Susan walks through the hospital lobby. Meredith sees her and calls out her name. Susan: "Meredith! I'm so glad I found you." Well, that's the kind of thing that happens when you stalk someone, Susan. Didn't your stint on ER teach you anything about the dangers of stalking doctors? If you piss them off, they can have you committed. Susan hems and haws and Meredith just wants to know what's up, since she's always so busy at work. Although not so busy that she can't hide in a storage closet for a good cry whenever she feels like it. Susan finally breaks down and tells Mere, "You know, I'd really just love to talk with you." Meredith puts her foot down and tells Susan to back off: "This is too much. Way too much. You keep showing up. I cannot be your daughter or your charity case or the thing that you need to fix." Susan tries to cut in, but Meredith won't have it: "No, no. Stop talking, okay? Stop mothering. Just stop." I love it when Meredith stands up for herself, but she kind of crossed the line between "assertive" and "rude" in that scene. But Susan kind of had it coming.
Alex walks into Crush's room and finds her watching someone on the television spreading the word that she's looking for her family. They banter, and then he tells her to open her mouth. For an exam, you freaks. She wants to know what he's looking for, and he doesn't have a good lie already planned out. So she jumps to the conclusion that someone has come forward to claim her. She begs him for more information, and he tells her that some people looking for a woman matching her description have come forward. The confirming evidence will be whether Crush is tonsil-free. She opens her mouth and Alex confirms that she has not tonsils. And then Crush's alleged parents walk into the room, which would have been really awkward if Alex had found some tonsils down there. Alex tells them that they need to wait, but Crush tells him to let them in. So Mrs. Waring walks up to Crush and tells her, "Your name...is Shannon Marie." You know, they can't keep changing her name on me. Until I see a birth certificate, "Crush" she will remain. Alex leaves the Crush family to have their touching reunion in peace.
George sees Izzie standing...somewhere near the clinic. Bailey walks up to him and gives him instructions on some clinic patients and then asks him to hold down the fort for a while. As she starts to walk away (towards Izzie), George asks what's up with Izzie, and Bailey tells him to mind his own damn business. Except it sounds even harsher when she says it. Meredith approaches Bailey and asks if she can scrub in on some procedure, but Bailey tells her to help George out with the clinic. Meredith watches Bailey walk towards a worried looking Izzie and asks George what's going on. He just hands her some files and yells at her to treat some patients.
