MEREDITH: He was supposed to clear me for surgery. All you get to do is help me break the tie between the lilies of the valley and the... and the peonies. But I'm also ready to get back to work. But at the end of this day... CRISTINA: Are you trying to talk me out of this? Come on. DEREK: I feel adrenaline. DR PERKINS: I did. I can overrule the counselor. I want a new counselor. MEREDITH: And where's Owen? MEREDITH: When? Owen and I? So the shooting changed me. That's a lot to worry about. The hospital is prepared to work with you in whatever way...

Summary: A trauma counselor, Dr. Perkins, tries to help the hospital staff in the recovery and to assess each doctor's readiness to return to work. This episode includes flashback scenes, to events that happen between the shooting and the present time. Cristina and Owen plan their wedding, (his proposal is in this episode), while Meredith fails to get approved for surgery, as the counselor doubts her moving on. Derek quickly returns to work with adrenaline but worries Meredith when he continuously speeds while driving. This recklessness costs him a seat at Owen and Cristina's wedding at the end of the episode.
