[voiceover] Okay, so, sometimes even the best of us make rash decisions. Bad decisions. Decisions we pretty much know we're going to regret the moment, the minute, especially the morning after. I mean, maybe not regret, regret because at least, you know, we put ourselves out there. But... still. Something inside us decides to do a crazy thing. A thing we know will probably turn around and bite us in the ass. Yet, we do it anyway. [...] What I'm saying is... we reap what we sow. What comes around goes around. It's karma and, any way you slice it... karma sucks. Like I was saying, payback's a bitch.
“What Have I Done To Deserve This?” · Season 2, Episode 19
In this episode: George O'Malley (4), Cristina Yang (2), Izzie Stevens (2), Meredith Grey (1), Alex Karev (1), Preston Burke (1)
[about Alex] What? So I slept with him again. So I'm a big whore. A big horny whore who can't get enough. Can we get over the shocked silence already?
Really? I guess I just think I believe in Karma. You know I mean good people deserve good things. At least that's how I thought the universe worked.
How can you think that and practice medicine?
Why... I'm not saying that everybody who gets sick or everybody who dies is bad. I'm just saying that, uh, I think that there's a balance. Or there should be balance! I should...there should be some sort of balance. That's...
Good god, O'Malley, what the hell did Grey do to you?
All right. So you slept with O'Malley. Get over it already.
He told you?
Uh, no. [Laughs] I was just kidding! I means it's not like I should be surprised.
Why not?
Because when your life is sucky, you get drunk and sleep with inappropriate men. It's your thing. Whatever. I find it charming.
You sleep with inappropriate women when you're sober.
One inappropriate woman. And Izzie forgave me for that. O'Malley is not going to get over this.
Izzie hasn't forgiven you!
Yes, she has. We're together.
No you're not. Izzie may be sleeping with you, but she'll never see you the way she saw you before you slept with Olivia.
Why are you trying to piss me off?
You're trying to suggest that it's forgivable for you to sleep with Olivia, but not forgivable for me to sleep with George.
[George walks in]
You told him?!
George!
Wow, when I'm wrong about someone.
No, I...
I am REALLY wrong!
No, George! It's not... it's not what you think!
Dude! Chill!
You chill! You chill! I'm not... I'm not going to chill.
George, I...
What's going on?
The fetus is freaking out.
I can see that! Why are freaking out?
You think someone is your friend. [Cristina walks in] You know? And you think at the very least you'd respect my privacy!
What's going on?
Baby boy is freaking out.
She can see that.
I can see that.
CICristina and Izzie
Why is he freaking out?
George, can we at least talk?
I don't want to talk! Not to you! I wanted to keep my mouth shut. And if you hadn't been running away from me every time you see me, you would know that!
Okay, you're right, but can we just talk now?
You want to talk now, because you told everyone that we had sex!
You had sex?
You had sex with George?
You didn't tell them?
No.
DAMMIT! [trips and falls down stairwell]
[voiceover] One way or another our karma will leave us to face ourselves. We can look our karma in the eye or we can wait for it to sneak up on us from behind. One way or another, our karma will always find us. And the truth is, as surgeons, we have more chances than most to set the balance in our favor. No matter how hard we try we can't escape our karma. It follows us home. I guess we can't really complain about karma. It's not unfair. It's not unexpected. It just... evens the score. And even when we're about to do something we know will tempt karma to bite us in the ass... well, it goes without saying. We do it anyway.
