Grey's Anatomy Episode
FADE IN:
INT. MEREDITH'S HOUSE -- MORNING
Meredith is scrambling around her house getting dress and packing up for work. She picks up a letter sitting on her desk in her room which has a return address from Florida. Meredith stares at it for a second then throws it in her backpack and continues to get ready for work.
MEREDITH V.O.
There's an old saying that goes, "you never know what you have until you've lost it."...or maybe it's you never knew what you had until you've lost it. Doesn't matter. Either way it's the truth. Life comes at you fast and if you don't stop to smell the roses you could miss out on some of its great moments. In a split second your life could change right before your eyes, and everything and everyone that matters could never be the same again. Me, I would try to stop to enjoy the world around me...if I had the time.
Meredith walks into her kitchen and begins to make herself breakfast. Izzie enters the kitchen in a panic.
IZZIE
Meredith have you seen my favorite blue scrubs?
MEREDITH
Aren't they all the same?
IZZIE
No! These have a knot in the drawstring of the pants at the perfect spot so I never have to tie them or untie them!
MEREDITH
I haven't seen them. George did laundry this week. Ask him.
IZZIE
He told me to ask you! Damn it!
MEREDITH V.O.
Like I said, you never know what you had until you've lost it.
Meredith reaches into the fridge and grabs a gallon of milk but when she pours it nothing comes out.
MEREDITH V.O. (CONT'D)
Unless, of course, you have nothing to lose.
MEREDITH
Izzie! George! Come on! We're going to grab breakfast on the way! Guys?
Meredith walks down the hall to George's room where Izzie is yelling at George.
IZZIE
George, those are my pants! Give them back to me.
GEORGE
Izzie, these are my scrubs. I tie my pants in knots too.
IZZIE
You do not. You tie yours in bows, I've seen you.
GEORGE
I'm not changing.
IZZIE
Don't make me pull them off of you!
GEORGE
You're gonna have to buy me dinner first.
MEREDITH
Come on, guys, we're gonna be late.
IZZIE
We have twenty minutes.
MEREDITH
We're out of good food. We have to grab breakfast on the way.
IZZIE
I'm not hungry.
GEORGE
Me neither.
MEREDITH
I'll buy you pancakes from McDonalds.
Izzie and George mentally consider Meredith's offer and accept.
IZZIE
Fine.
Meredith and Izzie exit George's room and George follows.
GEORGE
I get a cheese danish too.
CUT TO:
INT. SEATTLE GRACE HOSPITAL LOCKER ROOM -- LATER
Izzie, Meredith, George, Alex, and Cristina are all standing around the locker room getting ready for the day ahead of them.
GEORGE
Are you sure that's what they said? A new intern?
CRISTINA
I'm always sure.
MEREDITH
It doesn't make any sense. Why would an intern be starting in the middle of the year?
Alex smirks.
ALEX
She probably has connections. And by connections I mean...
IZZIE, MEREDITH, GEORGE AND CRISTINA
We know what you mean.
Bailey enters.
BAILEY
Let's go all. We've got rounds to do.
Merdith, Izzie, Alex and George all leave the locker room. Cristina catches up with Bailey and walks with her.
CRISTINA
Dr. Bailey?
BAILEY
What?
CRISTINA
Um, I just want you to know that I'm thrilled about the new intern.
BAILEY
Really?
CRISTINA
Yes. Really. And even though she some how twiddled her way into starting this program mid-year I won't hold that against her.
BAILEY
Is that so?
CRISTINA
Yes. I'm sure she's well qualified and will make an excellent addition here. Where did she go? Harvard? Case Western?
BAILEY
Moreland High School.
CRISTINA
High School?
A seventeen-year-old girl, Dana, walks towards Bailey and Cristina and holds out her hand for a handshake from Bailey.
DANA
Miranda?
BAILEY
You must be...
DANA
Dana, the senior projects intern.
Bailey and Dana shake hands and we cut to Cristina's shocked face.
CRISTINA
She gets to call you Miranda?
BAILEY
Nice to meet you, Dana. This is my intern...
CRISTINA
Doctor Yang.
A smile grows across Dana's perky young face.
DANA
The Dr. Yang. The creator of the Yang method?
CRISTINA
No. That's not me.
DANA
But you're related to the creator?
CRISTINA
No.
DANA
Really?
CRISTINA
Really.
DANA
Are you sure?
CRISTINA
I'm always sure.
BAILEY
Dr. Yang will actually be taking you around this morning.
CRISTINA
I will?
BAILEY
Yes. You will.
Bailey turns to Dana. Bailey looks to Cristina when she says "kindly."
BAILEY (CONT'D)
Dr. Yang will kindly answer all of your questions while I'm up in surgery.
CRISTINA
I don't get to scrub in on the appendectomy?
BAILEY
You can scrub in after you show our guest around.
Bailey begins to walk away.
CRISTINA
But...I didn't invite her.
Cristina looks down at Dana's cheerful face.
CRISTINA (CONT'D)
Hi.
CUT TO:
INT. ADDISON AND DEREK'S TRAILER -- MORNING
Addison and Derek are sleeping in bed when their alarm clock goes off blaring the weather forecast.
