“Life Is a Freeway” may have been the unofficial theme track of Thursday’s Jesse Williams-directed Gray’s Anatomy. Not solely did Bailey and Addison road-trip to a household planning middle, however Meredith used a few of the frequent-flier miles she’d racked up going forwards and backwards to Minnesota to go to Boston (hello, Jackson). On prime of all that, Catherine contemplated an altogether totally different type of journey — to, you understand, the opposite facet. And if you happen to learn on, we’ll pry open everyone’s journey diaries.
‘TWO MILLIMETERS IS NOT WORTH THIS CONVERSATION’ | As “After I Get to the Border” started, Meredith and Zola have been touring Brookline Steam Academy in Boston. (Zola was not impressed however agreed to spend the day shadowing a pupil, anyway). Elsewhere on the town, Catherine fibbed to Jackson that she and Koracick have been engaged on a challenge. As soon as the coconspirators had taken off, Jackson and Mer reunited, and she or he revealed what Zola was going by. If solely Gray may remedy Alzheimer’s, then she may ease her daughter’s nervousness. Why not try this? Jackson steered. Very quickly, they have been speaking significantly about Mer presumably doing precisely that. Look what she had carried out for Parkinson’s! Plus, Gray working to remedy the illness that killed her mom is a narrative — it might get the inspiration funding. No go, Mer stated. Zola had been by sufficient and needed to be her focus. High-quality. “However I’m not gonna hand over on this, not fully,” Jackson stated. Later, he shared with Mer that spending time along with his father a few years in the past had, in a roundabout method, led him to his present life. Perhaps that was why Mer was staying up nights researching Alzheimer’s for Zola — she wasn’t having a breakdown however a breakthrough. Wouldn’t seeing her mother strive encourage Zola?
In the meantime, Tom reported to Catherine that her tumor was two millimeters larger than in her final scans. Not in remission, she wanted extra therapy, and she or he wanted to let her son and husband in on what was happening, Tom argued. In response, Catherine reminded him whose title was on the constructing. In addition to, she was getting assist, she insisted. She had an acupuncturist and a drugs man, and neither of them made her sick. “That is my most cancers, my selection,” she stated. Later, Tom began in on Catherine anew. However she was grateful that she wasn’t in an oncology ward. No matter time she had, she wished to spend it residing. If she was going to be in a hospital, she was going to be in a single as a health care provider. And what about when her family members discover out she spent all that point mendacity? She was defending her privateness and peace, she stated.
‘WHAT DO I KNOW, I’M JUST THE CHAUFFEUR?’ | Similtaneously all that was happening, Bailey and Addison made tracks to Washington to go to Miranda’s first-year school roommate Cynthia, who ran a clinic there. Cynthia was thrilled that they have been coming; the abortion protesters who greeted them, terrifyingly much less so. Inside, Bailey and Addison started making progress seeing sufferers… solely to have their pile of to-be-seen sufferers’ recordsdata develop even sooner than they might work their method by it. Quickly, “the medical Thelma and Louise” have been on the street once more to achieve a affected person named Susan in Idaho with an ectopic being pregnant connected to her C-section scar. Sadly, Susan reported that her 5-year-old solely wished one factor for her birthday: a sister. Oh pricey… abruptly, Susan began hemorrhaging. To maintain her from bleeding out, Addison principally inflated a balloon inside her. That purchased the docs a while… however may it presumably be sufficient? Lifeless forward was visitors at a standstill. Susan was determined to remain alive in order that she may watch her little woman develop up. “I’m not able to go,” she sobbed. And proper on cue, her coronary heart stopped beating. Bailey and Addison carried out CPR on the facet of the street, however alas, their efforts have been in useless. The lawmakers must be made to come back on the market, Addison cried, and see the carnage that they’d wrought. How have been she and Bailey purported to be docs below these circumstances? “I’m infuriated! Girls’s lives are on the road, and our palms which are skilled to assist them… are tied!”
‘I WONDER WHAT OTHER KINDS OF FAVORS HE DOES FOR HER’ | At Gray Sloan, Lucas balked at what number of familial duties Amelia had given him — together with taking Scout to daycare. However she cheerfully knowledgeable him that she’d ask any competent resident to drop off her child for her. (Hilariously, Scout appeared to name Lucas Dada in entrance of his friends.) Later, Lucas acquired a 911 textual content — concerning the tot. What was the accident? The type that occurred… in a child’s pants. As Adams purchased Scout alternative garments, he was caught by his fellow residents, furthering their certainty that he and Amelia have been sleeping collectively. Later, Blue assured Amelia that her and Lucas’ secret was secure. She was shocked that he knew. Solely when Blue began suggesting that he had expertise outdoors the O.R. did she start to catch on. Then Lucas lastly defined what his friends thought to Amelia. Gads, she couldn’t have individuals suppose that she was having intercourse together with her nephew. “Repair it!” she advised him.
‘IF THIS IS THE FUTURE, IT’S BLEAK’ | Within the episode’s previous few moments, Bailey shared that she had miscarried and wanted a DNC as a result of the miscarriage was incomplete. So she wished to organize healthcare professionals at Gray Sloan to assist, lest the subsequent era not be skilled. Addison wished to assist, too — and never simply in L.A. “I do know I could make a distinction.” Particularly, within the locations the place ladies have been having to cross state strains for care. Reassuring Addison that Susan’s dying wasn’t on her, Bailey realized that what they’d wanted was Ben’s no-longer-in-use PRT. Again at Gray Sloan, Lucas reminded Amelia that he’d solely requested her to not blow his cowl. He’d all the time been the loser of the Shepherds, he wished to attempt to succeed not as a Shepherd. Unmoved, she gave him three days to set the report straight. In Boston, Zola apprehensive about what would occur in the event that they moved and she or he nonetheless had panic assaults. That type of concern was Mother’s area, Gray assured her. Plus, Jackson had supplied her a job. In that case, Zola was all in — she cherished Brookline. “I’m in,” Mer texted Jackson. “We’re transferring to Boston.” Perhaps finally she’d additionally let Nick know?
