"The whole episode is shot in a documentary style. It begins with a report of a motorcycle crash. The patient is rushed into an OR and several of the doctors begin to treat him. Derek arrives and explains to the filmmakers that he needs to assess the patient&amp;#039;s head trauma when he is stable. The doctors are unable to save the patient because his brain was so badly damaged. Derek excuses himself and goes into the OR. He asks if the patient was a donor. Owen warns that they will have to crossmatch the donor and transplant recipient, but Derek explains that the blood type, age, size and gender all match. Mark tells the documentary crew: &amp;quot;You picked a good night to start filming. This is going to be fun.&amp;quot; The transplant recipient, Zack, arrives at the hospital with his wife. It emerges that he needs a double arm transplant. The documentary voice-over says: &amp;quot;Seattle Grace Mercy West hospital is home to some of the finest, most influential doctors in the country. Several months ago, a gunman roamed the halls. Today we visit the survivors, their patients, their triumphs and their disappointments. This is Seattle Medical - Road to Recovery.&amp;quot; Chief Webber tells the crew that things have changed since the shootings. He explains that new security measures have been installed to make the hospital safer for the doctors and patients. However, at that moment Lexie arrives and begins shouting at the security guards because her keycard doesn&amp;#039;t work. Webber is forced to go over to find out what&amp;#039;s going on. Meanwhile, Cristina and Meredith are talking to the crew. Cristina admits that the shootings have brought them closer but Meredith points out that they were always good friends. The pair are shown performing an operation but Cristina is unable to go ahead with a procedure. Meredith swaps with her. Later, Meredith tells the crew that it&amp;#039;s a good thing the shooting happened there because they were well equipped to cope with it. Cristina agrees that they are trained to deal with trauma. The pair treat a patient and Cristina realises that he needs surgery for a stab wound. She announces that another incoming trauma is on the way so she will stay and help. Meredith takes the patient up to an OR and explains that it&amp;#039;s not strange that Cristina isn&amp;#039;t coming with her. She says: &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ll take this guy, she&amp;#039;ll take the next one. It&amp;#039;s first come, first served. We all want to get into the OR. We&amp;#039;re surgeons. We live to cut, it&amp;#039;s who we are.&amp;quot; However, the crew film Cristina through a window. She walks around a room by herself, before leaning over one of the beds. Eventually she climbs onto it and lies down. The crew speak to Nicole, whose partner was killed in the motorcycle accident. She explains that she had to consent to the arm transplant and agreed because Sam would have wanted it. However, she admits that the thought of somebody else holding his hand is difficult. Some of the doctors are talking about the procedure for the transplant. Outside, Mark speaks to the crew and reveals that he has been friends with Derek for years. &amp;quot;When I heard he got shot...&amp;quot; he says. &amp;quot;Every day we give bad news to patients. We tell them their loved ones are hurt or dying or dead. And for the first time in my life I understood what that feels like.&amp;quot; Back inside, Mark, Owen, Derek and Callie disagree on what is most important in the arm transplant surgery. The guys describe themselves as &amp;quot;medical titans&amp;quot; for doing such pioneering surgery and Callie rolls her eyes. However, later, when she is prepping the donor body, she admits that it is &amp;quot;pretty damn cool&amp;quot;. Meanwhile, Zack&amp;#039;s wife explains that he lost his arms four years ago in a work accident. She admits that it has brought them closer together and jokes that she has to wipe his bottom. &amp;quot;Sorry, I would cover my face but I don&amp;#039;t have any hands,&amp;quot; Zack laughs. Mark and Owen tell the crew that not everyone is a good arm transplant candidate. Derek adds that they have to make sure the patient is stable and physically determined, and explains that they have been looking for arms for Zack for two years. Callie and Lexie are looking at the donor patient when suddenly Lexie spots that the donor has a tattoo of &amp;quot;Nicole&amp;quot; on one of his arms. Callie is shocked, explaining to the crew that there are emotional problems when someone has a transplant. She tells a story of one person who received a hand transplant but asked for it to be removed because it didn&amp;#039;t feel like their hand and was just dead weight on their arm. She adds that seeing a tattoo of someone else&amp;#039;s wife&amp;#039;s name will remind Zack that the arms aren&amp;#039;t his. Callie and Mark go to tell Zack about the news but he announces: &amp;quot;I love the name Nicole.