S2 E11
owner of a lonely heart
BAILEY, CRISTINA AND MADDISON stand outside as an ambulance pulls up.
"Constance Ferguson. 40. Inmate at Henderson." The paramedic tells them, opening up the ambulance. "Swallowed a razor blade."
"Attempted suicide?" Cristina asks.
"Attempted field trip." Bailey corrects. "Worked too."
The patient gets pulled out, which she screams with joy.
"What do you mean field trip?" Maddison questions.
"It says on her chart she's was in solitary. This is her way out." Bailey tells them.
"Oh, is she crazy?" Cristina asks.
"If you call a murder crazy." The paramedic answers, sarcastically.
"Yeah, baby that's what I'm talking about!" The convict yells, as they wheel her in.
"Cristina, get me her labs." Bailey tells her interns. "Maddison, you're here in the pit today."
MADDISON PRESSES THE BUTTON inside the elevator, when Liam walks in.
The intern's eyes widen.
"Uh, I forgot, uh, something." Maddison shutters and goes to walk out, but Liam comically pulls her back with the back of her lab coat, a done look on his face.
The elevator doors close, as Maddison sighs giving into her fate. The lift starts to move up, as Maddison looks at Liam awkwardly.
"So, you're planning on avoiding me until?" Liam questions.
"Until you inevitably forget the thing that I want you to forget." Maddison tries.
"Yeah, that's not going to happen." Liam tells her.
"I didn't mean to okay." Maddison throws up her hands. "I didn't think when I called you my boyfriend, and if that made you think-" She gets cut off when Liam hits the stop button. "What... are you doing"
"I don't want to be your boyfriend." Liam tells her.
"Excuse you?" Maddison tilts her head.
"Yet." Liam clarifies. "I don't want to be your boyfriend yet." Maddison looks at him confused, making him sigh. "Look, I said some pretty mean things, and I haven't made up for them yet. So, I don't want to be you boyfriend until I do, because I want to start our relationship on good, no, great terms." Maddison looks at him speechless. "So..?"
"You are such a..." Maddison shakes her head, making Liam grin.
"So, does that mean we're good?" Liam asks.
"Yeah." Maddison smiles, nodding. "We're good."
"Good." Liam smiles back.
Maddison pulls him in by his lab coat, kissing him.
THE ELEVATOR DOOS OPEN in front of Izzie, and she look in to see Liam fixing his lab coat and Maddison combing her fingers through her hair.
Izzie scoffs, shaking her head.
"Get a room, guys." Izzie says, walking in.
"We, would but Alex is probably sleeping with someone in there." Maddison shrugs, making Izzie glare at her. "Oh, come on, Iz, that was funny."
But before she could say anything, Olivia walks in.
There is an awkward silence as Liam and Maddison stand together at the back, while Izzie and Olivia stand in the front, away from each other.
"I had no idea that you and Alex were a couple." Olivia starts, nervously. "It's just... I was having a bad day and it was good to have someone. To talk to I mean. Not good to... Alex really is good." Behind them, Maddison was hanging on to Liam's arm, trying not to laugh, as the attending fight off a smile. "I mean he's good in the way he's a good person good. Not the other kind of good." Maddison buries her head in Liam's body so she doesn't burst out laughing. "You know good in bed, good... which he is as I'm sure you know, but..." The elevator stops and Izzie gets off without saying anything, her expression not changing even once. "Oh, ok. Well, bye."
Maddison wheezes, making Liam look over Maddison's head to not laugh out loud. Olivia turns and before she could see, they break apart.
Maddison clears her throat.
"Nice try, Olivia." Maddison tells her, nodding.
CRISTINA WALKS UP TO the entrance of the NICU, but stops when she sees Liam standing in the doorway, looking inside.
"What are you-" Cristina tries to ask, but Liam shushes her.
"How you doing you? You know I'm having a baby too." They hear Bailey say.
"Shh, she's been doing this for the past 7 minutes." Liam tells her, pointing to Bailey, who was inside and talking to one of the babies in a baby voice.
"Yes I am. A little boy. Maybe you can meet him someday. How does that sound? Does that sound good?" The resident continues.
The two watch the resident, as she continues to talk in the baby voice, but finally notices them.
"Pregnancy has not made me soft." Bailey tells them. "I haven't got soft. I don't do soft."
"Of course, not. You were just talking to a patient." Cristina replies, making Bailey give Liam a look, who looked like he was about to laugh.
The resident narrows her eyes and Liam coughs.
"Absolutely, Dr. Bailey." Liam nods, and Cristina hands Bailey a scan.
"What's this?" Bailey asks, as her and Liam look at the scan.
"The inmate's x-rays." Cristina answers.
"Uh! That foolish, foolish, woman!" Bailey comments.
"She swallowed 4 razor blades!" Liam says, and Cristina nods. He turns to Bailey. "Good thing you already paged me."
"I'M TELLING YOU, Meredith was all over him!" Izzie rants as her, George, Cristina and Maddison sit at the lunch table.
"Seriously? She was all over him?" Cristina asks, sarcastically.
"What like, mounting him?" Maddison adds.
"With all the babies watching? Seriously?" Cristina finishes, making Izzie roll her eyes.
"Well, she would've been if I hadn't interrupted." Izzie says.
"Yeah, because NICU is the best place to get it on." Maddison says.
"She was talking to him." George defends.
"You don't talk to bastards that cheat on their girlfriends, George! That's the rule!" Izzie replies.
"You weren't officially his girlfriend." George says.
"That's not the point." Izzie tells him.
"It is kinda the point. You don't see me getting all emotion over people I'm not dating." George says, making Izzie raises her eyebrows and give him a look.
"Really? You wanna go there?" Izzie asks him.
"No." George instantly replies.
"No, let's go there." Maddison tells her. "At least Georgie doesn't bitch about how he doesn't get the time of day all the freaking time."
"I'm having a moment here! Don't mess with me!" Izzie tells them.
"You're not gonna have a nervous breakdown and kill yourself are you?" Cristina asks.
"No." Izzie replies.
"So, there's no chance you'll kill us?" She asks, making Izzie glare at them.
"Is that what you really think?" Izzie asks them.
"If you knew what we really thought, you'd probably be crying in a corner." Maddison tells her.
Izzie huffs and gets up, walking away.
"Oh, that was wrong on so many levels." George laughs.
"So, good." Cristina nods.
"Yeah, that was... that was good." George nods, as Cristina laughs.
"We're bad people." Maddison nods, smiling.
"It was good. It was good." Cristina nods.
