Season 6, Episode 15

Derek and Richard

The Chief talks about his group of residents with an AA meeting, where he also announces that he's 45 days sober. But that doesn't mean he gets his job back.

Derek tells him it'll be a while before the board is willing to consider reinstatement, and he's been authorized to offer him a general surgery attending position.

The Chief refuses, but ends up participating in lecture day, in which he, Bailey, and Callie share stories about some of their most significant cases.

Richard and Ellis

The Chief's story as part of said lecture series is very interesting, as it gives us a glimpse into what Ellis Grey was like when she was younger.

It's 1982, and Richard's the only African-American resident in the program and Ellis is the only woman. They both take their share of abuse.

Ellis and Richard work on a patient with mysterious symptoms that the suspect is GRID (Gay Related Immune Deficiency, an early name for AIDS).

The patient throws a fit and threatens to sue for slander, and their attending has no interest in trying to save a lost cause.

The point of the Chief's story, in addition to showing us how he and Ellis fell in love, is perseverance and fulfilling the oath to always do right by your patient and fellow clinicians.

The patient ended up back in the hospital with complications from Kaposi's Sarcoma, and even though they had no idea what caused his disease or how it spread, they operated.

They were there with him when he drew his last breath after suffering complications from pneumonia. Richard and Ellis clearly struggled with their affair morally, as all she wanted was for them to leave their marriages and be together.

We also got to witness Richard's transformation from a straight arrow to someone whose road to alcoholism was paved early.

No matter how much you think you can keep from losing your way, you can. As he retakes the Physician's Oath from the stage, and it's more inspiring and effective than any kind of apology he could ever have offered - and the whole room lights up.

Bailey

We're back to her intern year, 2003, at Seattle Grace, when she was meek and quiet, with long braids, pink glasses frames and a resident who was pretty much downright evil.

Bailey proves that she's a born (and magnificent) teacher in recounting her case, supplementing her storytelling with chocolates thrown to those who correctly answer questions.

Bailey's patient was a young woman with chronic pain who had been through many surgeries, including having her ovaries removed, yet nothing worked.

She diagnosed it as an appendicitis and got to operate with the Chief monitoring - and was wrong.

"Surgery is a shark tank," the Chief tells her. And she needs to make sure she's a shark too, with teeth - not a minnow.

The patient came back again, and they still couldn't figure out what was wrong. The resident keeps stealing her ideas about what could be wrong and taking credit.

Bailey frets to Joe about being a minnow in the shark tank. The next time the patient comes back, Baile cancels her surgery, incurring the wrath of her resident but diagnosing correctly and saving the patient one more surgery.

The patient's history is the most important part of diagnosis. She goes off on her superior and the Miranda (not Mandy) Bailey that we know and love is born.

Callie

After an awkward beginning, Arizona and Alex push her to tell the story of Sunder, a graduate student whose legs had been twisted and his lungs damaged by polio as a kid.

The case is supposed to have come up in Callie's third year of residency, and Alex, during his intern year, assists her.

Callie does a remarkable job during the first surgery, but is forced to end it after eight hours because of the patient's weakened lungs.

Yet he's willing to move forward, and they end up doing a series of surgeries that are incredibly grueling for the poor patient.

But he ends up walking.

Amusingly. Callie mistook Alex for George, having heard about their exploits with heart surgery in the elevator, and he doesn't correct her - which becomes a problem when the patient crashes in surgery and she needs him to work on his heart.

They celebrate their patient's success by hitting the sack in Callie's makeshift living space in the hospital basement. 'Member that?

Season 6, Episode 14

The roof of a fancy restaurant caves in, causing huge casualties.

A and her husband both suffer rough injuries. He's having a tough time of it in surgery, she's faring better, and in the next bed is Emil, the head waiter at the restaurant who's secretly been in love with her for 15 years.

He slipped Alex $50 to share the room with her. When he thinks she's asleep, he tells Alex and Meredith about how he's known her for years, watched her with her husband, and loved her from afar.

He knows they're unhappy because their conversation has dwindled. He can see she's scared that her husband will die and she'll be alone, but she'll never have to be alone if she doesn't want to be.

She's awake and she's heard everything he said.

Meredith and Alex take bets on whether they'll tell another they love each other, as Alex, Meredith and Cristina snark about marriage while eating the chocolates Alex took from a guy in a coma.