WEATHERMAN #1
High today 65 low 36. Chance of rain up to 75 so bring those umbrellas...
WEATHERMAN #2
Or a poncho.
Addison tries to turn off the alarm clock but misses the button.
WEATHERMAN #1
Poncho's are good.
WEATHERMAN #2
Or a rain coat.
WEATHERMAN #1
Those too.
WEATHERMAN #1 (CONT'D)
Or a sombrero.
WEATHERMAN #2
A sombrero? In Seattle?
Addison wacks the alarm clock and it turns off. Addison begins to stretch as Derek remains still. Addison lightly hits Derek's shoulder.
ADDISON
Come on, Derek, we have to get up.
DEREK
I'm not going to work today.
ADDISON
You have to go.
DEREK
I'll go in later. I just want to sleep.
Addison stands up and begins to brush her hair.
ADDISON
Come on. We just have to get through our shifts then we're on vacation for a whole week.
DEREK
Let's just call in sick and leave for the city early.
ADDISON
You know we can't do that.
DEREK
Why not?
Addison pulls the covers off of the bed.
ADDISON
Get dressed. You're gonna make us late again.
DEREK
Late? It's not even light out yet.
Addison opens the blinds and sunlight pours in.
ADDISON
I beg to differ.
Derek sits up.
DEREK
It's just a four-hour shift. They won't miss us.
ADDISON
Maybe something exciting will happen. You don't want to miss that.
Derek begins to collect the covers and roll back over to fall asleep.
DEREK
Yes I do.
Addison looks at Derek in frustration and grabs her hair blow dryer. She holds it up to Derek's ear and turns it on. Derek jumps up.
DEREK (CONT'D)
Addison!
ADDISON
We're leaving in five minutes. Move it.
EXT. SEATTLE GRACE HOSPITAL -- LATER
Merdith, Alex, and George are all suiting up for a trauma in the ambulance bay. Izzie exits the hospital and stands with them as she puts her hair up in a pony tail.
IZZIE
What's coming in?
MEREDITH
Four MVA's.
ALEX
Two flat-lined at the site.
IZZIE (Frustrated)
Why are people out driving this early anyways.
The ambulance drives into the bay and stops. Meredith, Izzie, George and Alex walk towards the ambulance.
GEORGE
We were out driving this early.
CUT TO:
INT. SEATTLE GRACE HOSPITAL -- MOMENTS LATER
The interns are rolling in three gurneys. Izzie is rolling in a gurney holding a teenage boy, LOGAN. Meredith is rolling in a gurney with a man in his forties, Alex is rolling in a gurney with a woman in her forties. Everyone is shuffling around the hospital.
MEREDITH
Let's take him to trauma two.
IZZIE
We've got a sixteen-year-old male found unconscious.
ALEX
Forty-six-year-old female driver of the car hit.
We scan past all the patients and interns to see Cristina giving Dana a tour. She is showing Dana the front desk.
CRISTINA
And here we are back at the front desk. Any questions?
DANA
Yeah, how do you guys...?
Cristina notices the multitude of interesting cases coming in.
CRISTINA
Holy crap! I leave for ten minutes and I miss all the good cases. Dana?
DANA
Yeah.
CRISTINA
Do you know how to use a computer?
DANA
Of course.
CRISTINA
Good.
Cristina pushes Dana into a desk chair.
CRISTINA (CONT'D)
Use it. I'll be back later.
DANA
But what should I do?
CRISTINA
I don't know chat online with your friends.
DANA
Can I play solitaire?
CRISTINA
What you don't have any friends?
DANA
I do. I just...
CRISTINA
Knock yourself out.
Cristina begins putting on gloves from her pocket and heads off to go steal some interesting cases.
CUT TO:
INT. SEATTLE GRACE HOSPITAL -- MOMENTS LATER
Meredith is pronouncing her patient dead.
CRISTINA
What can I do?
MEREDITH
Nothing. Time of death. 6:09.
CRISTINA
You lossed him already?
MEREDITH
He was gone when he came in.
CRISTINA
Damn it.
Izzie enters.
IZZIE
Is this the driver of the other car?
MEREDITH
Yeah.
IZZIE
Were there any survivors from that vehicle?
MEREDITH
Their little girl. She's only looked about ten or eleven.
Izzie looks at the patient and her eyes widen.
IZZIE
Oh my god.
CRISTINA
What?
IZZIE
Its, its Mr. Carson.
CRISTINA
You know him?
Izzie looks directly at the Meredith.
IZZIE
Where's the daughter?
THEME SONG
INT. SEATTLE GRACE HOSPITAL -- MORNING
We are standing in the hallway outside of a trauma room. Bailey is walking and Alex runs to catch up to her.
ALEX
Dr. Bailey?
BAILEY
What do you want?
ALEX
Tests cam back positive on the teenager from the crash.
Alex hands Bailey Logan's chart. Bailey begins to flip through the pages.
BAILEY
Who?
ALEX
The sixteen-year-old that caused the accident that killed two people.
Bailey continues to look at Logan's chart.
