang, Karev you're in. I need all the hands I can get.
(Bailey, Meredith and Cristina start to leave but Alex and Daisy continue to stare at the x-ray. They walks up closer to it)
Alex: Are you sure they're balloons?
Daisy: I don't think they are, to be honest. He kept denying it was drugs, but he wouldn't tell us what they were because he was afraid we'd judge him or something.
(They stop at the door and Bailey walks back)
Bailey: You have reason to believe they're not balloons?
Daisy: Well, the shape is all wrong. Look at them closely and tell me what you see. They have strands of string attached at the top.
(Alex points to the screen as Meredith and Cristina walk back in as well)
Alex: This one here's has got a face.
(Bailey dims the light on screen a bit. The balloons take on more face like structures)
Meredith: So does that one.
(They all look dumfounded)
Cristina: They all do.
Bailey: I'll be damned. They're Judy's.
Cristina: Judy's?
Bailey: Huh. He swallowed the heads of 10 Judy dolls.
Daisy: Of course he did. Why are people like this?
(The camera closes up on a doll face on the x-ray)
Cristina: Ew.
(Seattle Scenes)
(Nurse's station)
(Cristina is sitting on a chair at the nurse's station. Alex is standing looking over a chart at the desk while Meredith is putting a file away and Daisy is leaning against the station, standing very close to Meredith like usual.)
Cristina: My mother used to buy me Judy dolls. Manhattan Judy, Surfer Judy, Disco Judy.
Meredith: I always wanted one.
Daisy: Really? I never cared for those type of trivial things. Never cared for dolls when I could go exploring in the forest or cliff diving.
The three stared at her as if she had lost her mind.
Then again, none of them were outdoors people.
Cristina: I dissected them. Cut off their arms, shaved their heads.
(Mr. Hubble is getting ready for his operation)
Alex: Sounds like there's a sick and twisted story behind this.
Cristina: No they're sexist, distorted devil toys (Bailey comes around the corner which Alex notices) that create unrealistic image expectations (Alex waves bye to Cristina & leaves) carrying to the porn driven minds of men.
Daisy: I mean, she isn't necessarily wrong.
Bailey: You swallow a bitter pill this morning, Yang? Black? (Cristina turns around and then sits up and starts typing on the laptop in front of her) They're dolls. Grey, call for a psych consult. Black see if he has family.
Meredith: Do I still book the OR?
Black: Right away Ma'am.
She grabs the man's chart and sits down beside the phones. Starting by calling his emergency contact.
Bailey: Blocked bowels become necrotic bowels. Check with Dr. Burke. See if we can bump someone. Those Judy's' gotta come out today.
(Mr. Siebert's OR)
Nurse: Hanging another B neg.
Dr. Domner: He's going through a lot of blood.
Nurse: Noted.
Burke: What's the word from UNOS?
Izzie: He's on the list, but they don't have a liver for him.
Dr. Domner: The list won't help him now. We can work all day but this liver won't stop bleeding. And it won't support his recovery from surgery.
Izzie: What about the donor from Wilkeson that's coming in?
Burke: That liver has already been committed. Mr. Seibert's only hope is a family donor.
Dr. Domner: Maybe we should call it? No use in tying up an OR if we're just postponing the inevitable.
Burke: How much work do you have here to complete, Dr. Domner?
Dr. Domner: 5, maybe 6 hours.
Burke: Then that's how much time we have to find him a new liver.
Dr. Domner: You're the chief.
(George, still trying to revive his patient)
George: Any family members waiting?
Olivia: Still trying to reach them.
George: Good. I mean, not good that we haven't reached them. Good I don't have to ah �
Olivia: It's always hard.
George: Yeah.
Olivia: I'm sorry about Alex.
(George squeezes the g*n harder)
George: That's fine. It's good you know. No need to talk about it.
Olivia: You do understand that I had sex with him before you, not during? (George squeezes the gun really hard) Because when you and I were having sex —
George: I understand.
Olivia: I just wanted to clear the air.
George: Oh. It's clear. (Again squeezes the stitch gun really hard) Perfectly clear. Ok.
Olivia: Ok.
George: Ok.
Olivia: And about the syphilis—
George: We really don't have to talk about this.
Olivia: Which is I mean, I didn't know I had it. I should've, I'm a nurse. I mean there was the sore and I was all itchy.
(George squeezes the gun hard again)
George: Ok! (He backs away and almost knocks the tray next to him over) You know I uh, uh got it. You know things happen.
(He moves to the door far away from Olivia)
Olivia: They, they really do. Things you wish you could change.
George: Yeah. Oh, it's the Chief. I gotta take this.
Olivia: Sure. George?
(George leaves eager to get away)
Olivia: You have to call it.
George: Call it?
Olivia: Him.
George: Oh, uh (he grabs his pager to check the time) um, time of death 1.48.
(He walks out)
(Scott and Alex enter an elevator. Scott is punching his gurney)
Alex: I got it.
(The other doctor leaves and the elevator doors close)
Alex: This guy came in this morning with 10 Judy doll heads in his abdomen. Is that some kinda sick or what? I mean, when you think about it, those things can't be that easy to swallow. They've still got their hair on them. That's some bad spaghetti. Dude's crapping toys.
(Scott almost smiles but is too upset. Alex sighs)
Alex: You know, when you're little you can hide. Ignore the shouting, the screaming, you pretend like you're someplace else. Then when you get older, bigger, you feel like you should be doing something. Something to stop it. You know, to protect her. (Scott still hits the side of the bed) And when you can't, you don't know who to be angrier at, Your old man or yourself. Usually it's yourself.
Scott: Did she tell you?
Alex: She didn't have to. It's all over her films. He's not beating you, is he?
Scott: No, just her. So what do you do? About the anger?
(Elevator doors open)
Alex: Me? I think about the guy who eats doll heads. He's got problems.
(As they are leaving the elevator, Izzie runs up)
Izzie: Hey, I've been looking for you guys.
Scott: It's my father.
(Burke is in Lea's room, talking to her about Bob)
Lea: Bob liked his beers. His liver started to fail a couple of years ago. He quit drinking and we put him on the transplant list, but his blood type.
Burke: B-negative.
Lea: There just aren't that many available. They suggested a family member.
Burke: Any luck?
Lea: My son. They said Scotty is a good match. He's 18.
Cristina: Family members shouldn't do it out of obligation. It's a risky operation.