Unfortunately, the wife has complications, then Emil has to go to surgery with a brain bleed as her husband runs into some hairy complications on Bailey's surgical table.

In the end, she survives and her husband survives, but Emil does not. She explains to Meredith that she chose her husband over Emil and made a choice, and she continues to do so every day in her happy marriage, she's still heartbroken.

A dishwasher's arm was also amputated in the wreck. He desperately wants them to save it, and makes the case to the newly blonde Lexie and Avery.

Lexie's gone "Trauma Room Barbie," as Avery puts it, in an effort to move on after the breakup with Mark, and he bucks her up and basically pushes her into becoming more assertive so she'll be treated differently.

He does this with a speech about how tough he's had it, being so good looking that his family never expected anything from him.

Lexie talks Mark and Owen into reattaching the guy's arm even though both the arm and the amputation site were damaged and contaminated and they keep the blood supply flowing by attaching it temporarily to his torso.

But Lexie talks him down from feeling like a freak,and then goes and sleeps with Alex again.

Bailey comes into the scene trailed by Callie and Arizona, who are all about Valentine's Day and their gifts for one another. They're mostly forgivable, though, until they see Bailey get all flustered with the cute anesthesiologist when he asks her out to dinner.

It continues when Arizona dives headlong into not at all subtle hinting about them dating while they're all in surgery, and finally Bailey confesses to him that she goes stupid around him because she likes him.

And that she'd be cool with going to dinner.

Mark's all excited about being a granddad, and buys a crib. Then Sloan turns up, interested only in getting official proof that the baby is healthy so she can move forward with giving the baby up for adoption.

Callie forces her hand, and she confesses her plans to Mark, saying that she's not ready to be a mother. He offers to adopt the baby, and Callie pledges her help in raising him.

So Sloan agrees to at least discuss the idea and work it out. But Callie catches her sneaking out of Mark's apartment, and she admits that she only wanted money and a place to stay for a while.

She didn't expect Mark to start caring. She wants the baby to be someone else's, she says - her father got a clean break, she feels she deserves the same chance.

Callie sends her off with some stern warnings about taking care of herself and a wad of cash, and then has to break the news to Mark about what happened.

Teddy's trying her hardest, but Owen won't even look at her - and what breaks her heart is that he's her best friend and she misses him. She misses her friend and that - along with the job and the amazing student - is more important.

She'll deal with the rest. She's going to be fine, and they're going to be friends, Teddy tells Owen. We'll see.

Derek's learning that being the chief of surgery is a lot more than being in the OR. It's also a lot of administrative work, talking to the press, fundraising efforts.

He's rehired April Kepner, but instead of doing surgery she's focused on helping him with administrative duties. Which includes calling Meredith "Mrs. Derek Shepherd" which is weird.

April is really doubting that she's cut out for surgery, but Derek steps up and gives her a great pep talk about her abilities.

Meredith, predictably, gets all twitchy about the idea of having to play Derek's wife occasionally, but does a little manning up of her own and shows up for him.

And after she's appalled by the placard announcing the reception honoring "Dr. and Mrs. Shepherd," tells Derek he's got some serious making up to do. Sex style.

"Yes, dear."

Season 6, Episode 13

Plenty going on this week at Seattle Grace. Let's break it down by story line:

Derek and the Chief

The board has appointed Derek interim Chief. They've presented Webber with a choice: either quit and walk away, surrendering your medical license, or go to rehab and come back to your job.

Richard is so angry at Derek, that's making this emotional choice even harder.

Derek's understandably nervous about the new gig and his initial speech to the staff is terrible. His screaming match with Richard that everyone ends up hearing is even worse.

Meanwhile, Dr. Bailey's patient wakes up on the table during surgery, and is confronted with Bailey yelling at the anesthesiologist and Meredith trying to soothe her back to sleep.

Consequently, the utterly traumatized patient doesn't want Bailey anywhere near her when she wakes up, and when she requires another surgery she insists that Meredith do it.

Bailey unloads on anesthesiologist, who came from Mercy West and who she doesn't hesitate to accuse of negligence. However, it turns out that the patient has a condition that allows her to metabolize the anesthetic faster than normal.

There's no way he could have known, in other words. Forced to apologize, or close to it, Bailey and the new guy bond. That should be interesting.

After successfully mentoring Meredith through the surgery, she counsels Derek to do apologize to the patient, and to the staff. It's what Richard would do.