&amp;quot; He adds: &amp;quot;If it means I can still get those arms, Nicole is my new favourite name.&amp;quot; Outside, Nicole tells the crew that Sam got the tattoo exactly one year after they met and when she complained - saying that if you love someone you do something like having a date, writing a poem or even proposing - he asked to marry her. She adds that whenever she saw the tattoo she remembered that he loved her.  The arm transplant surgery begins and Callie explains that she is tagging the tendons and veins so they know how to match them up. &amp;quot;Or you end up with sound and no picture,&amp;quot; she says. They cut the arms off the donor and rush them through to Zack&amp;#039;s OR. Derek tells the crew that being shot hasn&amp;#039;t changed him except that it has made him more grateful to be alive and he now feels lucky. Back at the transplant surgery, the team attaches one arm and the blood begins flowing. The observing doctors applaud. However, later there is a clot and Derek points out that if they don&amp;#039;t get the blood flowing, Zack will lose his arm. Lexie goes to give his wife an update and admits that there was a possible complication. The wife is worried and realises that he could lose the arm, but adds: &amp;quot;One arm&amp;#039;s better than none, right?&amp;quot; Callie works out that the tendons or veins haven&amp;#039;t been connected properly and fixes the problem. The blood begins flowing through the arm. Later, the doctors go for a drink to celebrate and Mark jokes that Callie fixed the arm but couldn&amp;#039;t set up his television properly. Elsewhere, Alex tells the crew that it is 7am and he has already been at the hospital for two hours. As he walks past one of his patients in paediatrics, Lily, he yells at her to turn down her Justin Bieber music. Later, the crew ask him how he has changed since the shooting. &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t know,&amp;quot; he says. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve got this.&amp;quot; He shows them his bullet wound.  Later, Arizona tells the crew that when you get paged 911, you never walk. She runs into Lily&amp;#039;s room, where Alex is treating her for a blocked airway. He explains that it has been five minutes and performs an emergency tracheotomy. When Lily wakes up, Arizona tells her that they had to put a tube in her neck because she stopped breathing. She tells her not to talk and adds that Lily&amp;#039;s mother is on her way. Speaking to the crew, Arizona explains that Lily has a growth on her windpipe. She says that Lily has had surgeries but the growth keeps coming back and is getting worse. Meanwhile, Alex gives Lily a nurse&amp;#039;s button and tells her to push it as often as she needs. He gives her back her iPod so she has something to listen to. Outside, he explains that parents often can&amp;#039;t take enough time off work to be with their children. &amp;quot;We try to help out,&amp;quot; he says. &amp;quot;We have beds - parents&amp;#039; cots - for parents to sleep in, but for a lot of kids they spend a lot of time alone. They&amp;#039;re not bad parents, just busy parents.&amp;quot; Arizona comes in to Webber&amp;#039;s office and apologises when she sees the film crew, explaining that she can come back. Webber tells her to come in and congratulates her on winning the Carter Madison grant. Outside, Teddy is shocked at the news and adds her congratulations, but Callie seems unhappy. Later, Arizona tells the crew that she wants to use the money to expand paediatric surgery in developing countries and adds that she applied two years ago. &amp;quot;I was a completely different person,&amp;quot; she says. &amp;quot;I was new here, a surgical fellow, single, but now I have people here, important people, which complicates things. But this is bigger than me. This is the opportunity of a lifetime. So yeah, of course I&amp;#039;m accepting the grant. That just means I&amp;#039;m moving to Africa.