Burke, Cristina, and Marlowe are in the cardiac patient's room. Burke is going over the details of the surgery with the patient, but Marlowe keeps correcting him and taking away responsibility for things Burke was going to do. Marlowe asks Cristina to hand him a copy of a journal article he wrote on the procedure. As she does so, he can't help but notice the fifteen different shades of pink she's painted her nails. Her fake nails. He asks her what's going on, and she sweetly tells him that she's testing out colors for the wedding. Cristina sounds so sweet, but it's got a nasty artificial bite to it. Kind of like aspartame.
In a hallway, Mark grabs Richard and tells him that he needs to show him something. The Chief is resistant, but Mark pulls him up to a nurses' station and asks a rather mousy looking nurse for some information on a patient. And then he gives a demonstration on how to flirt, quickly reducing the nurse to a puddle on the floor. Of course, it probably helps that he's got the physique of a god and is a known man-slut (meaning that the nurse likely knows she has a chance to get with him if she really wants to). I'm not sure Richard would get the same results if he tried Mark's technique. As the nurse walks away, Mark once again offers his services as Richard's wingman.
Izzie and Bailey are up in pediatrics, waiting for Dustin and Caroline to come tell them that Izzie can meet Hannah. Izzie is sad, and Bailey comforts her. While pointing out how nice it must be for Izzie to know that Hannah has such great parents, Bailey also reminds Izzie, "Doesn't mean you don't want that girl to want you." And then Caroline and Dustin emerge from Hannah's room to tell Izzie that she doesn't want Izzie. She's decided not to meet her bio-mom. I'm completely unspoiled, but I'm betting these people are lying, and that Hannah doesn't know she's adopted. Time will tell. Izzie takes it better than I would, but she freezes up when Dustin asks her if she'll still go through with the transplant. Bailey calls her over and reminds her that if Hannah dies, Izzie will never get the chance to meet her. Izzie takes in Bailey's wise words and tells Hannah's parents that she's ready to start the tests to see if she's a match for Hannah.
Commercials. Really, bingo on television? Truly, we live in an age of wonders.
Crush's "father" is sitting with her when Alex walks into the room. Crush excitedly tells Alex that she's learned that she's a second-grade teacher. Her "father" asks Alex when they can take Crush home. Alex hesitates, and Mr. Waring tells him that they've got a room all ready for her, and have all the diaries she kept over her life. She asks Alex whether she can go, and he comes up with some feeble medical reasons she should stay. She's not hearing his bullshit, and asks if he can't arrange for those things to be taken care of at her house. (And I have to assume she lives relatively nearby, if her "parents" saw her picture on the news and arrived at Seattle Grace within a few hours of her picture being taken.) Alex hesitates, and she pleads, "Come on, Alex. Don't doctor me. Help me get outta here." Alex tries to shift the blame to Addison, pointing out that she ordered straight bed rest until Crush delivers the baby. But he relents and tells her that he'll talk to Addison and see what they can work out. Crush giggles at the idea of going home.
