Grey's Anatomy · Season 13
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?
[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?
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.
[closing voice-over] I didn't mean to hurt you. That's the last thing I'd ever want, because I care about you more than anything. So no matter how mad you are, how much you want to shut me out, know this: you are my sister, whether you like it or not, and I'm not going anywhere.
[opening voice-over] Our skulls cushion our brains. Our rib cage guards our hearts. The body is built to protect our most vulnerable parts. At least that's how it's supposed to work.
Hey, it's me, do you want a giant tumor?
Why would I want that?
It's the one from my wall that Derek drew. I thought you might like it. It's in the hall.
Is she cleaning?
At 3:30?
The scary thing isn't dying. The scary thing is surviving and accepting that you actually have a life to live. Don't you want to stick around and live it?
[closing voice-over] The body adapts. It protects itself. But it can't close off completely or we're not really living, right? So we leave the door open just a little, hoping like hell it's worth the risk.
[opening voice-over] There are moments when all of the stars align. When everything seems as it should be. Your life seems to have sorted itself out. It's not like all our problems go away. It's just the problems are suddenly manageable. You feel so good you wonder if it's real. And if I've learned anything I can tell you it is. It's very real but it will not last.
