Bailey arrives to deliver the day's assignments. She places Karev with the Major who apparently after the sleepy attack on Yang doesn't want to be around her. The Chief interrupts to ask Meredith when McD will be gracing Seattle Grace with his scruffy beat up presence. I hate when people do this. It's like, uh I don't know, I'm not his keeper, ask him! She reiterates for the third time this episode that he's fine, ensuring a complete McD mental breakdown within the next 52 minutes.

Bailey is excited to finally see the Chief because she's been trying to track him down all morning because she'd like his help on a case. The Chief snidely responds, what no peed's today? And when she says, uh no...he tells her she must be slumming and stalks off. Ah it's nice to see that professional work ethic runs strong in all levels of Seattle Grace.

We meet our first set of patients that we'll call the Shelly trio. This is a set of three siblings who come from a family with a very strong hereditary strand of gastric cancer. The threesome have a ¾ chance of having this cancer that appears suddently and spreads rapidly, ultimately killing the patient. As it has with a significant portion of their family. Based on this, the trio has decided as a team to be proactive and have Dr. Bailey take out their stomachs so to not develop the cancer.

Down in trauma, Karev and House meet their emergency patient. It is a young girl who starting seizing during a football halftime marching band performance. Based on her situation the Major is torn on to hit her with the paddles or not. Not knowing what is wrong with her, the paddles will either save her, or kill her. Fifty/Fifty. It's like casino night at Seattle Grace today. Right before the commercial break, the Major hits her the volt.

The 50/50 shot works and the girl comes too. As she begins to put together that she seized in the middle of the performance she is mortified. Really, you dressed your self in the ridunk green and yellow outfit and the seize is what you are embarrassed by? She begins to panic because the "seizure patrol" is going to kill her. The seizure patrol is two of her fellow band mates.

Situations like this crack me up. What does the casting call look for actors like this? "Looking for: Slightly overweight teenager with very light or red skin. Lisp and Acne a plus"

The nerds tell Karev that they are responsible for making sure Beth doesn't choke on her tongue after her seize. They bitterly tell Karev that she ruined everything in the middle of their performance and they are super pissed at her. If I've said it once, I've said it a million times, there is nothing worse than "The Mean Nerd." Nice nerds rock my world, but the mean ones deserve to be stuffed in lockers. The Major leaves Karev to keep an eye on Beth to make sure she doesn't crash, essentially baby sitting her. I'm guessing that somewhere as Yang prepares to cut out three stomachs, being removed from babysitting duty with the Major suddenly doesn't seem that bad.

Speaking of the stomach threesome, Yang and Grey are reviewing the possible side effects of their surgery which include glorious symptoms such as "Dumping syndrome" and anal leakage. Apparently the stomach removal pumps olestra into your stomach. Upon learning these side effects two of the threesome begin to panic. The brother argues that he's the president of his fraternity, likes to snowboard and has a girlfriend, he isn't ready to become an old man with anal leakage. He's mad because he's only doing this because the older sister is making him and he's tired of doing whatever she says. The other sister, who looks like a mix between Sadie and Megan Fox says she didn't realize the surgery was so major, and needs to think about it some.
