Meredith: The body has approximately 11 organ systems,
all doing different things at the same time.
In order to keep us functioning, or, well, alive,
they need one voice... A leader, a master...
And in our brains, that job belongs to the pituitary gland.
It senses the body's needs before they even arise,
working nonstop.
The pituitary gland communicates with all of the other glands,
telling them when to produce
the vital hormones we need to function.
It keeps everything running smoothly, in perfect order.
You want a muffin?
No, no.
You sure? Go, go.
There's no denying it... it has the toughest job in the place.

Jackson: I can do a muscle patch.
With a little glue, it could form a clot,
and we can seal the vessel.
Will that even work? No, that's a temporary fix.
We need to open her neck
and do a primary repair of the carotid...
That's a major stroke risk.
Before she dies on the table. Wilson, prep the neck.
Wilson, you keep suctioning.
Who am I listening to? You need to listen to me!
You open her neck, she's gonna bleed out in seconds.
You let me do this,
I can stop the bleeding and help you remove the tumor.
Do not open her neck, please.
[ Monitor beeping rapidly ]
Move.
All right, we can use a patch from the thoracotomy incision.
Pierce, I need a piece of intercostal muscle right now, please.
Scalpel.

911.
What's wrong? What's happened?
We need to talk.
God, April, I thought you were dying!
I kind of am dying. I feel like we both are.
You paged me 911 so we could do this?!
Yes! Yes!
Okay. I needed to force a reaction out of you
because I am in a glass prison and I can't do anything.
So you're gonna stand there, and you're not gonna walk away
and you're gonna talk to me. You don't want to hear it.
Jackson, I... we already talked, April.
I told you what I needed, and you didn't hear it.
You didn't listen.
You went halfway around the damn world.
That wasn't a talk, Jackson.
That was an ultimatum, and our marriage
has never been a marriage of ultimatums. Oh, come on.
It wasn't an ultimatum. I gave you a choice.
No.
No, I made a choice long before that,
long before Samuel,
the army, any of it, and so did you.
We stood up
in that weird-smelling little chapel in Tahoe,
and before god, we chose to love one another
until we die.
You made that choice.
We chose to love and honor one another...
Honor one another, which you couldn't do... In front of god,
we promised each other that, through 'Cause you couldn't hear me
telling you that I needed you to stay.
I needed to go!
And you went!
You did what you needed to do... Twice, actually.
This marriage is full of ultimatums.
They're all yours.
Look, we...
We've been through a lot.
And you've changed.
No.
I've... I've grown.
And...
[ sighs ]
We haven't been through a lot.
Jackson, we're going through a lot right now.
We're going through a hard part.
This is... this is the worse of "for better or worse."
This is the mud,
and we just have to pull each other through it.
We just... we have to push, and we have to fight.

No, please don't...

Okay.
So, where are we with Jade?
I got the whole tumor.
She had a... Bad left carotid bleed.
I took her to angio, put in a stent.
But she's likely to have deficits...
Possibly a stroke, paralysis...
She's still out.
Speech and language issues, vision loss.
Pressure's good, but we won't know.
Or she could just be in a coma.
You people are extraordinary.
I mean, I came in here today and did all kinds of things wrong,
but in spite of that,
you all still did amazing and perfect work.
And you found a way to do something
that was, in fact, impossible.
So if there is a bad outcome, it's my bad outcome.
Tomorrow...
I will be better.

Hey, cross. Let's go.
You're prepping O.R. five for grey's lab chole.
I'm sorry. What? Dr. Wilson has me today.
It's for the chief.
Now, cross. Come.
No, stay.
You've cut lines, y-y-you've stolen nurses,
you've even rearranged the O.R. board.
You are not stealing him. He is mine... mine.
Back off.
Uh, if the chief needs him for grey, you got to let him go.
Thank you, Dr. Karev.

She got what she wanted by beating the system.

I checked with griggs. You're clear.
I mean, he was leaving, so he asked me to let you out.
So I'm not sick.
Most likely contact dermatitis.
Told him that 12 hours ago.
Um, and, uh, look... I'm... I'm sorry if,
you know, I hurt you.
We have to be honest with each other.
You were just being honest. I appreciate that.
Thank you.
I mean, you're wrong.
April.
But we are something worth fighting for,
and I want to fight.
So I'll fight for the both of us.
I will launch a full-scale assault.
I will ambush and slash and burn
and fight until I am bloody for us.
I will fight to the death because I vowed to.
And nothing that's happened since then has changed that.
You see? This is it.
You just want what you want.
You don't care what I think.
I love you too much to let my mistake end our marriage.
I won't break my promise to you, so I'm gonna fight.
And I'm gonna win.
