Bailey runs through the hospital and finds Alex having a coffee outside. She tells him she's ready to do the surgery, but Alex grunts that he was ready an hour ago. Bailey points out that she's ready now, and orders him to book an OR. He's pretty rude as he responds, "Fine," with a pissed-off sigh that would make any 14-year-old girl proud. Bailey calls after him to ask what time it is, and he just calls back, "It's tomorrow. His insurance expired."
Rose, in street clothes, comes up to Derek and apologizes about his hand. Derek tells her it happens, but she asserts that they only started happening to her once Derek was in her life. If I keep rolling my eyes like this, they're going get stuck that way. She tells him that before Derek existed to her, every doctor wanted her as a scrub nurse, but now she's just a psycho. Again, Derek is an ass, but he's not responsible for her going, as she says, all Fatal Attraction. She informs him that she has transferred to pediatrics and will be starting the next day. Bye, Rose! You weren't a character I cared at all about from the moment you showed up having supposedly been there all along, and I won't miss you for a second.
Lexie heads out Michael's room and once she reaches the doorway, she's gone through the invisible sound forcefield that means she and Mark can have an entire conversation at normal volume and not disturb (physically or emotionally) their patient who is five feet away. Sloane tells her she has no problem talking to him or to her patients, so why not just tell George her feelings? She points out that he's not exactly the one to be doling out romantic advice, but he just tells her that when he likes someone he makes sure they know it, since life's too short to do it any other way. Lexie sucks up her courage and asks, "What if he doesn't like me back?" Sloane tells her that means he's an idiot, and heads off.
Anna and Sarabeth are in Betty's room, where she continues to ask them what's going on. Sarabeth looks exhausted and says that she can't and won't tell her anymore, and Anna agrees. Izzie offers to stay with her and give them a break, so they turn to head out. As they go, Betty calls after them by name and asks if she's in a hospital. Sarabeth tells her there has been an accident, but when Betty asks about Vincent neither can answer. Izzie looks down and responds that her husband is on his way, and for the first time all night Betty looks relieved and happily repeats that he's on his way. Her friends smile sadly, and Izzie comes over to tell them that this is better for her. Sarabeth thanks her, and then turns and takes Anna's hand, telling her, "Let's check on our husbands."
