The doctors face the consequences of the events that took place at April's wedding. Meredith feels betrayed when Derek goes back on a promise, Alex is furious after returning to the hospital and hearing the news about his father, and Arizona and Callie decide whether or not to move forward together. Meanwhile, Bailey realizes she was wrong about the motive behind Ben's decision to move back to Seattle.—Austin Guzman

Previously on 'Grey's Anatomy': Alex's dad checked into the hospital, got very sick and Shane decided to operate on him while everyone else was at April's wedding. Shane made matters much worse and Webber had to come in to try to save it. Derek got a phone call from the president, asking him to conduct research on the government's behalf. At the wedding, Jackson shocked everyone by standing up and declaring his love for April.

'Take It Back': We open on Jackson and April running joyfully out of the wedding and driving off. But in the car, April starts to panic. Then she kisses Jackson -- like, a lot. She tells him to drive the car, and he does.

Meredith is upset, but Derek is trying to explain that he couldn't say no to the president. Cristina comes in and declares that what April did was "the coolest thing I've ever seen." Meredith leaves and Cristina can't believe Derek got a call from the president.

At the hospital, Alex is upset and telling Hunt that he wants Shane fired and arrested. Webber says Shane was hallucinating and Leah remembers that he was overworking and fudging his hours in the system. Alex is blaming Cristina for allowing Shane to think "he runs the place," and punctuates the accusation by announcing, "She's screwing him."

Arizona has a breakdown about Callie trying to "fix" her. She says their marriage is not working. Callie wants to go home and talk about it, but Arizona says, "It's not my home anymore."

At her house, Bailey and Ben are still arguing about who ruined the other's dreams. Ben says he didn't want to leave surgery but did it to be close to her.

Stephanie is bummed after Jackson ran off with April. Jo is trying to console her, but Leah can't believe what she's hearing. Stephanie gets up and walks away despite Jo asking her to wait. We catch a glimpse of Shane sleeping on a bench outside the hospital, still in his bloodied scrubs.

April has another moment of panic and gets out of the car saying, "I can't do this."

Arizona and Callie are celebrating buying a new house.

Ben shows up for work as a surgical intern. Stephanie shows up and admits she's "been in hiding" but time heals wounds. Shane isn't around and the interns don't know where he is. They also start to tease Ben about being old. Bailey shows up soon with Ben's lunch.

Alex meets his dad's wife in the hospital and Jo is stunned when introduces her as his fiancé.

Multiple victims from a car crash come in and Shane walks into the ER looking stunned. Hunt tells Shane he's going to work with him. Stephanie can't work with Jackson, so Hunt tries to move her around. Leah says she'll work with him. Stephanie then goes to treat a cat-like man who is rolled into the ER.

Derek heads to a restaurant to meet with some White House officials who joke with him about having tracked his phone. They start asking about Derek's personal life, including the fact that he and Meredith met when she was a student of his.

The cat guy is distracting Stephanie and Callie, but Callie cracks herself up by telling him they're going to focus on having him keep all his nine lives.

Ben steps in for Shane on a procedure, impressing Hunt before Hunt sends Shane off to do something else. Webber warns Hunt that "tough love" isn't going to help Shane, but Hunt says if it were up to him Shane would be gone. The board didn't take his recommendation.

Alex brings Jimmy's wife to what she thinks is a room to retrieve his guitar, but she's surprised to see that Jimmy isn't dead. Alex lied to her to get her there.

Meredith and Cristina are doing their first surgery together since everything fell apart. Meredith asks Cristina where Shane is and reminds her that she pushed everyone to keep him around. Meredith starts telling Cristina about how angry she is with Derek, but she's acting nice to make him feel extra guilty.

Jo is telling Leah and Stephanie about how she got "accidentally engaged." April comes by and asks for a CT, and Leah and Stephanie agree that April is a bitch.

Jimmy's wife is upset with Alex for duping him. She just wants the guitar, which belonged to her father. Alex tells her he thinks she's the only reason Jimmy is trying to hang on. She walks away, gets the guitar and tells Alex that he knows what Jimmy is like "when he's full of crap," adding, "you're 100 percent his son."

The cat guy tells Stephanie and Callie that he didn't like who he was and went all in to change it. Callie admires this. He asks (for a second time) about a little girl who'd gotten her head hit badly in the car accident, but Callie says they can't share patient information. The cat guy sadly assumes it's bad news.

Leah tells Jackson while they're in surgery that he could have warned Stephanie instead of humiliating her in front of everyone. He says he's miserable about what he did to her and says he had "no idea" he was going to do it. It just happened. Leah says that now Stephanie, Jackson and April are all alone.

April says everyone is looking at her with "cheater eyes." Callie comes over and Arizona mentions they need to sign some house documents by 5. Callie says she can't get out, but Arizona says the notary will come to the hospital. Callie seems less than thrilled.

Stephanie comes over tells Callie that their patient, the cat guy, went missing from his room.

