We are only doing her harm.
You don't get it! You wouldn't. Meredith, I love my mother enough not to say "screw it" and throw her down a damn drain!
S13 E18Be Still, My Soul
Diane, you don't have to keep putting yourself through this. Not if you don't want to.
DDiane
I was born in a two-room shed with an outhouse, six brothers, not a lot of food or love or anything. Getting out of there was... When that social worker put this little baby in my arms, when I looked down at my Maggie... Maggie's the universe giving me a gift. She is a happy person. She's cheerful. Maggie is rare. She's special. This will give her darkness. How can I do that to the most special person in the whole world? When I die, she needs to know that she did everything that she could.
Diane, she has. Maggie's done everything there is to do.
DDiane
I can't stop. I can't do that to her.
She can take it. You may not see it because you've known her since she was a little girl. I mean, I didn't. I only know the woman you raised. And that woman is smart, and strong as iron, especially for the people she loves. Now, well... now I see where she gets it.
DDiane
I don't want to die.
She's gonna go. I'm not ready. I'm not ready.
You're never ready. You just...do it. Listen to her. Talk to her about whatever she wants to talk about. Record her voice in your mind. Just keep sitting there.
[closing voice-over] I think about my mom's note all the time. Tell Meredith not to... not to cave? Not to care? Not to give up so easily? Not to fall in love? Not to have children? Not to tell a lie? She left me wondering what to do, what not to do. She left me knowing everything was up to me and me alone. And she left me with no one to ask. So I would decide what she meant to write. Tell Meredith not to be afraid. Goodbye, Mom.
S13 E19What's Inside
[opening voice-over] Curiosity killed the cat. It also killed a lot of Ancient Greeks when Pandora had to open that box full of death and pestilence and stuff. Why do we have to know what's behind door number three, even when we're pretty sure it'll be bad for us?
I guess it's better than the way I did grief.
Which time?
The time with the Oxy binges.
[shrugs] I go a little dark and twisty, but then I come back.
A little dark and twisty? You disappeared. You had a secret baby.
Please don't refer to your niece as my secret baby.
Oh my God! I mean, I understand why you're into her. She's hot. Wait, she likes you?
What? I mean, I'm going to try not to be offended at that.
No, no, no. It's just that Derek was--Derek was epic for her. They were the great love story. I mean, that girl's heart beat for Derek Shepherd. It just...it never occurred to me that she would ever be with anyone else. He was perfect. He was everything. That man turned her world. It...I spooked you. Don't be spooked.
[closing voice-over] Put yourself in Pandora's shoes. She's given a gift, a wondrous box, filled with things she never even knew existed. Of course she opened it. Wouldn't you?
S13 E20In the Air Tonight
[opening voice-over] Turbulence. It means anything from a few little bumps to a catastrophic weather system that could knock your flying tin can right out of the air. In surgery, we call it a complication. We've hit a snag, a bump in the road. Turbulence. So, you know, you better buckle up.
[Sighs] You, too, huh?
Excuse me?
You’re looking for a place to hide so you can get five minutes alone without someone new asking for a consult. I just had a lady in row 27 ask for a mole check.
[Laughs]
[Sighs] How’s it going with your dentist friend? You guys seem pretty chummy.
You’re one to talk.
Hmm?
How long were you wrapping your flight attendant’s arm?
Oh, her name’s Candace.
Mm.
It’s what I do when I board a plane. I always ask the crews their name. It’s a respect thing.
Oh.
Also, it usually gets me free drinks.
Ah.
What was your plans crash like?
I told you. It was bad.
I know, but what was it like?
Uh. It was cold. So cold. Even being numb was cold. I could not warm up. You know, they call us the Seattle Grace Five. There were six of us that went up, and only five of us came back. And now there are only three of us alive. My sister died out there.
You-You have another sister?
Mm-hmm. My kid sister Lexie. I loved her. [Inhales deeply] Anyway, it's weird. Sometimes I feel like I'm cursed. A lot of people die around me. Sometimes I feel like I'm just waiting for my turn.
I’m sorry about your sister. Hmm. It makes sense now.
What does?
The way you feel about Maggie… How you wanna protect her. I mean, I get it better.
Well there’s nothing to get.
I mean, it makes sense, you know, all the self-sacrifice. You don’t want to lose this one, too.
Is it so crazy that I would put someone else’s happiness before mine?
No, but, I mean, it’s not completely practical in the long run. I mean, at some point, you have to think about the things that are gonna make you happy, too.
And you think you’re it?
Well, you haven’t exactly been backing away from me.
I told you — what happened in the bathroom —
I’m not just talking about the damn bathroom.
Then what?
For months now. Look — You try to stay away. Maybe you even want to stay away. But you don’t. You never do. A week ago, you called it quits. An hour ago, we’re having sex in the bathroom.
Will you stop it, please?
I will respect whatever up decide, okay? But don’t sit here and pretend that you don’t want this thing between you and me as much as I do.
I am married
You just treated a bloke's brain bleed with a cocktail straw! You're so fearless about so many things. How the hell are you still scared?
I'm not scared. I'm making a choice. I'm prioritizing my family, my sister.
Please, don't pretend this is still about Pierce, it's not. You're scared.
Of what?
Of him. Of letting him go.
[closing voice-over] One of the most unpredictable things about encountering turbulence is its aftermath. Everything's been shaken up. Undone. Turned on its head. So, if you have the choice to avoid the plane crash, do you take it? Do you play it safe? Or do you get on board and take your chances?
S13 E21Don't Stop Me Now
I'm going to make the time to talk to Maggie today.
Just make me the bad guy. Tell her it was all me.
I was going to tell you and then your mother died and then I just couldn't. I didn't want to hurt you and Nathan didn't want to hurt you
No, this isn't about Nathan, it's you. I trusted you, to be honest with me. When you and my mother lied to me and now she's dead.
[to Maggie] I am very sorry that I screwed up and I hurt you, but you're my sister, and I sure as hell am not losing you over a guy.