Which he does, insisting that he wants to honor the legacy of Richard and start freshm which means hiring back some of the laid-off staff.

The Chief goes to rehab.

Arizona and Alex

Arizona's working with Alex on teenage boy with intermittent stomach pain. His unsympathetic dad thinks he's just faking it, and they end up doing exploratory surgery to try to figure out what's wrong.

Alex stands up for the boy and for the doctors. While the kid is in intensive care, his father lays into Alex about how much this is costing him when he starts bleeding hugely from his chest tube.

Teddy gets called into surgery and ultimately they save the day. Alex berates the father until Arizona pulls him away and counsels him to knock it off.

But all in all, Alex earned Arizona's respect with passion and commitment to the peds rotation, and it looks like that partnership will continue.


Cristina and Owen

Intense week on the Owenstina front. A hot one! They're intimate all over the place to the point where Cristina ends up with burns from a session in the boiler room.

Teddy decides to use Avery on her service rather than Cristina, except for when she really needs her in the kid's surgery. Then she pages Yang. Uh oh. Crunch time.

Owen's urges her not to leave him, and Cristina uncharacteristically ignores her page. Later, Teddy berates her for ignoring her page. Owen tries to help, but it's no use.

She accuses him of trying to subdue and control her with sex, and he despairs that she doesn't give any of herself to him, so he can't know her.

He didn't know, for example, about her engagement to Burke until it came out in a conversation with Derek and Mark.

She insists that Burke isn't relevant to their relationship, and finally breaks down and explains that that relationship took pieces of her away, slowly but surely.

She's terrified it'll happen again, just as she's getting herself back, and confesses that when he made her not answer the page, he took a piece of her away.

Lexie and Mark

He's still upset she slept with Alex after breaking up with him ... even though he was with Addison.

She tries to talk to him, he ignores her. In frustration she turned to Callie and explained her side.

Callie talked to Mark and he warned her not to take Lexie's side, and so it goes. It is complicated.

Lexie got incredibly upset when she ended up having to be on an elevator with Mark.

Mark's venting over the situation brought no sympathy from Derek, for obvious reasons. The best part was the shot of Mark in bed with Callie and Arizona, a la George lying with Meredith and Izzie.

Season 6, Episode 12

Derek has a shouting match with Meredith over whether he should tell the hospital board that the Chief fell off the wagon（禁酒をやめて又飲み出す）. He didn't go to the board right away because Meredith pulled out her trump card: Post-It style.

So Derek tries to find a new way to deal with the Chief - first complaining about the lack of sterile（無菌の、殺菌した） supplies, then offering his help, which the Chief rebuffs（断固たる拒否、ひじ鉄砲）.

Then, Derek points out that he's not operating and only teaching Meredith, the Chief decides it's time to get back into surgery. He plans for Avery and Meredith to join him - and for Meredith to perform a very intense procedure.

Bailey is really angry, and unloads（打ち明ける、暴露する） to Derek. That morning she performed an incredibly interesting and difficult procedure involving "hot" chemotherapy in the body cavity, and the Chief wasn't there to see it.

Now he's got Meredith scrubbing in on a seven-hour surgery? The Chief's judgment is not clear and rational（理性的な、分別のある）, she tells Derek, who eventually mans up for Bailey after talking to Owen about weighing the risks of engaging in battle.

What Derek does is bring a bottle of scotch to the Chief, pour him a glass, and imply that he'll drink it, even if he doesn't want to. Wow.

Bailey takes over the Chief's surgery because he's in his office sleeping it off, and Derek tells Meredith he'll hire back Izzie (more on that later) if the board makes him Chief, he tells her.

Eventually she relents優しい気持ちになる、同情的になる）, although she's left wondering if it was the right decision.

The question of the night for Teddy and Cristina and Owen is career vs. love to begin with. Much as she wants to take back her previous comments, the more Cristina thinks about it, the more indignant（怒った、立腹した） and unabashed（平然とした、ものおじしない） she gets about prioritizing her career.

Meredith warns her to keep this internal debate to herself.

But after listening to her opera singer patient with lung cancer explain how badly he needs his work, she tells Teddy that between fulfilling her gift and a guy, she chooses her gift.

Drunk Teddy spills the beans to Owen at Joe's, telling him that Cristina offered to give him up. In the end, poor Owen confronts Cristina and tells her that while surgery matters, people matter, and their relationship matters. Cristina's eyes well up as she surrenders to their relationship.

