The brief synopsis for episode 8 posted on Carter Matt stated, “A difficult surgery brings back pivotal memories for Meredith (Ellen Pompeo), Richard (James Pickens, Jr.), Owen (Kevin McKidd) and Stephanie (Jerrika Hinton), as they work together to save a life.”

The promo opened with Meredith and the rest of the doctors racing to save a patient’s life in the operating room. She and Richard are then seen having an argument with Richard saying, “We need to discuss the options,” to which Meredith responds, “No, we don’t.”

It seems that the two are caught in a power struggle as they perform the surgery with Owen and Stephanie. Meredith also gets into an argument with Owen when he says, “My patient is fighting for his life.” Meredith insists, “He is not your patient!”
