This Is Why We Fight
Season 9 | Episode 16 | Aired 02/21/13

The race is on to save Seattle Grace! The place is hemorrhaging workers. There are too many surgeries and not enough staff. Even Bailey is going on job interviews until Owen convinces her to hang in there. After all, she's the heart of the hospital. Stan the financial man sets up a meeting with a billionaire named Julian Crest. Cristina, Meredith, Derek, Callie and Arizona make a case to his underlings as to why Crest should invest. Their pitch is impressive enough to warrant a 15-minute meeting with the big guy. Woo hoo!

Bailey takes over one of Meredith's patients who will likely die. Her heart breaks when the sick woman's daughter cries that her mommy won't wake up. Heather mentions an article that could save the patient. She hears about it from Meredith, who has been keeping tabs on things through her mousey mole. In other news, Owen is thrilled when Alana gives him the news that Pegasus Horizons is going to buy the hospital. What she doesn't mention is the fact that the place is then going to be liquidated.

Eavesdropping Heather relays the Pegasus Horizons scoop to Meredith. She also blabs to Bailey and her intern pals. Catherine Avery wants her son to come back to Boston before Pegasus takes over the hospital. Jackson is reluctantly considering this option. This bums out Stephanie, who has fallen hard for him. Jackson changes his tune somewhat when he learns from Richard that the docs who quit are planning something big. But will they be able to come through in time?
