[opening voice over] Your kids. Your keys. Your family photo album. It's the list you repeat in your head before you fall asleep. It's the short list of things you'd grab in case of disaster. The list makes you feel in control. Your kids. Your keys. Your family photo album. When the fire starts, when the tsunami hits, when the earth literally quakes, do you remember your list? Or do you just duck and cover?
“I Feel the Earth Move” · Season 11, Episode 15

Oh, you had to dive on top of me?

You're right. All right. Next time, I'm gonna use you as my human shield.
I have an entire world to manage, all on my own. My world does not and should not revolve around Derek Shepherd. I wanted to go to D.C. this weekend, but I'm a busy surgeon with two kids at home, and he's at the N.I.H. So right now, we're just going to have to accept that this is the way our lives work.

All right, fine. You have a happy marriage. With no husband in it.
I don't need Derek. I don't need him in my house. I obviously don't need him to prove I can have 89 good outcomes in a row. I'm doing great. My kids are happy. My career is soaring. Derek going to D.C. did exactly what it was supposed to do, which is remind me of who I am outside of my marriage, which, by the way, I'm kind of amazing.
Okay.
But that doesn't mean that I don't want to share it with him. I want to tell him that I'm... We're on a streak.

(answering Derek's phone) Hello?
Hi. Is he in the lab?
WWoman
What?
I know this is Derek Shepherd's phone. Who is this? Who is this? Hello?
[ending voice over] That list of things you'd grab in a disaster, Your kids. Your keys. Your family photo album. That list goes out the window when the disaster starts with you wondering if this must be the woman who's been screwing your husband. That's a whole other earthquake.