BAILEY
Unbelievable.
Bailey entrees Logan's room.
We now see a 16-year-old boy, LOGAN MATTHISON, sitting in bed. Bailey enters very coldly. Alex walks next to Bailey.
LOGAN
Are they okay? The family I hit?
Bailey holds up her finger in front of his eyes.
BAILEY
Follow my finger.
Logan follows it with his eyes.
LOGAN
I don't know how it happened. I'm a very careful driver. I, I even scored a perfect on my exam. My Dad said I was a natural driver.
BAILEY
Hold out your arms and close your eyes.
Logan holds out his arms.
LOGAN
He says it's cause of all those race car video games I used to play.
BAILEY
You can open your eyes and put your arms down now.
Bailey begins to write on Logan's chart.
LOGAN
Did you call him? My Dad?
BAILEY
No.
Logan sighs of relief.
BAILEY (CONT'D)
You worried about him finding out about the crash? Or your huffing?
LOGAN
You know about that?
BAILEY
It's kinda hard to hide that kind of thing from a drug test.
LOGAN
Look, I don't do it all the time. Just on the weekends and stuff to relax.
ALEX
It's Monday morning.
Logan looks disappointed in himself.
LOGAN
It was a really tough week.
BAILEY
I see.
Logan looks down, not sure what to say.
LOGAN
Look, um, is my aunt here? She works at this hospital.
BAILEY
Who's your aunt?
LOGAN
Addie Montgomery...or Shephard. I'm not sure what she goes by now. It's kind of hard to keep track.
ALEX
Addison is your aunt?
LOGAN
You know her?
ALEX
Yeah.
BAILEY
She's quite popular around here.
LOGAN
Could you get her for me?
BAILEY
I'll see if she's around.
LOGAN
Thanks.
CUT TO:
INT. SEATTLE GRACE HOSPITAL -- LATER
We are back watching Dana as she sits at the front desk fiddling with the computer. She is wearing an Ipod. Bailey exits Logan's room and walks towards her.
BAILEY
Dana? Where's Dr. Yang?
Dana takes off her earphones.
DANA
What?
BAILEY
Dr. Yang. Where is she?
DANA
I don't know. She left me.
BAILEY
I can see that. Where did she go?
DANA
She ran off to go claim some interesting cases or something.
BAILEY
Oh she did?
DANA
Yeah. She didn't seem all that interested in me. No offense but she's not exactly a people person.
BAILEY
No she most certainly is not.
DANA
Want me to page her? I think I figured out the phones. I just press this button.
Dana begins to fiddle with the phone. Dana holds the phone up to her ear. But Bailey stops her.
BAILEY
No. Wait here. I'll go get her.
DANA
Do you want me to come?
BAILEY
No. Wait here.
BAILEY (CONT'D)
(mumbling)
Darn interns can't trust them with anything.
Bailey begins to walk away.
DANA
Tough crowd.
We can here a voice coming from the phone.
VOICE
Hello? Is anybody there?
DANA
Hello?
VOICE
Hi. Who's this?
DANA
This is Dana. Who's this?
CUT TO:
INT. SEATTLE GRACE HOSPITAL -- MOMENTS LATER
Derek and Addison are walking into the hospital. Addison is looking at the real estate section of the paper.
ADDISON
Oh here's one. Two bedroom, two bathrooms, a finished basement...
DEREK
What do we need two bedrooms for? One for me one for you?
Derek smiles playfully.
ADDISON
It could be a guest room.
DEREK
We never have guests.
ADDISON
Or Doc's room?
DEREK
A whole room for a dog?
ADDISON
Or a baby.
DEREK
What's wrong with the trailer?
Alex Karev walks over to Derek and Addison.
ALEX
Dr. Shephard?
DEREK AND ADDISON
What?
Alex looks to Addison.
ALEX
Dr. Bailey is looking for you.
ADDISON
What for?
ALEX
I don't know. Something about your nephew.
ADDISON
My nephew? Which one?
ALEX
Logan. He's in trauma 4.
Panic fills Addison's and Derek's eyes.
ADDISON
He's sick?
ALEX
Why else would he be here?
Addison and Derek storm off past Alex.
CUT TO:
INT. SEATTLE GRACE HOSPITAL -- LATER
A blond ten-year-old girl, HANNAH CARSON, is sitting on a bed with her arm in a splint. A nurse is sitting next to her reading her a story. Izzie walks over to the bed.
IZZIE
Excuse me. Would you mind giving us a minute?
NURSE 3
Sure. There you go, Hannah.
The nurse hands Hannah the book and walks away.
IZZIE
Hi, Hannah, I'm Izzie.
Hannah slightly smiles at Izzie.
IZZIE (CONT'D)
How you feeling?
HANNAH
Okay.
IZZIE
Is it okay if I ask you a few questions.
HANNAH
Ok.
IZZIE
When your mom and dad are away from home who takes care of you?
HANNAH
I go to my friend, Caylie's house. Her mom takes care of us.
IZZIE
What about an aunt or an uncle or a grandparent?
HANNAH
Just Caylie's mom.
IZZIE
Ok.
