ANYTHING BUT ORDINARY
PART I OF II
FADE IN
INT. – MEREDITH'S HOUSE - MORNING
Meredith wakes up to the sound of the alarm. Looking up at the ceiling she reaches over with a swipe and turns it off without diverting her eyes. She lays staring at the ceiling for a few seconds and then begins getting ready for work.
MEREDITH (V.O.)
Eventually…if you live long enough…everything in life begins to fall into a rhythm. We operate as if on remote control as the things that happen become more and more predictable.
She moves to the kitchen and pours herself a bowl of cereal which she eats standing over the sink while staring out the window as if deep in thought…then onward to the bathroom where she brushes her teeth staring into the mirror…turning to walk away expressionless.
Standing in the hallway outside the living room looking for her shoes…she walks over and picks them up, plopping down on the sofa to put them on and then gets up to leave, grabbing her coat and keys on the way out.
MEREDITH (V.O.)
From things that people do and say to the light eventually turning green after being red for exactly 30 seconds…to being caught by the same train on the way to work for the last 8 years yet you continue to take the same route.
INT. – MEREDITH'S CAR - MORNING
She sits in her car and watches the train go by.
MEREDITH (V.O.)
But there is comfort in routine…comfort in knowing what to expect. And then that thing you expect to happen happens and you continue to go through your day without really even noticing.
The guardrail goes up and she continues over the tracks on her way to work.
MEREDITH (V.O.)
Even the things that you find really annoying.
Meredith walks toward the hospital after exiting her car and enters the front door…hopping onto the elevator as the doors close behind her.
EXT. – SOMEWHERE UNKNOWN – DAWN
An explosion is heard followed by a burst of light brightening the entire sky.
There are flashes of a disaster and chaos ensues. It is early dawn so the scene is dark and it's difficult to make out the location. Initially there is silence followed by screaming as silhouettes of people can be seen against the sky lit with fire running toward the location of the explosion.
INT. – SGH LOCKER ROOM - MORNING
Meredith and Cristina are in the locker room getting ready for rounds and Meredith questions Cristina. "Do you ever think about how far we've come and how much we've learned since our first year?"
She looks at Cristina and hesitates before continuing.
"Have you ever thought…have you ever wondered if you are happy? I mean, there are degrees of happiness and sometimes I wonder if there is even such a thing as happiness."
"I don't know", Cristina replies. "Maybe just not being unhappy is good enough."
Meredith continues…"Back when we first started we were all so sure of what we wanted…but now…if you could have somehow seen the future and chosen your life and what it would be like right now…do you think it would be different than it actually turned out and if you knew you would end up not necessarily happy but just not…unhappy, would you still have wanted the same things?"
Cristina pauses and looks at Meredith puzzled. She turns back and continues to get ready for work, responding, "I look at it this way…things could be worse."
Alex walks in and Cristina throws a glance in Meredith's direction.
Alex notices Cristina's glance and questions what they were talking about…certain it must have had something to do with him.
BACK TO EXT. – SOMEWHERE UNKNOWN – DAWN
There continues to be flashes of a scene of destruction yet the news reports back at SGH are quiet. People are screaming over bodies of children scattered everywhere. We watch the destruction as it unfolds through the eyes of an individual observing the scene…breathing loudly…running toward the chaos unable to catch their breath. They stop and watch…frozen in their steps.
INT. – SGH LOCKER ROOM - MORNING
Meredith looks to Alex. "Alex, are you happy?"
"I'm not unhappy", he responds.
"So, is this what you expected when you first got into medicine? I mean, if you could go back and change anything knowing that you may not be standing here right now…would you?"
Alex continues to get ready for work. "That depends" he says.
Unrelenting, Meredith asks… "On what?"
Alex thinks for a moment and then looks over at Izzie's old locker and decides not to go there. Instead he responds with "I don't know. It's way too early in the morning to be answering questions about life. Catch me after I have a cup of coffee...or two or three."
He gets up and leaves the room.
Confused by Meredith's behavior, Cristina asks what has gotten into her today. Meredith doesn't respond…seemingly lost in thought.
They both get up and leave the room to begin rounds.
BACK TO EXT. – SOMEWHERE UNKNOWN – DAWN
Back at the scene of destruction, the lone person stands and watches as events unfold and suddenly turns and walks away in shock as a woman screams for them to stay and help. At first they are walking and then begin to run as they pass others that are running in the opposite direction toward the destruction. They continue running…faster and faster until in the darkness and confusion they trip over something and fall to the ground.
