As a certain Shepherd would say, its a beautiful day to save lives.

Lets get to it!

Thats just what hes seen in his experience.

Maggie heads to the hospital, as do Bailey and Ben, and Meredith joins them there shortly after.

She sees Bailey talking to the police and pulls Alex away from everyone else.

You think no ones gonna realize this is you?!

Im a doctor I have a duty to report you to Bailey.

But of course, she doesnt at least, not yet.

You cant help it, its not your fault, he says.

Its easy for you to throw people away and just move on when things are bad.

Its not you, its the way you were raised or not raised.

I wanted to marry you.

I was asking you for something youre not capable of.

I should have known better.Ouch.

Something he knows all too much about.

For Meredith, its not blind loyalty, its earned loyalty.

These two have been through everything together, and shes not ready to turn him in just yet.

Mer relays all this to Alex, emphasizing DeLuca and Jo arent the bad guys here they are.

And Webber catches Jo before she can take off and convinces her to stay.

Her name is Harriet.

Harriet Avery, Catherine smiles.

Well, actually, hold up a second.

Who said her last name is Avery?

The debate gets settled succinctly when Jackson walks in and casually mentions theyre hyphenating the babys last name.

Shell be a Kepner-Avery!

She apologizes, but he just wants to know if shes okay, like the good guy he is.

Hes not happy, but says hell keep her confession to himself.

Then Alex tries to come in to talk and DeLuca freaks, screaming for him to leave.

Then she sits down in Baileys office and drops the bomb: Alex beat up DeLuca.

When Maggie finds out, she cant believe Mer didnt say anything.

Jo is watching as hes led away in handcuffs.

Dont lie to me again, she warns.

And then, suddenly, Riggs is at their door.

The past is written, theres no changing it.

Whats done is done, she says in a voiceover.

But the future is ours to choose, for better or worse.
