Post-god-knows-what-kind-of-coital-perversion, Meredith goes to the nursing home to visit her mother, who still harbors delusions that she's working in the O.R. and "too busy to eat." Well, at least now we know where Meredith gets her 'rexia. Dr. Webber arrives, interrupting this moving reverie with a present for Ellis; she immediately lights up and runs over to the chief for some heavy petting she won't remember ten minutes later. Meredith wisely decides this is a good time to leave.

"Frankly, in five minutes I won't remember shit, so say whatever the hell you want"

So our girl goes to the hospital, where she declares that "dark and twisty" Meredith is gone forever to make way for bright and shiny Meredith. The other interns are mortified about this, so they quickly rain on the parade by informing her that George's dad has been admitted to the hospital. Apparently he fell and broke his collarbone but also has oddly severe abdominal pain. And lupus. And goiter. Oh, and a second uterus. Bailey interrupts this by grabbing Mr. O'Malley's chart from George and declaring that doctors aren't allowed to treat their own family members. She then instructs Izzie to shadow Alex for the day.

Dr. Montgomery, meanwhile, is baffled by Shepherd's sudden, near-constant smiling. Shepherd claims it's merely general happiness, but clearly it's residual glee from Meredith goosing him with one of those TJ Maxx candles. Shepherd notes that Addison's still wearing her wedding ring; she says it's stuck, so he suggests soap. Actually, I'd recommend olive oil mixed with just a soupçon of WD-40—it got me out of more than a few jams back in altar boy school. Schwing!

Callie, meanwhile, is bonding with all of George's low-rent gringo brothers, who have come to visit their dad in the hospital. George notes this with horror, which is worsened when his brothers make their standard demeaning allegations that George isn't a "real" doctor.

"See, I can look girly and demure! I CAN, BITCHES!!!"

Alex and Izzie report to Sloan, who demeans Izzie as just a "hot blonde" and then gives the interns slips for two weeks' worth of his dry cleaning to pick up. Oh, and a sandwich request. What an asshole.

Unburdened with menial tasks, George asks to help with his dad's endoscopy; Bailey refuses but invites him to pick another intern in his place. Not long after, George, observing Burke and Cristina in the O.R., notices that Burke is letting Cristina do basically the entire—very complicated—surgery herself. He realizes that something is up.

An ambulance arrives carrying a small child and a hysterical woman who inadvertently backed over the child with her SUV. Whoops! Even worse, turns out that 1) the woman is merely the nanny, not the mother, and 2) the real mother is a frigid, waspy bitch who's ready to have the nanny de-ovaried. The father then shows up and makes things even more annoying, condemning his wife as irresponsible. There's so much blame being evaded that for a second I think we're in the Bush White House! ANYWAY, as Shepherd takes the child for an exam, the mother blows up and screams for the nanny to leave.
