Let It Be

McDreamy and Addison are still pretending they don't hate each other, but their land of make-believe is rocked when two of their best friends, a married couple from New York, show up. The woman, Savannah, has tested positive for the ovarian/breast cancer gene, and wants a hysterectomy and radical mastectomy as a result. You know, just a little surgery. Addison is behind her 100%, but the boys...not so much. They all argue a lot. The husband is completely unsupportive, but shows up in the OR at the last minute. Izzie has problems with Savannah's decision, too, and she and Alex fight about it. Then she slaps him. Then she kisses him. All better!
Cristina and Burke go on their first date. It's awkward and uncomfortable and hilarious, until a very tall man with Marfan's Syndrome has an aortic dissection a few tables over, and they have to save his life. Burke lets Cristina hold the saw (not a euphemism!) during surgery, and Cristina declares it the best date ever. George, meanwhile, is almost smushed by a man who falls five stories (onto a most unfortunate pigeon) and survives, causing George to "Carpe Diem!" all over the hospital and get on a lot of people's nerves. The man, it is revealed, was actually trying to kill himself. He gets a second chance at life, but not for long, because he dies during surgery anyway.
Bailey is pregnant!
Meredith spends most of her time trying to avoid the McDreamys, but when she learns about true love from an elderly couple dealing with the wife's cancer diagnosis, she finds McDreamy in an elevator and pathetically confesses that she misses him. McDreamy comes very close to breaking his vows, but then decides that he can't. It is still pretty hot.
