Lives can be lost.
Lives can be saved.
Relationships can be ruined because idiot Owens cannot get their shit together.
One Day Like This is a change-of-pace episode.
The episode consists almost entirely of scenes between two people, simply having long conversations.
We never see the inside of an OR this is all about human connection.
So, put your ferry-boat scrub cap away for the moment and lets have some heart-to-hearts.
We begin with Meredith.
This is Dr. Nick Marsh, transplant surgeon who recently had a kidney transplant himself.
Like, too recently to be flying from Minnesota and performing surgery recently.
It is charming and witty and honestly, has Meredith ever smiled this much?
Of course, the more chemistry these two had, the more I worried.
This isGreys Anatomy, people.
You know who else was onFelicity?
Scott Foley, who played Henry Burton onGreys.
He was a patient who fell in love with a doctor and look what happened to him.
Also, his sister ruined her life with drugs.
You guys, you know Meredith could never be with someone who hasnt suffered at least a little bit.
He is also in awe of her talent.
But most important, Meredith seems to really enjoy Nick.
Shed lay in a hammock all day.
Nick wants to know if theres room for him on that hammock.
Meredith doesnt get to answer anyway she finds a renal clot and Nick has to be rushed into surgery.
Weve reached the point of no return, people Im attached.
You saved my whole damn life, he tells her.
They smile and hold hands, but thats about it.
Nick is back off to Minnesota to recover.
Meredith meets Alex at the bar and tells him about the smart, funny, hot doctor she saved.
She tells him how she felt things she hasnt felt since Derek.
Maybe they will look how much already changed in just 24 hours.
Shes the girl at the bar again.
Shes reminding us how much changed that day.
Speaking of the bar, where should we find April Kepner but completely passed out there after another bender.
And now Elis skin is falling off.
Yes, its gross.
April, Jackson, and Bailey all know Eli will most likely die.
Bailey wants to help, but April reams Bailey out Elis death is on her.
It is very harsh.
Some she even got fired for!
April stays with Eli as his condition deteriorates and he waits for his wife, Elise, to arrive.
Eli knows two things: Hes dying and Aprils in pain.
He wants to help her thats his job after all.
She is reluctant, but eventually he gets to her.
Shes not mad at Bailey for her mistake shes mad at God.
Shes mad that shes done everything right, followed all of his rules, and still suffers.
Eli is like,Uh, girl, have you even read the Old Testament?
Most of the people in there follow Gods rules and still suffer.
Faith when things are good is easy, faith during times of hardship is real.
The world is broken, but we need to work to fix it.
It all hits April and she is sobbing, finally admitting to the pain shes been feeling.
On the bright side, it seems like April is on the road to recovery.
Is Dark April gone for good?
The third story of this 24-hour-feelings-explosion belongs to Owen, who flies to Germany to surprise Teddy.
Owen even suggests moving to Germany!
What a happy ending that would be.
And then things take a turn.
Things always take a turn.
She also figures out that Amelia said this to him after they had sex.
Teddy is having absolutely none of this.
She delivers some harsh truths to Owen: He is incapable of being alone.
He feels compelled to be in a relationship to mask just how sad he is inside.
He only came to Germany because his marriage is over.
He strung her along before and she wont fall for it again.
She refuses to be a consolation prize.
Of course, Owen returns the favor.
He tells Teddy that shes scared of being happy.
That shell never risk getting hurt to be in love.
He even invokes the ghost of Henry, which, like, be better than that Owen.
Theyve done her dirty too many times!
Go eat your roast chicken and be happy!
