Did you learn nothing?
Thats life and you’re free to only do so much.
Take Meredith, for example.
Hesitantly, she goes, knowing theres nothing she can do for him.
Or that great bonding moment when Lexie died and he wasnt there for Meredith.
Oh, and let us never forget that she never heard a peep from her father when Derek died.
Put these moments in the family scrapbook, you know?
Okay, so yes, they get into it.
He built schools in Africa and climbed mountains and shit.
She has a point!
But heres the thing, Thatcher did come home when Richard called him to tell him about Derek.
Honestly, guys, he was probably right.
Meredith did not need that kind of baggage confronting her as she was burying her husband.
Once they clear that up, something kind of wonderful happens.
Even Meredith, who has Seen Some Shit, is crying.
Remember that giant tumor that lodged itself onto Catherines spine?
Its time to perform the risky surgery to remove it!
Jackson is not handling the potential loss of his mother well.
Because guys, no one was okay there!
Catherines doctors arent much better.
They are employing the old Fake It Till You Make It strategy to survive this surgery.
But even they know that their arrogance is a little over the top even for Tom!
Tom decides its time they use Amelias coping mechanism: The word vomit and the feelings.
Toms especially worried for all the men with penis problems out there.
But he also confesses that he cant lose his friend.
Hes lost too much (his son) already!
Because I love Tom as a character and think he should be a series regular.)
), and go operate the hell out of Catherines tumor.
Even when that risky move works, there is more trouble.
But fear not, people!
The most okay-est out of everyone is there to save the day!
Remember Richards cancer pen?
They can use it to ensure all the cancer is out.
Thank Shonda for that Innovation Contest Jackson funded, right?
The pen does help enormously, but it doesnt solve all of their problems.
They still end up with one nodule they are unable to remove.
Catherine lives, but she will be living with cancer for the rest of her life.
The keyword, Catherine tells her forlorn doctors, is living.
No, Tom and Amelia didnt get the entire tumor out, but they saved Catherines life.
That is a true gift.
It takes a while for two damaged people like Amelia and Tom to figure that out.
You know that cancer is coming back to haunt us all!
A show about hospice nurses seems like a natural place to go from here.
Two episodes in a row in which Merediths children are PHYSICALLY PRESENT?
What is this world?
What brought you a bigger smile during the OR Dance Party?
Jackson doing a little MJ spin with his mom or Tom and Bokhee dancing together?
If your answer isnt the latter, youre a monster.
