Boxing Day

Izzie storms in to Bailey, but Bailey brushes her off because of her application deadline. Izzie doesn't care, because whatever Bailey is doing doesn't have to do with Izzie, and launches into how Sadie mislabeled some blood so the clinic might be getting sued. Bailey comments that it's a good thing Sadie no longer works there, then (amen!), but Izzie whines that all of the interns are dangerous and capable of the same thing. She yells about how it's personal since she's worked so hard to teach them, which is a pretty interesting change of heart given that last week all we saw was excitement over the contest. The interns ARE morons, but clearly this isn't really about them -- that, or it's lazy writing that this week we're going to have Izzie hate them. Bailey just turns to Izzie after her rant and asks, "Stevens, you don't think I thought the same thing about you people every day for the first year you worked here?" Seriously, only for the first year? But the Chief told Bailey to get out when she had those complaints, and she wants Izzie to do the same.

Jen wakes up, and happily her speech is normal. She and Rob canoodle but when they aren't looking, Derek does his Furrowed Brow of Worry. Jen asks about the baby and Addie delivers more bad news -- he's stable, but Jen is pre-eclamptic, probably from the stress of all the surgeries. Rob asks if they need to be worried and when he's only met with silence from four doctors, he tells them, "Please tell me we're done being worried." Oooh, Rob. You and Jen are happy and cute, and the doctors aren't answering your questions -- every TV signifier in the book is telling you that you still need to be worried.

It's not clear what the doctors told them, because next we see Derek and Addison bickering outside the room. Addison is arguing that it's a serious condition, but Derek thinks they just had the first ray of hope in a week and she squashed it. Yeah, I'm siding with Addison here, given that it's a serious medical condition. Derek takes off and Addison sends Alex -- after he's told Mere that his guy won this round -- to get some test results. Once it's just the two women, Addie asks why she shouldn't go to the Chief about this. Mere weakly argues that the surgery was successful but Addison reminds her how Derek made a mistake that has caused a series of complications, so why let up on the worrying? Mere actually tells her that he lost a lot of patients in the clinical trial but it was good for him. "He cares more, if that's possible." Really? Because all I've seen is a mopey man-child with no confidence. She tells Addison to try and trust him, and Addie for some reason agrees.
