Derek Shepard, Mark Sloan and Richard Webber are standing on Derek's property enjoying the morning view. Mark says, "I tried to change, I tried to turn over a new leaf, but the leaf isn't turning." Chief tells him, "You weren't ready to change and thats okay, Adele wanted me to change, she wanted me to retire, well I'm still the Chief and this weekend, I'm moving back home." (But does Adele know that?) Derek doesn't want to get involved but announces that he is going to sell the property.

Meanwhile Miranda Bailey is trying to see something, she's trying to see "the bigger picture" and doesn't have time for questions this morning.

Before the day can start for the girls, Meredith is trying to give Cristina Yang something to look forward to in the day. "Do you want to dance it out?" "No" "Do you want to drink tequila?" "No" "Do you want to call me names and mock me endlessly?" She considers it, then "No" "Do you want the sparkle pager?" "Now that's not funny," Cristina says. Meredith tells her, "Do you know how I know its the right thing to do to give you the sparkle pager? Because you're so sad you're not even asking me for it. Shiny, shiny pager with lots of shiny, shiny surgeries," and she hands it over to her. "If I were the kind of person who kissed people," Cristina tells her, "I would kiss you."

Callie Torres and Mark Sloan, on the other hand, are pretty hot and heavy in the on-call room. He's telling her dirty things about Erica Hahn and fantasizing with her when her pager starts to go off. They have to finish quick and get to a trauma coming in. When they show up, Erica Hahn asks, "What's wrong with you?" She assures it's nothing, but Mark chimes in, "You look all hot and bothered." Callie attempts to say that it's just the trauma and is quite flustered. "You actin weird!" Bailey tells her. The trauma arrives and the four of them are looking at a young man who is trapped in a huge slab of cement. No one knows where to begin. It turns out that the four teenagers who came in with him had dared him to lay in the cement. They think the whole thing is so funny and say that he's not even really their friend. Richard Webber comes on the scene to find nothing being done for the young man while the four doctors and Cristina Yang (thanks to the sparkle pager) are arguing over where to begin with the patient. Chief cracks his whip and tells them to get it together and that they'll have to all work as a team. They're fighting the clock on this one and only have 4-6 hours to get this young man out of that cement and in recovery. They all begin working. The young man in the cement is 19 years old and is really upset and frightened. He is so upset at himself, too. He says, "I'm like Han Solo, I can't believe I did this for a girl." Everyone looks at him a little weird, and he has to explain that Han Solo got frozen in carbonite for a girl. Callie just hopes it's not the girl from the waiting room who totally denounced his friendship, but of course it is that girl that he's in love with. With all the doctors over one body, Callie and Torres reach past each other. Mark Sloan eagerly says, "I've always enjoyed a game of Twister."

A little later, the doctors are still working hard to get him stable and out of the cement. The young man starts getting really upset and thinking really badly about himself. Dr. Bailey consoles him telling him that this is "just a piece" of him and even though it's a bad piece, it doesn't define him as a whole. Suddenly she starts spewing out all of these facts about Han Solo and all his accomplishments from Star Wars before reminding him that being frozen in carbonite was only a piece of what he did. The other doctors go silent in shock to which Bailey says, "What? So I like science fiction, somebody got a problem with that?" At least the patient smiles nervously and feels a little better. They leave to take a small break and while they're watching the men work on getting him out of the cement, Bailey is again looking at the "bigger picture." "We're forgetting something. . ." and she starts going over the check list out loud of all that they should be doing. The others are thinking, but feel okay. Suddenly she drops her cup realizing they've been pumping fluid into this boy, but haven't let him release his bladder and if they don't it will explode.

Meanwhile this girl he's in love with waits in the lobby with the guys who don't care what happens to him and he explains to them how much he loves her and almost kissed her once. Not once do they check on him and Callie goes to talk with the girl in private. She realizes that the girl actually does care for him, but is trying to save face. Callie asks her to come hold his hand during this process, but the girl looks away. "Screw what they think. . . this matters. . . they don't," Callie tells her. "I can't help him," the girl replies. Callie gives her a look and says, "You're gonna hate yourself for this, later, you're gonna hate yourself for this and you'll be right."

During their next break, Sloan corners Callie and tells her how wrong it is that she's been thinking about sex the whole time she's been in the O.R. She blames it on him ". . .this entire time I've been turned on because of you and your dirty talk." "It isn't my dirty talk," he tells her, "It's what I've been dirty talking about. . . You and Erica!" Again she denies it, but he says, "Callie, it's okay. I wish I was all someone thought about," and he leaves her to her thoughts.

Back in the O.R. the patient has a problem with his heart and Cristina, Bailey and chief are the only ones there. They aski if they should page Erica Hahn, but Cristina tells the Chief that she can do it - she's done it before with Burke. He backs her, "Yang, I'm right here if you need me." Halfway through Hahn comes in, frustrated they didn't get her and starts telling them all the things Cristina's doing wrong. Chief defends her saying, "If you haven't noticed, she's somewhat of a savant." Again Hahn questions her processes and tries to butt in, but Cristina tells her, "Shut up and let me work." Again chief defends her firmly, "Let her work Dr. Hahn." Everything goes fine and Yang did it on her own. Richard Webber confronts Hahn at the nurses station, "Yang flew solo, you should be so proud because that means you are doing your job - teaching her how to save a life. Residents are like puppies - eager and enthusiastic and you need to learn how to teach without crushing their spirit. Now you want to work here with my residents then you need to be better. You need to be a better teacher." Hahn isn't happy to hear that and leaves, but not before Cristina (who's been sitting there the whole time) gets a dirty look from her. Chief turns to Cristina to say, "don't make me regret backing you up." "No sir, absolutely not, sir!"

After all he's been through, the young man in the cement pulls through and the girl he loves is still there waiting the next morning. She agrees to see him. Dr. Miranda Bailey reminds the patient how she told him to look at the "bigger picture" and she steps aside to reveal his love coming to see him. She goes up to him and brushes his hair from his face then kisses him. Callie looks on and says, "He's been waiting his whole life for that, hasn't he?" "Yes he has," says Dr. Bailey.

Back in the break room, Cristina sits on the couch, while Lexie Grey comes running in for her page. Cristina instructs her to go get the banana out of the cubby for her. An obedient Lexie gets and and hesitantly asks if Cristina would like her to peel it for her. Instead, Cristina is going to teach her the whipstitch and hands her over a needle. She still doesn't let her talk or get close to her, but at least she's teaching and giving constructive criticism instead of just criticism.

Chief Webber runs into Meredith as he leaves Derek's property to go home to his wife finally. He tells Meredith, "I'm not a bad man. I know I'm the villain in your story, but I'm not a bad man." In contrast he shows up on Adele's porch and tells her, "I'm a good man. I'm a good man at the hospital, I'm a good man for everybody but you and I know that, but I'm telling you that I am your husband and I want to come home to my wife." Adele tells him, "It's about time."

Miranda Bailey is packing up for the day, too. She's got Tuck in arm, she's leaving on time and she's headed back to 'daddy.'

Callie Torres leaves with Mark Sloan asking if they should finish what they started yesterday. He says, "Or you can finish what you started." They see Eric fumbling for her keys in her purse, "I'm growing," he tells her. Callie walks towards her and asks if they can go out for a drink. Erica is too frustrated about Yang and her keys to process what she's saying. "Erica!" Callie gets her attention, "I'm saying something. I just wanted to say, just wanted to say. . ." and she leans in and kisses her. Mark, who is looking on, sees the two and heads home.

until next season. . .
