There's a survivor. Derek finds Meredith in the residents' lounge and asks if she's leaving. She's not, she didn't get fired.
She knows that's disappointing to him. He says his trial is about to disappear, so he's not the bad guy here. The fact that it's Adele doesn't change things for Derek. If she were focused on the millions of people whose lives could have been changed by this trial, she wouldn't have pulled this stunt. He doesn't see how she doesn't know the difference between right and wrong. She thinks are more complicated than simply right or wrong. She is sorry that she messed everything up, but she'd do it again.
Derek says he can't raise a child with someone who doesn't understand that there's a right and a wrong. She's been saying she'd be a bad mother for weeks, and maybe she's right.
He needs some time and space to think. They get paged. Arizona brings Sarah Gordon, the survivor, into the ER.
It's an unaccompanied minor with head injuries and multiple chest contusions. All the attendings start working on her. Sarah opens her eyes and Derek explains that all these doctors are here to take good care of her. People are leaving the cafeteria while others are still making phone calls to other family members.
A woman arrives to console someone. Gilda Ruiz' phone has just died and Lexie offers her to use the hospital phones. While her husband Miguel goes to make the phone call, Lexie sits down with Gilda. April comes in and asks for the Gordon family, but they're not there. April tells Lexie they found a little girl, an unaccompanied minor.
They're operating on her right now. Miguel comes back and says they can go home now, but Gilda wants to stay here for the little girl whose family isn't here yet. If this had been their son Matthew The other remaining families overhear her. Gilda sits down, repeating she's staying. Miguel says okay and sits down with her. The other leaving families decide to stay as well.
Lexie promises to let them know about the girl. Cristina finds Meredith, who's constantly paged by the adoption lady. Derek is AWOL. Cristina can't believe it's true. Meredith says she needed to help Adele. She's just suspended for now since the Chief backed off when he found out it was Adele. She did what she had to do and she couldn't have lived with herself if she didn't. She then sees Alex is talking to Janet in a lounge.
She walks off, not paying attention to Cristina, who has some news of her own. Meredith walks into the lounge and tells Janet not to believe anything he said. Alex says this isn't about that.
Janet says they're granting her and Derek temporary custody of Zola pending the completion of the petition. If all goes well, they'll get full custody. According to Zola's doctor here, she's doing well, so they can take her home today. Alex says she'll need neuro follow-up exams and he has a prescription for pain meds in case she needs them. He asks if she has any questions. Teddy meets with Andrew, who's still not done.
He paged her because he wanted to see her face. When something like this happens, you want to be with someone you love. He hugs her as she realizes she also wants to be with someone she loves. He suggests they spend the night in a fancy hotel since they're leaving in the morning. She doesn't reply. A woman walks into the cafeteria. She asks if anyone knows where she can find someone who has information. Miguel says they should be right back. The woman says her daughter was in the crash and they told her they were operating on her.
Gilda figures out she's Mrs. Gordon and tells her that the doctors have been here every half hour with an update, so they'll be here any minute. A man gets her some coffee. Gordon is baffled and Gilda explains they all stayed here to pull for Sarah. She thanks them all. A nurse is packing a bag with swaddle blankets, formula, and diapers in Zola's room.
She asks Meredith if they have a diaper bag. Meredith says no. The nurse says they have some lying around. People leave stuff behind in the NICU if their baby doesn't make it.
The nurse also packs some pacifiers and asks if her husband is putting the car seat in the car. Meredith says they don't have a car seat, and she's not even sure she has a husband. The nurse giggles and says that happens when you're both surgeons, always at work.
She continues to put things in the bag. Gordon says Sarah's father was supposed to fly with her but he couldn't make it, so she had to go alone. There was a flight attendant who helped her to get on the connecting flight in Vancouver. She then apologizes for not having asked about the people the families had on the plane. Gilda says her son Matthew is in surgery, too. Gordon asks if he'll be okay.
Gilda says yes. April comes in and informs Mrs. Gordon that Sarah is out of surgery, so she can come see her daughter now. Before leaving, Mrs.
Gordon hugs Gilda. She promises to pray for Matthew. All the other families start to leave, but Gilda breaks down in tears. Teddy walks into Henry's room and asks him to stand up. He thought he was clear. She tells him to shut up. She has to do something and he has to stand up for it. He reluctantly does it.
She leans in and kisses him. He's her husband she thinks she's falling in love with him. He kisses her back. Mark approaches Lexie and asks her how she's doing. She says not now. He has to stop talking to her and checking on her and talking to her boyfriend. She will always love Mark, but she wants to be happy. If he keeps pulling at her, she'll come back to him. He says she's right and apologizes. Lexie says he got his family, and he needs to let her have what she wants.
Mark says he told Jackson he could have Lexie. Lexie thinks that's paternalistic and weird. Mark says he's letting her go, which means she has to walk away.
