Later, Addison takes a call from Dr. Richard Webber (James Pickens Jr.), admitting, “I’m turning everyone who once supported me into an enemy.”
But while Addison is clearly going through an internal battle throughout her time at Grey Sloan Memorial, she’s finally able to open up about her rough patch with Jake to Amelia by the episode’s end.
“He says when I’m home I’m barely there,” she explained. “He says I’m not a good partner. And he’s right. I forgot an anniversary. I forgot a birthday. I am not the woman he married anymore.”
Tearing up, she laments, “But nothing is what it used to be. I don’t even recognize science anymore.”
Indeed, Addison admitted that she can’t choose her personal life over her job, considering how many patients need her care.
To which Amelia provides a wise salve, “I think if he’s asking you to choose, something is probably already fundamentally broken.”

“Fine,” she tells Addison. “I’ll go back to work.”