Izzie smiles.
HANNAH
Are my parents ok? The other doctor said they were working on them.
IZZIE
Um, I'm not sure. I'll go check for you.
Hannah nods.
Izzie pulls the curtain around Hannah's bed and stops Dr. Bailey as she walks by.
IZZIE (CONT'D)
Dr. Bailey?
BAILEY
Stevens, have you seen Yang?
IZZIE
No. But, um, I was just wondering, is someone coming down to talk to Hannah..the little girl from the car crash, about her parents?
BAILEY
Like who?
IZZIE
Someone from psych.
BAILEY
Psych?
IZZIE
Her parents died. I think she should talk to a professional.
BAILEY
Sounds like you just don't want to do it yourself.
IZZIE
I'm just trying to look out for a patient.
BAILEY
Mmm-hmm...Come on this is going to be one of the hardest things you'll ever have to learn.
IZZIE
Right now?
Bailey and Izzie walk over to Hannah.
BAILEY
Hi, Hannah. I'm Dr. Bailey.
Hannah politely smiles.
HANNAH
Hi.
Izzie sits down next to Hannah.
IZZIE
Hannah, Dr. Bailey and I have something really important to tell you.
HANNAH
Is it about my mom and dad?
Dr. Bailey begins to speak and Izzie interrupts.
IZZIE
Yeah, it is.
Hannah begins to hold back her tears.
IZZIE (CONT'D)
When they came in here they were really, really sick.
IZZIE (CONT'D)
All the doctors worked extremely hard...but...
HANNAH
(shaking her head)
Don't say it.
IZZIE
They couldn't save them. Sweetie they died.
Hannah looks down in shock.
HANNAH
No. No this morning they were fine.
IZZIE
I'm so sorry, Hannah.
Hannah slowly begins to cry and falls into Izzie's arms. Bailey is sympathetic and impressed with Izzie's work.
INT. SEATTLE GRACE HOSPITAL -- LATER
Two nurses walk past Dana filing charts clearly gossiping. We watch as Dana become interested in the conversation.
NURSE 1
So he started sleeping with the intern.
NURSE 2
And she had no idea he was married?
NURSE 1
Not a clue; until his wife showed back up.
We close up on Dana turning down her Ipod so that she can listen.
NURSE 2
And now he's back with his wife?
NURSE 1
Didn't you hear?
NURSE 2
Last spring at the fake prom...
Dana is listening intently when Cristina interrupts.
CRISTINA
Dana?
DANA (startled)
What?
CRISTINA
You're still here?
DANA
Yeah. Didn't Miranda tell you I was still here waiting?
CRISTINA
No. When are you leaving?
DANA
My mom's not picking me up until 4.
CRISTINA
Can't you drive?
DANA
I'm not allowed to drive in the inner city.
Cristina sighs and begins to file charts. Dana gets up and begins to follow her around.
DANA (CONT'D)
So what do we do now?
CRISTINA
Well I have have to see post ops.
DANA
Can I come?
CRISTINA
No.
DANA
Can I watch you file charts?
CRISTINA
No!
DANA
Can I...?
CRISTINA
No!
DANA
Then what should I do?
CRISTINA
I don't know. I don't care.
DANA
Wait till I tell Miranda that you blew me off not once, not...
CRISTINA
Alright, alright, after I get this done you can...have lunch with me. Happy?
DANA
Yes.
CRISTINA
And call her Dr. Bailey. We all have to.
CUT TO:
INT. SEATTLE GRACE HOSPITAL -- MOMENTS LATER
We are back in Logan's room. Logan is sitting in bed looking down into his thumbs fiddling in his lap. Addison and Derek enter the room. Alex follows behind them and stands at the back of the room. The nurse, Olivia, is fixing his IV. When she finished she walks to the back of the room and stands by Alex.
ADDISON
Logan!
Addison rushes over to his bedside and gives him a hug. This is a side of Addison we don't see very often. Logan looks extremely relieved to see his aunt.
ADDISON (CONT'D)
Thank God you're alright. What happened?
Logan begins get a little choked up. He's so happy to have his aunt with him. Derek sits down at the end of the bed.
LOGAN
I ran a red light, Addie. I hit another car.
Logan becomes more and more childlike as he speaks. Addison sits next to Logan on his bed and begin to wipe his hair out of his eyes and lightly scratch his arm to calm him down.
ADDISON
Oh, honey.
LOGAN
There was a family in the other car. They brought them here. I don't know what happened to them or how they're doing.
ADDISON
Aw sweetie, I'm just glad you're okay.
Is this really Addison? She acts extremely kind and maternal towards her nephew. Alex notices her behavior and whispers to Olivia.
ALEX
What's with the she-shephard. Did she forget to take her bitch pills this morning?
LOGAN
And there's something else.
ADDISON
What?
Logan pauses and looks back down into his hands.
ADDISON (CONT'D)
It's okay, Logan, tell me.
LOGAN
I can't.
Logan motions his head toward Alex and Olivia. Addison looks to Alex and Olivia.
ADDISON
Hey guys? Could you give us a minute.
Alex and Olivia leave the room.
