April is worried about Asha since she hasn't eaten since she arrived and still seems terrified, but when April tries to talk to Stark about it he reverts to his most Starkian and refuses to listen to anything she says that isn't about Asha's medical treatment. As he walks off, she seems not to be able to help herself and yells after him that he promised. Stark turns, knowing what's coming, and he's fit to be tied that she'd play this card. April reminds him that they could work together and he'd treat her like any other resident. I guess she already forgot about her first interactions with him when he was a kindness black hole. He icily assures her that he's treating her exactly like he does the other residents. He's not wrong -- He's an equal opportunity jackass. The conversation is cut short when they both get a 911 page.
They run to Asha's room where the little girl is moaning and heaving, and after a moment she vomits blood all over April's coat and shoes. Stark hollers at her to get a gown but April insists that she's fine and keeps working.
The rehearsal over, a frazzled Callie and Arizona are just sitting on their bed, staring blankly across the room. They assure each other that they can handle two more days of family and then can get back to the non-brunching, non-praying life they normally lead. But they manage to laugh about it, and then grin at each other, totally ecstatic that they are about to get married.
Asha is in surgery and her insides are even more messed up than predicted on account of her having some sort of TB that doesn't even exist in the U.S. As Owen goes to work April asks an incredibly intelligent and technical question and earns a surprised look from Stark, who seems to have forgotten until now that April is actually a really good doctor just because he couldn't get over his sad, unrequited love.
Alex and Derek are operating on Zola, putting in her shunt, and as they do Derek tells Alex that while he was unhappy when Alex left the trial, he realizes that Alex was right to focus on working with kids instead, and that his suggestion to have Meredith help was great since she's just the right person for the trial. He might has well have just punched Alex in the gut at the same time to drive the point home that Meredith might not have been the perfect person after all, since it's only a matter of time before the shit hits the fan.
At the coffee cart, Teddy and Arizona have a moment to chat and remind us that they are actually quite good friends, and we don't get to see enough of that friendship with all of the focus on the various romance and sex drama that takes place. They talk about the wedding a bit until Teddy gets a text, and Arizona asks her if it's from "hottie husband or hottie boyfriend?" She really does have an embarrassment of riches right now. Teddy downplays the situation and says that Andrew isn't her boyfriend, but it turns out she hasn't mentioned him to Henry, which speaks volumes. Volumes about her having feelings for both. Teddy just insists, though, that Andrew is just in town for another week and she's just simply enjoying that time with him.
