(Cristina enters Joe's Bar and sits down next to Meredith)
Cristina: The clinic has a policy. (George is at a desk on the phone)
George: So, technically, the paperwork just needs to be submitted by midnight of the day of the surgery to be considered? (Izzie and Alex in the locker room, Alex has ice on his eye)
Izzie: Let me see it. Addison: He asked me to come. Burke! But, really? Emotions are messy. George: No way to clip something like that. George: Well, still. Joe: The bar is my life. Never more alone. Not that he knew anything about it. Ok, hard to tell. She seems sweet. The bartender. The standstill surgery qualifies. They'll bring him back. Well, thank you very much. Yeah, there is. You collapsed! You're pregnant? [SCENE_BREAK]
(Meredith is back in the TTTS woman's room)
Julie: When I found out about the miniskirt, I called her up and took her to lunch.

A: Meredith; Q: Who does Addison request as her intern for the day? A: Meredith's discomfort; Q: What does Addison's request cause? A: Addison; Q: Who requests Meredith as her intern? A: George; Q: Who does Dr. Webber ask to be his "eyes and ears"? A: any information; Q: What does George find it difficult to pass on? A: Cristina; Q: Who tells Meredith she is pregnant? A: Burke; Q: Who breaks off his relationship with Meredith? A: Alex's personal bond; Q: What grows closer between Izzie and Alex? Summary: Joe the bartender collapses in the bar and finds himself in the need of a very expensive standstill surgery that there is no way he'll be able to afford. Much to Meredith's discomfort, Addison requests her as her intern for the day. Still recovering from surgery, Dr. Webber asks George to be his "eyes and ears", but George finds it difficult to pass on any information. Cristina tells Meredith that she is pregnant without revealing the father. When Burke breaks off their relationship, she decides not to tell him either. Izzie and Alex's personal bond grows closer as he shows a more emotional side of himself.
