"This is just wrong!" Christina says, angrily.
"What's wrong?" Meredith asks.
"Everything. First Burke wins the Harper-Avery, then I get taken off cardio this week, and then, I can't even control my interns. Your baby sister thinks its okay to ask questions. And she doesn't even react when I yell at her. I can't even believe she's not scared of me. I thought I was scary," Christina says.
"You are scary. Very, very scary," Meredith says, comfortingly.
"Don't do that," Christina says, sharply.
"Do what?" Meredith says.
"Placate me. We don't do that," Christina says.
"I'm not. You truly are very very scary. Oh, and if you ever use the term 'baby sister' in relation to me and Lexi Grey, I'll turn scarier than you can ever imagine," Meredith says, with a smile.
"What's with you two?" Izzy says, as she walks over.
"Christina's upset that her interns aren't scared of her," Meredith explains.
"Really? My interns are scared of me. Guess you're just not the Nazi you thought you were," Izzy says.
"I am so the new Nazi. I AM the new Nazi. Seriously." Christina says.
"We were never late for Bailey," Izzy says, gloating.
"Don't mess with me, Izzy. This is partly your fault," Christina says.
"My fault that you can't control your interns? Please explain" Izzy says.
"No. That part isn't your fault. That part is not even true. It's your fault I'm not on cardio this week…"
"Christina! How many times do I have to tell you? I have no desire to be the robots that you and Erica Hahn work so hard to be. I enjoy being human," Izzy says.
"Well, in your enjoyment of being human, you helped Bailey with the grant for that state of the art cancer center, and guess who's working there this week," Christina gripes.
"So am I," Izzy says.
"Yeah, but you like all that dealing with patients stuff. I just want to cut. I just need a scalpel. Is that so much to ask?" Christina says.
"Okay. As much as I am enjoying this feud, I have a clinical trial to attend to. Derek and I are going to perfect this," Meredith says.
"He's with Rose," Christina says.
"Christina!" Izzy scolds.
"What? She's in therapy. Isn't she supposed to like, I don't know, deal with that stuff or something?" Christina says.
"You're in therapy?" Izzy says.
"I have to go!" Meredith says, glaring at Christina.
"She's in therapy?" Izzy asks Christina.
"I have to go too. I have to round up my interns and scare someone," Christina says.

"Dr. Stevens, Dr. Yang, this is our new center. We have every treatment option, every clinical trial, and every opportunity available to these patients. There is an isolation center for bone marrow transplants, and a pediatric ward for childhood cancer patients. There is a recreation center for those who will be here long term, and a variety of activities so that their stay here is as pleasant as possible," Dr. Bailey says, proudly showing the two doctors around.
"Great. I'm working at summer camp," Christina mutters.
"Seriously! You are so not human," Izzy whispers to her. "There are robots with more compassion than you!"
"I have a surgery scheduled for 10:00am so I need to prep, but I'm sure you two will find all the information you need in the charts. Page me if you need me. Oh, and don't forget to include your interns," Dr. Bailey says.
Christina rolls her eyes. "Can I leave them here while I go find some surgeries?"
"Are you sure they'll show up? I hear they aren't that scared of you these days…" Izzy says, smugly.
"And I hear that your interns sometimes get to watch you perform excellent veterinary medicine. Didn't you do a big surgery on a deer?" Christina retorts.
Izzy rolls her eyes. "Shut up," she says, for lack of a better response.

"Hey, Bambi, how's your new job going as the perv police?" Alex says, as George walks by him.
"Laugh all you want, but just remember to keep your forms updated. You don't want to forget anybody else…do you?" George says.
Alex shrugs. "Sometimes they're memorable, and sometimes they're forgettable," he says, coldly.
"See ya around," George says.

"He's with Rose, he's with Rose, he's with Rose," Meredith chants to herself as she gets ready to enter the office where she and Derek are going to go over their notes for their next patient in the clinical trial.
"Dr. Shepherd," she says, formally.
"Dr. Grey. I was going over the notes from the last patient. When the virus reverted…"
"He's with Rose, he's with Rose…" Meredith whispers, inaudibly.
"Did you say something, Dr. Grey?" Derek asks.
"Umm…yes. I said, 'Here we go,'" Meredith says, recovering quickly.
"Well, as I was saying, when the virus reverted, it caused a massive hemorrhage in the hypothalamus, which caused a…"
He's with Rose…He's with Rose…He's with Rose.
"Do you mind if I sit down? I'm not feeling particularly well," Meredith says, as she watches him talk but doesn't really listen. She feels weak and worries that this may be the beginning of one of her panic attacks.
"I'll be back in a minute," Meredith says, as she bolts from the room.
"Meredith!" Derek calls after her

"Christina! Wipe the look off your face before we go into the patient's room. It is not the fault of the patient that you don't want to learn about any other facets of medicine other than cardio!" Izzy says, appalled at Christina's lack of sensitivity.
"No. It is the fault of you and Dr. Bailey," she says.
"Maybe you and Meredith could get a group rate for therapy. I don't know which of you is more screwed up!" Izzy sighs.
"Definitely me. I'm more screwed up. I'll handle the medical stuff, you handle the talking to the patient stuff, okay?" Christina says.
"Like I'd have a choice!" Izzy says as she opens the door.
"Oh my god!" they both say, as they open the door.
