" Yeah, what about people? " Chloe said

" Uh, when the chief decides which one of you gets to do the first solo surgery, you'll want to be ready. " bailey said

" Wait, did you just say solo surgery?" Cristina asked

" I do not know what it will be. I do not know when it will be. I do know that the winner should be prepared to do any surgical procedure and will choose one intern to scrub in. So practice your skills, impress your attendings and just do not make me look stupid. Uh, Grey, Grey, Stevens, you're with Hahn. Maddie grey, Yang, the pit. Karev and O'Malley, you're skills lab today, so you can take turns getting to know." Bailey said

Chloe stood on the ward with izzie, Meredith and Hahn

"So just to be clear, we are not cracking open any chests today?" Izzie asked as Chloe rolled her eyes

"No, Stevens. "

" It's just that with the solo surgery coming up, we were kinda hoping to be on a cool surgical something... " izzie said

" Right, I'm gonna stop you right there. Listen, I don't get attached to patients, but I like this guy. And I have spent almost two years giving his family hope and then taking it away. This procedure can buy him time until he can get another shot at a transplant. So we need to make sure it works, okay?" Hahn said

" Absolutely. "

" Of course. " meredith said

"Certainly" Chloe said

" You've familiarized yourself with the case? " Hahn asked

" Yeah, Michael Norris...44-year-old male with congenital hypertrophic cardiomyopathy who has failed medical treatment at Seattle pres. He's been waiting on a heart transplant since narrowly missing out on one on May 14th of two thousand... " Chloe said

" Wait, wait. What? May 14th what? " izzie said

" What?" Meredith said

"That's... that's denny's heart. That's the heart I stole for denny" izzie said as Chloe laughed

"Ha. Karma"

Chloe stood in Michael's room with Meredith as izzie stood at the door as she looked white

"So you're ... gonna give me a-a heart attack, literally" Micheal asked

"Uh, it's a technique called alcohol ablation, uh, through a catheter in your femoral artery. Dr. Hahn will inject ethanol straight into youreart. The alcohol will incinerate any tissue cells it touches. " Meredith said

" Dr. Stevens? " Hahn said

" W-we're gonna be burning away the muscle in your ventricle that's, um, blocking your ability to get oxygen. If we're successful, you should feel immediate relief, so... "

"Just like that, I'll ... be able to breathe? "

" Just like that." Hahn said