(Burke looks at Cristina)
Lea: Scotty's had counseling. You know, they just don't let you do it. (Cristina nods) He hasn't made his mind up yet, you know. (Cristina notices Burke staring at her) We actually have a date set for surgery. I just (She cries a little) I just don't...I don't want to pressure him.
Cristina: Well, then you shouldn't.
Lea: Oh, god God, I don't want to lose Bob.
Burke: We'll give your son as much time as we can to make a decision. Yeah?
Lea: Thanks (she continues to cry)
(Everyone leaves, Burke stops Cristina in the hallway)
Burke: Would you care to explain?
Cristina: Seibert is a wife beater. Her films show years of abuse.
Burke: I didn't know that but still...
Cristina: Multiple fractures. She has a kidney bleed from a beating she took last week. Plus, it was it was his road rage that caused the accident. The guy in the other car d*ed!
Burke: And that means what? No heroic measures? We leave him on the table?
Cristina: Well if it were up to me...
Burke: Think like a surgeon Dr. Yang! We have a dying patient and a liver that could save him.
Cristina: Well this is more complicated than that.
Burke: No. For social workers, yes! For the family. Not for you. It isn't up to you!
(Burke starts to leave)
Cristina: Yeah, you've made that perfectly clear.
(He hears this and walks back quickly)
Burke: Well, I'm glad we have an understanding.
Cristina: I'm sure you are.
(She walks off in the other direction. Burke walks off as well)
(Burke is walking with Patricia)
Burke: The donor from Wilkeson?
Patricia: Should be here at 3. Harvest teams are on their way in.
Burke: I also need to touch base with the transplant centre about Seibert getting his son's liver.
(Meredith walks up)
Meredith: Dr. Burke? (They stop walking) Dr. Bailey needs an OR and they're all booked.
Burke: For?
Meredith: An emergent bowel obstruction.
(She hands him Mr. Hubble's x-ray)
Burke: drugs?
Meredith: 10 Judy doll heads.
Burke: Seriously?
Meredith: Yes.
(Patricia looks at the film as well)
Patricia: I can see their little faces. (She puts on a voice) Help. Let me out.
(Burke pulls down the x-ray film quickly)
Burke: Bump Warner's hernia in 1. But don't tell him what we're removing.
(He hands Meredith the x-ray film back)
Meredith: Thank you.
(He and Patricia continue walking and Meredith walks off in the other direction)
(Burke enters Richard's office to find Adele there)
Adele: If he can't be here obsessing, he wants stuff to obsess with at home. (Patricia walks in) I'll be done and out of your way in a moment.
(Patricia hands Burke a piece of paper)
Patricia: Intern time cards. Sign. (She waves to Adele, who waves back and leaves the office)
Adele: It's always something isn't it? Some emergency surgery, some annoying administrative problem. (Burke looks at her as he signs the time cards on the round table in the room) Being chief is a lot like being an intern. The work never stops.
(Burke sits down in Richard's chair)
Adele: You know when I found out Richard had a tumor you know what I felt? Relieved. (Burke is looking at the computer screen not really listening) I was hoping he'd finally be forced to retire. (He looks up at Adele at this piece of news, intrigued) Ah. That has your attention doesn't it? How we both would like that to happen. (She grabs her bag) I could finally book a vacation for two. (she chuckles) You know you're perfect for this job, Preston. Unattached, obsessive. This hospital, this job, it's enough for you isn't it?
(Adele)
(Scott's room)
Scott: It has to be today?
Izzie: Thanks. (To Scott) He won't make it off the table with his own liver. He's bleeding a lot.
Scott: When you get counseling they tell you not to force it. The decision you know. One day, one moment you just know the right thing to do. It should be easy, right? He's my father.
Alex: Well it's a tough operation. It'll be a big change in your life.
Izzie: The upside is that the liver is the only organ that regenerates itself. (Alex looks annoyed at this) I mean they'll only take half of yours and it'll be back to normal size in 2 months. You probably won't be running any marathons any time soon but �
(Alex grabs Izzie's arm and interrupts)
Alex: Dr. Stevens, can I see you outside for a moment?
(He pulls Izzie outside into the hallway)
Izzie: What is your problem?
Alex: (angry) You're doing a sales pitch. The recipient is your patient. You shouldn't even be talking to the donor.
Izzie (defensive): The recipient is his father who he's going to lose if he doesn't make a decision.
Alex (angry): And he understands that alright? Believe me he understands that. You have no idea what is going on in that kid's head! None!
(He walks back in to the room leaving Izzie looking perplexed)
(George is wheeling Richard out)
Richard (to George): Call 3 times a day.
Adele: Do not call 3 times a day.
Richard: Look and if my wife does not put you through...
Adele: I won't put you through.
Richard: Keep calling until she does.
George: Yes sir.
(Adele gives George a look. He shakes his head no at her but Richard doesn't see)
(Bailey, Daisy, Meredith and Raj are discussing Mr. Hubble)
Raj: He's not talking. It could be pica. Doubtful for a man his age. Maybe an Oedipal complex or an idolization of the doll as his partners. (Bailey gives him a weird look) Or it could be that he simply enjoys it.
Bailey: Now I've seen a lot of strange things in strange places but how does he enjoy this?
Daisy: Well, that could be the way his mind works. It's said people with certain mental health conditions, such as schizophrenia and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), may develop pica as a coping mechanism.
Some people may even enjoy and crave the textures or flavors of certain nonfood items. In some cultures, eating clay is an accepted behavior. This form of pica is called geophagia.
The two look at her with their eyebrows raised.
Bailey: How do you even know that? Why would you even want to know that?
Daisy: I like knowing things.
(Meredith walks back up to them)
Raj: He'd enjoy it when they came out.
Bailey: I didn't need to hear that.
(Addison walks by)
Daisy looked up feeling the tug from her soul.
She smiled when her eyes locked with Addison's.
Addison couldn't help but smile back.
Addison: Dr. Grey, may I speak with you for a moment? You as well Dr. Black?
(Meredith looks at Bailey who moves to sign the chart Raj is holding out, Daisy is already walking towards Addison.)
Bailey: Don't look at me for help.
(Meredith walks up to Addison and Daisy, they walk down the hallway together)
Addison: I assumed he told you why he left me.
