George and Meredith go up the stairs. He looks around, lost in thought. It's been a long time since he last went this route. He looks down into the hall that now extends in front of him! Meredith is a few steps ahead of him and realizes that he is no longer walking next to her. She stops and turns around. "George!?" She calls to him. He goes on slowly. Meredith has already arrived at Bailey's office and is knocking on the door. "Come in!" Meredith looks at George. "Wait here!" She enters the office. Dr. Bailey sits behind her desk, busy typing on the laptop in front of her. With a quick glance she looks up at Meredith. "What's Grey?" She asks. "You wanted an explanation for my behavior in the last few days!" Meredith stands in front of her boss and plays excitedly with her fingers. Dr. Bailey gets curious. "I hear ?!" Bailey looks up at her again, but this time her gaze remains on Meredith. "Well, how should I say that? The explanation is just behind the door! "She says and looks at Bailey with raised eyebrows. This does not understand and is surprised. "Who is behind the door?" She asks and gets up. "Maybe you should sit better!" Suggests Meredith. Bailey looks questioningly at Meredith. "Grey, what's going on?" Now she's getting a little nervous too. She looks at Meredith's hands that keep opening and closing. "You make me nervous. Don't do that! "Bailey asks Meredith. "Dr. Bailey, you should really, really sit down again! "Repeats Meredith. "I'm definitely not going to sit down. Now tell me what's going on here? "Bailey asks angrily and keeps staring at the door. "Well, I warned you! Don't tell me I wouldn't have told you! "Now Bailey raises her eyebrows and looks at Meredith in confusion. "Grey !?" Bailey gets angry. Meredith looks at the door. "George!" She calls out. Bailey's breath stops. A cold shiver runs down her back. Her heart starts to beat up to her neck and with big eyes she stares expectantly at the door. Slowly the door opens and George carefully enters the office. When Bailey recognizes him, she gasps.

She puts her hand on her racing heart and looks at him desperately. Her eyes fill with tears and her eyes are stunned. She puts her trembling hand in front of her face and extends her index finger a little. She tries to say something, struggles for the right words. "You, you ... .. that can't be?" She stutters in confusion and stares at him. "It's impossible, just impossible that ...!" She continues to stutter. She looks around and stumbles to the couch that stands on the glass wall. Shocked, she drops and continues to look at him. She still doesn't get a clear sentence, she can't even come up with a clear thought. George hesitantly walks up to her. "Dr. Bailey? Are you okay? "He asks concerned. "You, you ask me ... I don't think what I see, I don't understand that?" Bailey gets up quickly and is now standing directly in front of him. Shocked she looks at him, reaches for his hand and when she feels that he's real, really and no fiction shrinks her back. "I can't understand that, how can it be?" She asks. Her tears run from her eyes down her face. "George?" She asks. "George O'Malley?" She is speechless! And that happens very rarely at Bailey. She shakes her head in disbelief. "That's impossible! You are dead! We buried you! It just can't be !? "Her voice gets louder and she seems to be finding her language again. "It's a long story!" Tries to explain to George. "Then please tell me!" She asks him. "As I said, it's a really long story!" George repeats. Bailey looks briefly at the ground, she has to collect herself. Then she looks at him again. She takes her hand from her chest and just stares at him. For a few seconds without saying a word, the two face each other. Then suddenly Bailey opens her arms and falls around George's neck. Meredith is now running tears down her face too. George gently wraps his arms around Bailey and looks over her shoulders at Meredith. Surprised by her reaction and looking confused, he looks at Meredith. She just stands there and shrugs her shoulders. She is surprised herself. After a few seconds, Bailey releases her hug and sits back on the couch. Their whole body feels like it is energized. She is still breathing heavily and she has trouble putting her thoughts in order. Only now does she notice that tears are flowing from her eyes and tries to dry them with her hands. She simply cannot understand what is happening. It takes a few minutes for Dr. Bailey has calmed down so far that she is master of herself again. "Now tell me!" She asks George. "It was all a misunderstanding!" He begins to tell. Hours pass. It's already dark outside. Meredith is glad that she could persuade George to speak with Dr. Davids . She hopes things are going up now. George clearly took his story back with him. He is exhausted and happy when they finally get back home. Without dinner, he lies down on the couch and closes his eyes. Meredith has already put the children to bed and is still closing quickly. She looks at George lying in his makeshift bed and walks over to him. "George?" She asks. "Are you asleep already?" She asks further. He opens one eye and looks at her with a frown. "You know, I just thought of something!" She says and sits down with him. He slips his legs aside so that she has more space. "Amalia now has her own house and the room upstairs is now free! So if you want? " She looks at him with wide eyes. "Are you serious?" He asks. "Are you really asking me if I'll move back in here?" Meredith looks briefly at the ceiling and then looks at him again. "Yes I think so! I need help with the kids! Yes, I'm just asking you if you want to move in here. "She answers and smiles at him. George sits up. "Are you really serious?" He reassures himself. "Yes, that's it!" She pulls the blanket from him and gets up. "Come on! The bed is definitely more comfortable than the couch! "Meredith smiles." We also have our couch back now! "Jokes her as she climbs the stairs. George looks after her in surprise and gets up.
