Just when you think Meredith is going to finally choose DeLuca after that steamy interlude in the elevator, Thor walks in and makes a move by saving a patient and a birthday party in the span of an afternoon. Okay, comparing Link to Thor might be a stretch when he’s in scrubs and without a hammer, but you can’t deny the muscles. No wonder all the kids at the superhero-themed birthday party are psyched that the Norse god paid them a visit.
Before Link works his magic educating Meredith on the ins and outs of Marvel characters, he almost annoys her to death in the ER. A woman falls from a balcony and sustains multiple injuries. One of them is a broken pelvis and Link is ready to rush her to the OR without stabilizing her pelvis. Meredith hates this idea but has to go along with it since he’s Mr. Ortho.
There’s a lot of panic and arguing over this poor woman’s exposed abdomen. Meredith barks instructions to everyone in the room. This is a teaching hospital after all. She chastises Link for being lazy and rhetorically asks how he ever managed to become a doctor? His good buddy Jo responds for him, explaining that he was a cancer kid. Link answers that he worked his ass off like all the other doctors and would appreciate a little respect thankyouverymuch.
Then he fixes the woman’s pelvis, careful to teach the young ones around him that stabilizing this woman’s pelvis in the ER would have caused further internal damage. SUCK IT DR. GREY.
Shining in the OR is a weak spot for Meredith, but there’s no time to explore these squishy feelings. She must find someone to help her understand the intricacies of a superhero birthday party that is happening in the next half hour. Lo and behold, Link knows a thing or two about comics, kids, and the fact that “the” goes in front of Hulk.
The kids absolutely love Link and Meredith notices. In fact, she’s so enamored with Bachelor Number Two that she misses a text message from Bachelor Number One. DeLuca will have to drink alone tonight. Meredith is too busy with Thor chugging wine out of a paper cup.
DeLuca is riding a high from a very successful solo surgery. (Does that make him Superman?) This storyline was by far the most dramatic of them all. It, too, involves abdominal distress. And Owen nearly dying.
A woman named Claire comes into the ER with two kids. She complains of flu-like symptoms and is not eager to stay, but Owen makes her get a CT scan, thanks to tenderness in her belly. She rolls her eyes and points to Owen’s IV pole. You see, Owen is sick, too, but insists on walking around with fluids since the ER is crazy busy and he is addicted to trauma. Haters gonna hate. Don’t mess with a man and his drip.
The CT scan shows that Claire’s bowels are inflamed and could burst at any minute. Why? Because homegirl took some old antibiotics and her body responded by nearly killing her. Lesson learned, people. Just say no to grandma’s old drugs in the medicine cabinet.
Claire is rushed to the OR. DeLuca and Schmidt gather around as Owen lays out a plan. Soon we hear, “Oops!” and Owen notices that the anesthesiologist accidentally put the drugs in his IV instead of Claire’s IV. (Recap continued on next page)
Meredith. Alex. Bailey. Arizona. The doctors are definitely in on Shonda Rhimes’ hospital melodrama.
