Alex and Izzie are joking around about Mere and Cristina getting a murderer; Alex muses that one might try to hire him to off the other. Izzie laughs and points out that actually, they will probably do it themselves. Alex admits that it's weird that they are fighting, which is nice to finally have one of their peers point out. Izzie decides that now is the moment come clean, and preps Alex that she's about to tell him something that will sound weird. He asks, exasperated, if she's breaking up with him but she immediately assures him it's not that. She tells him that she sees Denny a lot lately. Alex admits that it sounds like she's nuts, so she asks if Alex ever saw his dead grandma. I have no idea how she would pull a parallel between Alex's grandma and Denny the Sex Machine, but I suppose at least she's trying? Alex did in fact talk to his grandma, who showed up in a dream to remind him not to play with himself. I... I did not expect that. Neither did Denny, who looks horrified. Izzie tells Alex it's kind of like that and Alex brushes it off and tells her to say hi to Denny. After he leaves, Izzie freaks out a bit while Denny tries to get over the whole grandma dream.
Meredith asks Eric if he's feeling better, which sends Cristina into even more of a snit than before. She stomps off and Eric calls her a bitch, "Not to use coarse language..." Meredith unconvincingly recites that she is her friend and they had a fight. He's still in a lot of pain and Meredith asks what it is in his back, since that knowledge would help them treat him. He explains that it's probably a toothbrush that someone snapped the head off of and then melted down to a point. Mere asks how it got in his spine and he smiles, "Got in a fight with a friend." He then chuckles maniacally.
Izzie is walking around the halls like she actually has things to do when Jackson calls out to her from his room. He tries to trick her into signing the form by asking her opinion about what wishes sound cool. When she mentions the rodeo, he sadly replies, "Some guy says it smells like poo." That guy comes in the door just then demanding to know what Jackson is up to and points out that he's not even eligible since he's not dying. The doctors rib him good-naturedly about his fake-dying and Izzie leaves so Alex can prep him for surgery. Outside the door she stops to look worriedly back at her living beau. Denny tells her that Alex knows, so she should stop worrying. Oh sure, like anyone would really have any idea what crazy Izzie is actually living based on what she said earlier. But Denny isn't just dead, he's now annoying and selfish, so of course he'd say that.
