Grey's Anatomy Season 10 Episode 17 Recap: Do you know who you are? Do you know what's happened to you? Do you want to live this way? All it takes is one person, one patient, one moment to change a life forever. It can change your perspective; color your thinking, one moment that forces you to reevaluate everything you think you know.

Dr. Cristina Yang, assisted with Dr. Ross, had a patient, Jason, from a car accident who they saved against all odds. When neurosurgeon, Dr. Shepherd, came into the operating room to look at the scan of the back of the patient, he had concluded that he will be paralyzed from the neck down.

Jason's wife had been advised regarding the state of her husband. She wanted Dr. Yang to wake him up from the sedation, to ask him if he would still want to continue living that way or if he would want the ventilator to be taken off him leading to his death.

Jason agreed to take off the ventilator. Dr. Yang was frustrated because he wasted her efforts on the surgery. She saw Owen by the elevator and talked to him. She told him that they should be together. This led to them having children and making her sacrifice her research. Dr. Shane Ross had received the Harper Avery award, which made Cristina very upset. This was the first look into the future if she had chosen this path.

Back to the present, Jason agreed to continue living his life despite of his condition. Dr. Yang walked out smiling and approached Owen by the elevator. This led to them celebrating in Owen's trailer with a little romp instead of getting emotional. Of course, Owen was okay with it at first, and then he asked for more which Cristina cannot give. Their relationship was on and off, Cristina succeeding in her career, and Owen becoming miserable without her. This was the second look into the future if she had chosen this path.

Both paths had Avery breaking his hand, which gave a vague meaning. Also, Meredith and Cristina were still each other's person and they were together in every bump along the road.

In the real time, Jason chose not to end his life. Cristina came out happy and was about to approach Owen, but took her more time to go after him. She also told Avery to watch out for his hand when it was about to get injured. Meredith came to Cristina asking for an extra set of eyes for her patient, making her too late to catch Owen in the elevator. Clearly, Dr. Cristina Yang just let him go.
