Without her husband by her side, Bailey refuses to have the baby. George works with Addison to convince Bailey to have the baby, and he finally gets through to her. Richard isn't doing so well, though, with the stress, and he suffers an anxiety attack that lures Adele to the hospital.
Dr. Bailey is in labor, and is still refusing to give birth. George helps her out by giving her a little motivation, and ultimately holding her while she delivers the baby. Izzie and Alex have sex again. Chief Webber is under a lot of stress from everything that's been going on, and it is believed that he had a heart attack. However, it proves to be just an anxiety attack. Bailey's husband survives, after going into cardiac arrest. Meredith removes her hand from the explosive in the patient and a member of the bomb squad removes the explosive. However the bomb explodes, killing Dylan. Meredith is knocked unconscious by the explosion. There is a revival of the "shower scene" from the first part, but with a more serious tone: the fully clothed Izzie and Cristina wash blood off of a stunned Meredith as George looks on. The man who had the explosive embedded in his body also survived. At the end of the episode, Preston and Derek become friends, overcoming their initial rivalry in the series beginning, and call each other by their first names. Cristina says "I love you too" to a sleeping Preston. Derek comes visiting Meredith and says "You almost died today," and Meredith tells him that she can't remember their last kiss. Derek tells her she "smelled like some kind of flower," which Meredith says was lavender, and then he leaves.
The episode's title refers to "It's the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)" by R.E.M..
