What a fitting title. The 4 crash survivors (Derek, Meredith, Christina and Arizona) win the legal case and they're expected to receive 15 million $ each. To the contrary they were not all that happy and shiny about that. The only one smiling and looking forward to celebrating was poor Callie. She throws a survivors' dinner at the fancy restaurant and gets really emotional about Lexie and Mark and how glad she would've been if they could be there celebrating with them tonight. Our docs get druk as hell and Derek tries to make amends with Owen on the phone. Christina then takes it and tells him that she has no idea what they are - they're sleeping together, yes, but I wouldn't call that a relationship. I'm sure that's the least of Owen Hunt's problems right now as the judge had pinned the legal responsibility on the Seattle Grace Mercy West Hospital instead of the airline company. Chief of board (guest star Roma Maffia) informs Hunt that the hospital does not have such resources and if they pay them 45 million $ they will naturally have to close it's doors. Yes, the hospital will go bankrupt.

Otherwise there wasn't much going on this week. Yeah, some regular patient stuff. Mourning Webber had some nice moments with Meredith and Jackson's mother. Bailey's speech about her honeymoon was freakin' hilarious but it was a pretty regular episode. And you know what? I was perfectly fine with it. Not every week gets to be special just like not every day in our hectic lives can be the best one. [8.0/10]moreless

- Meredith: (closing voiceover) They say ignorance is bliss. Because once you know about the tumor or the prognosis, you can't go back. Will you be strong or will you fall apart? It's hard to predict. So don't worry about it. Enjoy the time you have before the news comes. Yep. Ignorance is bliss.

- Cristina: You need to forgive Owen.
  Derek: For what?
  Cristina: You're holding a grudge.
  Derek: You make it sound like he stole my lunch from the refrigerator.
  Cristina: Derek, we won. We get to move on. And we have to let Owen do the same.
  Derek: He put us on that plane.
  Cristina: You know what? You were chief once. You make a bunch of decisions based on what you know at the time. Forgive him.
  Derek: It's not that easy.
  Cristina: I know. Forgive him anyway.
  EDIT SHARE
- Cristina: Yeah, you know, that really is a problem, people claiming not to be pregnant when they really are.
  Derek: You know?
  Cristina: Of course I know. Her boobs got huge about two weeks ago, and she's eating everything in sight.
  Derek: But she didn't tell you?
  Cristina: No, but... she knows I know.
  Derek: So you know she knows that you know?
  Cristina: Mm-hmm. She'll tell me when she's ready to be happy about it. Congratulations.

  Meredith: We could buy another house.
  Derek: We could buy five houses.
  Cristina: We could buy five houses with yards as big as football fields.
  Meredith: We could buy the team to play on the football field.
  Cristina: Who would play against them?
  Derek: Well, we'd buy another team.
  Meredith: I just wanted a house.
  Cristina: Mo' money, mo' problems.
  Alex: I should've been on that damn plane.
  EDIT SHARE
- Cristina: Are you still pining over Jackson?
  April: No. God. No. Why? Is he seeing someone?
  Cristina: April, April... Jackson is like a cookie. People want to lose weight, they don't eat the cookie. But then they get so hung up on not having the cookie that their whole life is about the cookie.
  April: My whole life is not about the cookie.
  EDIT SHARE
- Meredith: (opening voiceover) The big day is here, the day you're gonna hear the news, the test result. Is the biopsy malignant or benign? Am I gonna live or die? You just want to know. Even if the news is scary. Because then you can move on, whatever that means.
