Jackson places a pillow behind Richard's back as He sits up.
"I'm alright, Jackson," Richard says as Jackson nods.
"You need anything?" Maggie wonders as he nods his head no. Catherine makes her way into the room.
"Who did my surgery?" Richard asks.
"Sloan and Grey," Jackson answers as Catherine grasps hold of her husband's hand. The two younger surgeons give the couple some privacy.
"Why are you here?" The old man asks Catherine.
"I'm here because you got hurt...Is your mind playing tricks on you again?" Catherine asks as she tilts her head to the side. Richard feels his blood boil as his eyebrows furrow.
"Did you stand by me while I was being fired, you buy my hospital to humiliate me, or is that my mind playing tricks on me too? Get Out!" He shouts at her as her body stiffens.
"Mom," Jackson mutters as he walks her out of the hospital.
"I-" Catherine stammers.
"Mom," Jackson repeats as he looks at her.
"He just-"
"He did,"
"Wow," Catherine says as she pinches the bridge of her nose.
"I'm divorcing his ass," Catherine mutters as she walks past her son.
"Mom, You brought t-" Jackson starts as Catherine glares at him.
"Mind your own damn business," She tells him off before walking away. Jackson returns to Richard's room. They check his IV's. Maggie's pager goes off and she leaves.
"I apologize that I did that in front of you," Richard apologizes to Jackson.
"Yeah," Jackson breathes.
"I just...I felt trapped, I needed to let it out and she just...She got me fired, She bought the one thing I put my blood, sweat, and tears into...I didn't mean to do it in front of you but I needed to let it out," Richard says as his fists tighten.
"It's alright,"
"No, It isn't because if a man did that to my mother, I would've smacked him straight,"
"Rest, Webber,"
"You two can discuss this later, You just got out of major surgery," Jackson answers as Richard nods.
…
April sighs as she knocks on Jo's door. Everyone was taking turns talking to the woman.
"Come on in," Jo says lazily as April opens the door.
She finds the resident nursing a bottle of wine.
April walks into the messy apartment and sits next to her.
"Your Turn?" Jo asks.
"Yeah," April breathes.
"You have it good, You have a good husband, Four cute little kids, What are you doing here?" Jo questions.
"Well, It seems like it but...I had a son before I had Harriet...It was maybe a year after you came...We didn't want the whole hospital knowing...He passed after an hour from Osteogenesis, Type 2," April recalls as Jo looks at the resident with wide eyes.
"It wasn't until two years later...We had Harriet...I had to work hard to have it good, Jo," April answers.
"Sorry about that...But Alex left me, For another woman...He freaking left me like We were nothing," Jo mutters as she sips the wine again.
"He promised me," She continues with a scoff.
"He did...We should've talked it out, worked it out," Jo says.
"What would you do if Avery just left?" Jo questions.
"I would find him...Kick his ass...I'd probably cry the same way you are right now but You have the realize...You need to keep breathing...believe me it isn't going to be easy but you have to...Your other half is gone...This is normal," April answers as Jo sighs.
"Well, Thanks for coming," Jo says as April sadly smiles.
April nods before standing up.
"Hey, Wilson?" April asks as The younger woman looks at her.
"Baby steps," April says before walking out of the apartment.
…
Jo hears another knock on her door.
"Come on in!" She shouts as Teddy Altman walks into the apartment.
Teddy sits next to the woman with tear-stained eyes.
"What's wrong with you?" Jo wonders.
"I cheated on Owen,"
