Quittin' Time

Cristina goes into an OR to find the mystery Dr. McQueen, since she needs his help. But he has already been briefed on what is going on with Roy, and asks her if she's done x, y and z. She admits that she has like it's a bad thing that she knows how to do her job, and also admits that he's stable but adds that he's also critical. McQueen isn't swayed, though, and just asks what she'd do for a patient with what are presumably Roy's symptoms. Cristina's voice catches as she says she'd put in some sort of balloon pump and he pointedly tells her she's right. I guess he never got the memo that she still needs to be treated with kid gloves. He just calls that he'll be there when he can, but it doesn't sound like he needs her at all; she just shakes her head and then leaves, obviously not relishing that she now needs to do some sort of procedure.

Bailey walks into the morgue to find a very dead and pasty Mary on the table and gazes at her for a few moments before finally covering up her face. Obviously this is the autopsy to which she was heading, and after a moment none other than Anna Draper, head of pathology, comes in to conduct it. She looks at the chart and Bailey explains sadly how she just never woke up, but Anna either doesn't notice or chooses to ignore her gloomy tone and just pops a piece of gum, happy that this is something to sink their teeth into. Bailey offers up a list of possible causes which she would like to check on but Anna shuts her right down, saying firmly but cheerily that they have an order of doing things and will stick to that. Bailey, being both overly emotional and also used to being the person who informs others how things will be done, is already not a fan of the woman.

Out in the disaster area, all of the dummies have cards that detail what's wrong with them. April goes through the first one and the poor dude has a laundry list of horrible injuries, but she doesn't realize that he might in fact actually be dead until Meredith points it out. Owen is watching over all of this like a proud king surveying his domain until he sees Cristina standing awkwardly to the side, watching the action. He runs over to her and she claims to need fresh air, but one of those injured dummies could tell that's not really true. She tosses off that there are some complications but claims her patient is fine, and then when she gets a page about him she has to leave. Owen calls after her that she can do this and she whispers, "Okay, thanks." It's not her normal response, and she's still operating in that strange, light, dreamy voice she's put on lately, and she obviously needed the encouragement before going back to face whatever Roy has going on now. After she leaves Owen thinks for a second, then calls Meredith over and announces that she's certified and can leave to go help her friend. Mere is skeptical and pointedly asks if Cristina requested her help but Owen just asks, "Please." Mere doesn't like it, but she goes.
