Meredith [voiceover] Doctors practice deception all the time. We give vague answers to hard questions. We don't talk about post-op pain. We say you'll experience some discomfort. If you didn't die, we tell you that surgery went well. But the placebo has to be the doctor's greatest deception. Half of our patients we tell the truth, the other half, we pray that the placebo effect is real. And we tell ourselves that they'll feel better anyhow. Believing help is on the way, when in fact, we're leaving them to die.
“Don't Deceive Me (Please Don't Go)” · Season 7, Episode 13
In this episode: Callie Torres (2), Mark Sloan (2), Lexie Grey (2), Arizona Robbins (1)
What did Arizona say?
Well, she said she's in.
Well, that's good, right?
Eh, I'm still hedging my bets. I'm not gonna move back in with her until I know for sure she's not gonnna bail again.
[walks up] Hey, you got dinner plans tonight?
No.
I'm cooking for you tonight, your place. I rocked the lab coli. [kisses him and walks off]
So when you gonna tell her?
Not until after my home cooked meal.
Mark, you do not have to do this. I'm giving you a get out of jail free card, no hard feelings, you can be the cool uncle that hangs out on Sundays.
I'm not the cool uncle. I'm the dad.
You love Lexie. And the last time a Sloan kid appeared in Seattle she dumped you. Now, if you were the cool uncle...
I'm not the cool uncle! Don't ever say that again. This is my kid. I want this kid. [mutters] Cool uncle.
Well, so then tell her. Do not wait until this kid comes out looking all Sloan-y.
[to Callie] Shut up. Just shut up. You don't get to tell me that we're not together. We are together. Because I love you and you love me, and none of the rest of it matters. We are together. And if you ever sleep with anyone else again, man or woman, I will kick the crap out of you. Now you sit your ass back down there because that's my baby in there. I don't want anything happening to my baby.
[smiling] Your baby, huh?
[smiles back] Our baby.
I'm putting in tarragon, not that I have any idea what tarragon tastes like but I think when people use tarragon it makes them seem like they know what they're doing. Basil can't do that. Anybody can sling some basil around the kitchen.
Callie's pregnant.
Oh my God, that's great. She loves babies. Did- Did they do a turkey baster thing or- or something? I mean, wait a minute, okay, so wait. Arizona just got back... and they, were they doing this, wait was this before... [looks at Mark who's looking down, then he looks at her, she realizes]
I saw the heart beat today. This is my kid, this is a part of me. ... Please, is there any way we can...
[teary eyed] How the hell did you get me in this position... [slams counter] twice?! It... It is... Unbelievable. You are unbelievable!
Meredith [voiceover] Doctors practice deception every day. On our patients, on their families… But the worst deception we practice is on ourselves. Which is why sometimes it takes us a while to realize that the truth has been in front of us the whole time.
