Arizona has joined Stacy's other doctors and Dixon tells them she's moving up the surgery, and she'll see Bailey there. Once Dixon leaves, Arizona compliments Bailey on her actions but Bailey tells Arizona in a shaky voice that she should stay since Bailey's not going to be in on the surgery. Arizona rah-rahs that Bailey can handle it and I love that Bailey gets her usual swagger back as she agrees that of course she can handle it. What she can't handle is another child dying. Arizona assures her that most children survive these things and that Jackson's case was special--but then again, even he ultimately survived. She reminds Bailey that kids are resilient, and most likely this will be a routine surgery, which probably means that for sure this won't be a routine surgery. Arizona concludes that Bailey would be giving Stacy back her life, and as they look into the room at the girl and her parents, Arizona assures her she will want to be there for that.
In the OR, Hunt has joined Callie and Mark and is able to stabilize Rob. Lexie runs in to tell Meredith about the seizure, so she takes off, giving Callie and Mark more private time to talk about their sex lives. In the company of all of the various other doctors and nurses. Callie tells Mark he's an idiot, but Mark defends that with Derek proposing, that will make Lexie his little sister. "And I can't sleep with any more of his sisters." Okay, fine: hee! He points out too that she's young and he's her boss, but Callie breaks in with, "And I'm celibate." What does that have to do with the price of tea in China? But she uses it as a convenient way to move her story forward, er, I mean, to tell Mark not to spend time worrying, but to just be happy when he has the chance. "Before you find yourself alone. And celibate." She seemed to be getting better but now is doing worse with the breakup she never mentions (like maybe we'll forget Hahn ever existed) and it all feels almost like it's out of order.
Izzie is walking Sadie through a chest x-ray and doing her own bad job of acting breezy. Sadie wonders why they would be doing an x-ray on a woman with the flu, but Izzie bullshits that they need to rule out pneumonia, and then walks Sadie through the procedure. She's to be quick and efficient, smile, and, "make stupid happy small talk to keep them distracted, and not panicky." Sadie asks a bit pointedly if she should make the small talk now, but I have a feeling I was supposed to read that as her being snide rather than her suspecting that Izzie is feeling panicky. Izzie brushes her off and takes a deep breath so that Sadie can get the film.
