Jake - He's 16, athletic, good-natured and has a very enthusiastic, jocky Dad. Jake lies in bed, he's a little embarrassed because his Dad is bragging about how Jake kicked ass at his last ballet recital. Jake says ballet isn't something you kick ass at, Dad tells Dr. Howard that Jake thinks he doesn't get the whole ballet world. Jake talks about how his Dad had T-shirts printed with his picture at his last performance and it was hard to hold an arabesque when all he sees is an entire row of his face. Jake asks when he'll be having surgery. Dr. Howard says they need to run some scans on his leg first then they'll see. Jake asks if they'll then cut out the cancer, Dr. H answers that that's what they're hoping, Jake says the Seattle Ballet Company is doing Dom Quixote next summer and there's a part for a kid his age. Dad remarks that Jake has it in the bag. Jake says he doesn't, not yet, he needs a few months to prep his audition. Dr. Howard says they'll do their best to have him up on his feet before then. Dad jokes that Dr. H means back on his toes, Jakes laughs. Dr. H watches them, admiring their relationship.Scene 2: Dr. Howard informs Jake and his Dad that the cancer has spread and they'll have to perform an above the knee amputation. Jake says he knew losing his leg was a possibility because bone cancer isn't something you get over real quick but he thought the odds would work in his favor this time. He's already the kid who does ballet and figured he'd been through enough crap for a teenager, he asks if there's nothing else Dr. H can do. Dr. H says sorry but they'll build him a state of the art prosthetic. Jake asks if it's a prosthetic like the creepy plastic ones, Dad says it's a prosthetic like the guy who runs the 100m has. Jake doesn't want a piece of crap plastic leg, he desperately turns around to Dr. H and says dancing isn't a stupid hobby or something he likes to do, dancing is something he loves to do because it's the only thing that makes him feel normal and alive. Jake pushes back his emotions, gets out of bed and although in pain, he starts to dance a beautiful, awe-inspiring piece. When he finishes, he turns to Dr.H and tells him/her to find him a leg that lets him do that. Dr. H is moved.

Another case for Callie? Maybe working with Arizona?

I was thinking the same thing, anuflas. Before I read the prosthetic, I was thinking it was Meredith or Cristina. They both have father issues and the doctor was "admiring" the father/son relationship.
Cristina has been involved in an amputation before. It was the guy with diabetes who neglected to come in for awhile so he got his foot amputated.
I kind of hope it is Cristina though. Callie already has a case with Mark, and I want most if not all of Meredith's air time to be with Derek or about the miscarriage (going to the OB?).

Callie had daddy issues when it came to her sexuality but seemed "resolved", unless JC is already toning down time because of her pregnancy, I assumed Arizona could be missing her family. But yeah, it could be Cris. Or Alex but I doubt he's back at work.
The OB sides were about Mer and her "sister", which I believe it's Cris. I doubt Derek will be able to get out of bed... I want them to mourn their loss but not dwell over it and get back in action!
The sides are making me dizzy, LOL.

This episode 704, I think Derek should be up and about, him recuperating for 4 episode is kind of much especially if there is a time jump in the season premiere.
Now I think this is Callie's patient and her need to be a parent. Remember that this was the issue for Callie in the finale. I think this is about Callie realizing how hard it is to be a parent.

Lexie: Mark, I'm dying. Please tell Meredith I love her and that she is a good sister.
