History

After learning that her girlfriend, Jessica Tanner, was going to be sent to a gay conversion camp after her mother learned about their relationship, Aliyah and Jessica attempted suicide by train together, wanting to be together dead or alive. They both survived the impact and were taken to Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital. Aliyah was disoriented and unable to give the doctors her name when she arrived. She was taken into a trauma room, where she asked for her mom before being intubated. Callie then noticed the heart drawn on her arm that matched the one on Jessica's and asked Jessica for her name, at which point Jessica confessed that they love each other.

One of Aliyah's legs was completely turned around as the impact had caused a wishbone tear. Callie turned her leg back around and said she'd stabilize the pelvis after they fixed her other injuries. They took her into surgery for an exploratory laparotomy. While they were working, they uncovered a pulmonary artery bleed. They paged cardio, but no one was available to respond quickly enough, so Tracy McConnell, who was in the gallery on a tour, talked them through clamping the bleed. Aliyah survived the surgery and her father was informed that even though it was complicated, she'd be okay. He was later able to visit her and read her a letter from Jessica after she woke up.
