By Joe R | Season 6 | Episode 23 | Aired on 05.20.2010
Lexie and Mark lay Alex down on a conference table, but Lexie's certain the gunman is going to come back around and wants to move him. Meanwhile, Mark's tending to the bullet wound, dismayed that there's no exit wound, and Alex is grunting sub-literately about how pissed he is. Mark goes to set up a chest tube, while Alex growls to Lexie, "I'm gonna kick that guy's ass when I see him!"
Peds. It's pretty much chaos, and as Two reports (I'm fairly sure this is the intern Cristina used to call Two, yes?) on the all the sick and/or crying kids, they realize they're way understaffed. Callie suggests putting most of them in the playroom, where they can keep an eye on all of them. Two objects, but Arizona thinks it's a great idea. She thanks Callie, who huffs off all "Whatever..."
Meredith and Cristina saunter up a staircase like there's not a gunman on the loose (far as they're concerned, there's not), and Cristina talks out the Owen thing. Mere cheers her up by telling her she's going to be a godmother. Cristina's effervescent about that one. She needs clarification as to what that means -- like, God stuff? Mere says it means Cristina takes care of the kid if she and Derek die. "I gotta admit," Cristina smirks, "I kinda hope you and Derek die, just a little bit." As both women sidestep a lightning bolt, Derek bursts into the corridor. He's all "Uh lockdown! WTF?" Only more gravely concerned. They're still flippant until he moves them into a closet and tells them there's a shooter on the loose. He orders them to stay put.
Bailey's nervous now as she checks on Mandy, though she hasn't yet told Mandy what's going on. After Bailey checks her pager for the fifth time, Mandy calls her on it, and on hanging around the room for no reason, and on Cute Ryan Devlin not being there. Bailey starts to explain but before she gets to "lockdown," Percy bounds in and says "He's on the floor. The shooter." Bailey and Mandy are both pretty floored that there's a shooter, and Bailey goes to look out the door. She sees people scrambling, and then Clark comes into view, shooting a security guard and firing a few more shots around. Shit had indeed gotten real. Bailey orders Percy to hide in the bathroom, then lowers Mandy's bed flat and tells her to "play dead." Okay... that would freak me out a bit. Perhaps to the point that I'd be happy to have a colostomy bag handy. Anyway. Bailey's frantic as she covers Mandy with the sheets, like she's dead. Then, without any place to hide, and Clark heading right for their room, Bailey crawls under the bed. And waits.
