After Meredith and Christina listened to Izzie's recap, they added little information to what had Mark told her. When they finished, Izzie asked to them to tell something about themselves.
"Okay first of all, you are jealous of me because I was the best intern here and you worship the ground I walk on. You tried to be like me once, but you failed." Christina said with a devious smile.
"Really?" Izzie said in amazement.
"Christina!" Meredith gave her a look. "don't believe a word she said, she was just abusing your condition right now."
They continued talking for while then Meredith and Christina left to attend to their patients.

Meredith was walking towards the vending machine and she saw Alex.
"Hey, have you been to Izzie?" Meredith asked.
"No, and I don't want to." Alex said while getting a coffee in the vending machine.
"But Alex – " Meredith was cut off by Alex.
"Stop! I don't want to hear your crappy advices about me and Izzie getting along with each other. She left me and we're divorced." Alex said angrily and then walked away.

Mark was sitting in his office talking to Derek.
"I heard you stayed in Izzie's bed side when we all left." Derek asked with a small grin on his face.
"Yes I did. .. What's with that look? " Mark raised a brow.
Derek smiled and said, "It's just not likely you to stay and chat with patients. You and Izzie are not likely friends. What did you tell her? Oh wait, I know… " Derek giggled "You told her that when you see her, she looks naked or something like that…"
"What? I am not like that at all! Well, I used to be but I'm a changed man after Lexie and I broke up and the whole my-seventeen-year-old –daughter was pregnant thing." Mark replied.
"Is that so? Then why did you stay"
"Well, all of you left so I decided to stay for a while and chat. I have nothing better to do anyway."
"Whatever the reason is, I think it is more than that." Derek smiled then walked out of Mark's office.
"Hmm.. I don't even know why I stayed" Mark said to himself smiling.
That day Miranda, Richard and some of the interns before came to visit her too. Lexie came but she did not say a word about her relationship with Alex.

The Next Day
Mark passed by Izzie's room.
"Hey, you'll be in surgery in a few minutes right?" Mark asked.
"Oh, Mark, yeah I'm quite nervous."
"Well don't be, I'll be there to make sure that Derek won't make any mistakes."
"But you're a plastic surgeon and I'm having a brain surgery."
"I know a thing or two about brain surgery. If you must know, you performed a brain surgery alone using nothing but a hand drill and your own hands in the field of accident once. And you couldn't have done it without my help. "
"Really? If I was alone, how did you helped me and why you, not Dr. Shepherd?"
"You called me.." he said giving a McSteamy look, " and I think Derek was still in the field of accident and you can't go to him cause your patient is already dying."
"I called you?" Izzie said raising a brow.
"Technically, you called the hospital and the nurse gave it to the chief, and the chief asked me to help."
They were interrupted when an intern went inside to prep Izzie for the surgery.
"Well, see you in surgery." Mark said leaving.
