[listens to Meredith and Owen whine about having to attend the fundraiser] Listen to you two. This is not that difficult. Just be charming. Use the same skills you would if you were picking someone up at a bar. [glances at Meredith] I know you know how to do that.
S10 E4Puttin' On The Ritz
[voice over] Overture. Curtain. Lights. This is it. The night of nights. No more rehearsing and nursing a part. We know every part by heart. Tonight, what heights we'll hit. On with the show. This is it.
S10 E5I Bet It Stung
[voice over] Here's what I learned my first day at medical school. Think long and hard before choosing to become a surgeon. It takes 100% commitment. You have to be on your A game every single time you walk into that OR. When patients are lying on your table, completely at your mercy, they need to know that when you make that first cut you know what you're doing. No other specialty requires the time, the focus, the complete dedication... Except maybe being a mom.
You stole my liver?
Uh come on. I deserve this. I've been on the bench for months.
You deserve nothing.
I named my son after you. [singsong] You can't be mad at me.
Your son is the devil's spawn. He drinks the milk of a liver thief!
[voice over] What if your focus splits? What if you can't be all in? Are you left with nothing at all? Maybe you just need to find a different path. Here's what's horrifying, what if you can't give 100%? Maybe you just need to go back to the beginning and start all over again.
S10 E6Map Of You
[voice over] Researchers are currently working on a map of the human brain. It may be the most complex map ever created. Billions of neurons making trillions of connections. At first glance, they seem completely random. But there's nothing random about them. All these connections have to happen in a specific pattern. It is designed for a function. These connections determine everything about us. What we love, what we hate, what we say, what we do. [speaking] Every action we take.
I have a career and a family, and I'm going to do both. What I don't have time for is for you to tell me that I can't.
I never said that.
You know, I was always there for you, for whatever you needed, and now this is when I need you, and you're supposed to help me. And instead, last week you pushed me aside because I had a baby. You don't have time for me now? Because you don't have time for people who want things that you don't want.
[to Meredith] Spending time with the kids is not a consolation prize. It is the prize.
[voice over] We are just starting to learn the extent of the brain's connections. How far they reach, how deep they go. But we know that every connection matters. Every connection is crucial. And when one is broken, it usually means some damage has been done. This system of connections tells us to act and choose and behave. Sometimes seemingly against our own will. But it is not random at all. It is the map of who we are. We will work to understand ourselves, solve the puzzle. How all the connections work and all the pieces fit.
S10 E7Thriller
[voice over] Every Halloween we make a choice about what kind of costume we are going to wear. Something sexy, maybe you'll be someone scary. Or you could be a superhero which is what I'm trying to be this year.
[voice over] Halloween is not for the faint of heart, there's a surprise around every corner. Some of the surprises are good and some of the surprises are bad. What's important is you can't let the fear of the surprise stop you from getting dressed up and wandering up to a stranger's house to ask the question, "So what'll it be? Trick? Or Treat?".
S10 E8Two Against One
[voice over] Glioma, fibroma, blastoma. Whatever the tumor, people assume you approach it the same way. You find its hiding place in the body and open the patient up and you cut it the hell out. But you're not just fighting the one tumor, you're actually at war with over a billion cells.
[voice over] So, how do you beat the odds when it's one against a billion? You stand strong, keep pushing yourself past all rational limits and never let yourself give up. But the truth of the matter is, despite how hard you try and fight to stay in control, when it's all said and done, sometimes you're just outnumbered.
S10 E9Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word
[voice over] Doctors never mean to screw up. They make a bad call and the unthinkable happens. It's not like we do it on purpose, it's not like we want to hurt anyone but sometimes we do. Sometimes we make mistakes... and when we blow it, we're sorry. Not that being sorry really matters, not anymore. No apology in the world matters now.
[voice over] We've all done things we aren't proud of. I understand that. I know nobody's perfect. But how do you live with it? How do you get up every morning and face the world knowing you could have done better?... That you should have done better. Is being sorry enough? Can an apology actually heal our wounds, ease our pain? Can it undo the hurt that we've caused?
