Henry is back this week, though he doesn't look so good. He opens the door to his apartment to let in Teddy, who is there to tell him if his symptoms are normal or if he needs to go to the hospital. She checks him out as he tells her his blood sugar is low but he has no juice, and then he finally actually sees how she looks -- which is smokin' -- and realizes that he pulled her away from a date. He feels awful but she assures him that he actually saved her from an awful date, and that she got out with the only good part of the night, which was the cannoli. Conveniently now he can use that to up his blood sugar, which should fix him right up for now. As Henry takes a bite of medicinal pastry he has her tell him about the date, and the two sit together all cute and eat and chat.
Alex walks in to Doris' room just as she is trying to light up a cigarette. He's horrified, though I suspect that's more because she could accidentally blow up the room and less because she might extinguish her own life in the process. She is, predictably, mad, but then she brightens up a bit as she asks Alex what her number is. He hems and haws but she browbeats him into admitting that it's actually gone down to a 0.6. She coughs, and as she struggles for breath Alex has a moment of pity and tells her he's sorry. She just spits that he should be, and he's worthless and it's all his fault, and then she screams at him to get out.
Owen is outside and asks how she took it, to which Alex eloquently replies, "Bitchy, because she's a bitch." Owen reminds her that she's also dying and alone. Lexie walks up while they are talking, her hair extra-dark and enviably glossy. Owen starts to leave but then turns back and asks Alex what his grand plan is for Chief Resident. Alex is caught totally off-guard and Owen explains that Meredith and Avery are on clinical trials and April is redoing the surgical checklist, and so he wants to know Alex's plan. After gaping dumbly for a moment, Alex shouts out the first thing that comes to mind: African kids. He thinks he can bring Arizona's would-be patients to the US for surgery. Owen knows he pulled this out of his ass but goes along with it as Alex insists that he's got a plan. Once he leaves Lexie echoes Owen's sentiment about pulling the idea out of his butt, but Alex doesn't have time to argue because Cristina comes by to ask if they are ready for something.
Callie is asleep but Cristina leans over her bed and whisper-orders her to wake up. Callie's totally confused as Avery, Alex, Lexie, April and Mere all follow in and start getting her bed ready for transport. As they wheel her down the hall they hear Bailey's voice and freeze, but Jackson saunters out and makes some lame conversation, getting Bailey to turn her back so that the others can sneak Callie across the hall. Bailey is so confused about why Jackson is asking her stupid questions when she's cranky and working late that she just gapes at him and doesn't notice a thing.