&amp;quot; Lexie is unable to use her keycard again and Alex opens the door for her. He tells the crew that he doesn&amp;#039;t like kids but paediatrics is nothing to do with that. He says that paediatrics is one of the most elite branches in medicine. He takes Lily in for a test and explains that she will have to stay still. He has to take her iPod off her, but sings to her from the observation booth and she smiles. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;d consider specialising in paediatric surgery for sure,&amp;quot; he says. &amp;quot;But not because of the kids. Definitely not because of the kids.&amp;quot; Later, Alex tells the crew that he has Lily&amp;#039;s test results and admits that they don&amp;#039;t look good. He goes to take them in to Arizona, but he finds Arizona and Callie shouting. Callie leaves and tells the crew that she understands the Carter Madison grant is an incredible opportunity for Arizona. However, she admits that if the situation was reversed she would turn it down. &amp;quot;I wouldn&amp;#039;t even consider moving to another country right now,&amp;quot; she says. &amp;quot;But I&amp;#039;m not like her, so like I said, it&amp;#039;s an incredible opportunity.&amp;quot; Back with Lily, Arizona tells her mother Gretchen that they will be unable to remove Lily&amp;#039;s tumour because it would also mean removing the trachea. Gretchen realises that it is a &amp;quot;death sentence&amp;quot; whether or not they operate. Meanwhile, Alex tells the crew: &amp;quot;The thing that&amp;#039;s changed for me the most since the shooting is now I feel like there&amp;#039;s always something we can do. Because I should have died. I was shot at point blank range. So there is always something we can do.&amp;quot; Lily&amp;#039;s mother admits that it is tough travelling to the hospital because she lives over three hours away, and confesses that she hates leaving Lily alone so much. However, she explains that Arizona thinks there is something they can do for Lily after all and reveals that that is why she chose to come to this hospital. &amp;quot;Three hours on the road is nothing if it saves Lily&amp;#039;s life,&amp;quot; she explains. Meanwhile, Alex, Webber and Arizona tell the crew that they are going to grow a new trachea for Lily from a mixture of her own cells. Webber congratulates Arizona on the idea. The trachea will grow in an incubator at first, and then live in Lily&amp;#039;s abdomen until it is stronger. &amp;quot;Some people say the shooting set people back,&amp;quot; Webber says. &amp;quot;If you look at residents like Dr Karev and attendings like Dr Robbins you see the innovative thinking and you see them becoming reinvested in medicine. Inspiring, isn&amp;#039;t it?&amp;quot; Later, Alex explains that he has to watch the trachea and will be living in the hospital for the next few weeks to make sure everything goes well. He is shown sleeping in the parent&amp;#039;s cot in Lily&amp;#039;s room. Meanwhile, the crew meet Mary, who was a patient when the shooting happened. She explains that she is going back to Seattle Grace for a colostomy reversal - the surgery she should have had when the shooting took place. When she arrives, Bailey spots her and hugs her. Later, Mary reveals that she and her partner Bill left town after the shooting and travelled to Paris, Morocco, Alaska and went on a cruise through a Baltic. She explains that they spent most of their savings but adds: &amp;quot;Life is short, right?&amp;quot; Back at home, the crew ask Mary what she is most looking forward to after the surgery and she says &amp;quot;lots and lots of babies&amp;quot;. In the hospital, the alarm goes off and Mary begins to panic. Bailey reassures her that it is just a false alarm and says it happens once or twice a week. Meanwhile, Webber tells the crew that there have been some &amp;quot;kinks&amp;quot; with the security system but promises that they are being worked out. &amp;quot;Even with the kinks I think people feel safer, which is important,&amp;quot; he adds. Bailey explains that the surgery she is going to perform on Mary is very basic. She is filmed performing the operation and explains that everything has gone well. She goes to find Bill and delivers the good news. She tells the crew that she is thrilled about the surgery and admits that she might have a drink to celebrate. Lexie arrives at the hospital but is unable to get through security again. She yells at the guards but eventually loses patience and runs through the machines, triggering an alarm. Jackson is in between two doors with a patient and gets locked down. He yells at a nurse to get the doors unlocked but his patient gets into difficulties and Jackson has to try to resuscitate him. Teddy arrives and Jackson yells that he needs to get out. Teddy warns him that he is compressing his patient&amp;#039;s chest so hard that he will break his ribs. