It's a Long Way Back
Season 7 | Episode 19 | Aired 04/28/11
SOFIA ROBBIN SLOAN TORRES—12 WEEKS, 5 LBS, 8 OZ

Callie and baby Sofia are both looking good enough to go home. As for Alex, he doesn’t even have a home after his trailer is towed. He racked up gobs of debt by go forward with his African kids program without funding. Alex could go to jail for fraud. He almost rips up a letter from a law office. Fortunately, he opens it to find a check for $200,000. Looks like Gladys altered their original deal. Bring on the kids!

Adele is now part of the clinical trial. That’s the good news. The bad news is she’s slated to get a placebo. We know this because Meredith broke into the classified files to check. That’s enough to get her into serious trouble. The fact that she switches the file with one in which real medicine is used could kill the clinical trial as well as end her career.

Dr. Stark says Sofia can go home if she can sit in an infant carrier for an hour without issues. April likes that others are starting to see the real Stark. Too bad he can’t forgive her for breaking his heart. Speaking of heartbreak, Henry has a candlelit dinner all ready for Teddy. Unfortunately, her latest date is actually a good one, so Henry will be dining alone.

Baby Sofia aces the infant carrier test. Everyone is overjoyed. Well, everyone but Callie. She’s freaking out about putting her baby into a car. It’s not safe. Bailey assures her that she’s not worried because she was in a car accident. She’s worried because she’s a parent. It’ll pass…mostly.
