Meanwhile, things are deteriorating in Jackson's room. Arizona tries angling his bed differently but admits to Bailey that it won't do much. Mrs. P comes up and starts to talk to her son, ordering him to stay with them and fight, that he doesn't get to go yet. As Bailey watches, a dazed look comes over her face. She then starts to amble down the hall with the same look, and sees Mere and the others wheel Eric into surgery.
Callie has called in Hunt for help with Little Mark, and Hunt diagnoses it as a penile fracture, to Mark's utter dismay. When he says he'll do the surgery Mark freaks, not wanting a "meatballer" taking care of his precious jewel but Callie retorts that Hunt is meticulous and will do a good job. Turns out he's done this a few times before, though Mark can't believe that this is something that he runs into on the battlefield that often. Hunt just tells him, "I don't think you and I should talk about how guys 'run into' this." He then says they need to get to an OR fast so they don't risk permanent damage, and Mark pleads for that not to happen. After they leave, Lexie comes in but Mark is completely embarrassed and sends her out, begging her to not look at him like this.
George has some info for the Chief, who exclaims when he sees the paperwork. There is a patient who is not an organ donor and who is about to be unplugged.
But first! The Drums of Doom have started rumbling as Bailey pauses outside Derek's OR and then, after a deep breath, pushes her way in. It couldn't be more obvious that this is your Scene of the Week, folks. In a quavering voice, he tells Derek she needs him to put down the scalpel, and to let Eric go ahead and kill himself. The music comes to a head as everyone has their "worried eyes" on over their surgical masks.
Derek calmly tells her to leave the OR, but his anger is bubbling just underneath the surface. In her pathetic trembling voice, Bailey tells him that Eric is going to die in 5 days anyway. (Actually, I think it's technically now 4 days.) She reminds Derek that Eric will die in 5 days and his organs will be buried with him which will go to waste, a "crime against life." Everyone in the OR is exchanging looks that say, "She's completely lost it." She tells him that they are only taking 5 days away from Eric and it's 5 days he doesn't want anyway. (Four!) I'll say it. Derek looks completely ridiculous as he stands with his hands folded and his scalpel at the ready, like some figure of judgment, with Cristina and Meredith flanking him and seemingly afraid to make any sudden movements. He reminds Bailey that she took an oath. She agrees, but points out that the oath doesn't make any sense right now, so just stop. Derek explains that stopping the surgery now is the same as if he just stuck the scalpel right in Eric's brain, and asks if that's what she wants. And so help me, I totally giggled when she said that yes, that is what she wants. The acting here was just a leeetle over the top.