INT. – SGH ADMISSIONS - MORNING
At the hospital, a woman is admitted after having been beaten. Brought in by her husband, they initially tell the staff that she was beaten by an intruder in their home yet they never called the police to report it because they said the person got away before they could see him and there wasn't time due to the woman's injuries. As the situation unfolds it turns out to be a case of domestic violence. The woman is pregnant with their first child and they have been married for two years. She doesn't lose the baby but she has to decide whether to press charges and whether to stay with him. It's not the first time she's been abused but she has learned to live with it…almost relieved when it happens because she knows it will be months before his guilt allows it to happen again.
BACK TO EXT. – SOMEWHERE UNKNOWN – DAWN
The scene flashes back to the unfolding chaos as the person is still in shock and disoriented from the fall. The background noises get progressively louder and the screaming continues…intensified by the ambulance and fire truck sirens as they approach and then pass by. The person turns and watches the vehicles go by and the sound of the sirens jolt them back into full consciousness. They stand up and face the chaos and slowly begin walking back toward the destruction. After a few steps they begin to run.
INT. – SGH ADMISSIONS - MORNING
Back at Seattle Grace, a 21 yr old patient presents with a need for minor surgery complicated by schizophrenia and walking corpse disorder. The staff keeps losing him as he searches the hospital for something he lost which turns out to be his soul. Attempts to restrain the patient are met with such an adverse reaction that they end up having to watch him around the clock as opposed to restraint to ensure he doesn't wander off or follow him if he does to make sure he doesn't hurt himself. Through his mental illness he has created an alternative reality. He has friends he talks to that only he can see and hear, a great job and is very wealthy. He denies he is sick and refuses to accept it...certain that the doctors and social workers are all keeping him trapped in the situation to steal his money and business ideas. He believes that once he finds his soul that everything will start to make sense again and that everyone will realize he is not sick and will let him go so he can live his life.
BACK TO EXT. – SOMEWHERE UNKNOWN – DAWN
The person reaches the scene of destruction and begins walking frantically past the bodies as if looking for someone they know. The atmosphere is frenzied as bodies are being carried out of the rubble and laid out on the ground. Helicopters begin arriving to transport the most severely injured. The person appears to find a child they know and runs over to him to assess their injuries. Trauma teams continue to arrive to load the children into the waiting ambulances and helicopters and the person picks up the small child and carries them over to a waiting helicopter crawling in behind. The helicopter is full and as the pilot turns to assess their readiness, the person gives the thumbs up and they get ready to depart.
INT. – SGH ADMISSIONS - MORNING
A child is admitted having been awake nearly 24 hours a day, and his condition has baffled his parents and doctors for years who have taken shifts watching the boy to determine the cause of his sleeplessness. Finally the child is diagnosed with a rare condition called chiari malformation where the brain is literally squeezed into the spinal column (copied from web). The intrusion is so minute it has been missed in several prior tests which were not sensitive enough to see it and also if you didn't know what you were looking for it would easily be missed. The child is only ten but his illness has forced him to mature early in addition to the fact that getting to stay up later meant he spent more time around adults having adult conversations.
As the patients are cared for, tested, diagnosed, and set up for any necessary procedures - Each one of the staff members takes turns staying up with the boy to keep him company.
The schizophrenic patient that is searching for his soul wanders into the same room with the small boy and is eventually relocated to the empty bed next to him so he can be monitored around the clock as well. Meredith, Cristina, and Alex each take a shift and end up having a conversation with the boy that touches them in some way or provides some sort of enlightenment including the schizophrenic patient who up until that point had yet to accept his illness due to a lack of awareness. Each conversation that takes place results in an understanding of the fact that life to the person that is living it is normal, expected, and ordinary even though when you look at it from the outside it is anything but ordinary.
INT. – SGH - AFTERNOON
Meredith is walking through the hospital and stops outside the boy's room. He is sleeping.
MEREDITH (V.O.)
What is normal? Everyone's idea of ordinary is different depending on the circumstances. Whether we are coming or going, happy or sad, whether it's quiet or chaos…it's just someone's ordinary day. It gets to the point where nothing surprises you anymore. Even the patients and procedures we see each day…no matter how strange or what you take away from it. The unexpected becomes expected and that becomes your normal…and if you accept it as normal, there can be comfort in that.
