[opening voice-over] So you might be thinking, I’ve been here before. This is familiar. This is old hat. Maybe you’re wondering why we are here. But I promise, you are about to find out that everything has changed.
“Sledgehammer” · Season 12, Episode 1
In this episode: Meredith Grey (2), Miranda Bailey (1), Arizona Robbins (1), Maggie (1), Stephanie (1)
You are kind of a legend with the interns and residents.
Go on.
You're one of the Seattle Grace Five.
I survived a plane crash. Uh, big deal.
And a car crash. And a shooting. You might be immortal. You mastered one of the most exclusive specialties basically overnight, and then you took Herman's job and her eyesight.
Okay, that's... that's just...
You have screwed dozens of interns, and you got them all fired. You speak really fast, like superhuman fast. You have a weird name.
You know, that's not true. That's not true. I only slept with one intern, and I have an awesome name! I mean, like what man, what? What else? I mean what do people have a problem with the fact that I have one leg. I mean, do people actually go there and talk crap about a one-legged woman? Because that is just discrimination against amputees.
They say you have two legs and you are only pretending one is amputated. For the parking space.
This is not a stepping stone for me. I believe in this hospital and what it can do. And I wanna push this bucket of boats to do the most impossible things you have ever seen. And then I'll do more. Because this is my challenge.
BTBethany Tanner
You have some nerve coming here.
STSteven Tanner
Bethany...
Mrs. Tanner, I would like to apologize. I was totally out of line before.
BTBethany Tanner
To think I trusted you to treat my daughter.
STSteven Tanner
Bethany!
BTBethany Tanner
I am suing you, and everyone else we have met in this god-forsaken...
STSteven Tanner
Bethany, shut up! No one is suing. No one is pressing charges. The person who should be apologizing is you! We almost lost our child today! She almost died! We are not sending Jess away! This stops now. Do you hear me? It stops now!
BTBethany Tanner
Steven, what are you saying?
STSteven Tanner
This stops, or I am gone. I will leave, and I will take Jess with me, and you will never see her again! I don't care if she’s gay! I care if she's loved. I care if she's happy. And that is what you should care about! What is wrong with you that you don't?!
[closing voice-over] I want you to stop and take a closer look at the body in front of you. There's nothing special about it. It's just a body. So why are you here? What's so different? What's changed? My answer is you. The thing's that changed is you. I want you to throw everything you think you know about anatomy out the window and look at this cadaver like you've never seen a human body before. Now pick up your scalpels, place them below the xiphoid process, press firmly, no regrets, and let's begin.
