âI just feel like I do a whole lot of work for a minimum pay, you know.â Michael Harden said. He lives in Tampa and knows how it feels to work long hours and get paid a minimum wage. âWhen itâs time to pay bills and thereâs nothing left over and you have kids to feed, you wonder what youâre going to do. So, thank God for food banks,â said Harden. He says itâs hard to get by on making $8.56.

As her appointed medical proxy, Webber (James Pickens Jr.) made the painful and difficult decision to go against her wishes and give them the go-ahead. The episode ends with Meredith being put on the ventilator, as the scenery changes to the beach, where she s contently looking out toward the ocean the sounds of the ventilator overtaking the voiceover.