(Meredith looks annoyed at this and stops walking in front of Addison, Daisy awkwardly looks away, not wanting to hear this again)
Meredith: Dr. Montgomery-Shepherd with all due respect, this has nothing to do with me.
(Meredith walks off but Addison follows her)
Addison: Really? So you didn't take him back. Good girl.
Daisy so did not blush at that.
Meredith saw this and smirked. So much teasing material for later!
Meredith: And in the future I'd appreciate it if we could keep our relationship strictly professional.
(Addison stops walking and Meredith continues to walk away. Addison calls out to her and Meredith turns around)
Addison: Meredith. Sometimes people do desperate things to get someone's attention.
(Meredith makes a face and walks away)
Addison (calls out): There are two sides to every story!
Daisy: Why'd you need me Dr. Montgomery-Shepherd?
Addison: How many times do I have to tell you to call me Addison?
Daisy smirked.
Daisy: At least one more time Dr. Montgomery-Shepherd.
Addison sighed, resigning herself to hearing her favorite intern call her by her last name.
Addison: Well, I just wanted to ask how your day was going?
Daisy blinked. Completely thrown off guard by the question.
Daisy: It's been okay. Some dude has an advanced form of Pica, or maybe some type of mental disorder. It caused him to eat ten Judy doll heads. We're doing an emergency bowel obstruction surgery.
Addison's eyes widened. Completely weirded out about what the patient chose to eat. But also interested with how excited Daisy seemed to be about the surgery she was in.
Addison: Hmm, All I've had today are three births and a C-section.
Daisy: That seems interesting. Any complications?
Addison: No, nothing too big. A baby tried to come out feet first so I had to move him around whilst keeping him in his mother's stomach.
Daisy nodded.
Daisy: Seems interesting.
Addison: Not really, it happens more often than you'd think. But he was healthy when he came out, that's all that I can hope for.
Daisy: Yeah.
The two stare at one another for a few seconds, neither realized how close they were to one another.
So close that Daisy could smell Addison's perfume.
Dark Plum, Myrrh, Night Blooming Jasmine, Benzoin Tears, Golden Amber, Vanilla Woods. The scents go really well together actually.
Perfectly highlighting Addison's natural floral and fruity scent with a hint of cinnamon.
Daisy blinked out of her daze when her pager beeped.
Shocking both surgeons as they stepped back and cleared their throats.
Daisy: Right them, looks like I should go.
Addison: Right, yes. Your surgery. Wouldn't want to be late for that.
Daisy chuckled.
Daisy: It's not for my surgery, Meredith is paging me for lunch.
For some reason, Addison doesn't quite like that Daisy calls Meredith by her first name but won't consider doing the same for her.
It leaves a jealous feeling in her gut.
But why would she be jealous?
She didn't have feelings for the intern. Did she?
Daisy: Right, well, it was nice talking with you Dr. Montgomery-Shepherd.
Addison: Nice talking with you Daisy.
Daisy smiled before she turned and walked away. A light pep in her step.
Addison watches her go with a small sigh.
There was just something special about Daisy Black that Addison couldn't quite put her finger on.
And she didn't know if she even wanted to.
(Cut to Cristina, Izzie and George walking in the outdoor cafe with food trays, Meredith and Daisy join them)
Cristina: The father is an alcoholic wife beater. I mean there shouldn't even be a question.
Izzie: But if you could save somebody and you didn't, wouldn't you feel like you were committing murder?
Cristina: Like the guy did when crashed into George's DOA. He's the killer not the son.
Daisy: Not really. People die in the hospital everyday. I mean, if the son doesn't want to give him his liver, I say good on him. I mean, like Cristina said, the dude killed someone, he beats his wife, and he drinks heavily. Why should we try and save him? Normally I'd be all for saving everyone and giving them second chances, but... I don't know if the guy deserves a second chance. And if he did, it's in a jail cell for life.
The others look at her as she gives her own opinion. Not knowing why she feels so emotional about this.
But she had grown up with Paul, she's experienced his life like it was her own thanks to the pack bond when she was in the Uley pack.
It was brutal. Thankfully the pack had gotten him out of that situation and built him his own house not too far out from Emily's.
(George stops when he sees and empty table with 10 headless Judy dolls sitting all arranged in a circle)
George: Oh! That is sick!
Izzie: Who would do that?
(They look to the table where Alex is sitting, smiling)
Cristina: Oh. (she picks up a Judy) Look! See Judy fly. (She throws it at him and he ducks to the side so it doesn't hit him)
(Olivia walks by with her own tray as they all sit down at the table with the Judy dolls)
Olivia: Hey, George.
George: Hey.
(The interns look at George)
George: What?
Daisy could already tell Meredith was going to say something by the glint in her eyes.
Meredith: George. She was trying to make up with you. You should go eat with her.
Daisy winced. She could tell Meredith was reflecting on her own relationship a bit whilst trying to talk to George.
(George picks up a Judy and starts playing with it)
George: No. No, I shouldn't.
Izzie: She's cute and she likes you. You shouldn't let a little syph get in the way.
George: It's not the syph.
Cristina: It's so the syph.
George: It's not the syph!
Izzie: Then what is it? (George doesn't answer and looks down) Oh.
Daisy sighed. How many times were they going to go over this?
Meredith doesn't like him, what more proof did he need?
He needs to get over his little crush, and go out with someone who saw him for him.
Meredith: What? (George shrugs) What is it? Out with it.
Izzie: There's this other girl.
George: Izzie!
Daisy: Yeah, a girl who will never go out with him which is why he should get over the other girl.
Izzie glares at Daisy whilst George seemed to deflate.
Izzie: Not helping Black.
Daisy: Not trying to help Stevens.
Cristina: Other girl? You have another girl?!
Izzie: He hasn't told her yet that he likes her.
George: Izzie! We are not in high school.
Izzie: George has a little crush.
George: I do not have a crush.
Daisy: More like an obsession(she whispered under her breath.)
Meredith raised her eyebrow at Daisy. Daisy sighed and shook her head whilst taking a bit of her burrito.
She didn't want to get into this again.
(Cristina laughs while Meredith looks at George contemplating who is still playing with the Judy doll)
George: It is a thing. A thing that is very personal. One day I would like to build on this thing with this other girl. Woman. She's all woman.
Daisy: And like I keep telling you, it's not going to happen George. Find someone else.
(Meredith snatches the Judy doll away from George and slams it onto the table)
Meredith: What are you doing?
