TEXT: Provided by TVTDB.com (Seattle scenes) (Richard sits at his desk) MVO: In the practice of medicine, change is inevitable. New surgical techniques are created, procedures are updated, levels of expertise increase. (George enters the locker room with the new interns) MVO: Innovation is everything. Nothing remains the same for long. We either adapt to change...or we get left behind. (Cristina's interns walk up to her) Cristina: I have five rules. Memorize them. Rule number one, don't bother sucking up, I already hate you. That's not gonna change. (Izzie is with her interns at a nurse's station) Izzie: Trauma protocols, phone lists, pagers. The nurses will page you. You answer every page at a run...a run. That's rule number two. You're supposed to follow me. (Alex is walking through the hall with his interns) Alex: Your first shift starts now and lasts 36 hours. You're grunts, nobodies, the bottom of the surgical food chain. You run labs, you write orders, you work every second night until you drop, and you don't complain. (Meredith is showing her interns the on-call rooms) Meredith: On call rooms. Sleep when you can, where you can. You know, but not with anybody. Not attendings...especially not attendings. Sleeping with attendings...not a good idea. Where was I? George: Um, rule number three. If you're sleeping, do not wake you unless a patient's actually dying. (Cristina is showing her interns the on-call rooms) Cristina: The dying patient better not be dead when I get there, because not only will you have killed someone, you will have woken me for no good reason. Are we clear? (Lexie raises her hand) Yes? Lexie: That was four rules. You said five. Cristina: Rule number five...when I move, you move. (They all stand there) Go! (Alex, Izzie, Cristina and Meredith are in the deserted hallway hangout) Cristina: I hate them.
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.
