Episode 5x17 "I Will Follow You Into the Dark" monologues

Opening monologue: Meredith Grey

Every surgeon I know has a shadow, a dark cloud, a fear, a doubt..

that follows, even the best of us into the OR.

We pretend the shadow isn't there.

Hoping that if we save more lives, master harder techniques, run faster and farther..

it'll get tired and give up the chase.

But like they say ' you can't outrun your shadow.'

Closing monologue: Meredith Grey

Every surgeon has a shadow..

and the only way to get rid of a shadow..

is to turn off the lights.

To stop running from the darkness..

and face what you fear, head on.