She walks away from him. Jackson finds April and congratulates her. She deserves the job. He's happy because he has what he wants. April can't believe they're both happy after such a crappy year. April says she's happy to finally have some friends here as they hated her for so long. Jackson says they'll hate her again soon enough because it's her job now to boss them around.
Lexie is smiling at Jackson from a distance. Meredith comes home to a dark house with Zola. She tells her they're going to stay here until the other house is finished.
He's pissed off now, but that'll be fine. She goes to check the kitchen, which is empty. As she goes upstairs, she tells Zola they had this plan to look for a lullaby from Malawi to make things feel homey for Zola, but she can't even think of an American lullaby right now.
Meredith finds that Lexie is not up in her attic, and April's room is empty too. Meredith tells Zola that it's usually pretty hectic around here with all the people that live here. Meredith then finds out that Alex's room has been cleared out. She tells Zola they're going to be okay, they're a tough team. Meredith is very glad that Zola is here, although she imagined that the first day would be different. They're going to figure it out together. Cristina comes home to Owen.
She asks him to tell her how much he loves her. He says a very great deal. She wants him to remember that. She scheduled an abortion. She's sorry if this isn't what he wanted, but she can't talk about it anymore. She needs to lie down because she feels like crap.
Owen says this is a marriage. He tied his life to hers, so she can't decide this without him. He says you give in marriage. He's made a lot of sacrifices and he asks her to consider doing something for him. She says a baby is not pizza versus Thai. You don't give a little on a baby. She is saying no! He tells her to get out.
She's denying him part of the decision and a marriage. Before going home, Bailey wanted to tell Eli good night.
He wants to come home with her tonight. Bailey says her son is with her. He says he can meet her son. Bailey says it's not the right time. Eli says this is a relationship. They lean on each other when things go bad. That information won't hurt her son.
And if it does, this is not the right relationship for him. Meredith's family life, growing up, was not one that she cherished. In fact, the show's leading lady didn't have a very happy childhood, especially since her parents split up after Ellis confessed to Meredith's father Thatcher that she had an affair with Richard Webber. Years later, while she is a surgical resident, Thatcher makes a come back into her life quite by chance.
During this time, after Thatcher's second wife passes away, he is shown to be sinking into depression and becomes an alcoholic. His liver is damaged beyond repair and Meredith is the only person who can save his life, since they are a perfect match. Meredith does donate part of her liver to her father who recovers gradually. Meredith Grey knows how to keep the audience as well as everyone around her in tenterhooks.
The surgical interns have to go through a board exam to get them through to the next stage, that of a surgical resident. In true Grey's style, the episode with the boards is filled with drama with someone showing up late for the interview, others having sex in the restroom, and Meredith catching some kind of bug that made her quite sick.
Meredith caught the stomach bug from her daughter Zozo and ended up retching into a bucket before and during her interview. Of course, given who she was, she passed the exam with flying colors! If there's one thing Grey's knows how to do, it is heartbreaking episodes. One such episode that got fans weeping into their pillows was the one when Derek died.
After Derek's shocking death , Meredith stayed around only to attend the funeral and then took off to San Diego with her kids. She went off the radar to an extent that her friends wondered if she was okay, and no one knew where she was. It was only revealed much later in a more recent season that Meredith was actually in San Diego, probably a random choice since she needed to grieve and get away from everyone.
To add to the heartbreak, she gave birth to her husband's posthumous baby while at San Diego, alone, with her two kids. The audience always laps up crossovers. Well, this one wasn't a crossover per se, since How I Met Your Mother was long over by then, but fans did get to see two beloved faces together at least for a little while when Meredith went out to coffee with the adorable Ted Mosby Josh Radnor.
In season 8, Meredith lost her job because she tampered with a clinical trial for Alzheimer's. Basically, this involved Meredith switching the placebo with the actual drug so she could ensure that Richard's wife Adele Loretta Devine was getting the real treatment. Ultimately, though, she was re-hired after Richard took the fall for Meredith and resigned as chief so she could be reinstated.
A couple of episodes later, she was back. Alex, too, has been suspended before. When he was waiting trial for assaulting Andrew DeLuca Giacomo Gianniotti in season 13, Bailey suspended him, pending the court outcome.
DeLuca eventually dropped the charges and Alex came back to work. And, in season 6, when Richard began drinking again, the hospital told him he could permanently leave or he could go to rehab. He eventually sobered up and returned to work. Those aren't the only characters who have broken major laws or made major mistakes that got them fired.
April Kepner Sarah Drew got fired in season 6 for killing a patient in a way that could have been prevented. She was hired back when Derek Patrick Dempsey became chief. Bailey even suspended her own husband Ben Warren Jason Winston George in season 12 after he performed unsupervised surgeries. He returned after a few months.
