“Why Try to Change Me Now” · Season 13, Episode 7

In this episode: Meredith Grey (3), Eliza (2), Alex Karev (1), Arizona Robbins (1)

[opening voice-over] If it ain't broke, don't fix it. The saying's as true of the human body as it is of a washing machine or a blender. A good surgeon knows that if you go screwing around with something that doesn't need screwing, you are the one who is liable to end up screwed.

This is because of me, isn't it? They're gonna overhaul the program because I beat up DeLuca.

Everything isn't about you. That doesn't even make sense.

A teacher beat up a student.

Oh. That makes sense.

You made a mistake.

I'm sorry?

I am great, and your little list or whatever the hell that is, that should have my name on it 'cause I raise great surgeons, and I will raise more. Fetal surgery is a very exclusive practice, and there are hardly any of us. I am like a rare, exotic bird, and if you stop me from teaching, I may be the last of my kind.

What list?

From the room... the residents. You left it there.

Oh. I was just trying to learn everyone's name. Writing it down helps me remember.

Oh. Oh, great. So you don't... You don't need to remember my name?

Arizona Robbins? That name attached to that face? No, that's not one you forget.

[to Bailey] You should know they'll hate you, the staff. It happens everywhere I go. Everyone hates the agent of change. I'm used to it, I'm good at it, but you should be prepared that they'll hate you, too, for bringing me on. Also, if I take the job, I work alone. I like Dr. Webber, respect the hell out of him, but if I come on, I don't share authority. I am the authority.

[closing voice-over] It's hard to admit when we're wrong, but even though everything looks fine, there's a problem. Something is broken and you have to see where it's broken and set about fixing it or it's all gonna come apart.
