Everyone Comes to Adam for Treatment

Medical Center.

The test results were exactly as Adam had diagnosed. Meredith wasn't pregnant—she had appendicitis.

And while they waited.

Meredith couldn't stand the pain, so she had Cristina give her some morphine.

Then she turned into a happy idiot.

Not only did she tell Finn and Dr. Shepherd, who had come to see her, that as a mature woman, she wanted them both, but she also blurted out the unpleasant history she had with George.

The scene became explosively awkward.

She was the only one giggling happily.

After Adam removed her appendix and the drug wore off, she regained consciousness, saw the two men beside her, and smiled blissfully.

This was exactly the scene from her dreams.

But to her utter surprise, the scene lasted only a few seconds before Dr. Shepherd sincerely wished her and Finn well, nearly breaking into song.

"The love you want is something I can't learn. Breaking up is another kind of understanding. The last tenderness I can give you is letting go."

AKA, love whoever you want. This old man isn't playing with you anymore!

Meredith was dumbfounded.

She had clearly overplayed her hand.

Dr. Shepherd left with a smile.

Then, after reflecting painfully, Meredith "honestly" recognized herself for who she was. She proactively gave Finn, who had never abandoned her, the good-person card, broke up with him, and tearfully bid him farewell.

Emmm.

She had understood Dr. Shepherd's smile. Wanting both of them was nothing but a fool's dream.
