season 14 ep 8
Out of Nowhere
The last thing Chelsea's Garcia had expected to happen when Meredith Grey came over to her apartment was that the two would end up sleeping together. Stone cold sober. They didn't even get the chance to open the tequila before they'd ended up in the interns bedroom. To say Chelsea was on cloud nine was an understatement.
"So" Jo says leading the interns around the hospital "Just know that I'm here for you. I will lead and support you. And in return, you will not be stupid or slow or... make me look bad"
"Wilson, who do you got for me?0 Maggie asks
"Oh, okay. Uh... Parker, you're on cardio with Pierce" Jo replies
"I have a splenectomy, and I need a couple hands" Meredith says as every intern other than Chelsea and Schmitt raises their hand eagerly
"I said try not to embarrass me" Jo says making them all shut up
"Garcia and Glasses, you're with me" Meredith decides

"Judy Kemp, 45, admitted for a laparoscopic diagnostic splenectomy for idiopathic splenomegaly" Chelsea reads from the chart
"Idiopathic"? What's that mean?" Judy asks
"It just means we can't figure out why you have an enlarged spleen" Meredith answers
"So you're the idiopaths, not me" Judy jokes
"Well, it's not a thing a person can be" Schmitt says
Meredith's smile fades "It's... It's a joke, Schmitt"
"I-Is the surgery gonna make my stomach feel better, hon?" Judy asks Meredith
"Yes" the blonde replies
"Well, then, I'm all for it. Let's kick this idiopath to the curb" Judy jokes again
"That doesn't quite work, either" Schmitt says
"Stop talking" Chelsea hisses
...
"Dr. Grey, I just wanted to say thank you for choosing me today" Schmitt says to the blonde as the three doctors leave Judy's room
"Well, I chose you two because you were the only ones who didn't suck up, so don't ruin it now" Meredith replies
"It's hard when your reputation precedes you and people only see you in terms of "the legend." Schmitt says
"Schmitt!" Meredith exclaims "Do you think we're friends? I'm a surgeon, and you hand me things. You don't get to talk about my "legend"
"No, no! Not y-yours. I meant mine" the intern clarifies "I just feel like I'm always gonna be the guy who dropped his glasses in a person. Not yours. Y-Yours is great. Your legend is legend... Right. No. G-Got it... not friends" he trails off when Meredith gives him a harsh glare "I'm gonna go"
"Are we friends?" Chelsea questions the blonde with a grin
Meredith smiles at her "You know we're not" she says
