Riggs Did What?!

Meredith, Owen and Nathan are stuck together in an ambulance, rushing to pick up a donor heart. While Meredith counsels Owen about his break-up with Amelia, Riggs learns for the first time that Amelia is an alcoholic. The surprise is evident on his face as he reveals that he once bought Amelia a drink, and she never mentioned her problem. But Owen has no room in his heart to give Nathan the benefit of the doubt, and he's enraged. Finally Meredith has to step in and tell them to put their fight on hold until after the job is done.

Edwards Crosses a Line

Edwards burns a bridge she might not be able to mend when she accuses Amelia of sinking her candidacy for the Preminger Grant in order to use the award as a way to get rid of Penny Blake. Amelia is speechless in the face of the resident's hostility, and Stephanie doesn't stop her rant, claiming she is the more deserving doctor, and that she had to step in when Amelia couldn't even handle doing her job. That's when Amelia finally cuts her off.

Nathan Riggs Might Be a Shameless Liar

Meredith suggests it's time for Owen to let go of his hatred toward Nathan, because it's not Nathan's fault he couldn't stop Megan from getting on the fated helicopter with her patient. Owen informs Meredith that Nathan's story is a lie, and Megan told him what really happened: she was on that chopper because Nathan was cheating on her, and she was leaving him. "When I said we hate him, I meant it!" Owen says angrily, and storms off.

So when her MS patient, flirtatious musician Kyle, turns on the charm, she's less resistant than before. He tells her they're alike, and points out Blake isn't a friend, she's the competition. Instead of being irritated, Edwards is starting to like him.