LOGAN
Derek too.
ADDISON
You don't even want your uncle here?
LOGAN
After he was such a dick to you?
Derek looks down.
ADDISON
Logan, you know I hate it when you talk like that.
DEREK
That's ok. I've got some work I've got to do anyways. Good to see you, Logan.
Derek exits.
ADDISON
Now, it's just us. What did you want to tell me.
LOGAN
I feel terrible.
ADDISON
I know, baby. But accidents happen. You can't always prevent them.
LOGAN
No, that's just it. I could have.
ADDISON
What do you mean?
LOGAN
I was huffing, Addie. I was high when I crashed.
Addison becomes a lot less maternal and more defensive.
ADDISON
You were what?
LOGAN
I didn't plan on driving, Addie. It was just getting late and it was just a five minute ride so I figured...
Addison stands up and begins pacing.
ADDISON
Oh my God, Logan. Do you have any idea how serious this is?
LOGAN
I'm so sorry, Addie. I'll never get high again, I swear.
Addison is speechless.
LOGAN (CONT'D)
And I'll do whatever it takes to fix that family's car. Anything!
ADDISON
Are your parents on their way?
LOGAN
No, not yet.
Addison continues to pace back and forth in shock.
LOGAN (CONT'D)
Addie? Are you okay?
ADDISON
I'm...I'm gonna go call your mother.
LOGAN
You're not going to tell her are you?
ADDISON
I'll be back later, Logan.
Addison walks out in shock. And Logan begins to cry.

EXT. SEATTLE GRACE HOSPITAL -- DAY
Alex, George, Meredith and Izzie are outside eating lunch at a picnic table.
GEORGE
Have any of you guys met the new intern yet?
MEREDITH
No.
IZZIE
I haven't seen her.
GEORGE
It's driving me crazy. What if she's a better surgeon than all of us? What if she graduated from Princeton or Yale or something?
ALEX
What if she's a moron and we still have to work with her?
MEREDITH
What if she knows more procedures than us and makes us all look bad?
George looks to Izzie.
GEORGE
Izzie are you alright? You look a little...not right.
ALEX
Dude you never say that to a chick. No wonder you're alone. Izzie, you look hot.
IZZIE
I'm fine. I just had a rough morning.
Cristina and Dana walk over to the picnic table.
CRISTINA
Guys, this is Dana. The new intern.
DANA
Hi everyone.
ALEX
What are you? A whiz kid or something?
CRISTINA
She's not a surgical intern. She's an intern intern. She's on her high school senior project.
Alex, Izzie, George and Meredith sigh in relief.
GEORGE
High school?
ALEX
Oh man. What a relief. I thought there was going to be more competition.
IZZIE
Me too.
GEORGE
I, I wasn't that nervous.
DANA
Is it okay if I join you for lunch?
CRISTINA
I already said you could. What do you want? A formal invitation.
GEORGE
Sure.
George scoots over so that Dana can sit down. Cristina also sits down.
MEREDITH
So are you having fun so far?
DANA
It's been a little slow this morning but hopefully I'll get to do some cool stuff later with Miranda.
Dana turns to Cristina
DANA (CONT'D)
Unlike somebody she doesn't want me to be bored.
CRISTINA
What? I'm not a cruise director.
DANA
But while I was sitting at the front desk I did hear some really really good gossip.
IZZIE
Really? Like what?
DANA
Did you know that one of the attendings is messing around with an intern?
Everyone looks down at their plates and all reply over each other.
IZZIE
No.
GEORGE
I didn't.
CRISTINA
I haven't heard that.
MEREDITH
Same here.
Alex is the only one who replies honestly.
ALEX
Really?
DANA
Yeah, and, get this, the attending is married!
ALEX
No!
DANA
Yes! And his wife moved back here to try to win him back because, you're never going to believe this, she cheated on him...with his best friend.
MEREDITH
(referring to the fact that so much gossip is going around.)
Unbelievable.
DANA
I know! What a moron that intern was.
MEREDITH
Hey!
Meredith covers herself
MEREDITH (CONT'D)
What do you have...against...interns.
DANA
What was she thinking? She should have cut it off as soon as she found out he was married.
Izzie attempts to quiet Dana.
IZZIE
Dana could you pass me the salt?
DANA
Sure.
Dana passes Izzie the salt but continues to talk.
DANA (CONT'D)
And that attending is scuz too for leading her on for so long.
ALEX
Wait a minute? This guy's got two chicks after him even after he cheated on one of them? Man, I can't wait to be an attending.
DANA
You don't think he's trash?
ALEX
Trash? He's my idol!
IZIIE
Hey, Dana, why don't you finish your pudding.
Dana begins eating her pudding and talks with her mouth full.
DANA
It's just like the love triangle between Lola, Graciela and Zeke on No Air to Exhale. Well the beginning, not the ending.
MEREDITH
How did it end on No Air to Exhale?
DANA
Zeke found Lola in bed with Graciela.
Izzie, Meredith, George and Cristina all cringe at the thought of that happening to their situation.
IZZIE, MEREDITH, GEORGE AND CRISTINA
Eeew!
