[edit] Episode recap

George begins to overstay his welcome at Burke's apartment; Meredith learns a secret about her father; Bailey worries her colleagues will not treat her the same now that she's a mother; and Alex gets a lesson in bedside manners. George finds Callie living in the hospital and begins a relationship with her.

Meredith takes up knitting -- and a vow of celibacy. Cristina competes with the Chief during classroom exercises. Burke tries to teach Alex a lesson about bedside manner, but it's a lesson that falls on deaf ears. Izzie knits, too, makes a sweater for Denny, and when she's not knitting, she's trying to get George to move back into the house and at the same time find out from Callie what her secret is (she seems to be hiding something, according to Izzie). George carries around the burden of discovering that Meredith's sister -- a sister she never knew she had -- is a patient of Addison's. And Bailey becomes Derek's intern for the day -- so she can get more OR time. Meredith meets Doc's vet, and takes a shine to him.
