"I was at the bar when the Joe thing happened, but now, I want a surgery so I can sleep peacefully" Anna replied

George looking at Anna weirdly "you want a surgery so you can go to sleep?..."

"Yeah...What's wrong with that?"

"No, nothing. you just- nothing" George stuttered

There attention was directed to izzie as she addressed Meredith "why are you back here tonight? Don't you have a date with McDreamy?"

"More like McMarried"

"McWhat?"

"I came to check on Joe" Meredith tells them

"Do you think he's gonna be okay?" George questions

"Do you think he's gonna need an operation?" Cristina asked eagerly

They all go silent as Derek appears "operation, yes. Ok, hard to tell. Basilar artery's like a balloon. Subarachnoid bleeding. Aneurysm the size of a golf ball"

"No way to clip something like that" George points

"Not without magic finger" Cristina says

"You could do a standstill" Anna says, everyone looked at her taking her suggestion into consideration.

Cristina looked to Derek for confirmation "are you doing a standstill....." izzie gave her a look that made her stop "he doing a standstill operation" she defended

"I will try" Derek spoke up "but first I need some additional patient history, overnight labs and a cerebral angio" he say handing the chart to Meredith

"I'm drunk" Meredith said, as George takes the chart

"Meredith..." he tries, but she walks away. He goes to follow her each intern getting in his way slowing him down

Anna goes to take the chart from George, when Cristina snatches it from her "hey! That's mine"

"Snooze ya loose" Cristina mocks moving it out of reach as Anna tries to take it from her

Before they could start arguing, they heard a very obvious 'ahem' from izzie. The sisters looked at them, when George asked "what are you doing?"

"Ummm. I am on her side" Cristina starts

"This is a standstill we're talking about" Anna finished reaching over to take the chart from Cristina

"Recognize" Cristina says, moving the chart away from Anna hands, and walking away

Anna huffs at the loss of the surgery she wanted. She sighed walking in the opposite direction, when George called after her "h-hey where're you going?"

"Home.... It my night off"

————————

The next morning Anna was in the locker room, she had just finished changing when Bailey walked in "okay, people assignments. Yang, Willams you're on discharges. O'Malley report to room E19. Grey come see me. And who was on call last night?"
