- Richard is given a rare case for his birthday, given by Bailey. Catherine Avery returns to try to talk sense into Jackson for marrying April.
- It's Webber's birthday, but Hunt seems to have forgotten. He wants to talk to Webber later about his surgical schedule. Webber thinks it's a surprise party. Hunt hands Webber a brochure about whether it's time to retirement. He's not pleased. He tosses it in the trash.
A new bioengineer is giddy to use the 3-D printer as part of Meredith's experiment, but she says there's a lot of research he has to do before he touches anything. Meredith leaves Stephanie to keep an eye on him.
Shane is talking to the parents of a 4-year-old boy who has had two previous conduit failures. They're excited to get him into Cristina and Shane's work, but he says they're going to have to analyze their criteria. Cristina is looking only at the data and scans of the candidates' hearts so she can keep her feelings out of it. Hunt comes in and sees what she's doing, and she suggests to him that he use such a scientific criteria to find a mate. He says that's basically Internet dating.
Catherine Avery shows up and, as April notices, "she does not look happy." Jackson hasn't told his mother about their marriage.
Bailey treats a man named Greg who's suffered stomach pain for 10 years and just went to the hospital. His wife is worried he has cancer. Bailey finds something but tells Leah to get the man to CT and to speak to no one about the case.
Callie has gone to Hunt about an "intellectual property conflict." Paula, Callie's lawyer, is in the conference room with Hunt and Callie, and Derek has been summoned there for a chat.
Bailey giddily looks at Greg's "glorious" scan. Leah is excited, too. Meredith walks in, sees the scan, and gets excited. Bailey says they should page Webber because it's his birthday. We don't yet know what "it" is.
Shane gets an unexpected "candidate" for the conduit trial. She's a 17-year-old girl named Shirl, and insists she's a pediatric patient and should qualify. She's pregnant, due in six weeks, and wants a heart that's going to survive labor.
Webber is annoyed when called in to see the scan, not knowing what it is. But he's as excited as everyone else when he realizes that Greg has "absorbed his own twin" -- he has a spinal column and feeding tube inside his stomach.
Alex has shown Jo the "love contract" that Meredith gave him. She thinks it's "creepy." Arizona comes over and tells Alex about a procedure they have to do on a kid to fix the kid's reflux without leaving a scar. Jo says it sounds fun, but she won't sign the love contract that could get her back to work in pediatrics with Alex.
Greg is surprised to know he's absorbed his twin. Greg is amazed and needs a moment to process that he has a brother -- he asks everyone to stop calling it "it."
Shane is trying to explain to Shirl why she can't get the procedure and her water breaks. She asks him to get Cristina to bend the rules. Shane tries, but Cristina says Shirl is too old. She doesn't want to know details about the patient. She only wants to see the heart, and it has to still be growing in a kid who is between 1 and 12.
Callie is accusing Derek of taking over the sensors and that if he prevents her access to them she will have him "prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law." Hunt asks if he can take it to the other board members to figure something out.
Catherine wants Jackson to contact the family's lawyer because she doesn't know what April is capable of doing. Catherine tells April that when she entered into the family she signed a prenuptial agreement. Jackson is upset at his mother's line of conversation. She hands him a post-nuptial agreement and he hands it back, saying, "this meeting is over."
April tells Jackson she doesn't mind, but he doesn't want her signing anything. He is still upset that his mom is barging in and dictating terms, but April is fine with extending an olive branch. Jackson wants to let his mom stew for a while.
Stephanie is jealous as Leah is showing her the scans of the fetus inside Greg while she (Stephanie) is stuck babysitting the bioengineer. Leah takes off for the surgery.
Webber is showing interns and residents the scans of Greg's fetus when Hunt comes up and says he wants to see. Webber orders him to go to the back of the line, which is extending down the hall. Webber starts explaining how they're going to remove the fetus but Greg declares, "We're not taking him out." He's decided that his twin is so rare he wants to keep him. Greg says he won't sign the consent.
Cristina is still trying to find Hunt a woman online. Alex tells Meredith that Jo isn't going to sign the "stupid" love contract. Callie and Arizona show up at the cafeteria and tells Meredith that she hates Derek. Meredith gets a page and takes off. Webber and Bailey tell her Greg doesn't want to get rid of his fetus. Webber says he'll fix it, but he doesn't know how he's going to convince Greg.
Shirl is in pain and Shane doesn't want to tell her that Cristina said no to letting her get a conduit. Shirl tells Shane that she was told she'd be dead by 15, so she left school, hitchhiked and had sex. She says she's having the baby because she thought she was going to die, but now that she has it she wants to live. She asks Shane to bring Cristina in.
Jo is working on Webber's post-ops instead of working in pediatrics. She still refuses to sign the contract. Arizona comes and tells her their patient is ready for their cool, cutting-edge procedure. He takes the contract back and leaves Jo in the room with her sleeping patient.
Derek is trying to convince Callie to share the brain sensor technology. He goes to a white board and starts to diagram how the White House project is going to work. She's annoyed, though, and says he's just trying to make his thing sound more important than her work. She draws her own diagram, putting Derek at the center of everything because he thinks he's the center of the universe.