Izzie's back, and she seems to think she and Alex will be OK. She's applying for jobs and wants one in Tacoma because it's close by. An hour earlier, Meredith discovered him in the sack（寝床で） with Lexie they agreed to keep their mouths shut.

Eventually, Alex confesses that he slept with someone else, and Izzie seems genuinely（誠実に、真に） intent（意向する意志、目的） on making things right between them.

She also seems to have gained a little perspective（相対関係、全体的に正しく見る）, finally understanding that for her love is more important than career.

Alex is working with Cristina and Teddy on the opera singer, and from talking to the guy's suffering partner he realizes how torturous it is to be involved with someone who doesn't respect them.

When he finds out that Izzie's scans are clear, he tells her how happy he is for her, but that even though he's no saint he deserves to be with someone who will stay.

So she decides to leave again, even after Meredith giving Derek the OK to go to the hospital board means she has a job again.

Despite Meredith asking her to stay, Izzie's moving on.

Finally, Callie gets chicken pox. Arizona puts her in quarrantine（隔離） and says since she hasn't had the pox or the vaccine, she can't take care of her, and puts Lexie in charge.

Then Mark shows up, back from L.A., confessing to Callie that he slept with Addison and helping scratch her itch. Literally. Arizona confesses that she really just didn't want to deal with Callie with pox because it's not sexy.

Mark blurts（口走る、うっかりしゃべる） out his Addison liaison（連絡、通信） to Lexie, who's relieved and tells him about Alex. But Mark gets all hurt, leaving Lexie staring after him.

Season 6, Episode 10

Mark

Dr. Sloan has no idea his life's about to be turned upside down by the arrival of a young blonde who turns out to be his 18-year-old daughter.

Her name? Sloane!

He has absolutely no idea to how to cope with it or how to talk to her, even when she stays with him and Lexie through the holidays.

Everyone thinks the daughter is a totally out-of-the-blue surprise, but Mark confesses to Derek that he knew his girlfriend 18 years ago was pregnant.

He gave her some money, skipped town, and assumed that was the end of it. Now the guilt is killing him.

Finally Lexie forces him out of his cowardice and he learns that the girl is pregnant, dropped out of school, was kicked out of her mother's house and has nowhere else to go.

We'll be interested to see where this goes.

Mer and Richard

Meredith knows the Chief knows that she knows he was drinking at Joe's. But what's interesting is how he handles it: he offers to become her mentor in the skills lab.

His alcoholism was "misdiagnosed（誤診する）" years ago, he tells her - what he really had was situational depression. Astonishingly, she believes him.

By Christmas, Meredith and the Chief are practicing skills on cadavers（解剖用の死体）, and she's urging him to make up with Derek. He eventually does, but mostly because of the case Derek's working on with Mark and Arizona.

More on that later. At Christmas dinner, the Chief's drinking egg nog - which doesn't go unnoticed by Thatcher, an alcoholic himself.

She puts Thatcher in his place, but he's made her think.

By New Year's, the Chief's explaining his shaking hands by telling Meredith that he recently had his last drink, and it'll stop soon.

Then Joe pages her to the bar, where the Chief is pretty drunk, and we get to see Meredith uncomfortably realize she has to do ... something.

Miranda

Bailey's worried father arrives on her doorstep at Christmas, hoping to find out what's up with her.

He's appalled that she has no Christmas tree and that Tuck's away visiting relatives with his father.

He's even more appalled that she's fixing some guy's hernia on Christmas rather than being with her family.

Bailey invites herself to Christmas dinner at Derek and Meredith's, because if her father doesn't see evidence of some kind of life he'll never leave.

At dinner, she has it out with him over her life being happy and Tuck's life being happy too.

Later, Bailey's dad gets to see Tuck for himself, and realizes his daughter was right, the kid's doing just fine.

He and her mother are just worried about her, he says. They make up.

Cristina, Teddy and Owen

Cristina is thrilled to be working with a cardio god, who takes out a woman's heart to outfit her with two devices that keep her circulation going.

That's right, no heart.

The patient, Kelsey, is being attended to by her not-quite boyfriend, who went on four dates with her. Turns out he's an amazing guy.

Kelsey needs to hang on until New Year's Eve, Cristina says, when the drunk driving accidents will surely make more organs available.

She finally manages to get a heart - and a proposal from her man.

Teddy and Owen, meanwhile, have been alternately awkward and smitten and Cristina notices the way Owen's been looking at her.

