Quotes 

• Abby : Jack... He's gonna look at me and see this broken person. If I tell him this, it's all he'll ever see.

  Dr. Jo Karev : Abby, look at me. This doesn't define you. And whether you tell your husband or you report it or you don't tell another soul, you're a survivor. You survived. I still feel nauseous when I see men in expensive shoes with the points of the toes because that's how my ex-husband made my kidney bleed. For years, I thought I got what I deserved, that I was responsible, that maybe, just maybe, if I had said or done one thing differently...

  Abby : But none of that was your fault.

  Dr. Jo Karev : No.

  Abby : It's not your fault. Do you have a phone I can use?

  Dr. Jo Karev : Yes. Will you stay?

  Abby : As long as you need.

• Dr. Jo Karev : Abby, if we take you to the OR, we have to make you sterile, so everything that happened to you, all the evidence, it all goes away. You can still report it.

  Abby : I'm not reporting anything. There's nothing to report.

  Dr. Teddy Altman : That is your choice. It is all your choice.

  Dr. Jo Karev : But if something happened if it did we could gather the evidence and seal it away until you are ready to do something about it.

  Abby : We all know if I do that kit, it ends up in the back of some police station, ignored for years while I sit there wondering when the bomb will go off, waiting to see if a jury of my peers will believe a woman who wore a skirt a few inches too short, who had a few cocktails too many at a bar last night after having a fight about laundry with her husband. And you know the tequila I drank will make it my fault, and whoever did this to me, whatever he drank that'll be his excuse! Is your kit gonna convince them I wasn't flirting at the bar? If I give them my story and my underwear, will it prove to them or to my husband that I didn't cheat on him and make up some story just to save my own ass? Will your kit do that?

• Dr. Jo Karev : My ex-husband, he hurt me. Not in the way that you were hurt, but he hit me, he hurt me, for years. And I was so, so terrified. And so convinced that no one would believe me, and I was so, so alone. I never had the chance or the choice to hold him responsible. I can't imagine how you are feeling right now. I can't. But one day, you might feel differently. You might want justice and I want you to have everything you need to do that.

  Abby : My husband. He can never know.

  Dr. Teddy Altman : He won't have to.

  Abby : Do it. Just do the damn kit.
