Synopsis
Hookups
Meredith and Cristina open the episode by crying the blues over getting romantically involved with their control-freak bosses. Back at Seattle Grace, Meredith's mom Ellis, a brilliant surgeon struck down by Alzheimer's, is treated for diverticulitis--which unexpectedly becomes the catalyst for several revelations on the part of several secret lovers. Cristina resists the notion of telling Burke that she is pregnant, but this becomes a moot point when she collapses in the surgery room and Addison is forced to perform an emergency operation. A young female patient who suffers from uncontrollable blushing finds herself in the middle of a few interdepartmental intrigues. And George is finally able to get the best of the insufferable Alex when he is handed an unusually difficult assignment.






Recap of Events:

Havoc strikes Seattle Grace when Meredith's mother, Dr. Ellis Grey, is brought to the hospital for having possible diverticulitis. No one at Seattle Grace knew of Dr. Grey's Alzheimer's disease, but after her visit, everyone now knows. George is assigned to her case but cannot help her much because she thinks that he is her ex-husband, Thatcher. There is a possibility that Dr. Grey actually has liver cancer, but that comes up negative. At the same time, Alex is dealing with a patient who has an extreme blushing problem and wants to have surgery to have that fixed. However, she has a chance that many other after effects will occur. Fortunately, none of them do.
While Cristina is in the operating room with Preston, she collapses on the floor. Miranda and Izzie rush her into another operating room, where Addison, who is still at Seattle Grace, performs surgery on her. Cristina has problems with her pregnancy and she will have to lose her baby. It is obvious Preston still has feelings for Cristina, because he is highly concerned for her. He also finds out about the baby by looking on the "Upcoming Surgeries" board and sees Cristina's information.
At the end of the shift, Meredith cracks under all that has gone on during that day and eventually tells Derek that she misses him and it is hurting her. She delivers this news to him only after he and Addison seem to be getting along much better than they had been before.
Alex and Izzie's relationship goes to bigger heights as she defends him in front of the others. She claims that "he is really sweet once you get to know him."

Opening Statement/Quote:

Surgeons are control freaks. With a scalpel in your hand, you feel unstoppable. There's no fear, there's no pain. You're ten-feet tall and bulletproof. And then you leave the OR. And all that perfection, all that beautiful control, just falls to crap.

Ending Statement/Quote:

No one likes to lose control, but as a surgeon there's nothing worse. It's a sign of weakness, of not being up to the task. And still there are times when it just gets away from you. When the world stops spinning and you realize that your shiny little scalpel isn't gonna save you. No matter how hard you fight it, you fall. And it's scary as hell. Except there's an upside to free-falling. It's the chance you give your friends to catch you.
