Episode Report Card Lauren S: B+ | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Dance The Night Away
By Lauren S | Season 4 | Episode 10 | Aired on 12.05.2007
Bailey's still working on Shane when a pager goes off, and she calls out that she doesn't care who or what it is while Cristina shoots daggers at her over her surgical mask. The nurse tells them it's actually a 911 page for Cristina from Lexie, just as another nurse pokes her head in to the room to tell her that Lexie called a code blue that wasn't a code blue. Cristina is confused, and Bailey tells her to go find out what's up. This surprises Cristina, who after all she's been through thinks Bailey needs her, but Bailey happily tells her that she's fine and adds, "Go kick some intern butt." It seems that from the midst of her own troubles, she can't see that Cristina's rage is taking on a life of its own, and Cristina stomps out of the room.
While the team works around Nick, Lexie's still hanging out holding on to his artery, and he asks her how she's doing. He calls her Dr. Grey but she tells him to call her Lexie. I do think that by the time your fingers are in a guy's neck, you're definitely on a first-name basis. She asks how he's doing and he admits, "I'm kind of freaked out if I'm being honest. Mostly because you look like Carrie at the prom." He's not wrong, and she tells him that they're hanging more blood to give him. Tyler tells her that he's having a hard time finding a vein because they're flaccid. Nick would probably blush if he had the blood left to do it, but still gets bashful and tells him that's not a nice thing to say. Tyler then sticks him and he screams, causing more blood to start squirting just as Cristina comes in. Lexie says that her hand slipped and Nick begs her not to let it happen again. She explains that she called Sloane, and asks about taking Nick to an OR, but Cristina grimly tells her that there isn't one available, just as more blood squirts through her fingers for emphasis. Lexie very calmly tells Tyler (oh, so now they use his name for the first time all season?) to get more blood, and Cristina runs to get Mark. Lexie starts to panic but Cristina orders, "You can do this. You're doing this!"
Well, will wonders never cease? Mark is actually instructing Alex and showing him something in Jacob's chest, but notices that Alex is only watching the gallery. Mark looks up, sees Ava, and calls out, "That's my face!" There's a moment of confusion before he adds, "Up there in the gallery, I built that face!" Seriously, even if you're a rule-breaker who likes to live on the edge, this whole plan was immensely stupid, and I'm glad that they're finally busted, considering everyone in that hospital should recognize Ava. She seems to realize something is up, and goes from watching Alex with a sappy grin to trying to hide her face. Mark tells Alex that he's busted, but he's saved for the moment by Cristina coming in to announce that Nick's artery blew. Mark tells Alex to finish up by irrigating and packing the wound. Callie seems nervous, but Mark says everything is fine and that he's bringing Nick down, since this OR will be free in just a few moments. He orders them to finish up quick while Alex stares back up at Ava some more.
