Derek, meanwhile, has apparently decided not to obey his first (correct) instinct to stay out of Bailey's personal life, and instead brings over a guy named Stanton from radiology to give her Tom's CT films. Bailey pulls Derek aside to ask what he's doing and Derek tells her that he's sure she doesn't really want to spend holidays with him and Meredith; while Bailey agrees with that point she tries to tell him that she's too busy and has a patient in for a follow-up appointment. Derek grabs the chart from her and promises to take care of it while suggesting maybe she give Stanton a tour of the hospital while they look at the films. Poor Stanton seems like a nice guy, and it's very sweet when he suggests to Bailey that they look at the scan over lunch. Being new, he has no idea just how scary Bailey can be, but she is quick to tell him. She proceeds to inform him that she's in the middle of a divorce, and that "People call me 'The Nazi' and it's not because of my ice blue eyes." She goes on to say that she likes carving people up and has a child who used to be potty trained and now isn't because his dad is gone, and that she's confused because a lot of people have let her down lately, including herself. With that on the table she asks him if he really wants lunch or just to show her the scan, and he hastily pulls out the film on the spot.
Derek heads off to Bailey's patient, who turns out to be the patient who the Chief nearly killed in surgery a few weeks previously. Derek seems a little suspicious at someone having so many follow-ups for a generally simple procedure, and his suspicions grow as Sheldon, the patient, goes on and on about the level of care at the hospital. He then tells Derek about how he turned yellow, and pulls out a picture of himself looking like he was just dunked in a vat of iodine. Derek's bullshit meter is going crazy now.
Cristina finds Teddy and tells her about Ruthie now wanting a pig valve instead of a mechanical valve; she seems pretty freaked out at having prepared for hours for the mechanical surgery when now she's going to have to do something else. Teddy just tells her she's learning a lot and asks if she should find someone else if Cristina isn't comfortable. Cristina, never one to back down, assures Teddy that she's fine and runs off.