George (apologetic) : I was playing with—
Meredith (interrupts): No George, with Olivia. (She picks up the doll and starts pointing at George with it) What are you doing with Olivia?
George: Oh. Nothing.
Meredith: You're letting her think you're emotionally available. You're letting her think she has a chance. (Loudly) And there is nothing worse in the world than thinking you have a chance when you really don't!
(She throws down the Judy doll)
Cristina: Meredith is right. Tell her there's someone else. Tell her why George. I mean, (she yells) I mean at least give her the chance to have some feelings about—for god's sake!
Daisy sighed as she listened to them two rant once again. Now knowing that they weren't even talking about George anymore, but their own relationships with their stupid attendings who broke their hearts.
Or... Well for Cristina, she was hormonal due to the pregnancy so she was taking this harder than she normally would have.
George (shocked): Why are you yelling at me?
Cristina (loud): Because of the estrogen George! Because of all the estrogen!
(She takes a bite of her salad angrily. Meredith looks at George also angry. George looks taken aback by the whole situation. Izzie just tries to smile it off)
Izzie: So new subject. I heard you were in the army? (She asked Daisy putting her on the spot.)
Daisy froze as she had a bite of burrito in her mouth.
She finished chewing her bite of burrito before coughing.
Daisy: What?
Izzie: Yeah, I heard a few nurses talking about it.
Daisy nodded tersely.
She didn't really want to talk about her army days. I mean, the bonds she created in the army are some of the best of her life, going to war does that to people.
Daisy: It was fine.
Izzie: What? That's all we get. It was fine? Come on, you have to have a few good battle stories or something!
Daisy clenched her fist tightly.
Meredith leaned into the younger girl, trying to ground her.
Ever since their talk awhile ago, the two have not only been closer, but they have also spent a lot of time outside of work with Meredith over at the pack house when she needed a break from tweedle dee and tweedle dum.
Aka Izzie and George.
Whilst there, Daisy sometimes tells Meredith stories of her time at war. Her hardships and losses.
Meredith has become her best friend since she started working at the hospital.
They talked about their childhood with one another, and had been able to confide in one another about the hard times they've faced.
Daisy didn't like talking about it with people she didn't necessarily trust.
Daisy: Well, it's the army, I mean, I served six tours, they payed for my college, I enjoyed being in the army, made many friends. Saved a lot of people.
Daisy was purposely being vague.
The only other person she might talk about the army with at this table is Cristina.
George: Sounds interesting.
Daisy hummed.
They continued to eat their lunch.
(Burke and Derek at the OR board)
Derek: It's a mess.
Burke: No it isn't.
Derek: I think I know a mess when I see a mess. You've got the harvest tying up OR 1. Seibert tying up OR 2. Bowel obstruction in OR 3.
Burke: It's simply a bit crowded.
Derek: Well, your "crowded" is my "seriously overbooked." And in my book seriously overbooked is a mess.
(A scrubs nurse walks up to Burke and Derek)
Nurse: They need to know if there's any word on the Seibert liver.
Burke: How much time do they have left?
Nurse: Couple of hours.
Burke: Tell them I'll be in to see them.
(The scrubs nurse walks off. Dr. Warner and his staff walk down the hallway up to Burke)
Dr. Warner: You bumped me for a bowel obstruction?
Derek: Ooh, uneasy lies the head that wears the chief's cap.
(Derek walks off)
(Meredith, Daisy, and Mr. Hubble are headed to his surgery)
Meredith: Was it an act of desperation?
Mr. Hubble: Not at all.
Meredith: Something to attract attention?
Mr. Hubble: Of course not.
Daisy: Were you compelled to eat the dolls?
Mr. Hubble: No, I wasn't.
Daisy: What about the taste. Was there something about the taste or texture that you decided you had to taste them?
Mr. Hubble: No.
Meredith: I'm just trying to understand here, Mr. Hubble. Why 10 doll heads?
Mr. Hubble: Well because 11 would've been too much.
Daisy: Hmm, of course.
(Mr. Hubble's surgery. All of the interns are there helping)
Bailey: Doyen clamps to Yang. Grey, push the head up to the incision. Black, make sure the doll doesn't rip through the intestine, keep watch on it carefully.
Daisy: Yes Ma'am.
(Meredith starts squeezing the doll head up through the intestine, Daisy watches to make sure the intestine doesn't split open.)
Alex: Maybe his mother looked like Judy and he's into voodoo. Instead of sticking pins in... Heh.
Daisy: Don't be ridiculous Karev.
The others start to nod, but Daisy continues on interrupting them.
Daisy: Haitian Vodou[a] (/ˈvoʊduː/) is an African diasporic religion that developed in Haiti between the 16th and 19th centuries. It arose through a process of syncretism between several traditional religions of West and Central Africa and Roman Catholicism. There is no central authority in control of the religion and much diversity exists among practitioners, who are known as Vodouists, Vodouisants, or Serviteurs.
Daisy: Vodou teaches the existence of a transcendent creator divinity, Bondye, under whom are spirits known as lwa. Typically deriving their names and attributes from traditional West and Central African deities, they are equated with Roman Catholic saints. The lwa divide into different groups, the nanchon ("nations"), most notably the Rada and the Petwo, about whom various myths and stories are told. This theology has been labelled both monotheistic and polytheistic. An initiatory tradition, Vodouists commonly venerate the lwa at an ounfò (temple), run by an oungan (priest) or manbo (priestess). Alternatively, Vodou is also practised within family groups or in secret societies like the Bizango. A central ritual involves practitioners drumming, singing, and dancing to encourage a lwa to possess one of their members and thus communicate with them. Offerings to the lwa, and to spirits of the dead, include fruit, liquor, and sacrificed animals. Several forms of divination are utilized to decipher messages from the lwa. Healing rituals and the preparation of herbal remedies and talismans also play a prominent role.
