TEXT: (Izzie is in the shower) MVO: People have scars in all sorts of unexpected places. Like secret roadmaps of their personal histories... (Izzie gets out of the shower and Alex enters the bathroom) MVO:...diagrams of all their old wounds. Izzie: Alex, God! Alex: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've seen it all before. Izzie: What the hell are you doing here? Alex: Moving in. Izzie: What? (Alex leaves) MVO: Most of our old wounds heal leaving nothing behind but a scar, but some of them don't. (Izzie busts into Meredith's bedroom where she and Derek are sleeping) Izzie: Alex is moving into this house? Meredith: He's taking George's room. Izzie: Why? Derek: I was asleep just a minute ago. Izzie: Yeah, and I was naked in the bathroom when Alex walked in. I'm lucky I didn't come out of the shower to find him peeing all over the seat. Derek: And we're up. Izzie: What's wrong with where he was living before? Meredith: I don't know where he was living before. Izzie: Probably a whore house. I can't have him living in the room next door, it's weird. Meredith: People are what matters. Alex is one of our people, we can't leave him out in the cold. Izzie: People are matters? You don't like people. Is this about your mother. Meredith: No, I had a near death whatever...I was dead and now I'm not so...I'd like to use this chance I've been given to be more positive. People are what matters. Paint with all the colors of the wind. Izzie: Oh, ok. You're crazy now. Meredith: I'm alive. Izzie: Yeah, ok. (Izzie walks into the hall as Alex is about to walk into the bathroom) Izzie: No, no. I'm not done in there yet. (She pulls up her towel) Alex: Oh,
SUMMARY:
The race between the attending physicians for the Chief of Surgery position heats up after a new competitor enters the fray. They soon realize that the new surgeon, Colin Marlow, was Cristina's professor in medical school and they used to have a long-term relationship. When Burke finds out about it he realizes that his and Cristina's relationship is on the rocks. George finds out that Callie's family is rich, but she had previously hidden the fact in order to find out whether George loves her for who she really is, which eventually leads to an argument toward the pair. Webber, Callie, and Izzie treat a war veteran with a bullet in his back. Derek treats his former colleague from New York, but they argue over the best care as Derek wants to push a risky surgery, and his colleague doesn't want any more surgeries. Alex continues to work with Jane Doe, whose memory hasn't come back, and later he moves into George's old room. Meredith and Derek have dinner with her father and stepmother. Meredith starts to connect with Susan, but her relationship with Thatcher seems to be irreparable. Izzie wakes up, realizing that she slept with George while they were both drunk.
