S8 E4What Is It About Men

[voiceover] There are distinct differences, between male and female brains.

[voiceover] Female brains have a larger hippocampus...which usually makes them better at retention and memory.

[voiceover] Male brains have a bigger parietal cortex, which helps when fending off an attack.

[voiceover] Male brains confront challenges differently than female brains.

[voiceover] Women are hardwired to communicate with language. Detail. Empathy. Men, not so much.

[voiceover] It doesn't mean we're any less capable of emotion.

[voiceover] We can talk about our feelings. It's just that, most of the time, we'd really rather not.

Derek! You're trying to steal my guy. He's my guy. Avery go get in the car.

What? No.

Mark.

You've been moving in on him all week. You weren't even interested in him until you saw how much he meant to me. I don't take the time to teach anyone if I can help it.

Mark.

But I'm takin' the time with Avery because he's a quick learner and he can do a c-plasty better than I could at his level.

I can? [Mark turns to walk away]

Hey, hey. Don't do that. Don't just yell at me then walk away.

I'm not. It's just that Sofia likes it if I'm moving.

You guys talk. I'll take the baby.

Okay, careful. We had a scare this week. [hands Sofia to Owen] Thank you. Now, Avery go get in the car. Friends don't steal from each other.

It's not stealing if he asks to scrub in on my surgeries.

Oh, don't be a jackass.

Okay, look. I appreciate this, I do. But if I have to choose, I choose plastics. I mean, I really appreciate being able to take the lead on your neuro surgeries but I feel like--

[to Jackson] You usin' my boy here? To get more surgery? Nobody uses my boy. [Derek smiles, Jackson looks confused]

Okay, I get that you like to put your dirty clothes in my laundry because, frankly, if you didn't you'd never have any clean clothes. Fine. I will wash your dirty underpants. But you know what? I am not okay with washing your "skank of the week's" dirty underpants.

Actually those are Lexie's, thank you.

Oh, she w...

Oh yeah.

Okay, never mind. [Leaves]

Not Lexie's.

Nope. Lauren, third floor, radiology.

Oh, nice.

It's three days. We're gonna be fine. Bye mommies. Have fun at the conference mommies.

Bye-bye, baby boo...

Go.

Just one more kiss.

Go. Come on.

I'm gonna miss you so much.

Bye. See ya.

Bye.

It's just you and me kid. High five. High five. Dap. Blow it up.

[voiceover] People say 'be a man.' People say it all the time.

[voiceover] But what does that even mean?

[voiceover] Is it about strength?

[voiceover] Is it about sacrifice?

[voiceover] Is it about winning?

[voiceover] Maybe it's simpler than that.

[voiceover] You have to know when not to man up. Sometimes it takes a real man to set his ego aside, admit defeat, and simply start all over again.

S8 E5Love, Loss, and Legancy

[voiceover] The human body is designed to compensate for loss. It adapts, so it no longer needs the thing it can't have. But sometimes the loss is too great, and the body can't compensate on its own. That's when surgeons get involved.

Where are you going?

Um, to visit Molly for two days.

Oh, that's great.

Jackson arranged it. It was a surprise.

Oh.

What so you mean by that?

Nothing. Just oh.

'Cause it sounded like you meant, "Really, he arranged for you to visit your sister at the exact time his mother's coming into town? Guess he's not really that into you, otherwise, he'd want you to meet his mother like a normal person."

No. You had a mother. Jackson and I had surgeons who procreated. It's just a little complicated.

I-I-I shouldn't go, right?

No, I think it's sweet that he wants you to get out of the line of fire.

Congratulations, we have our winners.

Uh, he's (about Jackson) your son and you're the judge, isn't there some rule against that?

I don't play favorites, dear. Nepotism is for the weak.

That's what my birthday card has always said.

[voiceover] We're so hopeful at the beginning of things. It seems like there's only a world to be gained not lost. They say the inability to accept loss is a form of insanity, it's probably true. But sometimes, it's the only way to stay alive.

S8 E6Poker Face

[voiceover] As babies, we were easy. One cry meant you were hungry, another you were tired. It's only as adults that we become difficult. They start to hire feelings, put up walls. It gets to the point where we don't really know what anyone thinks or feels. Without meaning to, we become masters of disguise.

[after being berated by Derek]: Can you go have sex with him so he'll be nicer?

I told you, he's going to be hard on you until you learn all of his quirks.

They're not quirks. They're these scary, nitpicky rules just to drive me crazy. [Meredith chuckles] Like what is the deal with him needing 16 towels in the O.R. at all times?

[smugly] Well, if I give you all the answers, you'll never learn on your own.

You're just as mean as he is.

Homemade maple-ginger scones. Try.

Oh, no, no, no, really.

I just had a big lunch.

The scone's a very tough pastry to make. You have to be exact with the ingredients, the baking temperature––

[glances at Derek] Hey, how is the house coming?

Oh, we're working on the drywall now.

Really? All right.

I get it. I'm a bore. But Avery's doing all my surgeries, and I'm taking up cooking to keep my mind sharp for when the next big case rolls in.

[smirks] Yeah, you keep telling yourself that.

Hey! You bought pizza?

No! Pizza? I made a coq au vin!

[dumps pan into the trash; Arizona and Mark protest] Mark, I love you. I love how great you are with our daughter. I love that you and Arizona are friends, but you, you need to leave 'cause tonight I'm gonna eat pizza and drink beer in bed with my wife and tell her all about the neck I just built and then we're gonna have lots and lots of sex. Okay? We're great parents, but, we're more than just mommies and daddies. We are hot and we are sexy, and your new hobby? The hollandaise and the short ribs and the [mockingly] coq au vin? It's getting in the way of our sex lives. So, please. Start having sex again. Okay? But, not tonight. Cause tonight? You're babysitting.

[voiceover] It's not always easy to speak your mind, sometimes you need to be forced to do it. Sometimes, it's better to just keep things to yourself, play dumb, even when your whole body is aching to come clean. So you shut your mouth, keep your secret, and find other ways to keep yourself happy.
