9.5 Superb
In this episode of Greys Anatomy the following happens. During surgery Rose "accidently" hands Derek a scalpel the wrong way which leads to him, cutting his hand. Meredith fixes his hand for him. Meredith tells Derek that she is unsure if they should move in together. Derek simply asks her if she wants to get married. Alas this is another cruel joke. The chief has a go at Meredith, after a patient dies. Luckily Derek steps in. Rose switches to Peds, so she won't have to see Derek any more. Christina has the icicle removed and she's fine. The Chief offers Officer Hunt (Army man) a job, but he turns it down as he is soon going back on tour. At the end of the scene we see him and Christina kissing. At the end of the episode Izzie seeing Alex kissing a girl in his bedroom. She then remembers her and Denny and we see him meeting her at the lift and they walk off together. She then sees Alex closing the door and walks away. We see Meredith and Derek in the trailer and them both packing up Derek's things. At the very end of the episode the Chief gives a speech to everyone on the surgical team. He them all that they have all failed and that they will now all have to practice general surgery and not just one type.

- Meredith (closing voiceover): Once upon a time, happily ever after. The stories we tell are the stuff of dreams. Fairytales don't come true. Reality is much stormier, much murkier, much scarier. Reality. It's so much more interesting than living happily ever after. [edit]
- Richard (to the staff): We used to be the best surgical program in the west, an upstart program that no one ever heard of, blew everyone out of the water. Then overnight, we got old, entrenched and sloppy just like everyone else. We've been resting on our laurels. You have all been failing; failing to take initiative, failing to ask the tough questions, failing to practice your skills, failing to give opportunity to practice skills. And I let it happen, so you have not failed, we have failed. Well, it stops and it stops now. People sliding over general surgery as though they will never see anything but a heart or a brain through the course of their careers, as though blood from the heart doesn't make its way through the whole body, or that nerves don't travel past the brain stem. It's shoddy teaching and it makes for shoddy surgeons. We failed, you get it? We all have, and it stops now. The surgical training protocol is officially changing, people. The bar has been raised. Consider yourself on notice. [edit]

Meredith: You said that Derek and I would never make it.
Cristina: And then I was karmically impaled for saying it.
Meredith: But you're right. I mean. people don't have happily ever afters. People barely have ever afters... So why would Derek and I be any different?
Cristina: Mer, why do you care what I think?
Meredith: Because you're my person. And if I'm gonna do this with him, be a whole and healthy and be a warm gooey person who lives with a boy. I need you. I need you on board. I need you to cheer me on. Because you're the only one who knows me... darkly. Really knows me. I need you to pretend that I can do this, even if you don't believe. Because if you abandon me now, I'll never make it. I'll never get my happy ending and that's just...
Cristina: Life.
Meredith: I'm saying please here.
Cristina: I think that you and Derek will make. You'll make it work.
Meredith: Are you just telling me what I wanna hear?
Cristina: I am your person. I'm on your side. [edit]
