Episode Summary
The holiday season has started, but not everyone is in a festive mood. Burke and Cristina struggle with young patient Justin, who fiercely opposes a life-saving heart transplant, and his overbearing mother. Meredith, George, and Cristina try to support Izzie after her breakup with Alex, but she is furious when she finds them helping Alex study for an important exam. George has a female patient with a bleeding ulcer, but it's the outlandish behavior of her family members that tests his strength the most. Lastly, Derek treats a young father facing brain surgery after falling from a ladder, and Derek's negative attitude about the holidays in general might be having an indirect impact on his patient.moreless

Quotes
ADD QUOTES- Cristina (about Justin): Okay, we need to get him back on the donor's list. It's a bad heart. Burke: It's not a bad heart. Cristina: Well, can you get him back on the list? Burke: He's waited two years for this heart. He has to fight for it. He has to decide if he wants to live. Cristina (frustrated): Okay, medically speaking is there anything else we haven't done? Burke: The way you're feeling right now … is why I have to believe in something bigger than me. Because if I didn't, that powerlessness would eat me alive. Edit
- Addison: Dr. Stevens. (Izzie ignores her and continues walking, Addison calls out after her) Nice talking to you. (to Derek) Think she'll ever talk to me again? (Derek is silent, staring at the CT screen) Am I invisible? I'm feeling strangely invisible. (Derek is still silent) Also inaudible. Derek: What? Addison: Another surgery? So I guess dinner-shopping is out. Derek: Yeah, it's not gonna happen tonight. Sorry. Addison: No, you're not. I'm just trying to figure out why you're not. It's Christmas Derek. Derek: Yeah. I know. Addison: It's our season. What's going on? Are you mad? Are you depressed? What? Derek: No. Mr. Epstein here is depressed. He's bleeding from his frontal lobe. Everything's fine. We're fine Addie. You know, I'll see you at home, okay? Edit
- Meredith (while doing surgery, Bailey backs away from the table): Dr. Bailey? Bailey (raises her hand to silence Meredith): Just wouldn't want to throw up in the body cavity. Meredith: Do you need …? Bailey: I just need a minute Grey. Oh when you operate the rest of the world goes away. Hunger, thirst, pain. You don't feel it in the O.R. But it's not that way when you're sharing you're body with another person. Okay. (she walks back up to the table and starts operating again) Meredith: Are you sure you don't want me to find someone to take over for you? Bailey: What I want you to find me is a strawberry milkshake. Extra thick. Meredith: Seriously? Bailey (nods): Yeah, nausea. Comes with the hunger, Grey. Go. (Meredith runs off) Edit

Allusions
ADD ALLUSIONS- George (about Alex): Paging, Dr. Karevian. Just, it's a joke. Kevorkian, Karevian. Jack Kevorkian is a pathologist who is mostly known for his opinion supporting the patient's right to die and that doctors should assist those patients via euthanasia. He assisted in many ending life of terminal patients procedures and served time in prison for second-degree murders. George is making an allusion to Robert Martin, the patient from previous episode that was given wrong dosage of drugs by Alex. Edit
- Cristina: Fine, but when Tiny Tim goes all Norman Bates on us, I'm blaming you. This refers to two fictional characters: Tiny Tim being a character in Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" and Norman Bates being the killer in Alfred Hitchcock's movie "Psycho". Edit
- Mr. Epstein: Hanumas. Chrismukkah. We go all out. Chrismukkah is a holiday that was invented by the character Seth Cohen on "The O.C.," whose mother is Christian and whose father is Jewish. Edit