Daisy: Vodou developed among Afro-Haitian communities amid the Atlantic slave trade of the 16th to 19th centuries. Its structure arose from the blending of the traditional religions of those enslaved West and Central Africans brought to the island of Hispaniola, among them Kongo, Fon, and Yoruba. There, it absorbed influences from the culture of the French colonialists who controlled the colony of Saint-Domingue, most notably Roman Catholicism but also Freemasonry. Many Vodouists were involved in the Haitian Revolution of 1791 to 1801 which overthrew the French colonial government, abolished slavery, and transformed Saint-Domingue into the republic of Haiti. The Roman Catholic Church left for several decades following the Revolution, allowing Vodou to become Haiti's dominant religion. In the 20th century, growing emigration spread Vodou abroad. The late 20th century saw growing links between Vodou and related traditions in West Africa and the Americas, such as Cuban Santería and Brazilian Candomblé, while some practitioners influenced by the Négritude movement have sought to remove Roman Catholic influences.
Daisy: Most Haitians practice both Vodou and Roman Catholicism, seeing no contradiction in pursuing the two different systems simultaneously. Smaller Vodouist communities exist elsewhere, especially among Haitian diasporas in Cuba and the United States. Both in Haiti and abroad Vodou has spread beyond its Afro-Haitian origins and is practiced by individuals of various ethnicities. Having faced much criticism through its history, Vodou has been described as one of the world's most misunderstood religions.
Daisy: Imitation involves using effigies, fetishes, or poppets to affect the environment of people, or people themselves. Voodoo dolls are an example of fetishes used in this way: the practitioner uses a lock of hair on the doll to create a link (also known as a "taglock") between the doll and the donor of this lock of hair. In this way, that which happens to the doll will also happen to the person. This is mostly used for revenge. So unless he hated his mother, I do not believe he saw the dolls as his mother, that would mean he had cannibalistic thoughts about eating his mother. Which would mean that this would go all the way back to the time of the Neanderthals. Over 1.4 billion years ago. It's actually quite interesting too.
The others in the OR just stare at Daisy bewildered.
Bailey: What in the world are you talking about Black?
Daisy blushed as she realized she just went on a rant about voodooism and cannibals.
Daisy: Well, I was just trying to make a point ma'am. That this wasn't because of voodoo, I still think he's either schizophrenic and hasn't been diagnosed, or he has ocd also undiagnosed. Maybe when he saw those Judy dolls he had a compulsory episode and ate them.
Alex: That doesn't explain why you know all of that useless junk about voodoo.
Daisy looked downright offended.
Daisy: I got a PhD in both history and Behavioral Analysis, which helps me not only decipher the behavior of people, it also gives me a viewpoint into their thought process, and history has always been something that I've been interested in when I was little girl learning my tribe's stories, the legends interested me. Plus it always helped me in the army. Knowing how old wars worked gave me a strategic standpoint in making plans for the war we were facing on the battle field.
The others looked at her with wide eyes.
Two PhD's? Along with her M.D. when did she even have the time to complete those?
George: You have two PhD's and a medical degree? How?
Daisy: No, well, I mean yes. I have those degrees, but I also have a PhD in astrophysics as well.
More jaws dropped.
Three PhD's and an M.D.
How in the world did she get this done, and Bailey knew the girl was only 24. She must have been some type of child genius to have those degrees.
The others looked at her with raised eyebrows.
Cristina: I get the other two, being a profiler for the army is smart, and history for the battle strategies, but why Astrophysics?
Daisy: Well, astrophysics was just a hobby really. It was just something I chose to study for fun.
Izzie: If it was for fun, then why get a PhD for it?
Daisy: For fun.
Well, that's what she'd be telling them. The real reason was because she was a space pirate for awhile. Along with her team. The history degree was because she got interested in history when they started time traveling.
But she got the behavior analysis degree to interrogate criminals, or read their moves.
Something that all Agents of Shield needed to learn at least the basics of.
(They pop a small black doll head with an afro out of the intestine)
Bailey: Yep. Ah. (She holds up the doll head with a clamp) Black Judy. What they gave her long hair back when she had the afro. She came with 'go go' boots and a leather jacket. (She puts the doll head into a large silver basin) Shame it's a real collector's item.
Alex: Collectable dolls with a twist.
Cristina: Seriously, you can identify these dolls by their heads?
Bailey: You got a problem with that Yang? I like Judy dolls. I own Judy dolls. The only problem I have with Judy dolls that are in the bowel of this man.
Daisy: I never got the whole collecting dolls things. Or action figures. The only thing I can understand collecting, are what my dad collects. Captain America trading cards.
Meredith: Billy or Phil?
Izzie: Who or Who?
Daisy: Phil, my bio dad doesn't care for that stuff.
Meredith nodded.
Meredith: From what you tell me about him, that makes sense.
George: I'm sorry, you have two dad's? Why is this the first I'm hearing about this?
Izzie: Yeah!
Daisy: Well, we never really talk outside of work. I have two dad's, and two mom's. My bio parents Billy and Sarah, and my adoptive parents Phil and Melinda. Technically my full name is Daisy Black-Mayson. But I just go by Dr. Black at work.
Bailey: You're adopted?
Daisy: Yes. My bio dad Billy Black and I hardly ever talk, when I joined the army, Phil was my C.O (commanding officer) eventually Melinda or as we called her, May, became my S.O (supervising officer) she taught me everything I know. Became my second family. Eventually they adopted me with my bio dad's permission.
This was something new that they learnt.
But it was another fact that made Daisy who she was.
(Burke walks into the O.R)
Burke: Bailey, I need an intern in the ER to meet the harvest donor.
Bailey (she looks at George): O'Malley.
Cristina (to George): See ya, boo-boo.
(George leaves the operating table)
Burke: You good here?
Bailey: Couple more heads to go.
Burke: Then Karev, Yang, Stevens scrub out. I need to get an answer from Seibert's son.
(Cristina and Burke share a look. He leaves the O.R and they all start scrubbing out. Bailey removes another Judy doll head)
Bailey: Ah yes. Mod Judy. Came with a yellow vesper. You know what's strange?
Meredith: We haven't had enough strange?
Bailey: She looks a little like you.
Daisy: That's actually creepy to point out Dr. Bailey.
(Meredith doesn't respond to that, but she silently agrees with Daisy. Bailey dumps the doll head into the silver basin)
(Cut to Olivia opening the doors of a patient room. George is a few feet behind her with a chart and is being followed by a nurse and 2 doctors wheeling a man on a hospital bed)
Nurse: This is the donor from Wilkeson General.
George: Just put her in here (he gestures to where Olivia is) until the ah harvest team comes done. Thanks.
(They wheel her into the room)
George: Well this, this one's heart is still beating.
