If Only You Were Lonely
Season 8 | Episode 16 | Aired 02/23/12

Richard burns his arm putting out a small kitchen fire that Adele accidentally set. Meredith urges him to put his wife into an outside care facility. Richard pays a visit to the place, but still feels Adele is better off at home. That's clearly not the case after a violent scene in which Adele hurls vases across the room. Richard still doesn't want to let go. He changes his mind when a lucid Adele tells him she'd prefer to live at the facility.

Teddy is more than a bit flustered during a big presentation. She fears that she may have blown any chance at funding to grow hearts. Surprise, surprise! Teddy gets a $4 million grant. That's probably because Callie asked Owen to make a few calls on her behalf. Of course, all this was done without Teddy's knowledge.

Mark notices that Jackson is a bit on edge as they treat a barista who got burned when an espresso machine exploded. As Teddy operates on a customer who was also caught in the blast, she screams at an assisting Owen to back away. It's another hostile, awkward moment between these two. Owen is still willing to be Teddy's punching bag, but Callie reminds him that his martyr act can't interfere with his job as the Chief.
