Episode 15:
Walk on Water
Air Date: 02/08/2007
Derek finds Meredith in her tub, completely under the water,
and pulls her out. She tells him she doesn't need rescuing.
But he knows she's melancholy after the hurtful things her
mother said to her when she was lucid and is afraid she was
trying to drown herself. Meredith asks Izzie why she can't
just believe in "happily ever after" and Izzie says
she doesn't know what to believe in herself anymore.
Burke, Mark and Derek are amused to see that the Chief has
dyed his hair now that he's single again. Addison comes to
his defense and tells them all to leave him be, then confesses
that she dyed her hair blonde after Derek left her the first
time.
Burke wonders why Cristina hasn't told her friends yet about
their engagement and she says she'll do it today. But she makes
him promise to let her tell Meredith first. Meredith is no mood
to hear any good news, however, so Cristina doesn't say anything.
Derek confides his frustration with Meredith's depression
to Burke, so Burke tells him about his engagement. He doesn't
plan on Mark overhearing their conversation. Mark immediately
tells the Chief, who congratulates Cristina. She is upset
with Burke, but he tells her she had ample time to tell Meredith,
so why didn't she?
Meanwhile, Callie feels that George isn't respecting her
position as his boss now that they're married and reminds
him that at work she's his boss, not his wife.
The residents are doing triage drills -- led by the annoyingly
perky resident Sydney -- when the Chief announces that he
needs all hands on deck: There's been a multiple-victim accident.
Alex, Izzie, George, Meredith and Miranda head out to the
scene, a ferry that ran into a container ship because of fog.
There are bodies everywhere and the ferry itself is on fire.
Miranda tells the interns they're on their own, and sends
them into the fray.
George helps a woman with a serious stomach injury who makes
him promise to find her 7-year-old son before she lets him
take her to Seattle Grace. He's unable to locate her son before
she has to go into surgery but even though she begs them to
wait, they can't wait any longer.
Alex rescues a pregnant woman who was crushed under a huge
pylon. Her face is hideously swollen but, miraculously, her
baby is still alive. He wants to continue with the case at
the hospital and make sure the baby will be okay, but the
Chief hands the case off to Cristina.
Cristina is not happy when Burke doesn't want her to scrub
in on the pregnant woman from the accident, but instead asks
her to check on his existing patients. So neither Cristina
or Alex end up doing the surgery, but Alex goes to reassure
the woman that she's survived so far and he expects her to
still be alive after the surgery. Addison finds him and tells
him he did good today. He goes to the waiting room to tell
the victim's families their status, but is overwhelmed by
their desperate demands for updates on their loved ones.
At the accident site, a man begs Izzie to come help his friend,
who is trapped under a car on the ferry. When she gets there,
she realizes she can't do much to help the man, whose injuries
are massive, and that they need Search and Rescue to get him
out. But she stays and tends to him as best she can and sends
one of his friends to get the Search and Rescue team. After
a long delay, the friend comes back alone. Search and Rescue
isn't coming -- they have 15 more cases they need to get to
first. The man goes limp and then starts to seize violently.
His friends tell Cristina she has to save him.
A lost little girl attaches herself to Meredith, refusing
to go with anyone else. Meredith is working on a man with
a bad leg injury who's lying at the edge of the dock, away
from everyone else. She calls for help, but no one will come
to her aid, so she has to ask the girl to help her get some
equipment out of her bag. The girl won't talk and Meredith
says when bad things happen she doesn't talk either.
The man suddenly says he can't stand the pain and starts
to flail wildly, knocking Meredith into the water! No one
else sees what's happened and the girl just walks quietly
away. In the water, there is no sign of Meredith.
