Derek is still working away as Addison pleads with Mere to intervene. Mere orders Derek to look at her and tells him that Jen is gone, but they can save the baby. The vitals are dropping rapidly while Derek works away, and it takes all Meredith has to get Derek to look at her even for just a moment.
Campbell, Hunt and Richard are scrubbing out, and Campbell admits that she made a mistake and is sorry, but she's only human like they all are. She grandly concludes, "And for that, I do not apologize." Instead of a fitted surgeon's cap she's wearing what looks like a shower cap and it's not doing her crazy facial features any favors. Richard starts to speak but she cuts him off, saying there is no need to discuss it -- clearly she knows that things could wind up badly for her. Alex runs in to say they need Richard and while Richard tries to brush him off, Alex is urgent enough that agrees to come along. Hunt, alone with Campbell, admits that he was fired from the Army -- better known as an honorable discharge. "They knew it was my time even though I didn't. I'm grateful to them for that." Campbell looks stunned as Hunt leaves. I must say, that was a pretty awesome last word for this conversation.
Derek is dropping a piece of brain into a pan to a background soundtrack of alarms when Richard walks in. Like a kid going to mom and dad to mediate an argument, Addison tells him the baby is in distress and she needs to deliver. Derek single-mindedly repeats that the bleeding could stop and he could stabilize Jen, but taking the baby out will kill her. Addison sadly points out that she is already dead, but Derek still sternly orders her to wait. Addison repeats, "Most of her brain is gone. For all intents and purposes, she's dead." She then seems to have decided that discussion time is over, and has Alex page a team to let them know a preemie is coming. She then begins to cut and ignores Derek as he protests. Derek then asks for more blood, but Richard firmly tells him, "No more blood, Derek. No. More. Blood." I really wish I found Derek more sympathetic here, but with how this all unfolded I just think he's even more of a jackass.
