Meredith's about six years old, and riding a carousel. She yells, "Mommy!" and tries to wave. Her mother, however, is not paying attention, because she's standing near the carousel arguing with Richard Webber. We only hear snippets of their conversation, but it's clear that Ellis is begging him to leave his wife, and Webber is refusing to do so. He wrenches himself from her grasp, and Ellis wails, "Richaaaaard!" Of course, little Meredith hears all of this no matter where she is on the ride. The flashback ends, and...

Webber is in his office at the hospital. He tells Adele, "You didn't have to make an appointment to see me, I'm your husband." Adele says an appointment seemed to be the best way to get his undivided attention, because here he is. She's pissed, and tells him to sit down. Webber doesn't wanna -- he's acting like he's super-busy so they don't have to talk. Adele shouts, "SIT DOWN!" She smoothes out her sweater and then sweetly reminds him, "We have an appointment." Hee. Unfortunately, Bailey walks in just then to tell Webber that the couple that came in this morning? Derek just finished a craniotomy on the wife, but the husband has severe flu symptoms, swollen lymph nodes, buboes. The word "buboes" makes me kind of nauseated. Turns out the Toussaints came in contact with..."the plague?" finishes Webber. Bailey nods. Webber tells Adele he's sorry, but he really has to go take care of this. Adele makes a face like, "I KNOW you did not just SAY that." Alas, he did.

Addison arrives to greet the parents of the four girls who may or may not have birthed a baby in a high school bathroom stall. She introduces herself, then says she needs to know immediately whose baby it is, because he has an emergent blood condition. The four prospects, who are extremely young and cute and dressed in plaid uniforms, look up guiltily at Addison. One of the parents says they'd all like to know whose baby it is, too, and commands her daughter, "Sarah. Talk." Sarah says she don't know nothin' about birthin' no baby. Another girl says that none of them do. Addie wonders how that is, since otherwise they wouldn't be sitting here. One of the mothers says the principal said they were the last ones in the bathroom before the baby was found. The parents all start talking at once: they don't want the police involved, blah blah, one of the girls better confess, etc. One mother asks why they can't just do DNA tests, so the rest of them can get out of there. Addison sighs and explains that DNA results take days, and she's not really all that concerned about getting the rest of them out of there. "If this baby isn't treated, he is going to die." She says she can do vaginal exams on each of the girls, but one of the mothers screeches, "My daughter is fourteen years old! She's not sexually active, and I won't have you violating her body!" Lord. One of the dads says Addison has his consent to do whatever it takes to clear his Lisa's name. Addison turns to the girls. "A child's life is in jeopardy here." She says it's not the parents' consent she needs. The girls are silent. One of them finally speaks up, repeating that they didn't do anything wrong. Another one chimes in, "Yeah, do we look like the kind of girls to have a kid and throw it into the trash?" Oh, come on. That's like asking, "Did Ted Bundy look like the kind of person to slice up girls and throw them into the river?"
