Ever wondered if the actors who play your favorite doctors on TV could actually store your life?
What a journey for her!
(Jesse Williams also directed this episode.)
How nice for them!
Meredith tells Jackson about Zolas panic attacks.
She blames herself for not seeing it she never had to worry about Zola before.
She tells him about how smart she is and her obsession with Alzheimers.
She knows its ridiculous.
She could fail, sure, but at least it would be something.
At least she could show Zola that shes trying everything she can.
Meredith is intrigued, of course, but Zola is her first priority.
If Zola doesnt want to be in Boston, its a no-go.
What do you know?
When Meredith goes to pick Zola up from the STEM school, she finds her daughter smiling!
And … doing physics experiments??
Whatever floats your boat, I guess.
The mother-daughter pair have a little heart-to-heart over lobster rolls because THEY ARE IN BOSTON, remember?
Remember how Ellis weaponized the wordordinaryagainst Meredith?
Extraordinary is a word loaded with meaning for Meredith Grey.
In the end, Zola admits that she loves the school here.
She already wants to join the robotics team and the orchestra.
Meredith hasnt seen her this happy in a long time.
So she texts Jackson: Shes in.
Shes moving to Boston and shes going to try and cure Alzheimers.
Bailey and Addison are headed to Pullman, Washington, a small city close to the Idaho border.
Theyre headed to a family-planning clinic there run by one of Baileys college roommates.
So, Bailey and Addison to the rescue!
Theyre the medical Thelma and Louise!
That optimism and empowerment they feel dont last long.
Bailey and Addison pick Susan up in Idaho and begin the drive back to Washington.
She has a 5-year-old daughter and is every bit the doting mother.
Then theres a rupture.
Susan begins bleeding out in the back of the van.
Susan bleeds out on the side of the road as Addison futilely tries to perform CPR.
If Susans OB in Idaho had been allowed to perform the surgery, all of this wouldve been avoided.
This was an avoidable tragedy.
No, really, Addison screams out, I AM INFURIATED!
I know this is a serious, sad time, but holy hell, I bet that felt good.
When in doubt, yell into oblivion.
And she, a trained doctor, cant do anything about it.
Our hands, that were trained to help them, our hands are tied, she laments.
Everybodys feeling helpless in this episode, I guess.
Then, Bailey tells Addison about the reproductive-health clinic she wants to start at Grey Sloan.
Addison, too, wants to do more.
Susan died because Addison and Bailey could only do so much with what they had on the road.
Its a game changer.
What a dream team!
The OR Board
Lucass attempt to keep his Shepherd connection under wraps is about to fail miserably.
When Amelia finds out, she asks the appropriate question: WHY???
She doesnt want to hear his sad story about needing to prove himself.
She gives him three days to come clean.
Benson Kwan was so quick to offer Amelia sexual favors in return for surgeries.
What is this mans deal?
You know the one!
In Boston, we also run into Catherine and Tom being shady as hell.
She wants to enjoy whatever time (possibly a few years) she has left.
And she also doesnt want anyone else including Richard and Jackson to know.
Tom has to carry that secret all alone.
Something tells me somebodys going to find out.
He brings an energy this show needs!
He is a delight!
