[opening voice over] I love puzzles. Since I was a kid. My record for the Friday New York Times crosswords is 11 minutes, when I was 13. I'm still trying to beat that. Okay, that sounds braggy. I just mean, once I pick a puzzle up, I can't put it down until it's solved. I think puzzles are why I went into medicine. That's what most of medicine is. Gather all available information, assess the problem, you focus your attention, and you solve the puzzle. People are a harder puzzle. There's never one right answer and you never have all of the information.
“Puzzle With a Piece Missing” · Season 11, Episode 2
In this episode: Maggie (5), Miranda Bailey (2), Richard Webber (1), Owen Hunt (1), Amelia Shepherd (1), Jackson Avery (1), Jo (1)
You have a genome lab here?
We did. The board just voted...
We do, and I still have a set of keys. And if the board has a problem with that, you have them come talk to me, and I'll tell them what hole they can push that through!
(Bailey walks off.)
Was she bringing the thunder or did we just piss her off?
Dr. Bailey doesn't need to bring anything. She is the thunder.
Amelia Shepherd, do you know Dr. Maggie Pierce?
Weird, you're the second Dr. Shepherd I've met today.
Derek is my brother.
: I'm sorry. Is everyone in this room somehow related?
(Amelia looks at Maggie and Webber and laughs.)
I'm gonna leave you two alone. Nice meeting you.
Dr. Pierce, Dr. Bailey told me you ordered an exome panel for her patient.
They caught me. And I threw you under the bus. Sorry.
Yeah, Dr. Bailey's genome-research program has been discontinued.
You know, I heard that. And I have to say, I think it's stupid. Genome mapping is like getting the answers in the back of the book. It is the key to so many medical solutions. Closing that program makes your board look like a bunch of morons.
Have you met Dr. Avery?
Yeah, plastics, right?
Dr. Avery is also a voting member on the board.
Of course you are.
[ending voice over] Most puzzles come down to one last piece of information missing. Whether it's the answer to a medical mystery, it all comes down to that last piece. That's why the final piece of a jigsaw puzzle is so satisfying to place. Unless of course, the piece doesn't quite fit. That can make you wish you never opened the puzzle in the first place.
