TEXT: (Meredith is sitting in the bathtub) MVO: Disappearances happen in science, disease can suddenly fade away. Tumors go missing. We open someone up to discover the cancer is gone. It's unexplained, it's rare, bit it happens. We call it misdiagnosis say we never saw it, any explanation but the truth. (Meredith sinks under that water in the tub) MVO: That life is full of vanishing acts. If something that we didn't know we had disappears, do we miss it? (Derek enters the bathroom) Derek: Meredith. (He pulls her out of the water) Meredith, what are you doing? (George's room is empty, Izzie is standing in the hall when Meredith and Derek walk out) Meredith: I was taking a bath. Derek: That's not a bath. I know what a bath looks like. Meredith: Drop it. Derek: Look, your mother Meredith: Drop it. Derek: Your mother...she was lucid and she said things and now she's... Meredith: Gone. Everything's back to normal, it's not a big deal. Derek: Yeah, except she's having heart surgery today. (Meredith sighs and Derek cups her face.) Derek: Hey, you want me to talk to the Chief? I know you have that triage thing today but he'll give you the day off. Meredith: Stop! I do not need rescuing. Derek: You would have drowned in the bathtub had I not been there. Meredith: I'm a surgeon. I do the rescuing. You are not my knight in shining...whatever. Derek: Oh, so we're gonna fight because I pulled you out of the tub. Meredith: You have a place. You could sleep at it. And then you don't have to pull me out of the bathtub. You're everywhere, all the time, saying things. Derek: This is the happy ever after part and in the happily ever after part the guy is there, all the time, saying things. And the girls love it. Mer
SUMMARY:
A mass trauma situation, which turns out to be a ferryboat accident, challenges the whole staff of Seattle Grace Hospital. Webber finds difficulty in coping with his separation from his wife and dyes his hair "for the ladies", which becomes an internal joke between Mark, Burke, and Derek. Cristina tries to tell Meredith about her upcoming marriage, but doesn't have the strength to. George promises to find a woman's son, who has been separated from her at the accident. The woman refuses to go into surgery until she is assured that her son is alive. Izzie has to take care of a man who got stuck between two cars on the ferry, but nobody helps her due to the large number of injured people. Alex rescues a pregnant woman with severe wounds on her face, and promises to take care of her. Meredith looks after a girl who has been separated from her mother after the accident and cannot communicate, but while helping a patient, he accidentally pushes Meredith, and she falls into the water, with nobody but the silent little girl as a witness.
