I run out to the ambulance bay to meet Meredith and Owen.

Meredith: I tell my children, when you're finished with your toys, put them away. And my kids don't need to see your penis, so the same goes for you.

Owen: Meredith, please.

I tilt my head in confusion and giggle as I approach the ambulance.

Savannah: what have we got?

Paramedic: Leo Paulson, 76, fell down a flight of stairs. Initially complaining of back pain.

Vincent: is he gonna be alright? Mr. Paulson was coming back from his morning walk, and he tripped coming up the steps in the lobby. I was almost able to catch him, but I-I-I just missed.

Owen: and you are?

Vincent: uh, Vincent. I'm, uh– I'm Mr. Paulson's doorman.

Savannah: okay, well, let's get him inside.

We start wheeling him to a trauma room and we assess him.

Meredith: obvious contusion and step-off in the lower thoracic.

Vincent: Dr. Grey, if– if it helps, uh, these are his medications and what paperwork I could find.

Meredith: oh, thank you. This is very helpful. Thank you.

Then, a woman walks into the room.

Mrs. Paulson: Leo.

Vincent: oh, Mrs. Paulson, you got my message.

Mrs. Paulson: Vincent, thank God you were there. How is he?

Meredith: he is stable for now, and I will keep you updated, but I have to ask both of you to step outside, please.

They nod and leave the room.

Meredith: Wilson, would you chart these for me? Good service.

I nod in agreement.

-later-

Jackson is sitting in the imaging room with Meredith and I doing notes while Mer and I are looking through Leo's scans. Callie walks into the room as Jackson placed my feet on his lap.

Callie: hey.

Meredith: hey.

Savannah: hey, Cal.

Jackson: hey, Torres.

Callie: spinal fracture?

Savannah: mhmm. T-10. You available?

Callie: yeah, that's not too bad. I can do a, uh, spinal fusion with a bone graft. Meredith, Savannah, can I ask you something?

Meredith: sure.

Savannah: what's up?

Callie: okay, um...

Just then, Owen walks in.

Owen: are these Leo's scans?

Savannah: mhmm. We were just discussing the surgical plan.

Meredith: you know this morning... I saw Owen's junk. It was untucked.

Owen: Meredith.

Jackson and I start laughing.

Callie: no. Where?

Meredith: in the living room. He was hanging out with Amelia.

Owen: can we not, please?

Meredith: it's fine. You should just take it upstairs next time.

Owen: there won't be a next time. If I know Amelia, it won't happen again until it does.