Dana, totally oblivious to that fact that she's talking to "the intern" continues eating her pudding.
DANA
Mmm! This is good pudding.
INT. SEATTLE GRACE HOSPITAL -- LATER
Addison is talking on her cell phone. She is holding her ear to block out all other noise.
ADDISON
Meg, I don't know why you're not answering your phone but you need to call me back as soon as you get this message.
Addison hangs up her phone and Derek walks over.
DEREK
Hey. How you hanging in there?
ADDISON
My sister won't answer her phone. I can't think straight, and my nephew could be going to jail. How would you be?
DEREK
Addie, it was an accident. Logan won't go to jail.
ADDISON
Derek...
Addison looks down at her fiddling fingers then looks Derek in the eyes.
ADDISON (CONT'D)
He was high when he was driving.
DEREK
What?
ADDISON
He was leaving from a party at his friend's house.
DEREK
Oh my god.
ADDISON
I checked, they already did a drug screening, the police have already been contacted. He's not even old enough to see an R-rated movie and his life is over.
DEREK
You don't know that.
ADDISON
He hit three people, Derek. And killed two of them. I do know that.
DEREK
Addie...
ADDISON
And I don't know how I'm supposed to feel because I'm so unbelievably furious with him that I can't even look at him but at the same time, I can't shake this urge to walk in there and hold him in my arms, and make everything feel alright.
DEREK
I know.
Derek rubs Addison's shoulder with his hand.
ADDISON
Do you remember the day he was born, Derek? I mean really remember it?
DEREK
Yeah.
ADDISON
I was so excited. I remember they called us at two in the morning to tell us he was born. And I rushed over to the hospital in my pajama pants and a t-shirt just to get a glimpse of him. And then they let me hold him. They laid my beautiful, tiny, innocent little nephew in my arms and it was incredible. I felt like I would do anything to protect him from pain as long as I was alive. But I can't do that for him right now. Not for this.
DEREK
Addison...
Addison's phone rings. Addison looks at her phone.
ADDISON
It's Meg.
Addison answers the phone and turns away from Derek.
Derek walks away and we pan to Izzie on a computer at the front desk. George walks over to Izzie eating a Snickers bar.
GEORGE
Whatcha looking up?
Izzie shuffles with the mouse and closes windows on the computer.
IZZIE
Nothing. Just stuff for a patient.
GEORGE
Are you okay?
IZZIE
I'm fine.
A man in his forties from social services walks up to the desk.
MAN
Isobel Stevens?
IZZIE
Yes?
MAN
Hi. I'm here from social services about a little girl.
IZZIE
Oh yes. Hi.
Izzie and the man shake hands.
IZZIE (CONT'D)
Any luck finding any family?
MAN
She's got a grandfather in a nursing home with late stage alzheimers and a distant uncle who lives in France.
IZZIE
That's it?
MAN
That's it.
IZZIE
So what are you going to do?
MAN
Well, were going to take the girl...
IZZIE
Hannah.
MAN
Hannah into custody. She'll probably be placed in foster homes until we can find a more long term arrangement.
IZZIE
How common is it for a 10-year-old to be adopted?
MAN
It's not.
IZZIE
There's nothing else we can do?
MAN
Unless you know of a relative of this child that we don't. Yes.
Izzie hesitates.
IZZIE
Actually. I talked to Hannah and, um, she told me that her parents weren't biological she was adopted when she was born.
MAN
That doesn't really change anything.
IZZIE
But what if we could find her biological parents? Is there any way they could adopt her?
MAN
The odds of that are slim to none. Even if we could find her biological parents I doubt they would want her. They were the ones that gave her up in the first place.
IZZIE
But what if they did want her? Would it be possible to adopt her?
MAN
I don't know. I guess so. I could look into it. Did the girl know anything about her biological parents.
IZZIE
No...but I think I may know who her mother is.
The man is getting fed up with all of Izzies "what ifs," and guessing.
MAN
Who, Dr. Stevens?
IZZIE
It's me. I'm Hannah's mother.
INT. SEATTLE GRACE HOSPITAL -- LATER
Addison is upstairs in the NICU. She is holding a brand new baby and she hands him to a little girl about age seven sitting in a rocking chair. There is a man standing behind her looking over her shoulder. This man is the children's father.
ADDISON
Here you go. Your new little brother.
Addison places the baby in the child's arms and kneels down next to her.
LITTLE GIRL
He's still sleeping?
ADDISON
Yeah, baby's sleep a lot.
MAN 2
What do you think, Ashley? Isn't he cute?
LITTLE GIRL
Yeah.
ADDISON
Make sure you don't hold his little head up too much. You don't want him to have trouble breathing.
LITTLE GIRL
Okay.
MAN 2
Thank you.
ADDISON
You're welcome.
Addison begins to walk away when one of the nurses rushes over to her.
NURSE
Dr. Shephard? You're wanted in the ER. It's your nephew.
ADDISON
What's wrong?

Dana is sitting alone at the front desk. Bailey walks up to her. Meridith and Cristina are filing out paper work at the desks next to Dana.
BAILEY
Dana?
