Derek and Jackson accost Harvey again right outside Richard's room – he had a scan and they confirmed that the cause of the twitch is just what Derek thought it was. Harvey is skeptical and kind of nervous but the guys try and sell him on it and are backed up by Richard. Harvey is less than receptive to what a patient has to say until Richard calls out his credentials. They all turn to leave but Leah stops Jackson to say she's worried about their patient who needs that drain removed ASAP. Jackson dismissively tells her he'll take care of it after Harvey's surgery. Richard then whistles to Leah as if she's a dog, and much like a dog he wants her to hang out at the foot of his bed and gaze at him adoringly while he tells her the end of his story from earlier.
April and Arizona are hanging out in the lounge, and April is moaning about how sexually frustrated she is because she does actually know full well what she's missing. She wants Arizona to help her out with some good advice about waiting, since Arizona shut things down with Leah. It's a good time for Arizona to admit that she, in fact, did quite the opposite, and the sex was "awesome." April is so overcome by the idea of other people getting to have sex that she has to leave.
Alex and Mere begin their surgery, and as they take out the tumors they mark each one with an x on a monitor nearby. Alex exposits that like a typical teenager, Will ignored the symptoms and didn't ask for help so that when he finally was diagnosed with cancer, he was already at stage 4. Hmm, this sounds a little like a particular best friendship I can think of. Mere insists that the good thing is, because he's a teenager, he's strong and can beat this. She then puffs up her chest and declares that he's also got the benefit of being in HER OR, and she's standing there at the forefront of medicine and can apparently now do anything. Alex is not impressed.
Leah and Smash have gone to marvel at the printer, though Leah isn't very impressed by the blob she sees even when Stephanie says that it's an anatomical model of a liver with a working portal vein. Smash is reading the manual and suddenly exclaims when he finds what he was looking for, though he plays it down when the girls ask what is up. Leah asks how long the liver is going to take and Steph says it will be another 10-12 hours.
Callie isn't even trying to make her personal questions seem job-related -- when she asks Emma about her typical Saturday, Emma assumes it's because she'll have to work weekends and assumes Callie that she expects this and doesn't mind at all. Callie explains that she really wants to know what "feeds [her] soul." And by that she means, does Emma want kids? Emma stutters that she's not sure Callie is allowed to legally ask that question, and fortunately Callie backs right off and apologizes profusely. With a grin, though, Emma leans in conspiratorially and over Callie's protestations admits that if she ever does have kids, she always imagined having two daughters, like you can put in an order for what you want. Callie grins, and when Owen pops his head in to nervously ask how it is going both ladies give him the thumbs up and Callie mouths, "Love her!" when Emma's head is turned.
