Grey's Anatomy Season 10 Episode 19 Recap: It's 5 AM in Seattle and it's the day that the nominees for Harper Avery award will be announced. Meredith, Karev, and Jo were up early to be there for Cristina when she gets her call for her excellent research on conduits that may be the future for 3D printing of a heart.
After doing her rounds with her end stage heart failure patient, walks into the lobby of the hospital seeing the staff gathered around to surprise her. It was organized by her best friend Meredith who also has an upcoming breakthrough, a kidney transplant between two HIV patients.
Dr. Bailey at her genome lab was feeling anxious because she admitted she feels stuck on her career and she was also stuck with no cure for her immunocompromised patient. She was also lamenting because the interns she raised were having their time at the peak of their career.
Derek Shepherd and Callie Torres were testing their new 'baby' for their research which can recognize the emotions of the one in it. When Callie tried it, Derek had been telling her that she is depressed and sad on the inside even though she acts like she's very happy on the outside. However, when Meredith and her baby visited them, Callie felt the absolute joy which even topped her best ortho story.
Meredith's surgery went south and Bailey swooped in. It was a good thing for Bailey because she just figured out how to treat her patient if she could redesign the HIV. Cristina's patient became even worse. Good thing is, Owen had talked the FDA to approve of the use of a device that's still on clinical trial when he told them the Cristina Yang, the Harper Avery nominee, will be using it for her patient. Meredith admitted she was jealous of her friend, but she threw a surprise toast for her which covered it up pretty well.
Alex had realized that his place is in a private practice. Callie and Arizona had talked and both agreed that they wanted a new baby. Cristina and Owen celebrated at the vents with a bottle of champagne. She had spent her day focusing on her job and enjoying her moment in the dimmed spotlight. Definitely, she deserved that nomination.
