Derek and Meredith try (unsuccessfully) to be discreet as they spend the night together at Meredith's house, but their haggard appearance speaks volumes to everyone—including Bailey, who warns Meredith to end the relationship. George suspects an anesthesiologist of drinking on the job but is reluctant to speak up about it, Alex treats a former schoolmate who finds honor in self-mutilation, Izzie has to deal with a patient who won't let his girlfriend go, literally, and Cristina seems to be battling a case of the flu which reveals its true nature with a couple of positive pregnancy tests.