Owen confronts Teddy, admitting he had feelings for him and forcing her to admit she's in love with him. Then he says he's in love with Cristina.

Cristina confronts Owen, telling him he shouldn't be with her because he feels like he owes her. He plants a kiss on her and assures her he loves her.

Arizona and Derek

Der and Arizona treat Nicholas, a little boy with terrible nosebleeds caused by AVM, a cluster of malformed blood vessels（血管） in his brain.

They convince his nervous parents that he needs surgery, but when he gets in there Derek finds he can't reach the vessels.

They don't have instruments small and nimble（巧妙な、す早い） enough to allow them to go in through his sinuses（曲がり、副鼻腔洞）.

But, Nicholas' mother points out, the tools need to be developed by someone, so why not them?

Arizona and Derek work with Mark to develop the tool, but they go over budget and their funding gets cut off.

They offer to put their bonuses toward finishing the research, but there are no bonuses this year. So they end up splitting the costs between them.

On New Year's Eve, the tools are done and they get the job done.

Season 6, Episode 11

In part one of a Grey's Anatomy / Private Practice crossover, Derek's working on Tom Kates, Seattle's star pro quarterback who suffered head and neck trauma after an ugly hit he took on the field.

It turns out he's got a concussion（脳振とう、衝撃） and needs to have his spleen（ひぞう） removed, which will bench him until next season. He lights up when he sees his wife and baby son.

Then he has a panic attack when Derek talks about him playing again. He confesses he doesn't want to play any more. He used to be able to fight through his fear, but now that he's a father he realizes what the game can do to him.

But he's two years into his pro career - he can't quit now.

Derek and Callie take a look at Tom's knees, which are legitimately（正当な） shot, and Derek realizes that they've found a way out for him - a knee replacement surgery that would effectively end his career and would not make it look like he walked away.

Alex and Reed (who's messing with Alex and seems to have led him and others to believe she'd trade sex for surgeries) assist, and Callie reminds them that it's not a game, it's the man's career.

In the midst of this, Derek sniffs out（見つけ出す、嗅ぎ出す） a problem with the Chief. He's helping Bailey with the follow-up on the gall bladder （たんのう） patient whose surgery the Chief messed up a couple of months ago, and Derek picks up on the fact that a mistake was made.

The Chief hasn't been in surgery since.

He basically bullies the Chief into taking Tom's spleen surgery, then confronts Bailey with his suspicions when he doesn't show up. Meanwhile, the Chief, in his role as mentor to Meredith, has been watching old films of her mother's surgeries with her.

Meredith ultimately confesses to Derek that the Chief's drinking again.

Elsewhere, Teddy hands Cristina a solo cardiac（心臓の） surgery - replacing a patient's valve with a mechanical one.

Cristina spends all day preparing for it, and Teddy steps aside to let her learn on her own. The patient can't decide what valve she wants, so Cristina brings them both for her to try to get a feel for.

She finally decides on the porcine (pig) valve, and Cristina's rocking the house in surgery with Teddy looking on. Then things go incredibly bad. The patient is out of control, Cristina doesn't know what to do, and Teddy won't step in.

A worried Owen runs in to the OR to try to get Teddy to help, until Cristina throws him out. Then she figures out what to do, and she's fine. It worked!

After the surgery, Owen confronts Teddy, who swears she wouldn't have let the patient die, but correctly says that Cristina needs to be pushed.

Owen asks if Teddy didn't step in because of the situation between them. Owen goes to find Cristina, who's abolutely thrilled that she got to learn and fly on her own in the surgery.

And he crushes her a little by telling her Teddy's leaving Seattle. Cristina chases after Teddy and offered her anything she wanted to get her to stay - and agreed without hesitation to give up Owen to make it happen.

Finally, Mark's daughter, Sloan, is still living with him and Lexie, and he's embraced his role as a father, which is driving Lexie crazy.

More importantly, there's also a problem with her baby - a couple of pieces of amniotic（羊膜の） tissue are threatening the tiny boy's limbs（手足、四肢） as they develop.

Get me Addison Montgomery, he says!

Understandably, younger Sloan knows she's ill-equipped to deal with raising a special-needs baby. But when Addison operates, she discovers an AVM (a tangle of blood vessels) that she's confident she can work around, but Mark shuts down the surgery, saying it's too dangerous.

