On the Canadian television channel CTV, on September 22, 2006, instead of showing the recap episode "Complications of the Heart", "I Am A Tree" (episode 302) was mistakenly aired at 8PM right before "Time Has Come Today" (episode 301), leaving many viewers confused to the plot line as the error in episodes was not readily apparent to channel operators and viewers. (edit) Music Featured In This Episode:
"Lullaby" by The Dixie Chicks
"Take Me Anywhere" by Tegan & Sara
"Quicksand" by Sleeping At Last
"Nothing Brings Me Down" by Emiliana Torrini
"Gone Daddy Done" by Gnarls Barkley
"Under The Milky Way" by Grant Lee Philips
"All I Need" by Mat Kearney (edit)

Addison: If that baby isn't treated, he's going to die. Now, I can do vaginal exams on each of the girls.
Karen's Mom: My daughter is 14 years old! She's not sexually active, and I won't have you violating her body!
Lisa's Dad: You won't have it because you know it's your kid! Tell you what. You have my consent. Do whatever it takes to prove that my Lisa is innocent.
Karen's Mom: You are a sick bastard. Do you know that?
Addison: A child's life is in jeopardy here! Now, it's not your consent that I need. (looks at the girls)
Sara: We didn't do anything wrong.
Lisa: Yeah, just because we were in there doesn't mean it's our baby.
Shannon: Do we look like the kind of girls who get pregnant and throw their kids in the trash? (edit) Addison: (bringing Shannon and Sara over to see the baby) There he is. That's your son. I want you both to look at him, because it's not true that you did nothing wrong. You both are wrong. You're wrong for covering this up, you're wrong for lying about it, and you're wrong for letting this little baby--this sweet, innocent, beautiful little boy--suffer like this. He's dying, and it's your fault. It's both of your faults, and the thing is, the truth will come out. In time, it will come out. It always does. It just......it just does. And when it does, this baby will be dead.
Sara: (long pause) Shannon......
Shannon: (near tears) Don't tell my mom, okay?
Addison: (heaves a sigh of relief, gives Shannon a hug) Thank you. Thank you for telling the truth. (edit) Shannon's Mom: Well, it's obvious, then. The baby can't possibly be Shannon's. Look at her! Nobody can stay a size two and be pregnant. Trust me, I've tried it.
Sara's Mom: What are you saying?
Shannon's Mom: Just that Sara is a little pudgy.
Sara's Mom: At least she's not sleeping around!
Addison: Girls, I am a little short on time here--
Shannon's Mom: Shannon didn't even think about boys until she started hanging out with Sara.
Sara's Mom: You've got some nerve!
Addison: Do I need to remind you two who the teenagers are here?
Sara's Mom: She started it!
Addison: Enough! (edit) Addison: (operating on a baby boy) Poor little guy. As soon as he's better, he's getting turned over to a mother who's going to juvie and grandparents who are so clueless, they didn't even realize their own kid was pregnant. Imagine the kind of life he's going to have.
Alex: You can get over a bad childhood. I mean, you can have the worst crap in the world happen to you. You can get over it. All you gotta do is survive. (edit) Derek: How's Izzie?
George: As well as could be expected.
Derek: It never gets easier you know? Losing a patient. It’s a little less ... shocking I guess but it never gets any easier.
George (pauses): Izzie was in love with him. Denny wasn’t just a patient. They were in love. (edit)
