Bailey, after trying to discuss the Chief's outburst with him only to be ignored, goes for the jugular and calls in reinforcements-Adel. She calls Bailey and the Chief into a conference room. She yells at the Chief for acting like a child to Bailey all day and demands he apologize to her. He apologizes to a very smug Bailey. Adel, all magnificent in her bright pink top, leaves only to wipe Bailey's smirk off her face. She reminds Bailey that calling a man's wife to come in and lay down the law isn't exactly mature either. I think we need more Adel on this show.
Always the suck-up, Lexie finds Izzie to thank her for the Patient X experience. She appreciated being able to treat a patient from beginning to end. Izzie, the former suck up and with a softness for her own kind, asks Little Grey how she would tell Patient X. I don't know if she is teaching at this point, or actually looking for comfort. Lexie is at a loss though. What do you say to someone who has a 5% chance to live? Izzie tells Lexie that a choice has to be made, you either fight your ass off or you run from it.
On the other side of the emotional spectrum, the Major and Arizona congratulate Karev on an amazing job that day. They tell him that he is the future of that hospital. And in complete irony, the future of that hospital runs to share this news with Izzie...who's future with that hospital is becoming progressively shorter. He is so excited and wants Izzie to drop the Patient X intern crap and be the great Doctor he knows she is. He wants them to be the future bad asses of the hospital together.
The Chief calls Bailey out on tattling on him to Adel. And Bailey calls the Chief out on treating her like crap every time she does something he doesn't agree with, or sees as soft. Like having a baby, or going into peeds. She thinks that he only gets mad because deep down he fears that he has gone soft and that's why the whole hospital is going to shit. He agrees but they both agree that under no circumstances does that warrant telling on you to your spouse.
Yang finds the Major putting together his schedule for the next day. She interrupts him to assign herself to his cases. He begins to protest but she again tells him that its going to take a lot more than a couple bad dreams, ex-fiancees and fully clothed showers to scare her away. He assures her that there is still more. She comforts him by stroking his head, as she knows the crazy has just begun.

You're like my very own Irish setter

I don't understand the Chief's looking at pediatric SURGERY as being a "soft" choice. It's still all the same surgeries, just on smaller people. And it often hurts more if they die. It just seems like a bad attempt to make the Chief seem like a jerk.
And I'm still not buying Torres as a lesbian. Yang I could believe....but not Callie, especially after the scenes with Sloane.

Not to be a brat, TWSS, but you left out the part where Yang & Izzie are in the Tornado Room and supposedly Izzie tells Yang she's Patient X.
I wish I had that vent in my house - it just looks fun!
Great recap!

Fabulous recap, TWSS!
I am really starting to appreciate and love Yang. She is fierce.
I don't why Derek just suddenly realized that he loses more patients than he saves. That is always true of neurosurgeons. They are more than aware of this when they decide to specialize in the field.
I guess he just thought that his godlike skills would make him different. He sure has been an asshole this season. First he is obnoxious and condescending to Meredith (who I don't even like) and now he's a whiny baby.

Great recap TWSS! I sort of stopped watching the show after Iz started having fantastic phantasmal sex.
Poor Izzie! If I were her, I'd head over to House's hospital, STAT, and have him take a gander. Over there, they are less concerned with breaking penises during illict sex in the breakroom, and more concerned with solving whatever trauma the Victim Of The Week has.
Sure, they will misdiagnose you at least five times, but in the end, House will wake up from his Vicodin stupor and discover it wasn't melanoma spread to every conceivable part of the body, merely the Mystery Meat that you ate in the hospital cafeteria that Wednesday a few weeks back when you forgot to brown bag it because you were too busy trying to decide whether to sleep with your dead boyfriend or live boyfriend. The MM took root in your stomach lining. Easily removed, bada bing, bada bang, all healed. :)
P.S.: Seriously, hospital food sucks. I swear it is made to make you worse so you spend another couple hundred on having them bring you Tums (with one Tums equaling about $75 a pop).