His interference（妨害、干渉） leads directly to two developments: First, he tells Sloan, without asking Lexie first, that he wants her to live with them and they'll help her raise the baby. Second, he takes Sloan to Los Angeles so Addison can operate.

Lexie tells Mark their relationship just ended, and goes back to Meredith's house, where she hooks up with Alex, who's there because he had to get out of the trailer.

Continued on the ensuing（次の、あとに続く） Private Practice episode "Another Second Chance" ...

Season 6, Episode 9

Owen has a present for Cristina. That being Teddy Atlman. Teddy is a cardio god. Or goddess. Yang is not Yang if she is easily pleased, so she wants to know things about Teddy and why she hasn't heard of her.

At first, Teddy is just adjusting a bit from spending so much time in Iraq, but Cristina takes that to mean she doesn't know what she's doing at all.

Eventually, Cristina ends up liking Teddy a lot because she let her do some highly risky and difficult procedure. She's a really good teacher, too.

Don't judge a book by its cover.

However, her relationship with Owen is intriguing（非常におもしろい、興味をそそる）. She's not an ex, but she has a thing for Owen, she reveals. It's interesting to see where this goes.

Elsewhere（よそで、他の場合）, Adele sort of accuses Bailey of having an affair with the Chief simply because the latter didn't go home. She's not, but something is up with Richard.

In the end, Bailey conceded（認める） that the Chief can indeed be her work-husband. After the Chief decided to take a break from his surgical duties, Bailey takes over for him.

But what is wrong with this guy? He botched（だめにする、台無しにする） a surgery and Bailey had to redo it. Later, we find out.

Oh yeah, Izzie is back at Seattle Grace. She was living with her mom in Chehalis, and only showed up because her high school teacher and mentor, Dr. Singer, had a problem remembering ... anything.

That case was great to watch - they figured out that he had fluid blocking his brain from receiving ... well, something. You gotta love Derek, though, and Izzie telling the Chief to do the surgery or else.

The first time Alex saw her, it was heartbreaking, his expression saying, "What the hell, Izzie," a combination of sad and mad.

They weren't talking at first, and when they finally did, Izzie started blaming Karev for getting her fired, which is did not sit well with him.

Alex says she didn't give him the benefit of the doubt, made a conclusion, and just went away. He can't forgive her either, he says.

The Chief, finally, concedes that he's exhausted, hands over all his surgeries to Bailey, after botching an otherwise routine surgery.

There's a Chief montage while he's drinking, and he really does appear under the influence. Poor guy.

Season 6, Episode 7

Tonight's Grey's Anatomy was all about Derek, and finding your peace.

However you can do it, that's how you do it.

Derek narrates the episode and opens by talking about what drew him to surgery: the quiet, the shutting out of everything else in the world.

He's studying some scans when Isaac, a lab tech, come in and shows him an amazing MRI of a giant, very dangerous tumor on his spine（脊柱、背骨）. Isaac's the patient, and he talks Derek into taking on his surgery.

It's regarded as impossible but McDreamy thinks he can do it.

One by one, Cristina, Mark, Callie, Lexie, Hunt, and Arizona all come in and offer support while Derek's trying to figure out whether to take the case.

Even Bailey's blown away, calling the tumor dangerous, complicated, smart and beautiful - the reason she got into medicine. But the Chief won't go near it - it's just too dangerous, and too expensive.

After all, they might need to cut the spinal（背骨の、脊髄の） cord to get it all out.

Even after Derek tells him that the patient is an employee, the Chief says the hospital's not a charity, and they don't have the pro bono budget to cover higher surgeries for every employee.

They butt heads. In the end, Derek defies the chief and his new computer generated schedule and books Isaac for surgery. He's gone rogue（わんぱく、ごろつき）.

First, a contest among the residents will determine see who's got the skills to handle microsurgery, and Jackson Avery gets to scrub in after Cristina blows it. So does Lexie, who'll keep an eye on Derek.

Avery brags about how he never has to take breaks and that Lexie is just a bitch. So Lexie decides to wear a diaper so she can stay in surgery for longer than Jackson. Cristina finds out and is impressed.

Before he goes under, Isaac tells Derek that he needs to be inspired in this surgery - and if need be, he should cut the spinal cord. He says he's survived war and tragedy, and he can do without his legs if needed.

It doesn't go well.

Derek gets in there and finds that the tumor is much more involved than it looked on the scan. He stands there for 10 hours trying to come up with a plan to attack the thing, before the Chief comes in and boots him out.