BACK TO INT. – HELICOPTER – MORNING
The person looks down upon a small boy. A hand reaches out to comfort him and the boy looks up and slowly reaches for the hand. He then closes his eyes but doesn't let go.
The helicopter takes off.
PART II
FADE IN
INT. – MEREDITH'S HOUSE - MORNING
Meredith once again wakes up to the sound of the alarm…and just like every day she proceeds to get ready for work.
MEREDITH (V.O.)
Faith can be a difficult concept for some people…believing in something even though you have no proof…like believing in God or an afterlife. Being a doctor you have to have faith or you would never be able to get through the day…all the death, destruction and sadness.
Meredith stands in the hallway to the living room staring ahead…eventually she enters the room and grabs her shoes sitting down on the sofa to put them on.
MEREDITH (V.O.)
You have to have faith. You have to believe in something good…that things will turn out in the end no matter how impossible. That there's a light at the end of the tunnel.
INT. – MEREDITH'S CAR - MORNING
She watches the lights flash as the train goes by.
BACK TO INT. – HELICOPTER - MORNING
Several small children are inside the helicopter. Through the window the person watches as the helicopter approaches the hospital in the distance.
INT. – SGH - MORNING
Everyone's beepers begin to sound simultaneously. The news reports a suicide bomber...at an orphanage…children buried in the rubble, injured and killed in staggering numbers.
Owen takes charge. "Listen up everyone. Patients will be arriving in the next few minutes. Those being flown to SGH are some of the most severely injured so be prepared for anything. We can expect ten to fifteen admissions in the next hour."
BACK TO INT. – HELICOPTER - MORNING
Inside the helicopter, the person looks down at the small boy below him. A hand reaches out again to comfort him although he is now unconscious.
The helicopter approaches the hospital and lands but the staff is still on their way up to the roof so no one is there to assist them at first. It is dark and the wind is blowing furiously only made worse by the helicopters propeller.
The person inside the helicopter grabs the door and pulls it back quickly...seeing no one they grab the small boy and scoop him into their arms and begin running towards the building. Staff begins arriving, running through the doors and onto the roof…a team led by Callie. The individual carrying the small child and Callie can't see each other clearly due to the windy conditions and the frantic pace of movement. Blinded by the wind they only see each other briefly before they brush by as they pass…nearly colliding. Callie turns to make sure the person has not fallen in the near collision…asking if they are ok.
Due to the commotion her words fall on deaf ears as the person continues on. She watches them walk away and then turns back to continue to the helicopter suddenly stopping dead in her tracks as if frozen.
The staff continues to arrive on the roof bringing gurneys with them. The person carrying the child lays them on a gurney and helps to secure them…standing and watching as they are taken away.
They turn back and see several people taking care of the other children and then turn to follow the gurney inside to the ER.
Callie is still unable to move, facing in the opposite direction, still in shock as others run by her to help the remaining children. One of the other staff members runs into her, jolting her out of the trance. She turns slowly to look behind her and sees the person assisting the small child enter the building and watching as they move out of sight.
INT. – SGH ER - MORNING
Inside the ER everyone is arriving and preparing for the incoming wounded. Meredith, Cristina and Owen, Miranda and Alex are all inside. The atmosphere is anxious as the news plays in the background regarding the number of casualties and wounded.
The person following the child on the gurney continues to walk behind them as they are pulled onto the elevator with the attending staff. The person hesitates at first and then steps onto the elevator behind the gurney. As they descend, the person looks around at the faces of those that surround the gurney. The faces give a reassuring smile or a nod. The elevator stops on the main floor outside the ER as the child is pulled out of the elevator and toward the door to the ER. The person follows behind but stops as they enter and can only watch as the doors swing open…closed and then open again.
As the door swings back, Cristina glances up anxious to grab the first patient and briefly sees the person on the other side of the door. With her mouth open she moves slowly toward the door and stares in disbelief as the gurney passes her by and instead Meredith begins to assess the patient's injuries. Realizing who it is Cristina quickly covers her mouth as if to stifle a scream. No one else can see what she sees and Owen…standing next to her catches her as she stumbles backward into him.
Meredith begins working on the first child and in the confusion doesn't notice Cristina's reaction.
