[voiceover] Secrets can't hide in science. Medicine has a way of exposing the lies. Within the walls of the hospital, the truth is stripped bare. How we keep our secrets outside the hospital – well, that’s a little different. One thing is certain, whatever it is we're trying to hide; we're never ready for that moment when the truth gets naked. That's the problem with secrets – like misery, they love company. They pile up and up until they take over everything, until you don't have room for anything else, until you're so full of secrets you feel like you're going to burst.

[After George comes out of the bathroom] There's no reason to be ashamed. It's normal, healthy even.
I'm not ashamed. 'Cause I wasn't doing anything. I don't have to. I have a girlfriend.
An imaginary girlfriend?
An actual girlfriend.
You know what? It's no big deal, you don't have to lie. I get it. You have needs.
What is going on out here?
Nothing.
[George walks away]
[to Meredith] Nothing. He's freaked out because I caught him playing with little Jimmy and the twins.
[he turns around] I have a girlfriend.
[then he walks away]
OK.
[Izzie laughs]
Hey Syph-boy!
You told her?
Just Cristina.
Syph-boy. It's got a nice ring to it; kind of like Super-boy, only diseased.
[voiceover] The thing people forget is how good it can feel when you finally set secrets free. Whether good or bad, at least they're out in the open, like it or not. And once your secrets are out in the open, you don't have to hide behind them anymore. The problem with secrets is even when you think you're in control, you're not.
[he sees Addison] Meredith, I am so sorry. [Addison walks over] Addison. What are you doing here?
Well you'd know if you'd bothered to return any one of my phone calls. [she turns to Meredith] Hi. I'm Addison Shepherd.
Shepherd?
And you must be the woman who's been screwing my husband.