He later explains to Isaac that it was too risky, and since he still has use of his legs he couldn't bear to cut the cord.

He'll do better tomorrow, Isaac tells him. Derek is dumbfounded（ものも言えないほどぴっくりさせる）.

Derek goes home and talks it through with Meredith and comes up with a new strategy. He's gone all zen, an knows he needs to just go in and cut.

The next day, Derek cajoles（おだてて） Richard into allowing him to the surgery, but just to cut the cord, which should only take an hour. Of course, he has absolutely no intention of doing that.

He's going all in, and will be there 26 hours if needed. Of course, that is physically demanding, and a tense, dehydrated（脱水状態になる） Derek throws up in the middle of it.

The real trick is when he's down to the last set of blood vessels that connects the tumor to the spine, and he has to pick the one to cut.

The wrong decision could kill or paralyze Isaac.

In the end, he makes the right call. Derek not only saves Isaac, but also doesn't paralyze him. When he wakes, Isaac's convinced that the surgery didn't go well, because he can move his feet.

But when he learns what really happened, it's with such relief and joy.

Just the same, Derek runs into the chief, who all of the attendings have blocked from his OR during Isaac's surgery.

We can't keep fighting, Derek tells him. Let's try to put this behind us and move on. And then the Chief fires him. Right. Derek adopts a little bit of Isaac's Zen by telling the chief to sleep on it, and they'll talk tomorrow.

He walks away. Awesome.

Season 6, Episode 8

Kids in distress（激痛、苦痛）. That's what it's all about tonight.

The first child was a preemie（早産児、未熟児） baby, born to Laura, a mother suffering from major head trauma after a car accident. After sustaining injuries and only 30 weeks pregnant, the baby doesn't have much hope for survival.

Alex is despondent（落胆した、気落ちした） after being served with an enormous medical bill for his MIA wife, who still isn't coming in for her IL-2 treatments.

He's resigned to the fact that the baby is going to die, but not so resigned that he doesn't make sure she gets held before she dies.

"You're not alone," he whispers to the baby.

When the baby's condition suddenly improves, Bailey says that skin-to-skin contact could save her, and demands Alex remove his shirt.

When the baby makes it against all odds, Bailey muses that Karev would be good in pediatrics（小児科医）. Much like Addison thought years ago!

The second patient is a 15-year-old girl who fell off her roof while eating mushrooms in the middle of the night and believing she could fly.

When her parents start to get outraged, she reminds them that she gets straight As, is on the honor roll, runs student council and the school paper, and tutors kids with reading problems.

Her attitude inspires Christina, Callie and Owen to reminisce（楽しく思い出す、思い出を語る） about their own childhoods while do perform surgery. Jackson starts to chime in, but they don't care.

Of course, something goes wrong during the surgery. Perhaps inspired by Derek's rogue（わんぱく、ごろつき） turn last week, Cristina steps in to do an invasive cardio（心臓） procedure herself, with Owen and Callie shouting their objections.

After all, she's unqualified. Jackson is the only one who backs her up. Owen tears her a new one.

Jackson, however, thought Christina's intrepidity（恐れを知らぬ、大胆不敵） was hot - similar to the way Burke used to. Jackson drunkenly kisses her later, but she pushes him back.

Now for the big story. "Dr." Wallace Anderson, a child suffering from short gut syndrome, often joins Arizona on rounds to work on his math and science skills after seven months in the hospital.

Early in the episode, Arizona promised Wallace that they'd celebrate their shared birthday together.

Wallace's mom and dad ask for a meeting with the Chief and Arizona, presenting the hospital with a generous $25 million donation.

They want some of that to researching their son's condition. But it's too late, as Arizona doesn't think that Wallace will survive another surgery, and if he does, surgery will only buy him two painful months.

Pressured by the Chief, and the weight of all that research money, Arizona reluctantly agrees to do the surgery. Wallace is a smart kid, though.

He's been in the hospital a long time; he knows there's only two ways out of there, and he doesn't see a light at the end of his tunnel.

His first surgery goes alright, but later, complications arise and he dies while Arizona tries to save him. Afterward, Arizona is curt（そっけない、ぶっきらぼうな） and clearly furious with the obvious dollar signs in the Chief's eyes.

Arizona has always had trouble standing up to authority. No tears tonight, until she gets home to the ill-timed surprise birthday party Callie threw for her.

