Let the truth sting

The new intern's were really amazed with George's performance and Alex overheard them in the elevator. Knowing that he is just a repeater, tried to react but Lexie stopped him.

Chief and Mark decided to do a cutting-edge hemiglossectomy and tongue tissue transplant which could retain the patient, Connie’s ability to talk though they were not that really sure of the procedure. Derek managed to finish the tongue surgery and criticized them for performing a surgery they were unsure of how to perform.

Cristina found out that Meredith and Derek are still having sexual relationship, upset that Meredith thinks she is too weak and fragile to handle the truth. She decided to get back at her by acting upset and sad, playing on Meredith’s pity, in order to get her surgeries. Meredith falls for it trading her hemiglossectomy for Cristina’s interns. Meredith later on discovered that Cristina has been faking to get her surgeries, and told her that she wants to stay up all night talking about her feelings, which caused her to cave and admit she was faking.

Meredith went at the pit and supervised Lexie in giving an intubating procedure on a DOA patient. Lexie got angry at Meredith when she felt that Meredith did not tried her best to save the patient, Meredith retaliates by sending her to the clinic to help Bailey. Lexie emotionally requests that Bailey allow her to work away from Meredith. Bailey confronts Meredith and reminded her of her duty to teach the interns. Meredith learned that Lexie is under the belief that she hated her mother the way she did her father, she brings her the hospital report on her mother's death and explains to her how her mother died. She also admits that she was fond of her mother.

Alex was assigned to a new intern, Dr. Norman Shales, who happens to be an old man and former pharmacist.

Bailey went to Callie and admitted that she had difficulties grasping with the "pecking order" and not being number one anymore. She makes amends with Callie and agreed to help her and work together in the future.

Unable to contain the truth anymore, Alex cruelly informed the other interns that George's skills were result of failing a previous internship which he had been trying to hide.

George went home and confessed to Callie that he had slept with Izzie.

The truth is painful. Deep down nobody wants to hear it... especially when it hits close to home. Sometimes we tell the truth because the truth is all we have to give. Sometimes we tell the truth because we need to say it out loud to really hear it for ourselves. And sometimes we tell the truth because we just can't help ourselves. Sometimes, we tell them... because we owe them at least that much.
