TEXT: (JOE'S BAR) (Meredith alone at the bar, drinking tequila again) Meredith: I actually said "Pick me." Right? I did? "Pick me"? Joe: I think it's romantic. Meredith: It's not romantic, Joe, it's horrifying. Horror movie horrifying. Carrie at the prom with the pig's blood horrifying. Joe: Ok, fine, it's horrifying. But Carrie took out an entire senior class as revenge. Gotta say, I like that in a girl. Meredith: I said "Pick me." (Izzie, George and Cristina also in the bar) Cristina: When you tell someone "I'll meet you later at a bar tonight," how long exactly does that mean you're supposed to wait? George: Do you think he's really not coming? Izzie: It is getting a little hard to watch. Cristina: It was hard to watch an hour ago. Now it's just pathetic. Meredith: Who's pathetic? (George & Izzie give Cristina a look. Cristina looks away) Cristina: What? Meredith (slightly inebriated): You, who pretend to be my friends are calling me pathetic behind my back in front of my face. (George points to Cristina as if to say her, not me) Why don't you just dump the pig's blood on me now and get it over with? (The door bell jingles as someone walks into the bar. It's Tyler the male scrub nurse. He gives a nod to them. Someone's pager goes off) Meredith (to herself): He's really not coming. (George's pager goes off. In fact every doctor's pager starts going off) Bar Patron: Joe, turn up the TV! (Bar TV is showing a train wreck) TV: A massive train wreck occurred just outside of Seattle just minutes ago. Cristina (looking at her pager): 911. Izzie: We just worked a 30 hour shift. George: I don't have any clean underwear. (They all start packing up their bags) TV: The Vancouver-bound train
SUMMARY:
Meredith nervously awaits a final decision from Derek at Joe's bar, but her fear is interrupted when a train crash brings several seriously injured patients to the hospital and the interns are paged back to work. Two patients were seriously injured in the train crash and were both impaled by a long pole and are stuck together face to face. The doctors must make a tough decision because they realize that only one patient can survive the surgery. Meredith realizes that Derek has chosen Addison, and she is crushed. Alex fails to notice the friend of his patient is bleeding internally and she eventually dies from her injuries. Cristina works on a foot that has been sliced off of a patient, however things get complicated when she and Webber realize that it doesn't belong to who they thought it did. Addison and Izzie work with two pregnant women who are best friends. Addison sees great potential in Izzie, who must decide whether her loyalty as Meredith's friend outweighs professional gain. Derek clears Webber for surgery.
