Synopsis
Hookups
In the first episode of a two-part story, Burke orders a "Code Black" when a WW2 re-enactor is brought in with a homemade bomb embedded in his chest. There's tension aplenty as the man is brought into surgery while young paramedic Hanna Davies nervously holds the explosive in place and bomb-squad detective Dylan Young tries to maintain order and calm. Elsewhere, Alex and Izzie undergo life-altering experiences that neither could ever have dreamed of; and Bailey finally goes into labor while her husband is nowhere to be found.






Recap of Events:

Meredith's fears that she is in for a bad day are realized when a medical case arrives at Seattle Grace that threatens the lives of everyone in the O.R. A man is brought in with a homemade explosive embedded in him that could go off at the slightest bump. Seattle Grace goes into Code Black Status. Dr. Bailey returns as a maternity patient in labor. However, her husband is severely injured in a car accident on the way to the hospital to see her and is undergoing brain surgery in the O.R. next to the room with the explosive-embedded patient. The paramedic (special guest star Christina Ricci) that has her hand on the bomb (keeping the patient alive and the bomb from exploding) loses her nerve and bolts after the anesthesiologist starts to tell her what happens when people explode and then deserts her. Everybody in the room dives to the floor, expecting to die. There is no explosion--but now Meredith's hand is in the patient, and on the bomb.
