Meredith and Emma observed Allison's surgery with a mixture of horror and fascination, standing on tiptoes to catch a glimpse of Derek and Burke skillfully operating on her.
"She's going to spend a long time in recovery and rehab," Derek remarked solemnly.
"If she survives," Burke added, emphasizing the gravity of the situation.
"What is she, like 5'2, 100 pounds? She's still breathing after what this guy did to her? Catch the guy; they should castrate him," Derek expressed his frustration as his hands expertly worked inside the patient.
"See how shredded her hands are? She tried to fight back," Burke pointed out.
"Tried to? Rape kit came back negative? She kicked his ass," Derek said, eliciting a supportive whisper from Emma, "Thatta girl."
"So we have a warrior among us, huh?" Burke announced to everyone in the room.
"Allison," Meredith interjected. "Her... Her name is Allison."
"Allison," Derek repeated, acknowledging the importance of knowing her name.
"I think I may have found the cause of our rupture," Burke said, instructing for a large hemostat.
As Burke delved further into the patient, he called for more suction. The tension in the room grew as he extracted a mysterious object from her cavity.
"What is this?" Burke asked the room, holding up the foreign piece.
Emma exchanged a glance with Meredith, whose eyes widened in realization. "Oh my god."
"What is it? Spit it out, Grey," Burke prompted, turning his attention to Meredith.
"She bit it off."
"Bit off what?"
"That's his... Penis."
A collective gasp filled the room, and everyone's eyes widened in shock.
"It's a bit small," Emma couldn't help but whisper, earning herself a sharp elbow from Meredith. She winced, trying not to draw attention to the comment.
"She bit off his... his penis," Meredith repeated, the weight of the revelation sinking in.
Burke quickly deposited the severed organ into a dish along with the tongs, and the room filled with a mix of disbelief and a shared sense of astonishment.

After the intense surgery, Meredith and Emma found themselves in an unexpected situation, holding a cooler containing the severed organ. They made their way to the chief's office, knocking on the door while his assistant looked up.
"Hi, is the chief in?" Meredith inquired.
"He's on his way. Is that it?" the assistant nodded towards the cooler.
"Yeah," Meredith replied, confirming the unusual cargo.
"Can I see it?" the assistant asked with a hint of guilt in their expression.
"Dude!" Emma exclaimed from behind Meredith.
"No, never mind, forget I asked," the assistant quickly retracted, shaking their head.
"Meredith and Emma, good to see you, both as attached as always," Richard said, appearing behind them. "I heard your mother was leaving Mayo. She's going back with the UN?" He added, placing a hand on Emma's shoulder as he passed by. Emma discreetly wiped off the touched area with her hand.
"She's, uh... taking time off," Meredith explained.
"To write another book, I suppose," Richard assumed, jotting something down on a piece of paper. Meredith simply nodded.