In the cafeteria, Webber is sitting with Ben and invites Shane over to sit "with the big dogs." This is the second time he's referred to himself and Ben this way, and it seems to bother Ben. Shane comes over and he joins Webber in poking fun at Ben for his PB&J cut into the shape of a dinosaur with a note from Bailey. Ben goes to get a burger. Shane gets a page from Hunt and runs off to get some labs to him.

We see the cat guy go into a girl's hospital room where she's sleeping. He tells her, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault." He tells her to get better. "Just get better," he says. She opens her eyes, sees him and screams. Arizona comes in, sees him and screams. Then he screams.

Jo finds Alex and asks him if he was proposing when he talked to her about being together forever. He gets upset at the idea that she's abandoning him just like his dad did. She tells him she doesn't want to get married yet and that he's just struggling with his grief. He walks away and she turns and smashes the glass on the vending machine behind her.

The White House officials are still probing Derek about his personal life, and he's stunned when they mention the name Michael Becher and why he's been sending Michael's mother $3,500 every month.

Jimmy wakes up and Alex has to tell him that his wife isn't there. He notices the guitar is missing and says he wants to give it back because "of all the crap I've done, that was the lowest." He asks Alex to make sure he's there when his wife shows up.

The cat guy is upset because he thinks the accident happened because of what he's done to his face. He regrets everything he can't do. He decided that morning to go for a walk. He tells Callie he just wants to go home.

In surgery, Hunt asks Shane to take over for Ben to fix a bleeder. Hunt starts quizzing Shane on some basic anatomy, and Shane cracks under the pressure. Hunt tells Shane he owes apologies to Jimmy and to the girl on the operating table. He tells Shane to leave the O.R., then asks Ben to step back in and do the repair.

Stephanie comes to see Jackson. He tries to talk to her, but she just asks him if he can fix the cat man. She doesn't want to hear anything else from Jackson.

Shane comes to Jimmy's room and tries to apologize to Alex, who just jumps on him and punches him in the face several times before he's pulled off by Meredith and Cristina. Meredith talks Alex down and hugs him. He hugs her back.

Cristina tends to Shane's wounds and he tells her he was trying to come back and focus on his work to try to fix what he did. He finally admits he "deserved this," and she agrees. She shows him a picture of the baby they saved by Shane's decision to make a 3-D conduit. She tells him he's made some bad decisions, but also some good ones. Then she encourages him to make more good ones.

Callie and Arizona get a stack of papers to sign. Callie stops Arizona and says she's worried about Arizona not realizing that Callie is going to come with the new house. Arizona says she likes the new house because it doesn't have the memories of her recovery from the amputation. They kiss and Callie excitedly gets started with the signing.

Leah finds Stephanie crying in the stairwell. Stephanie says she knew getting involved with Jackson and she did it anyway. She says it's too hard being around him and she should leave. Leah tells Stephanie that Jackson took advantage of her and chose to humiliate her. Leah says Arizona did the same to her, and Cristina did "a number" on Shane. She tells Stephanie she can and should do something about it.

Webber confronts Hunt about how he treated Shane. Webber asks Shane if it's about who Shane was sleeping with, but Hunt is called away to answer a call from Human Resources.

Jimmy is struggling for what are almost certainly his last breaths. Alex tells Jimmy that his wife and son are on their way but were delayed. Alex tells Jimmy, "I told them you love them." Jimmy struggles and Alex keeps telling him, "They know you love them. It's OK. You can go." Jimmy finally loses consciousness and flatlines. Alex turns off the monitor, sits back and says, "You son of a bitch."

Bailey comes to Ben and asks for gossip, saying she doesn't understand any of what's going on. He says he doesn't know anything and wouldn't tell her anyway. He fesses up to having eaten a burger for lunch.

Derek finds Meredith in the lab and confesses to her that "they found something." He tells Meredith that he played hockey in high school and he and Michael Becher were the toughest guys on the team. They had a collision, both went down. Becher had a brain bleed that night and has been in long-term care ever since. Meredith says she's furious and has no room for sympathy because Derek is like a superhero and won't just admit that he wants to do the research project for the president. He says he can't turn it down. His phone rings and Meredith picks up, saying Derek can't come to the phone "because he is fighting with his wife." Meredith tells Derek it's the White House, but then admits it's Hunt -- she's not nuts. An emergency board meeting has been called.

In the boardroom, Hunt walks in and announces that a surgical resident has lodged three separate complaints -- sexual harassment, quid pro quo harassment and hostile work environment. Everyone wonders who it is, but Hunt says H.R. won't release that. Jackson looks stunned and asks if there's any way he can talk to the person and clear the air. Hunt says it's about more than one person, but the whole hospital. He says, "we are too often letting our personal lives disrupt our work," and admits that none of them are guilt-free, including himself. He passes around H.R.'s recommendations, including a zero-tolerance policy on sexual relationships between superiors and subordinates. Already-married couples are exempt.

Jo finds Alex sitting next to his dead dad and puts her hand on his shoulder.

Jackson and April are making dinner at home. Jackson tells her about the meeting and says he doesn't think they'll be able to keep it a secret much longer.

We flash back to the moment when April walked out of the car. He suggested they get married, and they decided to drive off to Lake Tahoe, where they could be in 13 hours.
