Cristina Yang arrives at the hospital late in the pouring rain.  Dr.Hunt is outside waiting for his trauma and asks, “Are you here for me?”  Cristina asks, “What?”  He quickly fumbles back, “I mean my trauma.”   She tells him she’s there for a possible “appy” (appendectomy).  She begins to walk inside, but he stops her, then has absolutely nothing to say.  After a long pause, she asks, “Did you have something to say to me?”  He still is unsure of  what to say then says, “How’d you beat the ambulance?” chuckling slightly.  “I live across the street.” she points as she walks away.

Callie Torres and Mark Sloan are prepping to got into a surgery.  They are discussing how the man was sleep-walking and walked through a plate-glass window.  Imagining how he would feel waking up to that Callie says, “Sounds like my life – married, betrayed, gay, abandoned, and then I woke up and have no idea how I got here.  I just figure this is the bottom.  There’s no way it can get any worse.  It’s all up from here.”  They come into the room where Hunt and Shepard are assessing the man.  Suddenly, he wakes up, combative and disoriented to his surroundings.  They struggle to calm him down, his young daughter is in the room, and in the struggle, the patient punches Callie in the nose, knocking her to the floor, bleeding.

As Sloan starts to help Callie out with her nose she says, “I can’t believe this is happening.”  He jokes that “it wasn’t a good nose anyways,” a little plastic surgeon humor, but she’s not laughing.  He assures her it will be fine in a couple of weeks, you’ll never know it even happened. She’s still not happy and complains when he numbs it, “Well maybe if I was having a better year, it would feel a little pinch, but it hurts, Mark.  It hurts a lot.”  He decides to use more than a just a local anesthetic so she can wake up feeling better.  “At least I’ll still have you, right?  You’ll still be my friend, still have sex with me anytime I want?”   “Anytime,” he says, “Once your face heals.”  “I hate you,” she says.  “You love me,” he says.

Back in with the patient, the doctors are trying to get a history of his sleepwalking.  He explains that after his wife died, he had a problem, so he went to a clinic and got some medication.  They said it was stress related and raising  a fifteen-year-old alone, he gets stressed still at times.  The daughter sits and hears it all.  He thinks he must have forgotten to take his pills and apologizes to his daughter as this must have been scary for her. 

Mark goes in to look the patient’s stitches and finds the daughter there alone while he gets some tests done.   The daughter asks him about Callie and apologizes.  He finds that strange because it’s not her fault.  She explains how sometimes she’s able to talk her dad back to sleep.  Mark starts to wonder how often this happens with her dad sleep-walking.  The daughter assures that it doesn’t happen very often.  He asks her when was the last time she slept.  She blows him off saying that she’s not tired.  He tells her she should get some rest.

Owen, Derek and Mark go in to see the patient and tell him that they think he may have a type of epilepsy that is causing the night walking.  The patient starts to resist saying he just needs to take his medication.  Mark turns to the daughter for her to tell him how often this happens.  Full of tears she tells him it’s her fault.  It happens every night and she usually can talk him back to sleep, but she must have fallen asleep this time.  She apologizes.  She thinks it’s her fault for causing so much stress to him.  She says that he takes such good care of him during the day, she thought it was the least she could do to take care of him at night.  Mark Sloan crouches down to her and explains softly that  the night terrors are caused by  the epilepsy and not the stress.  She finally sees that it may not be her fault.  The patient agrees to the procedure.

The surgery goes well and Derek wonders how he couldn’t have know that he was up every night. George questions why it’s his fault.  If his daughter had talked to him, he would’ve known.  She should have told him (but we know he’s really talking about Lexie not coming to him.)  “If you really love someone you would tell him.”   Hunt interjects, “Maybe she tried.  Maybe words failed her.  Sometimes words fail.”  (but we know he’s really talking about Cristina)

Mark goes out to talk to the daughter.  He teases her about drinking coffee too young.  He takes the time to tell her how when he was a child, his parents never really wanted kids and were gone a lot at night.  He’d turn on all the lights and tv and still he’d have trouble sleeping.  “It’s hard sleeping at night when you don’t feel safe in your own house.”   She agrees.  He takes the coffee and tells her to sleep on his shoulder.  He’s not taking no for an answer.   

Miranda Bailey checks on Callie before leaving the hospital.  The two exchange small talk and giggle.  Callie confirms that she heard right about the interns going all “scalpel crazy.”  Bailey defends, “I don’t know if it was, crazy.  I remember being an intern and being so excited . . .wanting to be in surgery so badly I’d do anything. . .Now. . .I can do most of my surgeries without even thinking about it.”  She reminisces how she wished she could feel that excited again, to feel challenged like that again.   “I don’t know maybe I don’t want to do general surgery, . . .maybe I need to find something that makes me bounce up and down,”  Bailey speculates.  Callie agrees with her.  She’s feeling tired, too and says, “I want. . .I don’t know. . . but I want somethin.”  “That makes two of us,” Bailey finishes.
