[opening voice-over] Don't you wish you could just take it back? That thing you said? That thing you did? There's no undo button. There's only hoping we can learn. We can change, right? We can do better. We can't take back what we've done. We can't undo the past, cause the future keeps coming at us.
S13 E1Undo
[about Alex] What about you? Is it just blind loyalty?
It's not blind. He's earned it. When I first got here, he was one of the worst people I had ever met in my life. And now he's one of the best. And I know both of these people are still in there. I just want to make sure the right one wins.
You encouraged me to stay. You offered me a home and a family and I accepted. And I wasn't kidding, I will go down swinging for you. It means something to me. I thought I could trust you.
You can. From here on out.
Don't do it again. Don't lie to me again.
They look happy.
They do.
That won't last. I'm not saying I don't want it to. I'm not just being an ass.
Actually...
This has never been my experience of happiness. That it lasts.
[closing voice-over] Best to keep the past in the past. Move on. Learn from it. We don't learn from our mistakes, we wind up locked into a future we never choose. The past is written, there's no changing it. What's done is done, but the future is ours to choose, for better or worse.
S13 E2Catastrophe and the Cure
[opening voice-over] As surgeons, we are our brother's keepers. Ride or die. Womb to tomb. We see each other's fears. We see the white knuckle panic of failure. We see ourselves. And who the hell likes looking at that?
You invited Riggs to our house?
We have a new home. We're supposed to have friends and family over to warm it up, right?
Wait. This is a housewarming? Who else did you invite?
You two were so happy at the wedding, and you were so close once.
That was a long time ago. You should have checked with me first.
Sorry. You're right. I meant to.
You were never gonna check with me, were you?
Probably not.
You were the big surprise. You were most improved. The person that beat up DeLuca is someone I thought you left behind years ago.
Me too.
I can't in good conscience let you perform surgery in this hospital right now. You're a good doctor! You're compassionate. And you're good with people. You're exactly what we need right now in the clinic. A little mole told me they're short-staffed.
The Denny Duquette Clinic?
Unless you want me to fire you.
This is you and Riggs at the wedding. You invited him.
Okay, what happened to no more meddling?
You married a 12-stepper. Get used to it.
Why is this so important to you?
You guys were like best friends. You're brothers. You don't get a lot of those in your life. So you have to try. You're required to try.
I am happy, okay?
You could be happier.
[closing voice-over] We walk through these doors as interns, chips on our shoulders. Loners. Lesser rockstars on the verge of greatness. We're thrown into the deep end together. Told to save lives together. To save each other. We become family. And even when you really screw up, family is always there. Always on call. Womb to tomb. Ride or die.
S13 E3I Ain't No Miracle Worker
[opening voice-over] Every patient who gets bad news wants to be the exception. The one in a million. The miracle. But surgeons don't believe in miracles. We have to make them happen.
Marriage is like a bed and breakfast in Vermont, with sex.
Until you have kids.
And when I want the sex, I don't have to get out of bed and drive to the sex. I just roll right over.
Can you stop it?
Why would I want to stop it? Married sex is dirtier than I expected.
Not the sex, the bragging. You're flashing your money after going to the ATM. We get it. You're sex-rich. It is not polite to brag in front of people who are sex-poor. Some of us are barely making ends meet.
You ever have that dream?
What dream?
The miracle dream. I'd roll over in bed, and there she was, asking me to go make coffee. So real. Then I'd wake up.
No, never had that dream. [She leaves and comes back] A knock at the door.
Sorry?
He knocks at the door, says he forgot his keys, and he's sorry for being gone so long.
When we tell a family a patient has died, I'd prefer we be correct! It's a low, low bar for a physician.
[closing voice-over] Miracles aren't always huge. The fever breaks, the stitch holds, the bone heals. That's why they can be so hard to spot and why they can be such a pain in the ass. Don't get me wrong. Tiny miracles are great. A little miracle's a miracle. It just may not be enough to save us.