(They all leave except for George and Olivia. Olivia shuts one of the doors to the room. She and George share a look)
George: I think Bailey would want me to ah—
(George starts checking the patient and Olivia walks to the other side of the bed and puts on the monitor)
Olivia: We finally reached the family members of the dead motorist. I live in Portland. Should be here in a few hours. Want me to page you when they get here?
George: Yeah. Do they know?
(She walks behind George)
Olivia: Only that we were still working on him. (She clicks on a switch) I think it's always better to hear bad news firsthand. (George gets a look on his face) I know I'd like to talk to the doctor who called it. (She speaks quietly) Get some answers. (Normal voice) So I could get on with my life.
George (tries to ignore this): Ah.
Olivia: George.
(He presses down on the patient's sternum and the patient reflexes her whole body upwards off the bed)
George: Did you? Did you see that?
(He does it again)
George: She's decerebrate, her brain's stem is still alive.
(The transplant team has come to the room and opens the wide door/wall Olivia closed. Dr. Orsen, the doc in charge with several other docs came in)
Dr. Orsen: Okay, we'll take it from here.
George: But, would you look at this?
(He pushes down on the patient again who reflexes up again)
Dr. Orsen: She's decerebrate. (to the other doctors) Okay.
George: Yeah but she can't really be declared brain dead.
(They start wheeling the patient out)
Dr. Orsen: It's a small reaction. They probably just missed it. The cortex is dead. The brain stem will follow. (The team start wheeling the patient down a hallway) Death is imminent we just have to wait it out.
(George looks shocked and confused by this as Dr. Orsen follows the team)
George: Yeah, but don't you?
Dr. Orsen (interrupt): She'll be dead by the time we get to the O.R doctor.
(The team walk off)
George (to himself): But she's alive now.
(Alex enters Scott's room with a wheelchair)
Alex: It smells like a hospital in here.
(Bob's OR)
Dr. Domner: What are we doing with this guy Preston? Is this just an exercise? I don't need the practice.
Burke: The transplant committee gave us the green light. Trying to get an answer from the son.
Dr. Domner: Well this guy goes through his liver like there's no tomorrow. And I mean that literally.
Burke: How much work do you have left now?
Dr. Domner: Maybe an hour and a half. But without a liver I don't think this guy is going to last that long.
(Burke just looks at Mr. Seibert)
(Cut to Mrs. Seibert lying on her side in her patient room. Cristina checking her back)
Lea: I need to speak to Scotty. I can talk to him. I need to talk to him.
(Cristina is done and Mrs. Seibert rolls on to her back)
Cristina (avoids eye contact): I think they want him to make the decision on his own.
Lea: You think I'm sick for wanting me to save my husband. Don't you?
Cristina: I think you're feeling very emotional and when we're feeling emotional sometimes it's, sometimes it's hard to keep a level head and consider all the facts. Your husband killed a man on the highway today. He almost killed you and your son. Those are the facts.
Lea: Have you ever been in love Doctor? (Cristina looks at her) Have you?
Cristina: Love has its limits.
(Cristina walks out while Mrs. Seibert shakes her head)
(Cut to Derek walking down a hall eating a snack. George comes racing after him)
George: Dr. Shepherd!
(Derek stops and turns to meet him)
Derek (chewing): Dr. O'Malley.
George: I was just in the ICU with harvest donor and ah Dr. Bailey, she has us do exams and procedures on patients even if they're—
Derek (interrupts): Whatch you find?
George: Ah, she's decerebrate. The donor, her brainstem is still alive.
(Cut to Derek and George walking quickly down the O.R hallway. They come up to the transplant team with the donor)
Derek: Excuse me, Derek Shepherd. Head of Neurosurgery. Do you mind if I take a look?
(He starts checking the patient)
Dr. Orsen (looks like he can't believe this is happening): Ah, okay, yeah she's ah still fostering. We have every intention of waiting until she's dead. She's in an irreversible coma.
(Derek pushes on the patient's sternum who reflex's up again)
Dr. Orsen: Hines, the neuro at Wilkeson ran the protocol.
Derek: They missed decerebration. What else did they miss? (He grabs the donor's chart and flips through it) She has a tumor, ah on her brain stem right? I don't see the M.R.I. Did you do an EEG to confirm brain dead?
(Dr. Orsen shrugs his shoulder annoyed that this is even happening)
Dr. Orsen: Yeah, according to Hines.
Derek: I don't know Dr. Hines.
(Meredith standing at the nurse's station looks up and watches the situation from afar)
Dr. Orsen: We have 6 patients in 3 states waiting for this woman's organs.
Derek: Yeah and I'm sure they'll all be happy to know that the organs that they'll be receiving are from somebody that's actually brain dead.
(Burke walks out of the Seibert's O.R and notices the heated battle between the 2 doctors and makes his way over)
Dr. Orsen: No one's going to touch her while she's alive. For you to imply otherwise—
Burke (interrupts): Is there a problem here? Dr. Orsen? Dr. Shepherd?
Derek: Yeah we have a donor who's still decerebrate.
(Cristina and Daisy round the corner and also notice the situation and watch, though Daisy wouldn't hesitate to step in. She can feel the patient isn't actually brain dead. She's on Dr. Shepherd's side. They needed proof that she was brain dead or the other doctor was going to kill an innocent girl.)
Derek: I want to do an EEG and a M.R.I.
Dr. Orsen: An expensive waste of time.
(Burke flips through the donor's chart)
Derek: I insist on it.
(Burke gives Shepherd a weird look)
Burke: You insist on it?
Derek: I do.
(Cristina, Daisy, and Meredith make eye contact and Meredith raises her eyebrows to say another pissing contest. Daisy shakes her head. No, not a pissing contest. This is Dr. Shepherd fighting for a girl who may not be brain dead, a girl who couldn't voice her opinion on the matter herself.)
Burke: If my head of neurosurgery says he needs an EEG and an M.R.I, (he hands the chart over to Derek) then he needs an EEG and an M.R.I.
Daisy smirked. Now if only the two could compromise more often. Things at the hospital would be so much better.
Dr. Orsen: You realize we have 6 patients waiting?
Burke: That is not my call Dr. Orsen. Who gets the organs is up to UNOS. Who donates the organs is up to the families. Hell I've got in the O.R that's waiting for a liver that may not deserved to be saved and again that's not my call. But you want to know what my call is? Everything else. (He turns to Derek) The patient is yours Dr. Shepherd.