DANA
Yeah?
BAILEY
You ready to go do something a little more interesting?
Dana pops up from her chair.
DANA
Yes!
BAILEY
You've been HIPPA certified haven't you?
DANA
Yup! Watched the video four times.
BAILEY
Good. You're gonna help me get a history on an 85-year-old male.
DANA
85? That's a long history.
BAILEY
He's currently suffering from severe chest pain.
Bailey looks to Meredith and Cristina who clearly aren't paying attention.
BAILEY (CONT'D)
It might be surgical.
When Bailey says "surgical," Meredith and Cristina's heads pop up.
MEREDITH
What?
CRISTINA
Surgical?
MIRANDA
He needs an H and P first.
MEREDITH
I'm free.
CRISTINA
Me too. Totally free.
MEREDITH
Really, really, not busy.
MIRANDA
Too late. I'm doing it with Dana.
MEREDITH
What?
CRISTINA
Dana? She's not even a doctor! She's not even a high school graduate.
MIRANDA
Let's go Dana.
Miranda and Dana walk away.
CRISTINA
Suck up.
MEREDITH

We are now back in Logan's hospital room. Logan is throwing up blood. Beside him are two officers. Alex and other nurses are taking care of him.
ALEX
Push medical medical.
NURSE
Do you want medical?
ALEX
Yeah. Medical ML.
Addison enters.
ADDISON
Oh my god! What happened?
OFFICE #1
Nothin' I was just talkin' to him.
ADDISON
Not you!
Addison begins to put on gloves.
ALEX
He started vomiting blood about a minute ago. His contusion from the seat belt must be worse than we thought.
ADDISON
Ya think? Did you give him medical medical?
ALEX
Yes.
ADDISON
And medical medical?
ALEX
Yes. He should be out soon. The on-call attending was called. They're preparing an OR upstairs.
Addison kneels beside Logan.
ADDISON
You're okay, Logan. I'm here. We're gonna fix you right up. Everything's gonna be fine.
Logan begins to doze off.
ALEX
Alright suction. Let's tube him.
One of the nurses begins to suction and Alex intubates Logan.
ALEX (CONT'D)
I'm in. Let's get him upstairs.
Addison helps to push Logan's bed out of the room and Addison catches her sister, Meg, sitting out in the waiting area.
ADDISON
Meg!
Meg stands up to greet Addison. Meg and Addison hug.
ADDISON (CONT'D)
Logan's being taken upstairs for medical. They think he might have medical.
MEG
((Uninterested)
Oh.
ADDISON
I've seen lots of cases like this, Meg. He should recover completely in a month or so.
MEG
Not when I'm through with him.
ADDISON
What?
MEG
I didn't spend the past 16 years taking care of him, teaching him right from wrong, giving him everything he ever wanted for him to turn out like this.
ADDISON
Meg, I know he screwed up...
MEG
Screwed up? He used drugs Addie...
ADDISON
I know that.
MEG
Then he drove a car.
ADDISON
Meg, I know.
MEG
And he killed two innocent people.
ADDISON
I know but...
MEG
There is no but Addie. I want him out of my life.
ADDISON
Right now he's one very sick, scared boy, Meg. He needs you.
MEG
Needs me? He didn't need me to get into this mess.
ADDISON
Meg, he could go to jail
MEG
And he doesn't need me to get out of it.
ADDISON
What if they try him as an adult? What if they put him away for years.
MEG
Then let him go. He deserves it.
ADDISON
What?
MEG
Addie, I don't want to see or hear from that boy ever again.
ADDISON
You don't mean that.
MEG
Yes I do. He is no longer mine. He is no longer my problem.
ADDISON
Meg, I really think you just need to calm...
MEG
Call me if he's moved. I have to get home, Grant's alone.
Meg begins to walk away.
ADDISON
Meg...
MEG
I have to go.

Izzie is in a trauma room stitching up a teenage boy's arm. The man from social services peaks into the room.
MAN
Dr. Stevens?
IZZIE
Yes?
MAN
Can I speak to you for a moment?
IZZIE
Um, sure.
Izzie looks to the teenage boy.
IZZIE (CONT'D)
I'll be right back.
The boy nods and Izzie takes off her gloves as she walks towards the man. Izzie and the man step outside of the trauma room.
MAN
I looked into your request.
IZZIE
And?
MAN
There isn't a precedent for this type of situation. But I did discuss your situation with a colleague of mine. She said that because legally you have no connection to the child we cannot temporarily place her in your care unless you are a certified foster parent.
IZZIE
(Disappointed)
I figured as much.
MAN
However, it is extremely difficult to find a home for children Hannah's age. And you seem to currently have a stable, respectable career. It is possible that you could adopt her back.
Izzie smiles.
IZZIE
Are you sure?
MAN
I can't promise you anything. But if there really is no family, and no will and you get yourself a good lawyer, there's a very good chance, Dr. Stevens, that you could get your daughter back.
Izzie smiles. She's unbelievable thrilled and becoming all choked up.
IZZIE
Thank you.

