As Bailey moves a nurse out of the way to just take care of Mrs. O herself, Mrs. O explains that she had her gallbladder removed at Seattle Presbyterian three weeks earlier and that she's gone back with some issues but they keep telling her she's fine. Bailey is clucking about her like a worried mother hen while Mere starts to feel her abdomen, and Mrs. O explains that her sons insisted that she have her surgery at another hospital because of all of the O'Malley deaths that have taken place there. She is in quite some pain and sheepishly admits that she's been having some pretty bad symptoms; Mere gently chides her with a smile and she forgets about the pain and gushes about how proud she is of Meredith and how happy she is to have her as her doctor. Mere is uncomfortable with all of this but still gracious. Mrs. O says she could keep hearing George's voice telling her to just go to Seattle Grace and that they would take good care of her; Bailey orders a bunch of tests and then promises that they will do that, with a very pointed look at her still-not-forgiven assistant.

Cristina is waiting with Heart in a Box as Teddy explains that they found a match for "her" at Columbia, but that it will be hours for the team to come pick her up and that she will need her vitals monitored until then. Cristina forgets everything she finally learned and says she'll get an intern to watch it, but Teddy quickly points out that this is a beating heart in a box and that she wants Cristina taking care of something so important. She points out that this will give Cristina time to finish her bucket list, too. She leaves, while Cristina slumps in her seat and shoots some seriously annoyed side-eye to the heart.