Derek: Thank you Dr. Burke.
(Dr. Orsen shakes his head and storms off. Most of the transplant team leaves as well. Shepherd and some other doctors start wheeling the patient down the hall)
Derek: Dr. O'Malley do you want to assist with this M.R.I?
(George follows Dr. Shepherd. Burke is left standing there and notices Cristina watching. The camera switches to Shepherd who notices Meredith watching from the nurse's station)
Derek (To a doctor): Carry this for me. First we'll do an EEG. George, you with me?
(Walkway outside of SGH)
(Izzie rushes outside looking for somebody and notices them. Alex is taking Scott for a walk)
Scott: What if he goes back to hitting her?
Alex: You can't make that call. Whatever you do you can't make the decision on anger.
(Izzie runs down the pathway behind them)
Izzie (calls out): Alex!
Scott: So what do you with it? What did you with yours?
Izzie (calls out again louder): Alex!
(Alex pushing the wheelchair and turns around as Izzie runs up to them and stops a few feet away)
Izzie: Hey. You shouldn't be out here. Dr. Burke needs a �
Alex (interrupts): Can you just back off? Please?
(Izzie sighs and walks to the side. Alex squats down next to Scott)
Alex: My anger had a life of its own. I bulked up, became a wrestler and the next time he laid a hand on my mother I b*at the living crap out of him. When he got out of the hospital he took off. Just took off and never came back. He was a cold mean tempered bastard, but he was still my old man you know? (Scott nods) But now, now I can't stop wishing that I never laid a hand on him. Wish somehow that I could've worked it through.
(They walk back towards Izzie)
Alex: What is it?
Izzie: I'm sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt you, I...
Alex (interrupts): What? What does Burke want?
Izzie: I'm sorry Scott. He needs a decision now.
(Lea's room)
Lea (to Dr. Burke): When would it happen?
Burke (walks over to the bed): We would take Scott to pre-op immediately. The transplant surgeon is on call and waiting. There isn't much time.
Lea: Scotty. Scotty.
Scott: Yeah, okay. (Mrs. Seibert tilts her head back in relief) I want to do it.
Lea (whispers): Oh thank you.
Burke (heads to the door): Let's get him to pre-op. I'll call the sur—
Scott (interrupts, staring at his mother): I have a couple of conditions.
Scott: You're gonna tell the cops the truth about what happened in this accident mom. And as soon as we get back home you and I are moving out. Enough is enough.
Burke walks out of the room. Cristina, Izzie and Alex follow slowly one by one[/i])
(Nurse's station)
Burke: 18 year old, liver donor, no malignancy or transmittable diseases, ETA about 10 minutes.
Cristina: You know she's just gonna go back to him?
Burke: Well I don't know that. It's not my—
Cristina (interrupts, softly): It's not our call.
Burke: Well, Cristina, Uh, I was wondering uh, I mean ah I was hoping that we can ah I know we didn't
Cristina (interrupts softly): You're asking me
Burke: Are you okay?
Cristina: Can I scrub in?
(He takes a breath and nods slightly)
Cristina: Then yes Dr. Burke, I'm okay.
(She walks off. Burke walks away from the nurse's station as well)
Burke: Karev, let's get him to pre-op.
(Cut to George and Derek in the MRI viewing room as the donor patient lies in the MRI machine. They're looking at images of her brain)
Derek (points at the screen): You see the tumor on her brain stem right here?
George: It looks pretty bad.
Derek: You ever had a crappy day O'Malley? I mean really, really crappy?
George: I have had many crappy days.
Derek: This one just got better. (To Dr. Orsen in the doorway) You might as well go home gentleman. I will be the only one of us performing surgery here today. My friend here has a viable brain.
Dr. Orsen (nods, difficulty): Okay.
(He walks off)
Doctor: That's it then.
Doctor: Yep.
(The rest of the transplant team heads off)
George: Do you really think she'll be okay?
Derek: With the tumor out she's got a good shot of recovery.
(He smiles at George and gets up and walks to the doorway)
Derek: Look out for her.
(George looks up and realizes he's talking about Meredith)
George: Meredith?
Derek: Yeah.
(Derek walks away)
(George runs into Olivia in the hallway)
Olivia: Oh, um �
(She gestures to a waiting through a window where a family sits waiting)
George: Is it the family of the dead guy?
Olivia (nods): Yeah.
George: Look, maybe I'm not over the Alex thing or the syph thing, yet. That, that's not really the problem. � �. (Olivia looks slightly pained) There's a girl who I uh, and it doesn't matter there's this other guy and frankly I wouldn't care if she gave me the Ebola virus. (Olivia smiles briefly) I like you Olivia, I but � I just don't like you enough.
Olivia (nods forcing a smile): I gave it a sh*t, right? (George slightly huffs. In a more serious tone) And you were honest. That's good.
(George kisses her forehead)
Olivia: You know what you're going to tell them?
(George stops and walks slightly back towards Olivia. He looks at the family again)
George: Why do we hump on every dead or dying patient that comes through those doors?
Olivia: Experience?
George: So we can tell their family that we did everything we could.
(He walks into the waiting room as Olivia watches on through the window)
George: Are you Ted's family?
(Cut to Derek and Daisy standing in an empty elevator entering something into his mobile phone. Addison walks into the elevator dressed to go home)
Derek: Just when the day was improving.
Addison: You told Meredith what happened?
(He puts the phone away and walks over to the other side to push an elevator button. Daisy is now in the middle staying silent and wishing this conversation to be over with already.)
Derek (he gives her a weird look): I did. What did you tell her?
(The doors to the elevator shut)
Addison: That sometimes people do desperate things to attract attention.
Derek (disbelieving): What? Wow. That's your side of this? That I didn't pay you enough attention. Is that what you were thinking when you got naked with my best friend?
(Addison reaches over and hits an elevator button as well, Daisy sighed. Why did she get on this elevator with them? Oh right, she was on it first and then the two got on after her.)
Addison: No, by that point I wasn't thinking at all Derek. By that point I was just scratching an itch. We got successful you and me. We got busy and we got lazy. We didn't even bother to fight any more Derek. And Mark was there and I missed you. And now I'm sorry. (Derek pushes his floor button again) I'm more sorry than you can possibly imagine. But at least I'm talking to you about it.
(The doors open and Derek heads out)
Addison (imploringly): Derek.
