Meredith has a 'deer in the headlights' look on her face. Oh my God. What am I going to do now?
Alex: You're married?
Izzie: Seriously?
Cristina: No! Matt, you are not thinking of the same person. That was probably a different Meredith. Meredith isn't married! Geez you guys.
Meredith: No, Cristina. Yes, I am married. I didn't want to have everyone know my personal life. I just want to come to work and work. Why is that such a damn problem?
Izzie: Meredith, we're your friends. We would never judge you. Well, maybe Alex would. Alex, get out of here.
Alex: What? I can keep a secret, besides this is way too good to not hear.
George: How long have you been married?
Meredith: I really don't want to talk about it right now, OK?
Alex: Why? We want the dirt, come on! Come on, come on... There is nothing else to talk about in this damn hospital.
Izzie: Alex leave her alone!
Meredith: NO, IT'S FINE. I MEAN, LET'S JUST LET EVERYONE KNOW THAT I HAVE BEEN UNHAPPILY MARRIED FOR 6 YEARS, BECAUSE MY HUSBAND HAD AN AFFAIR THE NIGHT BEFORE OUR WEDDING DAY! (She was yelling, no one else was around, but if they were, they would have heard it. She was begining to cry a little. Her pager went off.) Oh shoot, I have to go. Matt, it was nice seeing you again.
Matt: You too.
Izzie: Mer, are you OK.
Meredith: (She was jogging away.) I'm fine.
Cristina: Nice, you guys, nice...
Alex: What?
Cristina: You pushed her over the edge, she didn't want to talk about it.
George: Well now we know why she is so bitter.
Izzie: You would be too. Why the hell did she marry him?
Cristina: Why do you think?
Izzie: It had something to do with Ellis, didn't it?
Cristina: I'm not saying anymore, but, yep.
Izzie: Now I really hate Ellis Grey.
Alex: So what is Thompson's husband like?
George: What does he look like?
Cristina: Oh, about 6' tall, dark brown hair, green eyes...he's McGorgeous.
Izzie: McGorgeous? Should you be calling your best friend's husband that?
Cristina: Well, he is. He's pretty damn nice.
George: So he bout the McMansion?
Cristina: I think so. He's an attorney. I'm sorry, Matt we are supposed to be entertaining you.
Matt: It's fine. At least I know who you're talking about. They really don't get along. It's a shame too, they are a hot couple. They argued about everything on the plane.
The interns kept talking about Meredith and John. Speculating about everything. But they all decided not to say anything about it to anyone else. It took some time to convince Alex, but Izzie said she would withhold sex. He changed his tune rather quickly then.
Mark and Derek are standing at the coffee cart talking.
Mark: So how is it going with your soulmate?
Derek: Funny. I am going to ask her today. To go out, on a date.
Mark: Taking the big step, huh? It's taken you long enough!
Derek: Well... (He gets paged.) Shoot, that's my patient in recovery. (Meredith runs by and he runs right after her. They get there and the patient is in trouble.)
Derek: I think we are going to have to open him back up. Meredith, I will need you to scrub in. Are you free?
Meredith: Yes.
In the OR:
Derek: So Dr. Thompson, where did you go to college?
Meredith: I graduated in the top of my class at Dartmouth.
Derek: That's impressive. Did you know you wanted to come to Seattle Grace for your internship?
Meredith: Yes, this is where my mother did hers. I would like to top her someday. She can't work forever. (She smiles and evil grin. Derek returns that evil grin.)
Derek: I don't think that will take you long. OK, I think we've got it.
In the scrub room:
Derek: So what are you doing tomorrow night?
Meredith: I'm off, so, nothing.
Derek: I was wondering, I mean if you want to, maybe we could, Meredith would you like to go out on a date with me?
Meredith: Derek...I can't. (She says quietly and slowly.)
Derek: If it's the chief, I don't that will be a problem. He know about Burke and Yang.
Meredith: It's not the Chief, Derek...I'm married.
