They all realize she is going on a lunch date and all Meredith knows is to go with no preconceived notions. She asks Alex what is the minimum amount of time she has to spend if she hates him on sight? He says 30 minutes, but she places bets and thanks him for making it fun.
Maggie and DeLuca work on Natalie Forrester (Kimberly Christian), who as soon as she is revived needs to have her son, Max with her because if he doesn’t know what is going on, he gets scared. She passes out in front of him as Maggie books an OR immediately.

Meredith seems to be enjoying her lunch. He is a software guy who is actually making her smile.
Alex tells Julius he needs to do surgery, but he refuses and orders Alex not to call his mom or he will sue them. Alex says he is 18 and they have to discharge him in spite of it being against medical advice. Jo finds Alex and feels he owes her an apology from last night, thinking she would want sex from him to get something from the chief, as all she wants is orgasms. She is completely unaware that Dr. Richard Webber (James Pickens Jr.) is standing right behind her as she said it.
Amelia is waiting for the drug test and Schmitt finally returns with a urine sample, misunderstanding that it was for Betty to take; not him! Betty is furious, but Amelia figures if she isn’t lying it shouldn’t be a big deal.
Meredith is having a great conversation, she makes a call to work to shift things around. John admits to Meredith that the woman at the bar is the one he was actually supposed to be on the date with; Meredith giggles thinking she must be on her date with “her John.” They both laugh out loud.
Julius continues his breathing as Alex talks to Richard, who reminds him that being chief is being backed in a corners and finding creative ways of getting out. Alex says he is quitting and Richard can have the position; Richard says no, he has to kick its ass.
Bailey checks both Miller and Andy before they can leave back on the ambulance. Dean wants to know if Maggie is single. She wants to know if it was the best way to use resources by letting Warren and Hughes be the first to enter the fire, suggesting they might want to protect those hands.
Both Meredith and John send their messages to the dates they were supposed to meet, spelling words wrong. They watch as the others laugh it off and just like that, they are yesterday’s news. Together, they escape the restaurant unnoticed.
Amelia admits to Owen she doesn’t know how to raise a teenager. Owen hopes he has turns out okay but as he talks about parenting, Amelia walks away. Maggie finds Max hiding under her desk and she has him sit down. She sits down in front of him and begins to tell him in technical terms but once again, his father interrupts them, saying Max hides when he gets scared. Maggie confronts him, saying he probably gets that from him and suggests that Max needs to be prepared for what is to come with his mother. He feels that slim chance is still a chance and tells Maggie not to speak to his son.
Qadri is trying to stop Julius from leaving. He knows he can’t be treated for a preexisting condition, so Alex says he wants to check him over before they release him. He takes a scalpel and cuts him, saying he has a chest wound and doesn’t understand how they missed it. Alex says this is covered under insurance and anything else they find in there. Qadri says she has to report this, he says, “you just told the chief!”

DeLuca takes Max up to the rooftop, where he gets to see the ocean, he knows his dad is lying. DeLuca explains how his mom died and his sister wouldn’t tell him until she was with him to hold him. Max freaks out and begins running on the roof believing his mom is already dead. Max runs into the elevator and closes the door before DeLuca could reach him.
Meredith returns to the hospital, Andy thinks she looks nice. Maggie hates people, revealing that the dad is lying to his kid about his mom dying. She wants to know from Amelia how when she sees a disaster coming, and break patient confidentiality, should she do it? Andy says it really isn’t her business. Meredith says the date went horribly because at the end he says he hates kids and finds single mothers desperate. Amelia tells her not to give up; Andy says she dodged a bullet.
DeLuca desperately searches the hospital, stops long enough to tell Carina she is a good sister and rushes off again to find Max. Richard and Alex work on saving Julius as he explains how he will tell the ethics committee how he saved his sister’s life by stealing a car because an ambulance cost too much money.
Betty admits she had been smoking weed, Amelia grounds her, tells her she needs to go to meetings, attend school and after 1 month they will talk. Betty calls them “lame!” and both Amelia and Owen smile at being called that.
Julius knows Alex stabbed him for him to get the surgery but his mom will be crazy happy that he got the surgery covered. Alex promises he won’t get in trouble since he is the chief. He apologizes to Jo for calling her a “hooker”. He says he didn’t used those exact words. As they head to the elevator, she recognizes a voice and is thrilled to see Linc, who calls her “Brooke” and they rush into each others arms.
Bailey wants Maggie to keep her posted about Natalie’s condition and him not telling Max. Maggie doesn’t think Max should be surprised like that and he deserves a heads up. She is still venting about Jackson and blurts out to Meredith that Dr. Teddy Altman (Kim Raver) is pregnant with Owen’s baby and she just broke protocol by telling her and neither Owen nor Amelia knows. DeLuca informs them Max is lost; he is seen running to the streets.
THE END!
