[voiceover] There are medical miracles. Being worshippers of the altar of science, we don't like to believe miracles exist. But they do. Things happen. We can't explain them, we can't control them, but they do happen. Miracles do happen in medicine. They happen everyday, just not always when we need them to happen.
“Some Kind of Miracle” · Season 3, Episode 17
In this episode: Meredith Grey (4), Cristina Yang (1), Preston Burke (1), Denny (1), Ellis (1)
What happened in that water?
I swam, I fought!
No, you didn't, and you can't stay here, Meredith.
I don't want to!
Yeah, you do. It's easier, but you can't. Because George's dad died, because Izzie lost me, and Cristina, when she was nine she was in a car accident with her father and he bled out right in front of her while they waited for an ambulance to arrive, and Alex...
Stop!
They are barely breathing, this will break them, and none of them deserves that. And this, this is the big one, so you pay attention. Do you know what kind of miracle it is that Derek is who he is? Do you know how rare it is that someone like him even exists? He's still an optimist. He still believes in true love and magic and soul mates. He's waiting for you, and if you don't come back from this... you will change who he is.
You know, some do come back from this.
You know what? I am not a civilian. I know the science here. It's drinking time.
Not yet. You have a responsibility to Meredith.
No. Uh-uh. I don't do this stuff. You should know. I don't go to great lengths.
Well, you were there for me.
After. After I knew you were going to make it. Hey, I'm not proud. Okay, I just... I can't. I can't go back there. I can't. I can't go back there and watch her.
Listen to me. This is about you and the woman you call your person. And you do know the science here. And if she dies, and you are sitting here when that happens, I can't see you coming back from that. Come and say goodbye to your friend.
You shouldn't be here.
Neither should you.
Just keep going. Don't be a damn - [hugs her] You are - You are anything but ordinary, Meredith. Now run. Run!
[voiceover] At the end of a day like this. A day when so many prayers are answered and so many aren't. We take our miracles where we find them. We reach across the gap and sometimes against all odds, against all logic... We touch.
