[edit] Episode recap

Havoc strikes Seattle Grace when Meredith's mother, Dr. Ellis Grey, is brought to the hospital for having possible diverticulitis. No one at Seattle Grace knew of Dr. Grey's Alzheimer's disease, but after her visit, everyone now knows. George is assigned to her case but cannot help her much because she thinks that he is her ex-husband, Thatcher. There is a possibility that Dr. Grey actually has liver cancer, but that comes up negative. At the same time, Alex is dealing with a patient who has an extreme blushing problem and wants to have surgery to have that fixed. However, there is a chance that many other after effects will occur. Fortunately, none of them do.

While Cristina is in the operating room with Preston, she collapses on the floor. Miranda and Izzie rush her into another operating room, where Addison, who is still at Seattle Grace, performs surgery on her. Cristina has problems with her pregnancy and she will have to lose her baby. It is obvious Preston still has feelings for Cristina, because he is highly concerned for her. He also finds out about the baby by looking on the "Upcoming Surgeries" board and sees Cristina's information.

At the end of the shift, Meredith cracks under all that has gone on during that day and eventually tells Derek that she misses him and it is hurting her. She delivers this news to him only after he and Addison seem to be getting along much better than they had been before.

Alex and Izzie's relationship goes to bigger heights as she defends him in front of the others. She claims that "he is really sweet once you get to know him."
