| Synopsis | Hookups |
| A planned romantic rendezvous for Meredith and Derek is interrupted by a train wreck which brings dozens of victims into Seattle Grace. Among these are a twentyish woman named Bonnie and a middle-aged man named Tom, who form an unusual bond while impaled together on a pole. Meanwhile, a critical operation is put on hold while Cristina searches for the patient's missing leg; Addison and Izzie struggle to save the life of a burn victim's unborn child; and Alex tries to care for his patient Mary, despite the obnoxious interpolations of Mary's friend Yvonne whose ceaseless carping about Alex's medical skills and bedside manner cause him to wonder if he has chosen the right profession after all. | |
| Recap of Events: |
| As Meredith nervously awaits a final decision from Derek, her angst is interrupted when a train crash brings several seriously injured patients to the hospital, including Bonnie and Tom, a pair of passengers who’ve been impaled on a metal pole. The only way to remove the pole from these two is a very risky surgery where one of the two must be slid back on the pole, more than likely causing them to die. Bonnie's injuries are determined to be worse than Tom's, thus she is the one chosen to be moved on the pole. All the doctors involved in the surgery promise they will do everything they can to try and save both Bonnie and Tom. In surgery, after being removed from the pole, Bonnie begins to crash. Doctors work on her only for a short time before they deem her "unsavable" and turn to help Tom, who has a greater chance of living. As the doctors move to Tom, Meredith stays by the dying Bonnie saying "What about her? You can't just leave her!" This particular situation becomes very ironic to Meredith's situation with Derek. She feels that she has just been dropped when Derek returns to his unfaithful wife. At the emergency department, Alex is doing sutures but eventually fail to notice a woman bleeding internally which leads to her death. In the mean time, Addison sees great potential in Izzie, who must decide whether her loyalty as Meredith’s friend outweighs professional gain. |

| Opening Statement/Quote: |
| In general, people can be categorized in one of two ways -- those who love surprises and those who don't. I don't. I've never met a surgeon that enjoys a surprise, because as surgeons, we like to be in the know. We have to be in the know, because when we aren't, people die and lawsuits happen. Am I rambling? I think I'm rambling. Okay, so my point, actually, and I do have one, has nothing to do with surprises or death or lawsuits, or even surgeons. My point is this: whoever said "What you don't know can't hurt you", was a complete and total moron. Because for most people I know, not knowing is the worst feeling in the world. [Sees two people with a pole cutting through them.] Okay, fine. Maybe it's the second worst. |
| Ending Statement/Quote: |
| As surgeons, there are so many things we have to know. We have to know we have what it takes. We have to know how to take care of our patients... and how to take care of each other. Eventually, we even have to figure out how to take care of ourselves. As surgeons we have to be in the know. But as human beings, sometimes it's better to stay in the dark, because in the dark there may be fear, but there's also hope. |
