It all begins when Karev realizes his fragile 6-year-old patient is missing.
With that, the code is called.
The good news is that Karev soon finds the kid hiding under a stairwell.

The bad news is that Bens pregnant patient starts crashing as soon as the code goes into effect.
This might be fine if they were in an OR or even just a regular hospital room (maybe?
Ben can either watch his patient die or do something.
So he does something as a horrified DeLuca assists.
To make things worse, both Gretchen and her baby die soon after.
He thought he saved their lives; instead, he just gave them a few minutes longer.
Bailey spends that whole day looking for someone else, anyone else, to blame.
Why did Meredith, the assigned doctor, leave Gretchen alone with Ben?
Why did Arizona, who Meredith requested come by, leave Gretchen alone with Ben?
DeLuca thought they absolutelyhadto do what they did, right?
This cant be all Bens fault, right?
Basically, things are not looking great for Ben.
As Webber asks Bailey later, Was it a mistake or was it hubris?
But, look: How much time does someone really have to be cocky in a moment like that?
Isnt that punishment enough?
Apparently thats all the panel needed to hear to be on his side.
Hes not getting off scot-free, though.
Bailey suspends him for six months, and he is not happy.
He believes he made a forgivable mistake; shes not sure how to process her disappointment in him.
Its messy, messy, messy.
NEXT: Bye, bye, Penny and Callie?!
When Ben and Bailey arent arguing, Callie and Penny are making big plans.
Penny got the grant to go to New York for a year, an opportunity Callie insists she take.
After some cute back-and-forth (yes, cute Penny, stop growing on me!
), Callie asks Penny to ask her to move to New York.
Could this be the beginning of a beautiful, platonic relationship between two parents?
