"Bend & Break" is the fifth episode of the eleventh season of the American television medical drama Grey's Anatomy, and is the 225th episode overall. It aired on October 23, 2014 on ABC in the United States. The episode was written by Meg Marinis and directed by Jesse Bochco. On its initial airing it was watched by 8.62 million viewers and mixed to positive reviews from the critics. In the episode, Callie Torres (Sara Ramirez) and Arizona Robbins (Jessica Capshaw) take a look into the problems that have contributed to their troubled marriage. At work, Callie immerses herself in the Veterans' project with Owen Hunt (Kevin McKidd) and spends more time with Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo), and Arizona struggles to impress Dr. Nicole Herman (Geena Davis).
In their therapist's office, Callie says they've been talking about having another baby for months and they were excited. Arizona says that she never said that she doesn't want another baby. Callie says that she didn't have to say anything as her behavior made it clear. Arizona says it was never about the leg. It goes way before the leg. Four years ago, she received the grant of a lifetime. She thought she'd never get an opportunity like that. Callie says she took it and she went, but Arizona reminds her that she came back for Callie and when she came back, Callie was pregnant. The therapist says they're not getting anywhere. They've circled right back to where they started. It's time to hit the reset button. Callie says she doesn't like it, but Arizona says she thinks they should do it.
Callie is in a conference room with Owen and Jackson saying their idea is the stupidest thing she's ever heard. They're talking about using a portion of her grant money to pay for a multi-step facial reconstruction for just one patient. Jackson says he's going to get lunch and Owen should find him later. After he leaves, Owen sits down and asks Callie what's going on.
Arizona and Callie make a schedule for childcare and decide to stick to it. Callie gathers her clothes, toothbrush, hairbrush, and toothpaste. No talking. No communication except for emergencies Callie and Arizona look at each other from their respective rooms. Lastly, no intimacy. No sex with each other or other people. By the end of day 1 Callie finds April and Arizona in the kitchen cooking. April asks if they're too loud for Sofia. Callie says they aren't, but she thought that Arizona needed to study. April explains that they're making jello moms for her to practice on. Dawson asks Callie what she did as we see her walk into her bedroom with the bottle of wine and shut the door. Callie says she followed the rules, but the rules suck.
