Izzie walks up to Mark and tells him that she got his page. He tells her he needs another cappuccino. Izzie: "Did you think I was kidding before?" He tells her that if she wants in on any of his surgeries she's "going to have to learn to fetch, and stay, and heel." I hope she gets rabies and bites him. She angrily snatches up his proffered cash and walks away. He calls after her, "Don't fetch angry." If I were him, I'd be more worried about her fetching spit. She tells him that his demonstration of bullying has not made her respect him; to get her respect, he'll have to do something to earn it.
Derek is practicing on the conjoined dummy, and he thinks it's way too complicated. Bailey is the only other person there with him, and after he says that he can't do the surgery, she breaks out some of her patented Miranda Bailey wisdom. Basically, she tells him that after what happened with Denny, she was made to doubt herself and feel useless. Making her question herself risked the lives of all the patients she was treating. Derek acknowledges that he feels guilty about failing at Burke's surgery, and she tells him that the surgery was a success because Burke isn't paralyzed or disabled. She tells him that they can do the twin separation surgery, and he seems to believe her.
Mr. O'Malley is being wheeled off to surgery. He hands his wedding ring to his wife, and asks George if he'll be in the O.R. He won't, of course, because family is not allowed in the O.R. Mrs. O'Malley cries.
In the Maximum O.R. of Conjoined Twin Separation, a million doctors are preparing for a million procedures. The twins are wheeled in, and Peter (I think -- Jacob took off his glasses, and they seem to be turned around) says he changed his mind. Jacob: "No you didn't." Alas, he does not do a triple finger snap as he says it. George asks Bailey if he can leave to be with his mom. She thinks that's the right thing for him to do and sends him scurrying. One twin asks Bailey to make sure the other twin comes out of the surgery with a fat ass.
Meredith is surprised to find that Addison is still operating on the baby. Addison is taking longer than she thought she would, and doesn't know what Meredith should tell Molly. Addison looks super hot with her special magnifying glasses on. I also just noticed that she seems to be wearing diamond earrings in the O.R. How classy.
In the twins' O.R., Mark tells Bailey that he would like his intern to observe from a closer vantage point and not from the gallery. Bailey is surprised, but tells him that she doesn't mind. The Chief tells her, "Dr. Bailey, Stevens is without privileges." Bailey: "Oh, 'cause she messed up? Dr. Yang messed up, and she's over in O.R. two right now." Bailey asks a nurse to push the intercom button and tells Izzie to scrub in. Derek notes how complicated everything is. Mark makes a suggestion about how to proceed, but Derek is doubtful. The Chief tells them to just make a decision. After a second, Derek looks at Bailey and then agrees to proceed. Commercials.
