Meredith is operating under Bailey's close supervision, and Bailey then asks Dr. Warren how things are going. He says that it's fine and reminds her that everything is the same as it was two minutes earlier when she asked. Bailey looks at him, and you can see in his eyes that he is smiling as he says it. He then adds that he doesn't read Architectural Digest like she supposed, and instead was reading an anesthesiology journal. When Bailey doesn't snap his head off, he forges ahead and tells her he doesn't actually like the sitting part of his job, and that he likes to keep in shape, "so I can lift my big buckets of money." He's making a point while also flirting up a storm, and Bailey finally softens. She tells him that she yells when she's scared, and that when Leslie woke up it was one of the scariest moments of her life and she yelled a lot because it's just what she does. He asks her coyly if this is an apology and she informs him, "Closest thing you're gonna get!"
Callie seeks out Mark and finds him working on a skin graft, which she compliments, and of which he is fairly proud. His happiness is short-lived, though, when she tells him she was talking to Lexie -- he immediately starts whining that she is his friend and not allowed to take sides. Callie tries to calm him down and says she's not, but that Lexie had some good points, but Mark doesn't want to hear it and thinks Lex isn't allowed to make any points. Callie finally gets a bit fed up and asks if he doesn't think he's acting... he supplies indignantly, "mad," "offended" and "disgusted." She shoots back, "Hypocritical, sexist, immature?" It's high time someone just laid that out for him. Mark is so riled up by this, though, that he just yells indignantly that Lexie dumped him. Ah, so there we have the problem. He says that he's mad because Lexie dumped him for doing the right thing, and says Callie knows what a big step that was for him and how much he wanted to take that step with Lexie. I don't know, I still personally see this as a pretty no-fault breakup because yes, he did a good thing, but he also knew that Lexie was skittish and never once actually discussed anything with her about sharing their home and their lives -- which she was skittish about from the beginning, as well as being totally open and honest about that skittishness. The least he could have done would be to try to discuss it, and not just after the fact. And unfortunately for Mark, he finishes up his talk with Callie by having a mini-tantrum and yelling, "I'm not the one who's immature!... And you made me wreck my skin graft!" Arizona's peds patients could recognize just how immature he's acting, and Callie gives up and leaves with her hands aloft.
