Susan was basically her surrogate mother. He's making his recommendation to the board tomorrow for chief of surgery and chief resident. It doesn't always come back all at once. Derek: I think he's talking about the wedding. Derek: Drinks at Joe's after work? In a few hours, you people are taking a test that will determine the course of your entire medical careers because the five interns with the lowest test scores will be cut from the program. What about Meredith? He's your husband. Cristina: And you know the material. (She just walks away) She didn't write anything on the test. Bailey: Mercy West. (George walks away and past Izzie who has been watching from afar)
Izzie: George...
(Callie has been watching the whole exchange from nearby)
[SCENE_BREAK]
(George is in the waiting room with Meredith)
George: It's like we're on a train that's going 200 miles an hour, and it would just be so nice to get off and just...stand on the platform, just for a minute. Addison: Look, all I'm saying is that if Richard finds out that you're walking around this hospital carrying another man's baby...
Adele: Richard is not going to find out because neither one of us are going to tell him. This is about Meredith. (Callie is in surgery with Cristina, Burke and Dale)
Cristina: I have to say I don't get it. (Alex enters Jane Doe's room where she is pacing the floor)
Alex: All right, here's the thing...the Seattle police department's been on this for weeks. I think we both wanted it to mean something because...you didn't want to have to feel like that guy that cheats on his wife, and I didn't want to have to feel like that girl who put you in that position in the first place. He is once again left behind.) (Richard is still outside the bathroom)
Richard: Adele!

Summary: The five interns finally have to face one of the biggest tests of their careers, which will influence the rest of their lives as surgeons. Meredith is still feeling guilty about her stepmother's death, but feels confident that she will pass the exam, despite warnings from both Cristina and Richard. However, after her father, Thatcher, causes a scene at the hospital, Meredith finds herself unable to focus and doesn't write anything on the exam paper. Meanwhile, George gets accepted in the Mercy West Hospital surgical residency program and has to face a decision which will change his relationship with Izzie forever. Callie's suspicions of her husband's unfaithfulness grow, and is thrilled about George's transfer to a different hospital. Alex learns that Ava's memory has come back, but he becomes infuriated with her after learning that she is not willing to let her family know where she is. Bailey realizes that Callie's chances of becoming Chief Resident have increased considerably, while Burke cannot get Cristina to talk to him about their upcoming wedding. The attending physicians work with three injured mountain climbers who left their friend behind in order to save their own lives.

Joe and his boyfriend consider adopting a baby, but things go bad for them when their surrogate mother collapses. Addison makes the shocking discovery that Adele, Webber's wife, is pregnant. Webber eventually bumps into her, but Adele hides in the ladies' bathroom, and when he finally enters he finds her collapsed on the floor.