Cristina comes to Shirl's room. Cristina is surprised Shane has brought her to see Shirl, because they've already talked about her. Cristina listens to Shirl's heart and tells her she has a slight murmur but she'll be fine and her doctors will page Cristina is she's needed. She pulls Shane out of the room and tells him he was "out of line." She tells Shane not to get so emotionally involved because it's going to make his job harder when he has to tell her no.
Webber tries to talk Greg into removing the fetus, but Greg -- who had previously mentioned he collects old junk -- says he's not going to toss his little treasure. Greg's wife tries to talk him out of keeping it, but Webber suddenly takes Greg's side, agreeing that people do toss others away too easily. Webber says he's not going to do that. Webber tells Greg he'll promise to keep the fetus in a jar so he can take it home with him.
Callie and Derek continue arguing, but he stops her by telling her she doesn't have a case because his name is on the material and the patents. He tells her "as your friend" that he's sorry and feels terrible. She tells him he feels terrible because he's a good person doing something he knows is "100 percent wrong."
Cristina is annoyed when Hunt tells her he hasn't done his online dating profile. She sits down and starts doing it for him. He starts describing the woman he's looking for as having all the attributes Cristina has, adding, "there's a billion people out there, but I imagine there's only one of her."
April and Jackson come to a conference room where Catherine is waiting. April says she's happy to sign the document. She says she doesn't have a pen, but Jackson explains that she'll have to consult a lawyer to review it and the Avery family's lawyer will also review it. Next, Catherine wants to talk about babies, their proposed religious tradition. Catherine starts to outline all the doings of the Avery Foundation and its $480 million in charitable donations. She starts asking about whether their children will be against abortion or stem-cell research, which the foundation helps fund. She doesn't think they've give a moment's thought to all of this.
Bailey, Webber, Leah and Meredith are operating on Greg and noticing all the body parts and organs the fetus has. Meredith tells Bailey that Webber promised Greg he could take it home with him and Webber justifies that decision by saying Greg should get to keep it rather than hiding it away in some basement or keeping it inside him. Stephanie had come in and asked Meredith if the bioengineer could print something on the 3-D printer and Meredith said no.
Jackson is yelling at his mother about her meddling in this and everything else in his life. April stands up and shouts herself about how there are many things they'll have to figure out. April says there will be a way to figure them out. She says they did make a huge mess, they hurt Matthew, Stephanie and Catherine. April says that if their kid went off and got married without telling her, she'd kill them with her own hands. April says she'll spend countless years trying to make it up to Catherine. April tells Jackson to go apologize to his mom. He walks around the table and tells his mom he's sorry. She playfully slaps him on the chest and says he could have used his grandmother's cake topper.
Shane comes into Shirl's room while she's in labor. Shirl wants someone to call her mom. Shane stands with Shirl and coaches her thought the final pushes until the baby is born.
Derek video conferences with Lloyd, his contact in Washington, D.C., and starts to tell him about how he and Callie developed the sensors together. Lloyd, who can't get the video conference to work and can't see Derek, with Callie sitting next to him, turns the camera around to introduce him to a bunch of important people from the White House and the NIH. Derek makes a little speech about how the exclusivity the White House is requiring is fundamentally wrong and stifles innovation. Derek says that if they can't agree to share the sensors, he can't work on the project. Lloyd is annoyed, and says that they'll have to figure out a way to share. Callie jumps up, pumps her fists and gives Derek a big hug. Derek thanks Lloyd, who asks Derek for a plan for the sensors and says Callie should continue her work with them.
Webber, Bailey and Leah come to Greg's room and he wants the fetus. Leah hands him a small bucket. Greg flips open the lid, sees what's inside and screams, "Oh my God! That's horrible! Thank you for taking that out of me! Take that away." Webber and Bailey laugh as they leave the room, with Webber carrying the bucket. He says he's keeping it as a birthday present. Then he asks Bailey about meeting later for what he thinks is a party. She says she feels bad and invites him to come with her and Ben to dinner. He says he was just joking and tells her to have fun.
Meredith comes into the lab and finds Stephanie and Eric printing something. Meredith says she's "failed" her experiment by hiding it in a basement. She's getting serious about it.
Shane breaks the news to Shirl that she still can't be part of the conduit trial because she doesn't meet the criteria. She cries. He tells her to call her mom because she's probably worried about her.
Catherine and Webber head out on a date and she says she's proud of Jackson for standing up for his love. Webber seems bummed and tells Catherine that Hunt is trying to push him into retirement. He seems to be considering it, but Catherine tells him she wants to start the next part of her life with him. Webber kisses her. She tells him to smile and act surprised. They walk inside a restaurant and everyone is there for a surprise.
Cristina shows Hunt some women who are interested in him online. He says he's going to talk to Webber and then they can get out of there together.
Alex brings the love contract to Jo and says he just wants to be able to kiss her whenever and wherever he wants to. She signs it.
April tells Jackson that it's important to her that her kids have Christian beliefs. She also feels it's important that her kids are comfortable around livestock.
Hunt continues with the conversation about Webber's surgical schedule. Webber is upset at first, but Hunt says he wants to name him director of the educational arm at the hospital because he brings something to teaching that Hunt knows he can't bring himself. Shane makes a toast and says he wouldn't be there if it weren't Webber. Glasses clink and Webber thanks everyone, sits back down and tells Hunt he'll "think about it."
