EPISODE 4
: "COMPLICATED"

"Dr. Grey, why are you here so early?! I told you that you had a half day today!!" Bailey shouted seeing Meredith lying on a gurney.

"I was just…I slept here last night…" Meredith replied.

Bailey moved closer, "Grey, I told you to leave at 12:00 last night! Go HOME!"

"Yes ma'am." Meredith said running away from a severely ticked off chief resident.


CVO: Complications. They suck whether they're in surgery or in relationships


Izzie was sleeping in the clinic because she had been too tired to drive and to lazy to walk down to the tunnels. Alex came up from behind her and hugged her.

"Hmm…Oh, hey Alex." She asked kissing him on the cheek.

"Hey Iz. How was your night?"

Izzie sat up, "It was pretty awful…sleeping in here and all, yours?"

"Good but it would've been better if you were with me." Alex replied while pulling her into a big hug.

Suddenly, Bailey opened the clinic doors and walked up to Alex and Izzie. "What do you fools think you're doing? Get out of my clinic!" She yelled.

"Yes ma'am." Alex said while grabbing Iz's arm and pulling her with him. "Whoa, Bailey's on the warpath, huh?" he asked.

"I guess." Izzie replied holding back a laugh. They saw Cristina, looking like she had just been told that her dog died, walking behind Hahn. "Cristina, are you okay?" Iz asked.

"Yeah, I just…no. Can you get Meredith?" Cristina said quietly.

"Sure, no problem." Izzie and Alex said.


"Dr. Bailey." Erica Hahn said slightly aggravated.

"Yes, Dr. Hahn?"

"Your resident, Cristina Yang…" she said, "I do not need her on my service anymore!"

Bailey looked startled, "What do you mean, you don't need her? Of course you do, she's Cristina Yang, the cardio-god-in-training…or whatever."

"You know your residents too well, Dr. Bailey. I do not want Yang anymore and I mean it! I'll take Stevens or Grey." Hahn argued.

"Take Grey, and if I hear a complaint about Grey you get Yang back." Bailey said. She then turned on her heel and left without hearing the rest of what Hahn was going to say.


CVO: When you are in surgery and a complication arises…well, you do your hardest, no matter what.


"Cris! Iz and Alex said you wanted to talk to me?" Meredith said finding Cristina stretched out in the on-call room bed.

"I think I cut her artery." Cristina announced unsteadily.

"Be careful! We are trying to save this little girl's life here!" Dr. Hahn yelled.

Cristina's hand started shaking, "Yes ma'am." She took the needle and started stitching up the artery but it wouldn't stop bleeding.

"Dr. Yang, MOVE! NOW!" Erica said pushing Cristina out of the way. She finished the stitch and got the artery to stop bleeding. "Okay, now put your fingers right there. Be very still and keep them in place."


CVO: Though, sometimes we freeze and forget those years we spent in medical school and when that happens…it's like taking a shot in the dark.

Cristina did as she was instructed. She knew how to do the surgery. She just forgot. Somehow. "Okay, now what?" she asked Hahn.

"Now, you need to make sure the stitches are tight, but don't pull too tight on it." Cristina pulled on the stitch and blood went everywhere. "Dr. Yang, did I not tell you to be careful?! Just set the scalpel down and scrub out."

"What's wrong, Cristina?" Meredith asked. Cristina was now shaking out of control. "I'll be right back. I need to get you a bag and some water." Meredith said while running out of the closet.


CVO: You don't know what will happen until it's done

Mark Sloan was walking through the cafeteria when he saw Addison. They were supposed to be together right about now, but they weren't, were they? No. He went up and sat down with her.

"Oh, hey Mark. How are you?" Addie said not even looking up from her laptop.

"The same. Hey, did you know they started Nurses Against Mark Sloan?"

"Really? Well, I bet they were just tired of getting hit on by you." Addison said standing up.

Mark chuckled, "Oh, yeah? Well, I think you are just jealous."

"Jealous? Of what? You or the nurses?" she asked stepping closer to him.

"Oh yeah. I think you are jealous of the nurses." He replied standing not even half an inch from her.

Instead of replying she just grabbed his arm and led him to an on-call room. By the time they got there she had been paged twice. They blew it off and kept stripping each other. They were both in their bottoms and then suddenly the door was opened.

"Dr. Montgomery what do you think you are doing? You are a guest in this hospital! Get back to work you fools!" Bailey screamed. God, why did you make people that think just about sex and surgery? Dr. Bailey thought to herself.


George O'Malley was walking through the hallway but stopped dead in his tracks when he saw his mom standing in the middle of the lobby.

"Oh, Georgie, there you are!" Louise O'Malley said running towards her son.

"Mom…what are you doing here?" George asked.

"I was just coming to see how you and…CALLIE!" Louise yelled as she spotted Callie walking towards them.

Izzie and Callie about had a heart attack when they heard Mrs. O'Malley call Callie's name. "Hide!" Izzie suggested.

"I can't she sees me…you can go though." Callie said.

"Okay….I will talk to you later." Izzie said.

"Yeah, if I make it out alive." Callie joked.

Louise looked at Callie suspiciously as she saw a blonde head pop out from behind Callie, "Izzie? Izzie Stevens? Get over here, right now, you two!"

"Jeez. Can't that woman give us a break?" Izzie said to Callie as they neared Mrs. O'Malley, "Mrs. O'Malley! I missed you!"

"Izzie, Callie. Let's talk. You, me, and Georgie, okay?"

Izzie and Callie knew the only thing they could do was nod their heads.


"Hey, Mr. Horizontal Mambo." Mark Sloan said while setting his food down on the table.

"Hey, Mr. I-got-caught-with-Addison-by-Bailey." Derek replied with a wicked grin.

"Ooooh, burn. Good thing I'm in plastics." Mark returned cockily.

McDreamy laughed, "Well, it looks like you aren't that much of a dad…today."

Mark grabbed his chest, "Oh that hurts, buddy."

"Good." Derek stood up.

"What you doing tonight? Wanna grab a drink?"

"Date with Meredith." Shepard said walking away.


CVO: You can mess your whole career up with complications, whether they are public or personal.


"Dr. Bailey, I saw that Dr. Hahn kicked Dr. Yang off of her service," Andrew stated.

"Yes, why?" Bailey asked with a furrowed brow.

"Well, I am a cardiothoracic attending…" he started.

Bailey laughed, "You want Yang? You got her."

"Well, thank you." He said with his McPerfect smile.

Bailey stopped and poked him, "But no funny business, you understand?"

"Okay?" he said.

"Okay." Bailey said leaving.

"YES!" Dr. Johnson yelled with a jump.
