"Alex, you can't," Cristina said. Looking at the Chief, "She signed a DNR. Alex, she signed a DNR because knew something like this could happen."
"…screw the DNR," the Chief said.
"Clear!" the chief said, shocking Izzie once more.
"Finally!" Alex said as her heart beat registered on the monitor.
"You're going to have to take the blame for this if she's angry," Bailey said.
"I can do that. She finally remembered. Her memory wasn't crap anymore. I yelled at her. I can take her being angry for keeping her alive," Alex said.
"Her vitals aren't very strong, Alex," Cristina said, charting them.
"They'll get stronger. She just had surgery on her freaking brain, Yang. They'll get stronger."
"We can leave you two alone," the Chief said, hinting to Cristina to leave the room.
After they had left the room, Alex sat in the chair and just watched her. "You have to be okay," he said to her, grabbing her hand. "I can't do this without you. I can't be the doctor I want to be without you by my side. I can't live without you by my side. Please, be okay."
"Alex," Izzie said, slowly opening her eyes.
"Iz," Alex said. "Please don't be mad, but-"
"You went against my DNR," Izzie said, closing her eyes again.
"Yeah. Your memory came back. You were okay."
"If I was okay, I wouldn't have died."
"I don't want you to be mad, but I understand if you are, and I can deal with it," Alex said.
"I'm not mad. But I'll be by your side no matter what."
"What?"
"You said you can't do this without me by your side. Whether I'm alive or not, I'll always be with you. I love you. It's like how Denny's always with me. Before the tumor, I mean. I'm talking about when I felt him near, not when I actually saw him, you know?"
"Shut up and save your strength," Alex said, smiling.
"Okay," Izzie said, fading out as her monitor flat lined.
"YANG!" Alex yelled, starting compressions.
"It's George!" Meredith said, running down the hall towards the group of doctors. "John Doe is George!"
"You're not going anywhere, O'Malley, you hear me?" Derek said.
"Clear!" Derek yelled, shocking George, causing the heartbeat to come back.
"We can't lose him," Callie said, as everyone did their job to try and save him.
"Someone called for me?" Sloane asked, walking into the OR.
"I need your help to remove a part of the skull bone to relieve pressure on the brain, so I can have better access to the clot that is forming," Derek said.
"Okay," Mark said. "John Doe couldn't be in better hands."
"It's George," Callie said.
"What?"
"It's George. Not John Doe, he's George."
"Oh dear Lord," Mark said, working as fast as he could.
"I got a page about John Doe?" the Chief said as he walked in, holding a mask over his face with Bailey on his heel.
"We wanted to inform you that this man is not John Doe anymore," Own said, working to keep the bleeding under control near the pelvis where Callie was working.
"You paged us here for that?" the Chief said, slightly irritated. "Stevens flat lined and you paged us to inform of us of John Doe?"
"Izzie flat lined? Is she okay?" Meredith asked, looking up for only a split second before returning to his task at hand in the abdomen.
"Yeah, we revived her," Bailey said.
"Didn't she sign a DNR?" Derek asked, not bothering to look up.
"Yeah…so what's so important about this man on the table?" Bailey said, switching the topic.
"It's O'Malley," Owen said.
"George?" Bailey said, looking at the Chief in shock.
"Yes, he pushed the woman out from under the bus. He's a hero," Meredith said.
"Well, what's going on? How's he doing? What are you doing?" the Chief asked, stepping closer to take a peak.
"I'm working on correcting the pelvis to that it won't cause anymore problems and give Owen better access to the bleeders around the pelvis. Shepherd is working on the clot in the brain, while Mark is working to relieve the pressure on the brain. Meredith is working on the damage to the abdomen," Callie said.
Suddenly, the Chief and Bailey's pagers when off.
"Chief? It's Yang. Izzie's flat lining again," Bailey said.
"You guys good here?" the Chief asked.
"Yeah, we got it," Owen said as they were half way out the door. "Save her."
"He's flat lining!" Meredith said as the monitor made a continuous beeping noise.
