Yang returns to the surgery with the Major's magical bag. He pulls out a bottle and dumps a bunch of white powder onto the dude's insides. This isn't FDA approved but it works miracles and will buy them some time. Everyone is impressed by how quickly it begins to work. Except for Yang, who can't see because in the Major's OR she is a total outsider. Not FDA approved huh? Can't imagine why you are ranked #12. This reminds me of that scene in Waterboy where he drinks the magical water, only dumber.

Bailey comes to tell Izzie and Mama the results of the scan. She tells them that they are completely gone and that Mama's psychic was right. Mama is thrilled and super sweet. She cries and hugs Izzie, who can tell that Bailey is completely lying. When Mama goes into the bathroom, Bailey tells Izzie that there are more mets than before, but vows to be as aggressive as possible until every met is gone. Bailey is playing the role of Izzie's mom, because while Izzie's mom is adorable and loves her deeply, Izzie needs someone calm and serious to get through this. And I think when you are dying of cancer, you are granted the right to be as selfish as you want. I do think that Mama Stephens is kind of a dumbass though. I mean...your daughter has decorated her hospital room and brought her own sheets. Surely you have to realize this is a little more than skin cancer.

Derek follows up with the Chief to discuss Meredith. The Chief insists that he is professional when it comes to Meredith and that he never acted like he was her father. Derek then outlines all the times that was untrue:
1. Not making Derek chief because he was dating her
2. Paging Meredith to try on dresses
3. Paging Meredith to come talk to her dad
4. Telling Meredith about Derek's ring
5. Sending Meredith to the woods to come and get Derek

He completely calls out the Chief of being a total hypocrite because he may not think of himself as Grey's dad, but he definitely treats her like family.

Upon hearing that the dad made it through miraculous surgery, Grey approaches the mom one more time. The Chief and Derek both try to intervene, but Grey isn't there to fight. She apologizes for interfering but she just wants the little girl to have a better life story than, I shot my dad 17 times, I mean that's more than 50 cent. She walks away and dramatically tells the Chief that she'll pack her shiz.

Willow wakes up to find Kellie Martin post surgery. Kellie has jumped onto Willow's wagon and tells her that she filed suit against the people who bulldozed her for $10 million. Not gonna lie, I think I'd break every bone in my body for ten mil. If they paid for my medical expenses too. This bravery makes Torres stand by her decision to tell her family the truth. She's not going to lie because her family should love her for who she is.

The Chief finds Meredith packing her stuff in the resident's room. The Chief begins to tell Mer he knows she doesn't like him, but he has something to say. He saw Meredith spend her whole life being neglected and he didn't defend her. He was wrong to do that. Someone should have stood up for her. Maybe she wouldn't be so disturbed now if someone had. The Chief apologizes and definitely hit a nerve with Meredith. Meredith, maybe for the first time ever lets her guard down. She begins to cry and lays her head on the Chief's shoulder as he apologizes over and over again. It's actually super sweet.

The heartwarming continues as the Stephens ladies lie in Izzie's bed. Mama tells Izzie that she'll stay if Izzie wants, and that she'll come back whenever Izzie needs. She says something to Izzie that screams lifetime movie: "You always were too good for that trailer park, I always knew that."
