[voiceover] There's this person... in my head. She's brilliant. Capable. She can do chest tubes and craniotomies, she can run a code without freaking out. She's a really good surgeon. Maybe even a great surgeon. She's me. Only so much better.
“The Becoming” · Season 4, Episode 14
In this episode: Meredith Grey (2), Miranda Bailey (2), Mark Sloan (2), Derek Shepherd (1), Richard Webber (1), Adele (1)
I just wanted to drop off the form myself... answer any questions you might have.
There are listed interns on this form.
Mm-hmm, I require the energy of youth. Dr. Shepherd was just a moment of weakness, for both of us.
Dr. Sloan?
Oh that was many moments, in on-call rooms, very hot.
Mm. Steamy.
Surprised you haven't listed me.
You're not my type.
Alright, Dr. Bailey I get the joke.
See this is a joke to you. I am a single woman. I've been a single woman for some time now, but the very idea that I could have a sexual encounter [She glares at the Board Member across the table], a consensual sexual encounter is a joke to you!
Dr. Bailey I...
So much so that you would single me out of this entire hospital as the one person who couldn't interest a member of the opposite sex, it's, it's just...
Harassment.
A..Adele!
[Bailey slaps the Chief's shoulder hard]
Just shame on you sir! Just shame on you! [She storms out]
[Adele secretly smirks]
[to all the nurses who boycotted Mark's surgeries] This boycott has gone on long enough. Now, OK, I have no authority here, but I would like to offer my thoughts on Dr. Sloan.
[whispers to Miranda] You're doing great.
Uh, this man is a whore, has always been a whore, will probably always be a whore. But, I mean, that's not a secret. He's not keeping it hidden. You all knew who he was before you got involved with him. And now you want to be all "woe is me, he doesn't call me back, he's dating other women." He's nasty, and that's not just you, he's sleeping with other doctors and orderlies and... cafeteria workers. But he's a doctor here and a pretty good one. So let us all close our knees and get back to our jobs so he can get back to his job and help the people that really need it.
The most refined, professional, lady-like doctor in this hospital came to my defense tonight. Best she could come up with was "he's a whore." [looks at Derek forlornly] I'm a whore.
I slept with her [Rose]. The whole time, I was thinking about Meredith. Who's the bigger whore?
[voiceover]: It was a good day. Maybe even a great day. I was a good doctor, even when it was hard, I was the me in my head. There was a moment when I thought I can't do this, I can't do this alone. But I closed my eyes and imagined myself doing it, and I did, I blocked out the fear, and I did it.
