[voiceover] Doctors live in a world of constant progress and forward motion. Stand still for a second, and you'll be left behind. But as hard as we try to move forward, as tempting as it is to never look back, the past always comes back to bite us in the ass. And as history shows us again and again, those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it.

He needs a spinal tap. His falling could have burst an aneurysm and some bleeds show up on a spinal tap that don't on the CT.

And some doctors enjoy torturing patients because they messed up and don't know what they're gonna do with the rest of their lives.
You are the one that got me fired. You owe me this, you little bitch. Unless of course you want me to find that snotty Reed, what's her name? Tell her how much you love her. Cause I will.
Miranda.
Oh, Adele. Oh I'm so sorry, I sent the Chief into surgery. Do you want me to-
What I want is for you to tell me the truth. Are you having an affair with my husband?
I am not having an affair with your husband!
I saw the way you handled him just now.
Handled! I did not... handle... there was no handling... we work together.
You spend every waking moment together, you finish each other's sentences, you read each other's minds. You're more married to that man than I am.
Yeah, but that's just because they're husband and work-wife.
Excuse me?
The Chief's your work-husband and you're his work-wife. You look out for each other, you take care of each other, there's nothing wrong with it, it's like me and Sloan.
Excuse me?
Nobody's talking to you. He's my work-husband but he has a girlfriend, I have a girlfriend, but nothing going on between us.
I mean, there was at one point...
You're not helping.
Neither one of you are helping. Adele, I promise you there's nothing going on.
Something is going on because he hasn't been in his bed all week.
What?
Really?
The last time he acted like this, disappearing, sleeping at the hospital every night, he was with Ellis Grey. He may not be having an affair with you-
He's not, I promise you. I promise you, he's not.
Okay. But wife-wife to work-wife, someone in this hospital is sleeping with our husband.
So are you back or...
Oh, did you want me to come back? Cause you told the Chief you had serious doubts about my abilities to be here.
What?
You went behind my back and told the Chief I wasn't ready to be here.
He was making cuts, I was protecting you.
You got me fired Alex.
Is that what you think?
This job was the one thing I had left, the one thing, and you took that away from me. You interfered and got me fired. I have forgiven you for a lot Alex. I've had to forgive you for a lot, but I cannot forgive you for this.
You made an assumption. You decided I did something. You didn't ask. You didn't hang around to talk. I am your husband and you didn't give me the benefit of the doubt. So you know what? I can't forgive you either.
[voiceover] Sometimes the past is something you just can't let go of. And sometimes the past is something we'll do anything to forget. And sometimes we learn something new about the past that changes everything we know about the present.