Dana and Bailey enter an exam room. In the bed is an 85-year-old male, Frank Avery. He is in extremely high spirits and has a slight southern accent. He is hooked up to an IV and a heart monitor.
BAILEY
Hello Mr. Avery, I'm Dr. Bailey.
FRANK
Oh none of that now. You can call me Frank. Everybody does.
Frank looks to Dana.
FRANK (CONT'D)
And who's this?
BAILEY
This is our intern, Dana. She'll be spending some time with us these next few weeks.
FRANK
Oh great! That's fantastic.
Dana smiles shyly.
BAILEY
Would it be alright if she stays in the room while I take your history?
FRANK
Sure! The more the merrier. I have no secrets.
Dana and Bailey sit down.
FRANK (CONT'D)
Well there was this one time I snuck into three movies off of just one ticket.
BAILEY
You must have been a crazy teenager.
FRANK
What teenager? This was last week.
Dana giggles. She is clearly amused by Frank.
BAILEY
Sir, have you ever experienced chest pain before?
FRANK
Well, to be Frank.
Dana giggles again. Frank points to Dana.
FRANK (CONT'D)
Haha she caught it. I'm always Frank!
DANA
That was a good one.
FRANK
Well thank you, darling. Honestly, I've never had chest pain. Not like I had this morning. I'm feeling much better now.
BAILEY
That's just the medicine we gave you.
FRANK
I'd like to get back home as soon as possible if you don't mind. It's my grandson's birthday tomorrow.
Frank turns to Dana.
FRANK (CONT'D)
Wanna see a picture?
DANA
Sure.
Frank grabs his wallet and turns to a picture of a teenage boy.
FRANK
Here we go. Eh, what do you think? Pretty handsome, huh?
DANA
Yeah.
FRANK
Want me to set you up? I'll do it.
Dana blushes.
FRANK (CONT'D)
I'm just kidding. A pretty girl like you probably already has a boyfriend.
BAILEY
Frank, is there any history of heart conditions in your family?
FRANK
Yes, there sure is.
BAILEY
Could you elaborate for me?
FRANK
No I cannot. Life's too short to focus on the bad. Isn't that right, Dana?
DANA
That's right.

We are back in Hannah's room. Hannah is sitting on her bed drawing a picture. Izzie walks up to her.
IZZIE
Hi Hannah. How are you feeling?
Hannah shrugs her shoulders.
IZZIE (CONT'D)
Do you mind if I sit with you for a minute?
Hannah shrugs her shoulders again. Izzie sits down next to Hannah.
IZZIE (CONT'D)
What are you drawing?
HANNAH
Just a picture.
IZZIE
Can I see it?
Hannah hands the paper to Izzie. On the paper is a drawing of a dog.
IZZIE (CONT'D)
Very nice. Is this your dog?
HANNAH
No. I don't have a dog. My mom says they're too messy.
IZZIE
Well, she was right. My roommate got a dog and it drove us all insane.
HANNAH
My friend, Caylie, has a dog. One time, it ran away and it showed up at my house.
IZZIE
Well he must have just liked you better.
Hannah smiles.
HANNAH
I think he really did. I played with him all the time.
IZZIE
Yeah?
Hannah nods.
IZZIE (CONT'D)
Hannah, I've got kind of a funny question for you.
HANNAH
Ok.
IZZIE
What have your parents told you about the day you were born?
HANNAH
Nothing. They don't know anything. I was adopted.
IZZIE
How about your biological parents? Did they tell you anything about them?
HANNAH
Not really.
IZZIE
Have you ever imagined what it would be like to meet your biological mom?
HANNAH
Can you keep a secret?
IZZIE
Sure.
HANNAH
Don't tell anybody this but sometimes, I like to imagine that my real mom is a celebrity.
Izzie looks slightly disappointed.
IZZIE
You want your mother to be a celebrity?
HANNAH
Wouldn't that be cool? And when we meet she'll be able to take me to all of her movie premieres and we'll meet other famous people like Brad Pitt and Britney Spears.
IZZIE
But what if your mom were a doctor or a lawyer? Wouldn't you like that too?
HANNAH
That would be cool too I guess. But then I couldn't meet Brad Pitt.
IZZIE
Well what if Jennifer Aniston punches Brad Pitt for cheating on her?
Hannah looks at Izzie confused.
IZZIE (CONT'D)

Derek walks in and sits down next to Addison.
DEREK

I guess we're not going to the city anytime soon.
ADDISON
I guess not.
DEREK
Did Meg ever show up?
ADDISON
Yeah, she showed up, for about two seconds.
DEREK
Why so short?

She's furious. She doesn't want anything to do with Logan anymore. She says he's no longer her problem.
DEREK
She was just angry, that's all.
ADDISON
I don't know.
Addison pauses.
ADDISON (CONT'D)
What am I supposed to tell him when he wakes up and his own mother isn't here? He needs her right now more then ever and she leaves him here all alone.

Life is like one big, giant, roller coaster, only faster. In half a moment one's life can change from pure sunlight to pure darkness. And we try to enjoy what each day brings, for the sole reason that, we never know what the next day will bring. But it's easy to take things for granted.