Miranda, only seeing Cristina stumble into Owen is irritated by her clumsiness and moves toward the door to assist the incoming patients. "Yang, what is wrong with you? Get with it or move out of the way."
As Miranda pushes the door open she looks up and suddenly begins to sob uncontrollably, unable to speak.
Alex sees Miranda's response, "What the hell?"
He begins to move toward the door but Owen gets there first. When the door swings back Owen stops for a second blocking Alex and then runs towards the person throwing his arms around them making it difficult to see who it is. This goes on for several seconds which seems like minutes to Alex as he tries to maneuver around Owen. Alex once again looks to Miranda…"Who is it?" he asks.
Neither Miranda nor Cristina can answer. Owen picks up the person and begins to laugh twirling them around and around and stops with their back facing Alex. Owen, placing his hands on both sides of the person face, kisses them and then hugs them again. As he lets go the person turns to face the others…and a ghost from the past breaks the silence as George asks…"Where's Izzie?"
Everyone stares in disbelief as George once again asks…"Is Izzie here?"
A huge smile crosses Alex's face as he moves toward George with his arms outstretched calling out his old friend and colleague…"O'Malley!"
Alex throws his arms around George to give him a big hug.
Meredith, having gotten her patient off to the CT scan sees the commotion for the first time and runs to Cristina who is still unable to talk and continues to stumble as she tries to remain upright.
Concerned…Meredith inquires after Cristina…"What is going on? Cristina, are you ok?"
Cristina gestures toward the door. Meredith looks over her shoulder. Everything seems to be moving in slow motion as she sees George standing outside the ER. While trying to help Cristina, she falls to the ground almost taking Cristina with her.
George runs to Meredith and reaches out his hand to help her up. She calls out his name unable to believe that it's really him. George is only concerned that she's ok.
"It is you. Where…how…?" she asks.
George responds with a readied apology…"I know…I should have said goodbye." He looks up at everyone. "I should have called. I'm so sorry."
A small voice is heard from behind him as he turns to find Callie staring at him. George? She questions…but is at a loss for words.
Unable to understand why everyone is acting so strange George says to the group… "Gees. You guys are all acting like you've seen a ghost."
Meredith looks to Cristina. George doesn't realize they are all looking at a ghost….
Bailey has composed herself enough to speak but is still visibly upset and begins to scold George.
"George O'Malley!" she says.
Thinking she is going to give him a hug George walks over to Miranda with his arms outstretched. "Miranda Bailey…" he says playfully.
Miranda slaps his arms away and continues with the smackdown. "George O'Malley, where the HELL have you been? Forget that! Why the HELL didn't you call? I don't know who you think you are and that you don't have an obligation to anyone but yourself but you had…have an obligation to these people here to call and let me…us know where you are and if you are ok. Selfish, selfish, selfish. Don't ever…EVER do that again." Then she retreats. "Now come here" she says.
George is tongue tied and can't figure out why everyone is so upset and reluctantly moves towards Bailey not sure what to expect. She gives him a hug.
More children begin to arrive and everyone is forced to get over the shock of seeing George to focus on the crisis.
Owen tries to bring order back to the room. "Everyone! I need you to gather yourselves and get moving."
He places a hand on George's shoulder and asks if he' like to help out.
George responds enthusiastically…"Sure! Just tell me what you want me to do."
As the staff attends to the incoming patients George attempts to talk to Alex as he passes by.
"Hey Alex…where's Izzie?" He enquires.
"Izzie is…I'll talk to you about it later."
George nods ok but is visibly unsettled as he watches Alex walk away.
INT. – SGH LOCKER ROOM – LATE AFTERNOON
Later that day…after all patients have been cared for George sneaks out to look for Izzie. He goes to the locker room and sees her locker is empty and becomes upset. He slams the door closed and slams his fists against it. He then turns and kicks over the bench before running out of the room.
Meredith looks around for George. "Where's George? He was really here wasn't he?"
"I think I know where he is" Alex says. "Come on."
Meredith and Cristina follow Alex to the locker room where they see Izzie's old locker hanging open and the bench overturned. Alex's turns and walks away with Meredith and Cristina in tow to the old back hallway where they used to hang out as interns.
