[voiceover] Like I said, disappearances happen. Pains go phantom. Blood stops running and people, people fade away. There's more I have to say, so much more, but... I've disappeared.

What is your problem?

You know everyone's back. Everyone's back except her. And I listen to her. Everyday, about her McLove life, her McDreamy, her McCrap. And the one day, the one day I have a thing she disappears...

Meredith, this is about Meredith.

She doesn't know yet.

Meredith?

She's my person.

Right. And if Meredith doesn't approve, then what?

This, this is not about getting her approval, it's about...

What?

Telling her makes it, makes it... If I murdered someone, she's the person I'd call to help me drag the corpse across the living room floor.

Ok, so now, you're likening someone here to a corpse. I'm done.

She's my person.

[after finding out about Meredith] It's Meredith?

Yeah.

Are you sure? Did you see her? Because it could be...

[grabs her arm] It's Meredith.

Oh. [sees Derek crying in hall] Oh. Oh.

She will come through this.

You don't know that.

She will come through this.

People die.

I know people die. People die in front of us every day. But I believe Meredith will survive this. I believe - I believe - I believe in the good. I believe that it's been a hell of a year, and I believe that in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary, we will all be okay. I believe a lot of things. I believe that - I believe that Denny is always with me. And I believe that if I eat a tub of butter and no one sees me, then calories don't count. And I believe that surgeons who prefer staples over stitches are just lazy. [to George] And I believe that you are a man who made a terrible mistake marrying Callie. And I believe that because I am your best friend, I can tell you this and we can be okay. I believe that even though you made this mistake, you will be okay. I believe we survive, George. I believe that believing we survive is what makes us survive.
