if there was any bearing down, if you create enough pressure
in the body, the weak parts will just burst open.

Look, part of becoming a man
means learning how to handle that.
It's like what they say in the Torah,
you have to leave room for the magic that only happens
when you let things look different than how
you imagine them.
- The Torah doesn't say that.
- I'm sure it says something like that.
What if you did it together, with Zayde.
This could be his chance to become a bar mitzvah with you.
- Ah, there he is.
Are you ready to reel into manhood together?
- You and me.
- Now, tell me, which one is Eloise Schurmann?
- The one in the pink dress.
- Ohh.
Eat. Eat. You're looking pale.
Now, wheels up.

I crushed it in there today.
Crushed it.

I thought about everything you said.

- Ellis stayed with her husband,
and by all accounts, that's why she became so bitter.
She was ambitious before that, but never cold.
She stayed.
She made everyone miserable.
My mom did the same thing.
She stayed with my dad for a long time,
even though she was in love with someone else.
Both of them, they didn't follow their hearts.
They didn't follow their guts.
They didn't bet on themselves.
They stayed to keep the peace.
They stayed to keep other people happy.
My heart is in my work, Winston.
I don't think I'm cold,
and I don't think you're a coward.
I think that--
I think we did the best we could and that neither of us
is to blame.
I love you,
but I have to go.
- I love you, too,
but I have to stay.
- She did great.
Her spinal cord was intact, and the swelling is coming down.
She should regain function within a few days.
- I know I can be a pain in the ass.
You know, when I was little, I would follow her around
everywhere--to the mall, football games, movies,
and I'm sure it feels a lot like that to her
now that I live next door.
But when she first got sick, you know,
I watched this person that I knew start to fade away,
and I told myself I would do whatever
it took to bring her back.
- You know, I got a younger sister,
and she can be a pain in my ass all the way from Los Angeles.
[all chuckle]
- I know she needs independence.
I know she wants it.
I just--I guess I wish I could fix it for her.
- Yeah.
Maybe you should talk to Teddy.
Kai could be a good fit here at Grey Sloan.
- Oh, nice job with the decorations.
Glad you got to practice your dexterity,
while I was repairing an anastomosis.

cervical spinal fusion.

because I'm coming for you.
- Ah, not worried, because I know you sleep
with two eyes closed. - Yasuda.
- Dr. Hunt, I am so sorry about today.
- No excuses. Get your act together,
or you won't see the inside of an OR for at least a week.
- Richard. Richard?
I've been looking for you.
- Yeah, me, too. Um--
Listen, your move, it's caught me off guard.
You have every right to pursue your career,
and you don't need me to affirm that.
- I know, but it feels nice.
- This is--this is for you.
It holds business cards.
- Oh! Oh, I thought it was--

that I had a daughter.
My life was forever changed in that moment.
I hope you remember me when you look at it.

London is too far for long distance,
and I spoke to Teddy.
Nothing is definite, but--
- You can't quit your job for me.
- No, I didn't.
She's expecting some research funding.
You could move here.
- Amelia, we work because of the long distance,
because you get to spend half of your time
with Scout and the other half with me,
and the two don't overlap.
- So is it about my kid? - No--
From the minute I told you about London, which
is the biggest career opportunity of my life,
you have made it about you.
There were no words of encouragement,
no congratulations, no acknowledgment
of how hard I worked for this.
This is about you and me
being at very different places in our lives.
I love you.
