Janora McDuffie: Social Worker Janet

Quotes 

• Social Worker Janet : [to Derek]  A lot of questions came up today, about your relationship, your employment...

  Dr. Derek Shepherd : Well, she got her job back. That was a misunderstanding.

  Social Worker Janet : She disappeared.

  Dr. Derek Shepherd : Well, that was a miscommunication.

  Social Worker Janet : And the part about you two living in separate houses, that's miscommunication, too? Look, I get it. It's not easy bringing a child into a relationship. You're allowed to have some bumps in the road, but this afternoon when it looked like you two had split up, your wife got fired, she lied to me and left with the baby. It set off some alarms. Now, I'm trying to dial them all back, but it's not that easy to do. Once a system has been set in motion, there's protocol that needs to be followed once the agency believes there's questions about Meredith...

  Dr. Derek Shepherd : Janet, Meredith is the best mother a child could have. She loves Zola and she loves me and if she has any flaws, it's that she loves people so much she will do anything for them.

  Social Worker Janet : Derek, please. I hear you, but no matter what I say, Social Services still needs to re-evaulate the placement and when that happens, Zola can't be in your home. I'll give you a minute to say good-bye.
