Mere and Cristina are at the nurse's station and Mere just stares at Cristina for a long while as Cristina demands, "What?" Mere finally says it's nothing and so Cristina asks if she monitored Eric the night before. Even though they're fighting, she knows her friend well enough to guess that the weak, "Yeah, I've got it covered," Meredith responds with has a whole lot behind it. Cristina shakes her head and stomps off to go check on him herself, where she finds him sweating and struggling for breath. Cristina warns, "Tell me you paged Shepherd." Meredith responds that Eric wants to die, he's going to die anyway, and if he dies in the hospital they can donate his organs to Jackson, which Derek won't stand for. So, she answers, she didn't page him and she hopes Cristina will just let Mere handle it. They stare at each other a moment, and then look at Eric, who manages to tell them in a shaky whisper, "Help me. I don't want to die." Mere looks gobsmacked as Cristina hits an alarm and yells for Derek to be paged.
