Outside, the Chief is looking at the ultrasound image while Meredith holds the sensor to Ray's abdomen. Through clenched teeth he manages to tell her she's doing a good job, and she heartily agrees. This Meredith is such a welcome change from sobby depressed Meredith! Ray then asks Meredith if she can close Stan's eyes, since he is still eerily staring up at Meredith's body as she leans over him to get to Ray. She does, and apologizes sincerely. Just then, the Chief sees what he's looking for and confirms that the pericardium is full of blood, which makes Ray a bit panicky. Richard shouts out some instructions and sends for a pericardiocentesis kit, but talks about how Ray's anatomy is all messed up since he's upside down. Inside, Ray seems just about as happy as you can imagine to hear that.
Bailey and Cristina are done with their surgery, and as they go to scrub out Bailey talks about needing to meet Tucker. After a moment she realizes Cristina is glaring at her, and when she asks what's up, Cristina begins to yell about being taken off Hahn's service. But she's interrupted by George jumping in to say that something is wrong. Bailey clearly hopes that she can ignore it, but George calls for her again, so she gives him a task. She asks him to go out and convince Tucker to wait for her, adding that he's not going to want to, so George have to do it nicely and say "Please." As George leaves, she calls that she won't be long.
In the other OR, Hahn is showing Izzie how Jacob's sternum is all cleaned out, which means they're almost done. Mark asks if she doesn't want to stay and watch him work, but Hahn just shuts him down, telling him how offensive he is. He tries to play innocent -- not his strong suit -- but she calls him on it and asks if he gets away with this behavior because of his looks. She's hit a nerve, but explains, "I'm saying, if you were homely you would have lost your job a long time ago." If he were homely, clearly he wouldn't have been hired by Seattle Grace, the Prettiest Hospital of the Northwest, in the first place. He glares at her as a nurse calls out that Hahn is needed in the ambulance bay.
Lexie's still holding on to Nick's neck and asks if he can reach his call button. Unfortunately, when he moves, blood tends to squirt back out between her fingers, so she stops him and asks if he can reach the phone instead. He manages to do so and is able to put it to her ear, and when a nurse picks up, a terrified Lexie stutters that she needs Sloane paged and decides that she's calling this a code blue. Nick puts the phone down but then panics a bit about the fact that a code blue means he's dead. Lexie explains, "I figure we can use all the help we can get." Tyler the scrub nurse (thank you, knowledgeable readers, for telling me his name!) leads a crew in and they get to work immediately.
