Burke is reading some papers in a conference room when Cristina enters. She commiserates with him over how brutal the M&M was. He tells her that he went to tell the Chief about his tremor but he couldn't do it. Burke: "I don't know what I'm going to do." Have you tried choking someone? That always seems to solve my problems. Cristina has another idea, reminding him that he can rely on her to help him out in surgery. But he doesn't plan to do any surgery any time soon. He tells her that he's going to catch up on paperwork, and she starts to ask him...something, I'm not sure what. Burke: "I don't know! I don't know what I'm going to do. I need time to think." And choke.
Izzie and George amble down the hall. She complains about everyone thinking that she needs a babysitter, and he suggests they talk about what she's going to do with the money after she gets it in the bank. The door to Pierce and Di's room opens, and George nearly turns around in shock at the two of them lying on top of each other. Addison walks out of the room, and Izzie asks if Pierce and Di are having sex. Addison: "They were having sex. Now they're just fighting." I can't think of a single couple on this show to whom that description does not apply. Addison tells Izzie that it's good to have her back, and Izzie tells her that she's not back (although she is fine). And then a light bulb goes on over her head, and she asks Addison, "Hey, you're Addison Forbes Montgomery-Shepherd. That's a lot of names. A lot of rich-sounding names. You're rich, right?" George and Addison are shocked at the effrontery, and Izzie realizes how rude that question was. But she continues, telling Addison that she's rich now, too. George: "You're not rich until you deposit the check." Izzie asks Addison if she ever feels guilty about being rich. She would ask her friends about it, "but they're all so poor." George: "Standing right here, Izzie." Addison tells Izzie to start by depositing the check, and that the guilt will work itself out as time goes on.
Meredith walks out of radiology with an x-ray in her hand. She holds it up to the light, and when she lowers it, McDreamy is standing in front of her. He tells her that for once, he's not stalking her on purpose. She asks him if the x-ray looks blurry, and he asks her what he's looking at. She tells him that it's a couple that's been divorced for five years, "and still going at it like teens at the prom. So to speak." He gives her a smirk and turns back to the x-ray. She raises the opportunity to point out that she knows about his divorce, and he asks her how Finn is. She does not tell him that she has no idea, having thrown Finn to the curb. He tells her that the x-ray is blurry and walks away.
