As Meredith starts examining, Danny's sister Kathy comes in. Probably finding more stupid stuff to cram into this room, Danny replies, gesturing to the objects that are in there to make the room feel more homey. Richard calls him to take a walk.ДЄlex and Meredith walk into Danny's room, and Alex asks where his sister is. Owen gets even madder and tells John he'll change his mother's locks, passwords and phone number. Owen thinks John is taking advantage of his mother, but Evelyn insists it's a serious relationship. Owen is mad, because that's young enough to be his brother. Evelyn thinks it's rude, but John says 35. John says he's heard so much about Owen, as his mother is really proud of him. As Amelia tries to keep things medical, Evelyn says John is nice to her. Owen asks his mother how long this has been going on. Owen's mother didn't tell him that she and John are dating, so Amelia breaks the news. He introduces himself, but Owen doesn't want to shake his hand.

John says he was making them some breakfast before work. Contrary to Richard and Amelia, Owen doesn't get it. Evelyn Hunt again says that John was with her when she fell.

Owen tells John he can go, as his part is over now. Evelyn wants John to stay, as he was with her when it happened. John, the firefighter, says that Evelyn has been feeling dizzy all morning. There's a firefighter by her side, who tells Owen she fell through the glass and that she got dizzy. She's embarrassed, because she fell in the shower, so she's wearing nothing but a robe. Richard thought Owen had been told about the patient and pulls the curtain aside, revealing Owen's mother. He lists the injuries and says Shepherd is examining her now. Richard says he shouldn't be worried and that she's understandibly embarrassed, so they put her in trauma 1. However, Stephanie wants Jo to call her if it's something big. Jo tells Stephanie that the case is probably neuro, so she did Stephanie a favor. April comes over and says she has a surgery, and since Owen had a personal matter come up, she needs one of them to take care of a patient with a headache in the ER. She spent so much time with Amelia on Herman's tumor that she's behind on every other specialty, so she needs to log more hours in other specialties fast. Owen asks about tonight, as they're both not on-call. He feels that way too, so they're gonna need a follow-up where they won't be interrupted. She says she feels like last night's business was unfinished. Amelia just finished her surgery, so Owen came to see if Bailey can have the OR for her bowel obstruction. She then walks off.ДЄmelia and Owen meet up in the scrub room. He asks about the phone thing, but Meredith only says she wants to examine the patient herself and get a new ultrasound. She tells him Derek's home since this morning. Meredith gets off the elevator and Alex talks her through one of his cases. He looks forward to working with her, he says. The synaptic time discoveries she made will help them immensely with their project, so he wants to follow up on her project. Her research is going good, all things considered. He asks which one of them is patch-clamping nerve cellls. Meredith grabs her stuff and leaves for the hospital, right after telling Derek their kids would love to spend the day with him.ДЄfter a few flashbacks of Meredith and Derek's recent fights about D.C., there's a flashback to nine weeks ago, where Derek is questioningВ a group of doctors. He says he came home because he thinks they are in trouble. She was his resident once, and she thinks Derek came home because he thought he was in trouble. Meredith wishes she could believe him, but she knows how this works. If she wants, he can go through it again. He called her from the airport, and then she told him that she spoke to Meredith. Derek says she probably thought it was him. Meredith asks why his research fellow answered the phone. Meanwhile, Owen is shocked when his mother is admitted to the hospital.Дerek explains to Meredith that he left his phone at the research lab, and by the time he figured that out, he was already at the airport, on his way to her. Meredith, rattled by the latest events, tries to figure out what to do about Derek.
