Day 10. Bailey is examining Izzie and after confirming she has no pain or dizziness, tells her that she's finally going home. She'll be back in 12 days for more IL2 and a scan two weeks after that, but won't have to live in the hospital. She congratulates her former charge by telling her she's still a cancer patient, but no longer a surgical patient. Izzie grabs her in a grateful hug, but Bailey just looks over her shoulder and holds her arms ahead, uncomfortable, not returning anything. Izzie seems to realize that wasn't quite right but just thanks her sincerely for everything she's done. Bailey clearly can't take it, and responds by telling Izzie to remember to sign a particular form, and then she flees the room.
Arizona rushes into the ER where Andy is back and grimacing with pain and fever. Pam tells her that he was throwing up all night, and orders her not to try and call these growing pains.
Clara, meanwhile, is trying to move her fingers while Lexie and Hunt watch her. Nothing happens and she gives up, frustrated, but Lexie tries to cheer her on and tell her she's doing great. Clara clearly doesn't believe this, and instead has Lexie send another email to her mother. While Hunt watches, Clara dictates one about how great the Grand Canyon is. Hunt, being one of the more professional doctors in this hospital, jumps in to say that he thinks her mom would want to know what's up and help her daughter, but Clara thinks otherwise. Her mom would always say that she made Clara "from scratch," and would use that to discourage her doing the crazy things she wanted to do, like skydiving. She then turns and defiantly dictates the last of her cheery, fake email and Hunt leaves, but clearly he has reservations about all this.
Callie goes into Richard's office and visibly gathers up her courage before asking about her application to be an Attending. He nonchalantly tells her that Dr. Chang's 401K took a dive and he's now putting off retirement. When Callie expresses her surprise, Richard continues his self-centered reign of wimpiness and tells her that he assumed she'd heard. It's too much for Callie and she starts getting feisty, informing Richard that Chang is a figurehead and that when people want the best they page her. She steps too far, however, when she calls Chang a dinosaur and Richard yells back, "And so am I!" Callie just chuckles that he's going to regret this and as he tries to stop her she yells that she's excellent and any other hospital would be glad to have her.
