Early in this week's episode we saw Owen talking to Callie about Dr. Herman's overeager approach to rescheduling surgeries as her own cancer surgery approached. Callie, meanwhile, segued into another one of her verbal outbursts, this time about how much she missed casual dating. Owen didn't miss a beat and affably stepped into the discussion with Callie, assuring her the honest approach was always the best one. When she asked him for clarification, Owen found himself unexpectedly reminiscing about the reasons he got into trauma surgery and how the work he did saving soldiers in the field still connected him to the satisfying work he does today. After his poignant recitation Callie assured a disbelieving Owen that he indeed had game.
Soon thereafter Owen found himself facing yet one more verbal nonsequitur in Dr. Herman's behavior when he followed up with her regarding her further rearrangement of the surgical schedule. He stopped short in his request for her to cease and desist when he realized she had the former couch from the attending surgeon's lounge moved into her office. Owen grew flustered when she flirtatiously suggested they try out together what she called the best couch in the hospital. Dr. Herman quickly let him off the hook yet even in doing so showed us both how much gusto she's putting into living her life and also gave us insight into what it looks like when Owen's off his game.
In what was starting to seem like Owen's day for awkward encounters, he next found himself discussing Dr. Herman's behavior with Amelia. Ever the thorough Chief of Surgery, Owen inquired whether Dr. Herman's cerebral tumor might be impacting her behavior as her disease progressed. What followed was a bit of mostly off their game information gathering about each other that had the two of them discussing Dr. Herman's joking offer to Owen and whether or not dating coworkers was allowed. At the end of the conversation they both appeared thoughtful and a fair bit flustered.
By the end of the day things were looking up for Owen who received a surprise visit at the trailer from Amelia. She mumbled her way through presenting him with a bottle of sparkling water in place of the wine she doesn't drink anymore before declaring she had no game and turning to go back to Meredith's house. Owen stopped her before announcing he was going to kiss her and then did just that.
Elsewhere in the hospital: Miranda and Ben received a visit from his brother who ended up in the hospital with complications from his steps toward gender reassignment; Arizona discovered being roommates with Alex and Jo was more than that for which she bargained; Maggie and Meredith quarreled over what happened on Meredith's purported weekend in D.C.; Amelia and Arizona continued to evaluate Dr. Herman in preparation for her surgery; Catherine looked for a surgical excuse to continue her unexpected reunion with Richard which turned out to be an attempt to gather information covertly on her son Jackson; Dr. Herman took to hoarding hospital furniture and other flamboyant behavior as her surgery neared while also bonding with Arizona; Callie and Jo treated a patient who injured herself reacting to her fiance's proposal; while treating their patient Callie and Amelia bonded over having no dating skills; Ben struggled with his brother's decision while Miranda tried to support both men, Callie got some of her groove back flirting and dancing with a man at Joe's Bar; Meredith told Alex that instead of visiting Derek she took a weekend of solo R&R for herself in an airport hotel because she doesn't know how to be with Derek right now; and Alex said he's going to marry Jo.
