Hallway outside of intern locker room

As Cristina is walking out of the locker room she literally runs right into Burke. He looked tired. She wondered where he slept last night. Neither had said a word just stood there looking at each other when Addison walks up.

Addison: Good morning Preston, Cristina!

Burke: Good morning Addison.

Cristina: Hi.

Awkward silence with neither Burke nor Cristina looking at each other then Burke turns and walks away.

Addison: Okaaay then. Dr. Yang where are your fellow interns?

Cristina: Locker room.

Addison: Well, let's go get them shall we! I have your assignments for today.

Intern Locker Room

Addison: Good morning! Dr. Webber has decided that the attendings will rotate

supervising you until Dr. Bailey's back. Any requests?

Meredith: I'd like to be assigned to Dr. Burke's surgery this morning.

Cristina gives Meredith a dagger look.

Addison: Ok if there are no other requests. Stevens you're in the Pitt, O'Malley you're

with Shepperd, Karev with Webber and Yang you're with me. You'll do rounds

with those attendings this morning.

The interns start to disperse and Cristina grabs Meredith's arm.

Cristina: What are you doing? Why did you request Burke?

Meredith: Because I didn't want to be with Addison, Derek or Webber. Don't worry.

Cristina: I'm not worried.

Meredith: Sure you are and that's okay.

Cristina: Whatever!

Addison: Dr. Yang

Cristina gives Meredith a suspicious look and they both leave the room.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hallway during rounds.

Cristina is quiet and yawns repeatedly during their walk.

Addison: Dr. Yang you look tired. I didn't see your name on the on-call schedule for last night.

Cristina: Insomnia.

Addison: Oh I thought that maybe you and Dr. Burke had a fight. I saw him roll out of

the on call room this morning wearing the same thing he was in yesterday and

he was not on the on-call schedule either then the two of you seemed very

awkward earlier in the hallway.

Addison stopped walking, paused and Cristina stared at the floor trying to hide her relief that he spent the night at the hospital and not with someone else. .

Addison: I just wondered if you could use any help.

Cristina: No….thanks but there's nothing anyone can do. I could just use some coffee.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Burke: Good morning Dr. Grey!

Meredith: Good morning!

Burke: So you're my intern of the day, huh.

Meredith: Yeah

Meredith takes a deep breath unsure if this is the right thing to do.

Meredith: Your apartment it's really nice.

Burke: Excuse me?

Meredith: Your apartment – yours and Cristina's. Cristina called me to come over last

night. She was in pretty bad shape.

Burke attempts to hide his look of concern at Meredith's use of the phrase "bad shape." Cristina did look upset this morning when he saw her. She did not have her usual "I'm going to get the best case even if I have to kill someone" look going on.

Burke: Dr. Grey we have surgery this morning. I don't think this is the most appropriate

time or place to have this conversation.

Meredith: Just thought you might like to know that she's not just looking to bail.
