Meredith is in the hall outside of Richard' s room on the phone. |
|
Meredith: I know but something came up, an important surgery and I couldn' t. |
|
Ms. Henry: I' m just sorry you couldn' t be there for your mother. |
|
Meredith: Ms. Henry, if my mother were lucid, she would understand. She' s a surgeon. She' s done this countless times. And besides that, she doesn' t even know who I am, anyway, so... |
|
Ms. Henry: Today she did. |
|
Meredith: What? |
|
Ms. Henry: Your mother' s been asking when her daughter Meredith gets off from work. |
|
Derek walks up |
|
Derek: Hey. |
|
Meredith: Hey. A lot of secret phone calls today. Yeah, it' s my mother. She isn' t traveling. She isn' t writing a book. She isn' t anything. I' ve been lying to everyone. |
|
Derek: Why? |
|
Meredith: She has Alzheimer' s. |
|
Derek: How advanced? |
|
Meredith: Very. She' s in a home and I' m the only one who even knows she' s sick. I just don' t know what to do anymore, you know? |
|
He kisses her forehead and smoothes her hair. Richard wakes up and this is the first thing he sees |
