However, he always finds himself trapped between the promise and his perception. According to him, everyone should live the whole life provided to them may it be in pain. He rejected the whole idea of physician-assisted suicide. Hence, he falls in the dilemma to fulfill Owen’s promise. In the end, he decides to speak about the stolen drugs to Chief of Surgery, Dr. Miranda Bailey and confess Owen’s mistake. Yet, to the surprise, the table turns when he resigned rather than speaking out the secret.