Luckily, Arizona's words got through to the Chief and he invited her back into the room to speak to the Andersons, despite Jennings' protests.

Parents want to know that the doctors care. They want human compassion（思いやり、同情）. And with Arizona they will get it. With that $25 million, there's little doubt she can really make magic come true.

Season 6, Episode 5

Tonight's Grey's Anatomy is all about invasion, the influx（流れ込み、殺到） from Mercy West, and the new docs are definitely not out to take prisoners.

The merger gets off to a rocky start when cocky（生意気な、高飛車な） young Reed (Nora Zehetner) refuses to take her stuff out of George's old locker, almost causing a throwdown between her and Izzie.

Due to the sheer volume of cases in the hospital, the Seattle Grace and Mercy West doctors are paired up and assigned "zones" - an idea from one of the newbies - to handle the mob（大群、集団） scene.

In said zones, one of our favorites frequently feuds （不和、確執） with an invader.

The cases are almost secondary this week, used as props to showcase how the new Mercy West gang are one-upping the Seattle Grace crew at every opportunity.

Lexie and Mercy West's April (Sarah Drew) work together on the case of a burglar injured during the act, leaving him with a broken back.

When Lexie is one-upped by the conniving（見てみぬふりをする、大目に見る） April on the suggested course of treatment, her patient helps her out by stealing April's notebook.

In this notebook, Lexie discovers not case notes but self-pep talk notes April uses to bolster（支える、元気付ける） her flagging（疲れきった、沈滞気味の） self esteem.

Lexie cruelly uses the knowledge to tear April down, but immediately feels bad about her actions. She ends up apologizing to April, even if she admits she still dislikes her. But she went over the line and she knows it.

Cristina and newcomer Jackson are working together to save a man stabbed by his friend for having sex with the friend's 19-year-old daughter.

Although Cristina technically saves the patient's life by fixing the stab wound, Jackson gets the credit for doing some heroic tackling when the patient is threatened again by his hammer-wielding friend.

Cristina ends up in a crying fit in Meredith's hospital room (Mer is exempt from the drama, probably to her benefit) over the downward spiral of her career.

She felt alive when she was working with Burke and holding hearts in her hands every day. Now she feels none of that, she just feels lost.

Alex and Mercy West partner Reed spend the hour fighting over a man with both an adrenal （腎臓の近くにある、腎臓が作り出した） mass and carotid(頚動脈) stenosis（狭窄(きょうさく)症.）.

Alex and Reed are extremely antagonistic（対立する、敵対する） from the start, going so far as to argue about care in front of the patient and his daughter (Kathleen Wilhoite).

In turn, the daughter rightfully yells at them and snaps them out of it... for about 30 seconds until they start up again.

Izzie and Mercy West's Charles (Robert Baker) get paired up on Sarah, a young woman in desperate need of a kidney transplant and down to her last access point for dialysis（腎臓透析）.

They seem to be getting along swimmingly until Izzie overhears him bragging to his Mercy West friends about her being his "surgical bitch."

In the midst of their troubles, Izzie almost kills patient Sarah by ordering a bad procedure and causing her to code.

Bailey manages to save the patient, but because of her troubles she will lose her chance at the transplant kidney she's been waiting years for.

Bailey is not done fighting for her, though - she brings her to L.A. and Private Practice later in the hour! Woo hoo!

But back to Seattle Grace. Chief has to get down the the business of firing people, and HR insists he use a specific speech because the last person he fired (the pregnant intern) is suing for wrongful termination.

Who's getting the ax? Izzie. She can't believe she was allowed to come back after the LVAD wire incident, but Richard says this is a different era.

She takes it extremely hard, to the point where she skips town and leaves Alex via a note taped to his locker.

Alex cries to Meredith and Cristina that she's left him. No other explanation offered or needed.

Meanwhile, one of the few doctors with job security (after last week's promotion to attending) has her own drama to deal with.

Callie's dad shows up wondering why they don't talk anymore. Turns out he's only there to "pray away the gay" from Callie, complete with his priest in tow for support.

Callie is disgusted（むかついた、胸が悪くなった）, but Arizona urges her to cut him some slack since her news was so shocking. They sit to talk, but her father tries to use God to show Callie why her lifestyle is wrong.

Fortunately, Arizona talks to Callie's father and makes him see that Callie is still the same person, the person he raised. This makes him see the light, and he makes amends with Callie in the end.
