So Callie has pitched the idea that the crash survivors pool their lawsuit money and buy Seattle Grace in order to save it from slowly choking to death under Pegasus's thumb. Callie and Meredith are the most onboard, and Derek seems persuadable once his financial guy tells him it's not a totally insane idea (it helps that Derek's new status as the Pegasus poster boy is totally mortifying to him). But Arizona is dead-set against mortgaging Sophia's future, to the point where she's really insulting to Derek about his "egomaniacal" survivor's guilt, and Cristina basically laughs Meredith out of the room when she's told about it. So things look rocky.
But Cristina is convinced by two things: 1) the interns start talking about jumping ship, and Stephanie in particular is so Cristina-like in her mercenary zeal to be the best, and Seattle Grace is no longer where she can be the best; and 2) Owen tells her he doesn't really believe that the Pegasus deal will truly save the hospital. She ultimately can't tell Owen about the plan, as he's under a legal obligation to be loyal to Pegasus. She does find out that the sale is going down TONIGHT, though, and the only thing the doctors can do to stop it is to resign en masse, thus killing the sale. Owen looks like someone killed his dog by throwing his cat at it.
Arizona is ultimately convinced after Owen is forced to deny her and Bailey's request for genome mapping on a cancer kid, and Bailey makes it clear that she can't stay at a hospital like this anymore. So the doctors all quit, and the sale is dead, and they can't tell Owen, so he feels righteously betrayed, and we end on Callie, Arizona, Meredith, Derek, and Cristina at the Shepard-Grey manse, making plans to incorporate, while Owen stands in the rain, banging on Cristina's door. If this leads to Owen having sex with Cahill over some sense of abandonment, I will revolt.
In other news, Alex and Jo bond further while working on an infant bowel surgery. They see their story of co-workers whose sparring makes them a good team in the parents of the baby. So Alex loooooves her now, even though she's dating someone else. Also, April and Todd the Cute Paramedic plan their first date, and she actually goes to Avery for advice about it, and he manages to get past his jealousy to tell her to just be herself. Which lasts about an hour or so, until Todd confesses his terrible secret that he's saving himself for marriage, and April is so happy to hear it that she totally lies and says she is too, so that should lead to an unbearably annoying revelation in a few weeks.
