[voiceover] We ask a lot of our patients. We put them to sleep. Cut them open. Poke around in their brains and guts with sharp instruments. We ask for their blind trust. Irony is, trust is hard for surgeons, because we're trained from day one that we can't trust anyone but ourselves. The only instincts you can count on are your own. The only skills you can count on are your own. Until one day, you'll leave the classroom and step into the O.R. You're surrounded by others, a team of others. A team that you have to rely on whether you trust them or not.
“State Of Love And Trust” · Season 6, Episode 13
In this episode: Cristina Yang (3), Derek Shepherd (2), Lexie Grey (2), Meredith Grey (1), Alex Karev (1)
Today sucks. Mark sucks.
Yang got burns on her girl parts.
Oh, wow.
I do not... They're not on my girl parts.
Then they're on her ass. Look how she's walkin'.
Don't you two have patients?
How did you get burns on your ass?
[walks up] You paged?
Mer! Thank god. Come, the rest of you, bye. [pulls her over to a bed, she closes the curtain]
Oh my god!
Not so loud!
How did you...? What...? You have grate marks burned into your ass.
Yeah, vent marks. But same difference. [whispering] I was busy having sex. Will you please just dress the wound. Owen's being very caveman-like. It's hot, vaguely disturbing, but mostly hot. I- I think he might still be a little upset that I offered him to Teddy.
[Alex and Lexie pull back the curtain]
MCMeredith & Cristina
Alex!
Hot cross buns.
Ooh, that's gonna blister.
Is this a sex injury?
Oh my God.
It is. I used to have sex injuries with Mark. Mark was really awesome at leaving you with good sex injuries. [starts sobbing]
Please don't cry on my ass.
[to Owen] Burke. Burke was- He took something from me. He took little pieces of me, little pieces over time, so small I didn't even notice, you know? He wanted me to be something I wasn't, and I made myself into what he wanted. One day I was me Cristina Yang, and then suddenly I was lying for him, and jeopardizing my career, and agreeing to be married and wearing a ring, and being a bride. Until I was standing there in a wedding dress with no eyebrows, and I wasn't Cristina Yang anymore. And even then, I would've married him. I would have. I lost myself for a long time. And now that I'm finally me again, I can't. I love you. I love you more than I loved Burke. I love you. And that scares the crap out of me because when you asked me to ignore Teddy's page, you took a piece of me, and I let you. And that will never happen again.
I know it's been a long day, and you're all anxious to get home. But I feel like we got off on the wrong foot this morning. I don't expect to win your trust overnight. But I want each of you to know you have mine. Which is why I felt it was important to personally come in here and apologize. [voiceover] I want to clear some things up. I am neither pro nor anti merger. From this point on, everyone has a clean slate. I am not focused on the past. I'm looking to the future to all the promise this hospital has to offer. I plan to honor Richard Webber and his legacy, not undo it, which is why I'm both humbled and honored to be your new Chief of Surgery.
