Smash finds Cristina and excitedly tells her that in Japan, doctors are making conduits seeded with a patient's own cells so that their bodies won't reject them. He thinks that they could do this for baby Nathan, but Cristina is skeptical. However, he has an answer for each of her protests: he has printed out all of the Japan studies for her to review, and scheduled all of the various tests they need to find out if Nathan is a candidate. Cristina is still doubtful and tells him they'd also have to file for a compassionate release from the FDA, since this is experimental. Smash tells her he'll begin that process and asks her to just consider it. When she looks through a window at the heartbroken parents, she finally agrees.
April sees Matthew in the ambulance bay and runs out to talk to him. He's all excited -- does he think they're about to have sex up against his rig right then? April tells him that she wants their first time to be amazing and to feel right, and that she'd prefer if they had committed to each other in front of God before having sex. He'd still like to do it now, and has her pushed up against his rig while he kisses her knowing that this will maybe start to change her mind a little. He tells her he is going to love her for the rest of his life and he's sure God knows that, and she's horny and kind of torn and finally agrees to it. He's the happiest little boy in the world.
As Bailey and Princess are working, Bailey continues to be super hard on her about every move she's making, warning her that if she's not careful she'll cut the guy's bowel and cause spillage, and you don't ever want those two words in the same sentence. Princess is fine, but Bailey finally takes the job from her and starts working herself. She's so busy feeling for something, sure she's doing a better job, that she doesn't hear Princess yelling at her at first: "Spillage!" The camera angle and light go all funny again as Bailey retreats into her own head but she finally snaps back to reality and they get to cleaning up the mess. She seems anything but okay, however.
They get the guy's insides washed out and patched up, but Bailey makes them continue to rinse many more times and she insists that they have to close him up immediately. Ben, in his best Soothing Voice, coaches Bailey to take it one step at a time and reassures her that this was a routine complication and that they got everything under control. He asks her if she's okay, and she stands, pulling on one finger nervously for a while before getting back to work.
