(See the tempestuous Callie romance for proof, another dynamic I feel is being prematurely cut short.)

I need you to have sex with Cristina Yang, Dreamy pleaded with Steamy.

(Are there really this many contests at real-life hospitals?

Never mind, I probably dont want to know.)

You dont have any history, any relationships, the Chief told him.

That perspective is rare here.

we learned what Hahn was going to have to do to help Mr. Didnt Get Dennys Heart.

All we really needed to know is that it would suck, and hed be awake for it.

(They sure do love to keep that Jeffrey Dean Morgan employed, dont they?

Bad economy, I guess.)

Its a lot of Denny for one day, Meredith said while making sure Izzie was okay.

Is it a lot of Denny for you, too?

I mean, how much Denny are you experiencing?

May I answer that?A lot.

I am experiencingan awful lotof Denny.

My pain is getting worse…my pain is getting worse, Stan the robot patient blared.

And when Alex said Stan sucked, he retorted, Your bedside manner is what sucks.

Tell Stevens to find me so I can throw her off my service, Hahn barked to Meredith afterwards.

(When in doubt, blame Meredith.)

Hunt hates me, Cristina told Meredith.

Hes worse than Hahn.

(I mean, come on, wasnt she watching the damn show before she was on it?)

You mean besides the engagement?

Oh, and the cutting of his LVAD wire so she could move him up the transplant list?

But as it turned out later…no.

Anyway, Hahn was none too pleased.

(And can anyone blame her?

Would a real hospital let this sort of thing pass?

I applaud Seattle Graces sympathetic side, but still.)

Hahn marched into the Chiefs office and demanded, How is Stevens still working here?

How is Seattle Grace still accredited?

She even threatened to call for an ethics review panel of the matter.

Then finally, Cristina had it out in private with Hunt.

Theyre all people, he scolded her.

Theyre not a game or a contest.

Thats why I do this, she said, and its why I win all the contests.

These two are going to have some hot sex soon, arent they?

And she is not going to sleep with Sloan, thank goodness.

Or, as Meredith said to Derek at home, Sloan?

To which I say: Hahn is leaving?

Alas, it seems so.

Theres a reason we have each others backs, Callie said in defending her ex-husbands onetime mistress.

There is no gray area here.

You cant kind of think this is okay.

You cant kind of side with Izzie Stevens.

And you cant kind-of be a lesbian.

Okay, so what did you think?

Was it as unsatisfying a departure for you?

And howwouldyou feel about a Cristina-Mark hookup?
