Episode Summary
As Cristina tries to recover, she proves to be a very difficult patient, and a visit from her mother doesn't improve her demeanor any. And Meredith's mother, Dr. Ellis Grey, has the hospital staff running in circles. Jeremiah, a cystic fibrosis patient, could benefit from Dr. Addison Shepherd's medical knowledge, but her involvement in his surgery could delay her highly anticipated departure from Seattle Grace Hospital, leaving Meredith and Derek's relationship hanging in the balance.moreless

Trivia
ADD TRIVIA-
Goof (editing continuity): When Dr. Burke is talking to Cristina about her not telling him she was pregnant, Cristina's mother walks in and shuts the door behind her. During the conversation, Dr. Burke excuses himself because Cristina and her mother are arguing and the door is wide open.
Correction: Her mother closes the bathroom door, not the door to the hallway.

Nurse Tyler: Where's your IV?
Cristina: I've taken solids. I HEP-locked it.
Nurse Tyler: On whose orders?
Cristina: Mine.
Nurse Tyler: Okay. (looking at her chart) Yang. How about this order: "Bed rest, out of bed to chair, bathroom privileges." Nothing about stealing charts at the nurses station.
Cristina: Okay, you know what, (signals to man pushing a wheelchair) Hey, hey! Give me that. (sits down in wheelchair) There, satisfied? I'm "out of bed to chair."
Nurse Tyler: I'm telling your intern on you.
Cristina: Meredith?
Nurse Tyler: Yeah.
Cristina (mockingly): Ooh, I'm so scared.
Edit -
Meredith: Cristina Yang. Post op day three from a unilateral salpingectomy.
Cristina: And ready to get back to work.
Helen: Is she?
Cristina: I'm taking solids and my pain is controlled with oral meds. I'm ready.
Helen: Didn't the nurse this morning say you had a fever?
Cristina: Mother!
Bailey: Cristina did you have a fever?
Cristina: Temp spiked to 101 last night. Big deal.
George: She worked two shifts last month with a 102 degree flu.
Cristina: Yes, exactly, George. Thank you.
Bailey: And we appreciate your dedication but you're staying in bed until it normalizes.
Helen: I keep telling her there's more to life than surgery and career.
Cristina: Mother, go upholster something.
Bailey: Look I need you to relax. Shut up and get better. You're a patient this week so you can be a doctor next week. Understand? (they all leave the room, Cristina pulls Meredith back)
Cristina: Mer. Mer. You cannot leave me alone with her. I'm flying over the cuckoo's nest. You have to save me.
Meredith: You need time to heal.
Cristina: I'm healed. (Meredith leaves the room) I'm healed! (Cristina looks over to her mother, then looks away) Oh, god.
Edit - Meredith (opening voiceover): The key to surviving a surgical internship is denial. We deny that we're tired, we deny that we're scared, we deny how badly we want to succeed. And most importantly, we deny that we're in denial. We only see what we want to see and believe what we want to believe, and it works. We lie to ourselves so much that after a while the lies start to seem like the truth. We deny so much that we can't recognize the truth right in front of our faces. Edit
