Back from lunch, Anna plops Mary's brain into a jar of liquid, and when I paused my DVR at this moment I noticed what I had missed on first viewing -- a shot that shows right in to "Mary's" now-empty skull. Nasty. Anna says they are done for the day but Bailey argues that they need a brain sample, and doesn't seem to believe Anna that they have to wait for the brain to firm up in whatever liquid it's now in before they can do anything. Bailey comments that she's not trying to tell Anna how to do her job, but Anna cuts her right off and rightly points out that she is in fact totally doing that and that she's trying not to hold it against her. This Anna is less likable than her Mad Men alter ego but I have to say I'm on her side here, sorry Bailey. Anna defends that this is what she does all day, and then some of her own insecurities pop up as she asks if Bailey think that pathologists choose that path because they couldn't make it as surgeons? Obviously this is something she's fought against before. She reiterates that the autopsy was inconclusive, and that she hates that as much as or more than Bailey does. However, she then takes the biohazard bag o'organs and unceremoniously starts stuffing it back into Mary's chest cavity, more abruptly than I think Bailey would do it even if she wasn't personally involved with the patient.
Cristina has gotten Roy stable but when Mere tries to convince her to go talk to Corrine, Cristina still tries to push the task back on Meredith. She finally says that Corrine really only needs Cristina to know that she is afraid, and while Cristina already knows she can't actually face that because she herself is terrified. She tries not to cry but gets really heated as she yells at Mere that she has been scared all day and is in fact scared all of the time now. When Mere offers to help, Cristina angrily cuts her off and spits that she can't help. A nurse comes in and announces that Teddy is 30 minutes away, so Cristina declares that Mere can help get Roy to the OR and then she storms off, ignoring Meredith as she calls after her.
