Hospital hallway, bustling with activity. Meredith Grey walks through, focused, on her way to meet a new batch of residents.

Meredith is reviewing a patient chart, not paying much attention to the group of new faces gathering at the end of the hall.

Lexie Grey: “Dr. Grey, right?”

Meredith Grey: “Yeah, that’s me. Can I help you?”

Lexie Grey: “I’m Lexie. Lexie Grey. One of the new residents.”

Meredith freezes for a second, her eyes narrowing as she processes the last name.

Meredith Grey: “Grey?”

Lexie Grey: “Yeah, I’m your… half-sister. I guess this is the part where I say, ‘nice to meet you.’”

Meredith remains quiet, a look of disbelief on her face as the busy hospital continues to swirl around them. The air is thick with tension as they both stand there, unsure of what to say next.

Lexie Grey: “I… um, I’m excited to be here. I’ve heard a lot about you.”

Meredith Grey: “I hadn’t heard much about you.”

The moment is awkward but loaded with potential, as the two sisters stand, face to face for the first time in a busy hospital.