INT. – SGH BACK HALLWAY – LATE AFTERNOON
As Alex, Meredith, and Cristina round the corner, George is pacing back and forth scolding himself. He turns and sees the others arrive and sits down hard on one of the gurneys. "Where is Izzie…and don't tell me she's dead. She's dead isn't she? I should have come back that day instead of just leaving. I should have come back and said goodbye. I never said goodbye to her and I knew she was sick. What kind of a friend just leaves without saying goodbye."
Alex walks over and sits down next to George. "Relax. She's not dead. She survived. She beat the cancer. She's just taking some time to figure things out is all. She'll be back."
"She's ok?" George says with relief.
Meredith is annoyed by George's preoccupation with finding Izzie and interrupts the conversation. "GEORGE! Why didn't you call? We all thought you were dead."
George looks at everyone with a curious glance. "Dead? Why would you all think I was dead? You knew I was leaving that day. Wait! You knew I was leaving right?"
Cristina…grabbing a snack someone left on the gurney, opens it and starts eating, hopping up on the gurney next to Alex. "Yeah, yeah…we all knew you were leaving. Now tell us why the hell you never called. Bailey was right…selfish, selfish, selfish."
"I couldn't. You wouldn't understand."
"How do you know that?" Meredith says. "You never gave us a chance to understand because you left without saying goodbye AND THEN NEVER CALLED!"
George sits quiet at first and then he begins to explain what happened. "That day I left for Iraq. I just had an argument with someone."
Alex interrupts… "Did you argue with Izzie? Is that why you are so upset?"
"No…no, it was someone else. I was…seeing someone…but didn't tell anyone."
Alex tries to lighten the mood. "Was she ugly…or fat? Dude, was she fat?"
Meredith hits Alex in the arm.
"What? At least I didn't say it was a dude" Alex says with a smirk.
George looks at them and then looks down covering his face with his hands. He jumps down off the gurney and walks a few paces away. Leaning up against the wall and facing them he just stands there.
Meredith, noticing the expression on George's face tries to be comforting. "Oh George."
"I spent so many years denying the way I felt and hiding who I was to you, and Callie, and Izzie. Everybody! After I left Callie and started seeing Izzie and it was such a disaster…I knew I couldn't do it anymore. I couldn't keep lying to myself. One night I just couldn't face going home so I went to Joe's Bar instead."
FLASHBACK JOE'S BAR – NIGHT
George is sitting at the bar having a conversation with a guy he met while Joe looks on.
"So, what do you do?" He asks.
"Me?" George says. "I'm a doctor."
"Wow! A doctor!"
"No, no. Don't be too impressed. My first year I almost killed a guy while doing a basic procedure."
"Oh no…Really?"
"Yeah…an appendectomy. They called me 007 my entire first year."
The guy starts laughing and then looks to George. "So, can I buy you a drink?"
George hesitates at first… "Sure…"
"How about a martini? Shaken…not stirred?"
He laughs again as George smiles and looks down shaking his head. "My name is Jason by the way."
"George" he says and reaches over to shake his hand.
Joe is watching and walks away with a smile on his face to make George a drink.
FLASHBACK SGH
Meredith is in the room with the patient named John Doe who was hit by a bus trying to save a woman as he writes 007 on her hand.
BACK TO PRESENT DAY INT. - SGH BACK HALLWAY – AFTERNOON
"We saw each other on and off for months. I didn't tell anyone. I wouldn't let him tell anyone. I especially couldn't bring myself to tell my Mom and brothers. I couldn't bear to see their reaction. The news would kill them. I was someone they looked up to after Dad died. Someone they depended on. I didn't want that job…but it was better than the way they used to look at me. I couldn't bear to go back to that place of humiliation…once again becoming the brother that was a little different…the brother that every Thanksgiving didn't want to shoot the turkey."
FLASHBACK - INT. TATTOO PARLOR – DAY
George sits off to the side watching as his guy gets a tattoo.
"I asked him to marry me and he said yes but it seems something always comes up. Some reason to put it off again" Jason teases.
"You know my job keeps me really busy. It's just not a good time right now."
"I have a feeling it's never going to be a good time." Jason says as he looks to the tattoo artist. "So I'm getting a tattoo to match his birthmark. That way we will be tied together forever…even though there's a tattoo on my right hand instead of a ring on my left."
The guy from the tattoo parlor is less than interested. "Awww. That's really sweet. Maybe you should stop talking lest I make a mistake."
George laughs. "Mistake? How hard can it be? It looks like the state of Texas."
