On this week's episode of "Grey's Anatomy," an earthquake rocks Gray-Sloane Memorial Hospital, Dr. Hunt instructs an 11-year-old girl how to help her mother over the phone, while Meredith decides whether or not she wants to stay with Derek.
The episode starts with Stephanie and Jo finding out that Meredith has been doing surgeries and rounds in the middle of the night, and she hasn't lost a patient in months. They call it her "streak." They share the news with Alex, and soon after, an earthquake rocks the hospital.
The earthquake stops, and no one in the hospital is hurt. However, the emergency room starts filling up as patients are brought in. Then, Owen gets a phone call in the emergency room line. An 11-year-old girl named Ruby says that her mother has been pinned down because of the earthquake and is in serious danger. She says she can't get through 911 that's why she thought of calling the hospital.

Ruby holds the phone close to her mom, and her breathing lets Owen know that she has an obstructed airway. Owen and Amelia decide that a hole must be punctured in Ruby's mother's chest to relieve the pressure. Because they can't trace the call and have no idea where they are, the doctors tell Ruby that she has to do it herself.
Guided by Owen, Ruby uses a skewer to puncture a hole in her mother's chest. But later, her mother stops breathing and Owen teaches Ruby how to do CPR. Owen enlists his fellow doctors to join him and they sing "Staying Alive" so that Ruby can have a beat to perform CPR to.
Later, April comes in and tells them that they have traced Ruby's location, so Owen and the rest of the team waits for the helicopter to arrive. A moment later, they're all on the roof when it lands and Ruby runs to Owen and gives him a hug.
Owen discovers that Ruby's mom has a blood clot in her brain from the fall she took during the earthquake, but Amelia was able to save her life and tell the good news to Ruby.
Meanwhile, Jo mentions Meredith's streak and she tells Meredith, in front of Alex and Stephanie, that she hasn't lost a patient since November 14. Meredith storms out of the operating room.
Meredith explains that she's not upset by the streak, but by the date when it started, which is the same date when Derek moved to Washington D.C. She thinks that Alex has been right all along, that she's better off without him.
She decides to call Derek to tell him this, and a woman answers the phone. Meredith demands to know who she is. The woman remains silent.
"Grey's Anatomy" airs on Thursdays at 8 p.m. on ABC.
