INTO YOU LIKE A TRAINAirdate: October 30, 2005
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 his best by treating other victims of the train crash, he is helping one sister, while the other keeps walking around and answer her phone "Yea where fine", it later when Alex comes back the sister tries to wake her when suddenly she falls to the floor, through the chaos Alex failed to notice a woman bleeding internally which leads to her death.He says she was never his patient.
In the mean time, Addison sees great potential in Izzie, who must decide whether her loyalty as Meredith’s friend outweighs professional gain.