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m not kidding, OK?&amp;quot; Jackson says. &amp;quot;Please, I need to get out now.&amp;quot; Teddy, who tells the crew that she&amp;#039;s not a fan of the security system, yells at a guard to override the system. She runs back to Jackson and eventually the doors open. She tells him that he can stop treating his patient as someone else can take over, but Jackson continues frantically. He leaves and later pushes over a trolley in anger. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s been hard since the shooting,&amp;quot; he tells the crew. &amp;quot;I lost some friends that day.&amp;quot; Meredith and Cristina are talking to the crew again, and Cristina agrees that people treat her differently after the shooting. &amp;quot;People like to say what I did was heroic,&amp;quot; she says. &amp;quot;It was just a thing I had to do. I think people like to have a hero. It makes them feel better to think in the middle of all that horror there&amp;#039;s someone special working medical miracles.&amp;quot; Meredith interrupts her and announces that Cristina is a hero to her but she spots Cristina crying. Cristina asks her to stop and Meredith tells the crew to cut.  The film crew return four weeks later and discover that Webber has decided to have the security system removed. Meanwhile, Zack&amp;#039;s arms are doing well and he is beginning to feel them. It also emerges that he had a tattoo under the &amp;#039;Nicole&amp;#039; ink which says: &amp;quot;Thank you&amp;quot;. Elsewhere, Arizona admits that she can&amp;#039;t believe she is about to move to Africa and Callie tells the crew that things are better between them now. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m going with her,&amp;quot; she says. Lily tells the crew that she is back in the hospital to get her new trachea sewn into her abdomen. She explains that Alex has been sending her photos of her trachea from the lab and shows them off on her phone. &amp;quot;I always figured I&amp;#039;d be a rockstar but I might consider being a doctor now too,&amp;quot; she says. &amp;quot;I mean, Dr Karev is pretty cool.&amp;quot; Alex arrives and tells her not to mess up her trachea by going in moshpits, crowdsurfing, drinking, doing drugs, smoking or giving out her number to guys. Lily giggles that she is only a child. Later, it emerges that Lily was asked to share the best part of her experience with her class, and took Alex. Mary&amp;#039;s partner Bill arrives in a hospital room with some flowers for her and it becomes clear that Mary is unconscious. Bailey explains that sometimes patients don&amp;#039;t wake up from surgery and adds that there is nothing more they can do. She reveals that Mary has been in a coma since her operation, there is no sign of brain activity and Mary&amp;#039;s organs are failing. She adds that she has to tell Bill what&amp;#039;s going on. Webber admits: &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s hard to imagine that someone could survive a crazy gunman and not survive a simple surgery.&amp;quot; The crew film through the window blinds as Bailey tells Bill he has to make a decision. Three days later, Bill turns off Mary&amp;#039;s life support. Bailey refuses a follow-up interview and is later spotted crying. The episode ends with Cristina talking to the film crew. &amp;quot;We went through the scariest thing a person can go through and we survived,&amp;quot; she says. &amp;quot;So now every day&amp;#039;s just a gift and we&amp;#039;re all just blessed - blessed to be here and blessed to be doing what we do best, which is saving lives every day, one life at a time. We&amp;#039;re healed so we can continue healing others.&amp;quot; The filmmakers ask if there is one thing she will take from the experience and she replies: &amp;quot;Being a hero has its price.&amp;quot; What did you think of the episode?
