Synopsis
Hookups
The day's rounds require that George team up with Derek and, less harmoniously, that Callie team up with Meredith. In other developments, Finn gets an update on the well-being of Meredith's dog Doc; Denny is all primed for the transplant, but the donated heart suddenly becomes unavailable, forcing Izzie to take drastic measures; and Callie has something very important to say to George. The episode comes to a shocking climax as Burke is literally laid low by an unexpected catastrophe.






Recap of Events:

Finn diagnoses Doc with osteosarcoma (bone cancer). Derek is still angry with Meredith for dating Finn, while Addison is angry with Derek since he didn't get angry with her for cheating on him, but reacts so strongly to what Meredith does, Addison eventually makes a scene in front of the entire hospital by yelling "I'm not Meredith Grey!" The emergency department is full of people who have suffered gunshot wounds after a disgruntled former employee of a restaurant returns with a gun. One of the victims is a 12-week pregnant woman who dies, but whose parents want her to be kept on life-support so the baby will reach its third trimester. Meredith is assigned to Callie for the day, and Callie is annoyed when Meredith starts asking her for medical advice about her dog. George defends Meredith and tells Callie that if she wants a chance to be part of "the family" then she should help Meredith. Callie does this and is surprised when Meredith thanks her for it, in the end Callie tells George that she loves him but he doesn't respond. Meredith confronts Finn about doc's illness and he tells her that doc doesn't have much time left. She is distraught and he comforts her saying "i know you love him" she responds "I do. I love him so much" which you can tell from her eyes, she is really talking about Derek. A heart is found for Denny, but the donor dies before Burke arrives for the organ harvest. He attempts to get the heart from another donor, but Denny is second on the transplant list, having been entered 17 seconds after the first placed person. On hearing this, Izzie takes matters into her own hands, cutting power to his LVAD (left ventricular assist device) so that he will go to the top of the UNOS donor list. She also does this because she knows Burke will arrive soon and will be able to operate quickly. The gunman from the restaurant finds the manager at the hospital and opens fire. The episode ends with Bailey finding Burke shot and apparently unconscious in front of the hospital.

  • Addison: "I can't compete, he's not having an affair, he's not trying to hurt me, its just.... The only people who don't know that Derek loves Meredith are Derek and Meredith! How can i compete with that?"





Opening Statement/Quote:

In life we are taught that there are seven deadly sins. We all know the big ones... gluttony, pride, lust. But the thing you don't hear much about is anger. Maybe it's because we think anger is not that dangerous, that you can control it. My point is, maybe we don't give anger enough credit. Maybe it can be a lot more dangerous than we think. After all when it comes to destructive behavior, it did make the top seven.

Ending Statement/Quote:

So what makes anger different from the six other deadly sins? It's pretty simple really, you give into a sin like envy or pride and you only hurt yourself. Try lust or coveting and you'll only hurt yourself and one or two others. But anger, anger is the worst... the mother of all sins... Not only can anger drive you over the edge, when it does you can take an awful lot of people with you.
