Callie is looking at her dress and her shoes, and while her hair is up in rollers her makeup is all done and she looks STUNNING. Seriously, I'm not sure what's different or amped up for the wedding but she succeeded in following every makeup artist's advice that on your wedding day, you should just look like the most awesome version of yourself, instead of trying anything crazy different. Mark comes in and she asks if she can borrow anything since she's already set with the old, new and blue, but he just tells her calmly that he got a call from Father Brooks. His wife was in an accident and while she is fine, they are at the ER and he can't make it to the wedding. Callie reminds Mark how hard it was to find a minister who would marry them in the first place, but Mark tells her that Brooks gave him some numbers and they can call around. He's staying super calm and level, like he's dealing with a skittish wild animal, but the news is the last straw for Callie. She just gives up, tells him not to bother since the wedding is off, and then she wanders into her bedroom and shuts the door.
Jackson is telling Richard about poor Mouse J, who, he says, "took a turn for the worse." Seriously, in the shot from earlier I thought Mouse J had croaked and somehow mummified -- what I saw looked like a bar of soap crudely carved into the form of a tiny, literally petrified, rodent carcass. However, it seems that Mouse J is actually still alive, and Jackson ran some tests on him to see if he could figure out what happened. After showing Richard an x-ray and a CT with nothing visible on them, and admitting he did an MRI too, Richard starts to freak out about the cost. But Jackson insists he look at the MRI and as Richard comments on the few things he can see, Jackson explains that the problem is just where the device is placed, not how it functions, and that if they move it Mouse J might still have chance to run on his wheel another day.
Alex succeeded in finishing Meredith's transformation from capable doctor to jumpy mess, and she's freaked out when she gets a page from Derek. She finds him holding Zola and adorably introduces the two of them, and then hands Zola over to Mere so that he can so a few quick tests to make sure she's doing well after the surgery, which she is. Mere just asks why he paged and when Derek sends out the nurse and tells her to be honest, she fears the worst and starts to say that if Alex told him anything... seriously, she's going to give herself away way before the FDA can find her out, at this rate. But Derek is too smitten to notice. He just cuts her off and suggests, "Let's adopt this baby." Mere is left literally gaping at him but Derek insists he is serious, and that when he held her the day before and she stopped crying, he felt something different than he'd felt with any baby before, and he couldn't imagine her being with anybody else. He points out that Zola needs a family, and they have been trying to start one. Meredith actually smiles at the idea but she still needs to sit down over the shock of it all. Zola just coos in her arms as she does, though, and her cuteness is so far off the scale that I think she's going to win Mere over in about two seconds flat.
