IT'S THE END OF THE WORLDAirdate: February 2, 2006
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 his chest 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 his way to the hospital to see her and is undergoing brain surgery in Dr Shepherd's O.R. which happens to be next to the room with the explosive-embedded patient.
The paramedic (special guest star Christina Ricci) 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. She is left all alone with the bomb and the patient. While she is panicking she pulls her hand out of the patient, 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.