"Please don't piss him off" Jason says. "Between the two of us I'm not the surgeon but I also don't want to lose a finger."
The guy from the tattoo parlor looks to George. "You gettin' one too?"
George looks around at the unsanitary condition of the room. "No…no thanks."
Jason laughs. "See. No commitment."
"What commitment?" George snaps back. "It's the size of pencil eraser."
"If it's not such a big deal then you get one too?"
George once again looks around the room. "No…no thanks."
FLASHBACK INT SGH OUTSIDE JOHN DOE'S ROOM - DAY
Callie looks for the birthmark on the right hand of John Doe…a freckle shaped like the state of Texas.
FLASHBACK INT. – JASON'S APARTMENT – DAY
"Is that my clothes?" George says as he sees Jason walking toward him.
"You knew when I started dating you I was only doing it so I could double my wardrobe."
"Well, those pants are too short for you."
"Only a little…plus" Jason continues, "it makes me feel closer to you when you're not here…which is all the time."
George rolls his eyes. "You're such a girl."
FLASHBACK INT. - SGH OUTSIDE JOHN DOE'S ROOM
Little Grey pointing out that John Doe can't be George because he's too tall.
FLASHBACK - INT. JASON'S APARTMENT - DAY
George and Jason are arguing. George was leaving for Iraq and he didn't want him to go. He was always running away, and leaving to go to Iraq was just his way of running away again. They had been seeing each other for months and were in love yet George wasn't ready to accept it.
BACK TO INT. – SGH BACK HALLWAY - EVENING
"That day I was on my way to the hospital to say goodbye. But after we argued I left and he followed me. So instead of going to the hospital, I just left for Iraq. I had to go even though I knew I was only just running away from the way I felt and the person I loved because I was so used to fighting it. I just couldn't stop fighting it. But after I left…the only person I called while I was gone…the reason I left…wouldn't answer or return my calls…and when his phone stopped ringing, I knew I couldn't come back."
"So I stayed in Iraq and met as many people as I could to replace everyone I lost..my friends, my family and someone that I loved for the first time in my life..really loved. I met a lot of people and everyone was so nice but they were all just replacements."
"Then this one day I was passing by an orphanage and a bunch of kids were playing baseball. There was this one kid that reminded me of myself. His parents had been killed in the war and he didn't have anyone either so we kind of adopted each other. After that we just watched out for each other like brothers and he became my family."
"When I heard the explosion and saw the destruction and bodies being carried out of the building, I couldn't bear the thought of losing someone else that I let myself get close to. So I started to run away again…but I knew I couldn't leave him. He didn't have anyone watching out for him so I couldn't just leave him there alone…and I went back."
Meredith interrupts. "If that's the boy that came into the ER first he is critical but stable. He was actually quite lucky based on the number of casualties but he should be fine."
George is visibly relieved and reaches for Meredith's hand. "Thank you."
"So Bambi, are you back for good?"
George smiles at first when Cristina calls him Bambi and then shakes his head…getting serious. "There's so much destruction. So much pain it becomes almost unbearable. The people there have lived with that kind of pain for years. To them the pain is normal to the point where it's as if they've lost the ability to feel or it takes something really extreme like a suicide bomber at an orphanage to make them realize what they're going through is NOT normal. Or maybe they'll never realize it. No matter how hard it is to accept who I am it was ten times harder to see all that destruction. I never want that to become my normal.
As they listen to George's story they all begin to realize that the person that died that day that they thought was George...the person they had the funeral for...was the guy George had been seeing. In the silence Alex and Cristina look to Meredith.
Meredith breaths a sigh and begins to explain. "George…"
George breaks down as she tells him and the group surrounds him in a hug.
INT. MEREDITH'S BEDROOM - DAWN
Meredith wakes up in bed to the alarm. She stares up at the ceiling and then sits up quickly as if she has just awoken from a dream. She gets out of bed and gets ready for work. Walking down the upstairs hallway and then down the steps she stands outside of the living room completely still.
MEREDITH (V.O.)
Faith is a funny thing. If you can believe in things you can't see…if you can believe in love and friendship…or that miracles do happen…
She walks into the room and bends down to grab her shoes plopping down on the sofa to put them on.
MEREDITH (V.O.)
Then why is it so hard to believe those things you can see…The things that are right in front of you.
"Hey!"
Meredith laughs as she looks down at George who was sleeping on the couch. "Welcome home George."
