She tells Arizona she has an inoperable brain tumor. Soon she'll shown symptoms and afterward she'll die. Arizona asks who knows about it. Dr. Herman tells Arizona that fetal surgery is still so new that she can't sit around writing journal articles and instead wants to teach Arizona a year's worth of medicine in six months. She tells Arizona not to tell Hunt and the board, and Arizona says she doesn't know how to feel about that.
