Synopsis
 Hookups
With the dust barely settled from the literally explosive climax of the previous episode, Meredith endures the one-two punch of finding out about her mother's uniquely colorful love life. Also learning a few secrets is Burke, who doesn't entirely like what he now knows about Cristina. Meanwhile, Alex and Izzie wonder what they can do for an encore after their linen-closet rendezvous; a patient suffering from persistent spontaneous orgasms has the staff all a-twitter; and a blast from the past drives yet another wedge between Derek and Addison with the unexpected arrival of Dr. Mark Sloan.
  • Meredith and George have a one-night stand.




Recap of Events:

Dr. Mark Sloan arrives in Seattle to try to convince Addison to continue their relationship, and is greeted with a punch from Derek. Despite the tension between the former best friends, Dr. Webber allows Sloan (who the female interns dub "McSteamy") to assist Derek in a risky surgery to fix a teenage patient with facial tumors that make his face resemble that of a lion. When the patient dies during surgery, Sloan proceeds with the plastic surgery to fulfill the boy's dying wish of appearing normal. Cristina and Preston's relationship is strained when he learns that she still leases her original apartment. Izzie treats a patient with involuntary orgasms, causing her to satisfy her own needs with Alex. Meredith's mother tells her about having an affair, and after Meredith deals with a cancer victim who is intent on recording angry messages to all those who have hurt him, she confronts her father about the affair. It is the first time she has spoken to him in twenty years. Later, Dr. Webber tells Meredith's mother that Meredith is finding out about their past; due to her Alzheimer's, the elder Dr. Grey thinks that Meredith is still five years old. George is unable to tell Meredith how he feels about her until the end of the episode, when he comes clean and they appear to have sex.

Opening Statement/Quote:

After careful consideration and many sleepless nights, here's what I've decided. There's no such thing as a grown-up. We move on, we move out, we move away from our families and form our own. But the basic insecurities, the basic fears and all those old wounds just grow up with us. And just we think life and circumstance have forced us truly to become an adult, your mother says something like that. Or worse, something like that. We get bigger, we get taller, we get older. But, for the most part, we're still a bunch of kids, running around the playground, trying desperately to fit in.

Ending Statement/Quote:

I've heard that it's possible to grow up, I've just never met anyone who's actually done it. Without parents to defy, we break the rules we make for ourselves. We throw tantrums when things don't go our way. We whisper secrets with our best friend, in the dark. We look for comfort where we can find it. And we hope against all logic, against all experience, like children, we never give up hope.
