Synopsis
Hookups
In the conclusion of a two-part story, the Code Black emergency remains in effect as Burketries to remove a live bomb embedded in the chest of a WW2 re-enactor with a very nervous Meredith holding the explosive steady lest it blow the hospital to smithereens. The strain proves too much for Dr. Webber, who suffers what seems to be a heart attack. Meanwhile, Baileyhas gone into labor, but refuses to deliver her baby without her husband present placing Derek, presently operating on the husband for injuries sustained in a car accident, in quite a quandary. And with the whole world crumbling around them, Izzie and Alex pick this time to express their love...in a linen closet.
  • Alex and Izzie have sex in a linen closet during the Code Black.





Recap of Events:


The episode begins with clips from the previous episode, giving those who didn't watch it a clue as to what will be going on. Dr. Bailey is in labor, and is still refusing to give birth. George helps her out by giving her a little motivation, and ultimately holding her while she delivers the baby. Izzie and Alex have some more love-making. Chief Webber is under a lot of stress from everything that's been going on, and it is believed that he had a heart attack. However, it proves to be just an anxiety attack, and he is up and about by the end of the episode. Bailey's husband survives, after going into cardiac arrest. Meredith removes the explosive from the patient and the guy from the bomb squad removes it and leaves the room. Shortly after leaving, he and another member of the squad are killed, when the bomb explodes, and Meredith, who followed the bomb squad officer into the hall, is knocked unconscious. There is a revival of the "shower scene" from the first part, but with a more serious tone. The fully clothed Izzie and Cristina wash blood off the stunned Meredith. The man who had the explosive embedded in his body also survived. Cristina said an "I love you too" to an asleep Preston.

Opening Statement/Quote:

In hospitals they say you know, you know you're going to die. Some doctors say it's a look patients get in their eyes. Some say there's a scent, a smell of death. Some say it's some kind of 6th sense, when the great beyond is headed for you, you feel it coming. Whatever it is, it's creepy. Because what do you do? That powerlessness, not being able to do anything. If you knew this was your last day on earth, how would you want to spend it?
