"When do I get to be someone other than the guy who repeats his intern year?" (George enters the locker room with the new interns)
MVO: Innovation is everything. (Izzie and her interns enter)
Izzie: This is trauma room one. (The interns are in the hall outside the ER)
Meredith: There's Derek. Alex: Dude, he failed his exam and got left back in kindergarten. Bailey: Who? Can I get something to eat? Do we have an arm? I came to Seattle for you, okay? I know that now. I mean as, uh, chief resident. I would've made an...an excellent chief resident. I'm in charge of a group of interns who think I'm crazy. Instead you helped save the life of a deer. Izzie: Shut up. Lexie Grey. Lexie: My half sister, yeah. Look. Memorize them. Meredith: Have you seen Burke? Meredith: I have a patient with a severed arm and no one seems to be able to find it. No interns. No surgery. She has a right to be damaged, and us, together, it's a big step for her. The doctor can save her. They're residents. This is their first day on their own. Yeah, it's just that Callie gave Cristina the study cards, and Meredith didn't write anything down, and Cristina was planning a wedding, and Izzie...Izzie just had to. You know, but not with anybody.

Summary: Having just returned from her honeymoon with Meredith, Cristina searches for Burke, but he is nowhere to be found. Meredith, Cristina, Izzie and Alex spend their first day as residents with their own groups of interns. Among the interns are George, repeating his intern year after failing his exams, and Lexie Grey, Meredith's half-sister whom she has never met. The residents and interns have to deal with the victims of a multi-car pile-up, including a man who came to life, a pregnant woman who lost an arm, and a man with a compulsive desire to eat. Izzie attracts her interns' ire by having them treat a deer. Now that Derek's relationship with Meredith has reached an emotional impasse, he looks to his fellow doctors for friendship. Webber resumes his position as Chief of Surgery. Bailey wrestles with her place within the hospital now that her former interns report to new Chief Resident Callie, who struggles with her new position.