Derek: I'm a sink with an open drain honey.
(He leaves Addison looking confused)
Daisy: It's something Meredith said to him this morning.
Addison: Oh, I'm sorry Daisy. I didn't mean to put you between Derek and I's problems. It seems that this happens more often than not though.
Daisy: It's alright. I'm used to being in the middle of everyone's problems. I'm going to be honest with you though.
Addison: Honest is good.
Daisy: He's in love with Meredith. So even if you try, I don't know if you can fix what's already been broken between you two.
Addison sighed.
Addison: I feared so, but even so, I have to try. If you ever fall in love, you'd understand as well.
Daisy looked at her soul bonded awkwardly.
Her soul was only made for two possible people. Falling in love with someone else, it just seemed impossible. She didn't think she'd ever try again unless it was with either Addison, or whoever her imprint was.
She couldn't bare losing them like she lost Lincoln.
Daisy: Indo understand.
Addison: What?
Daisy: I understand what you mean. That you'd fight for your love. I get it. (Daisy said holding up her necklace for Addison to see the beautiful engagement ring and wedding ring set on it.)
Addison gasped as she saw the two rings. Looking at the beautiful design on the ring.
Simple and elegant, something that described Daisy very well. She didn't strike Addison as someone who would want something very complex and over the top.
Addison: you're married?
Honestly Addison had never thought that she could be married.
She didn't truly seem the type to be married. And she never talks about her personal life all that much.
According to the other interns at least. The only person she truly talks to about that stuff was apparently Meredith Grey.
Daisy: (shook her head.) I'm not.
Addison looked at the girl confused.
Addison: Then who's rings are those?
Daisy sighed as she looked down at them with sorrow in her eyes.
Daisy: Well, they're mine technically. Before I came out as a lesbian truly, I lived a man named Lincoln. He was the light of my life, any time I was with him was magical. I loved him a lot. We met in the army, I was 17 he was about 19, we fell in love quickly. Spent a whole year together. I really thought we'd be married by now.
Addison: But you're not?
She wanted to know why hearing this hurt her so much. The girl still talked as if she were in love with him.
Daisy: No. We had a mission, our target was a man who had this drug that allowed him to control people, my team was sent in to take him out. I got mind controlled. The feeling of not being in control of your own body... It's terrifying. Being trapped as I watched myself hurt my teammates, my family. It's the worst feeling in the world. They didn't know it wasn't me doing these things until a month in. I killed people I didn't want to, but I did. The drug was too strong. When I got the strength to fight back, he injected me again. The thing about the drug is, the more you use it, the more it becomes addictive. About three months later my team freed me. I was horrified by everything that I did, you know. I had hurt and almost killed my partner, the man who'd always had my back on missions. Then the man, I call him Hive, he can back to take control of me again, and for a split second, I wanted him to. I didn't want to deal with the pain that I had experienced when I was under his control. I fought him, I stabbed him in the chest, but he wouldn't die. He had a bomb strapped to his chest, I had the idea of taking him into space, controlling the explosion. I was ready to fly that plane out there and sacrifice myself for all the problems I had caused. I was in the plane, I had went to take a seat, next thing I know I'm waking up on the hanger floor. Lincoln has knocked me unconscious, he took my place. His last word's to me were him saying he was doing this because he loved me, because he wanted to save the girl he wanted to marry. Practically proposed to me right before he exploded. When I was cleaning his bunk out, I found the rings with his pictures of us. I wear them everyday in his memory.
Addison looked thoughtful. Three things on her mind.
I mean, the story was sad, why would anyone make a mind control drug?
Seeing Daisy in pain was something that she never wanted to see again,
And, maybe this story was supposed to teach her something? As of right now she wasn't exactly sure, but she'd think about it whenever she and Derek were together for the rest of her life(not that she'd know that.)
(Mr. Hubble, post surgery)
Mr. Hubble: Did you get them all?
Meredith: Yes. It wasn't easy. Or very pleasant. How do you feel?
Mr. Hubble: Empty. I feel empty now.
Meredith: Yeah. I've been feeling a little bit of that myself lately.
Mr. Hubble: I can see that.
Meredith: Mr. Hubble, why does eating doll heads fill you up? What's the satisfaction?
Mr. Hubble: Do you really want to know?
Meredith: Would it be too much information?
Mr. Hubble (half shrugs): Might.
Meredith: Maybe I'm better left in the dark.
(She leaves)
MVO: There's something to be said about a glass half full.
(Cut to Burke walking down a hallway, past Scott's post-op room where Alex sits at his bedside. Izzie is there talking to a nurse)
MVO: About knowing when to say when.
(Burke is in the hallway in front of the OR. board. Dr. Domner walks by and gives Burke a pat on the arm. Burke smiles and lets out a breath of air)
MVO: I think it's a floating line. A barometer of need and desire.
(Burke watches as a scrubs nurse wipes of some surgeries written on the OR board and starts writing on new ones)
MVO: It's entirely up to the individual.
(Burke is walking up to the doorway of Mrs. Seibert's room. Mrs. Seibert who is actually looking more bruised and battered than before sits up. The camera shows 2 police officers in there with notepads)
MVO: And depends on what's being poured.
(Burke walks past one of the OR's. Bailey holding a plastic bag filled with 10 Judy doll heads. She shakes her head in displeasure of it all and throws it in the waste bin)
(Burke is smiling walking down a hall. He stops when sees Cristina a few feet away. She stops walking as she's about to enter a room. They make eye contact and stare at each other for a bit.)
MVO: Sometimes all we want is a taste.
(Cristina breaks and walks into the room. Burke turns and continues walking)
MVO: Other times, there's no such thing as enough. The glass is bottomless.
(Derek is operating on the donor transplant patient in an OR. George stands very close to him observing. In the gallery, Dr. Burke is standing watching the procedure. He moves and leaves the room. As he moves he reveals Meredith standing there watching as well)
MVO: And all we want is more.
(Derek operating and then back to Meredith watching him)
...
Daisy walked into her home and is greeted by Seth and Leah who both smile up at their alpha.
Daisy: Let's go for a run. It's been a long day for me, and I'm assuming for you guys as well.
Seth: Sure. School was tougher than usual.
Leah: Bad case.
Daisy: Then let's run it off.
The three quickly walk into the backyard and strip before changing and then running off.
Playfully nudging each other as they go along.
