[voice over] There's no such thing as magic, as far as we know. And while as surgeons, we study the secrets behind the human body's intricate network of cells, tissues and organs. When things go wrong, horribly, horribly wrong, there are only so many tricks we have up our sleeves to put a body back together. But there is a kind of power, more of a spell really, and when we get it right, it can be pretty damn magical.

In this episode: Meredith Grey (2), Derek Shepherd (2), Cristina Yang (1), Callie Torres (1), Heather (1)
[Cristina is standing outside the lab where Miranda has holed up herself in.]
[about her coma patient] No, I know what you're thinking. EEG. I've already done one, and he's not having seizures. So why hasn't he woken up? Yeah. I've asked every doctor in the hospital for their opinion, and no one has any ideas. Oh, my god. You're right. Go global. Bailey, you are a genius.
Oh, Cristina. How'd it go with Bailey?
So great.
Did you get her to talk?
No.
[to Miranda] You've seen me mad. I hang out in the woods and I drink myself into a stupor. But the thing I've learned from hiding out is, it doesn't work.
[to the rambunctious younger brother of a patient] Hey, listen to me. Your sister needs rest today. You want to know why? 'Cause we opened up her head and we put magic inside. So I'd be nice to her if I were you, 'cause she has special powers. You understand? [the boy nods] That's what I'm talking about.
He put a vampire in her head. I'd watch out, kid.
[voice over] As surgeons we are no stranger to the breaks and tears in the human body, in fact we sacrifice the better part of our twenties learning every possible way to make it a whole again. But there are some wounds a surgeon can't repair. Not on their own. It takes a kind of power we just don't have. There's no such thing as magic, not in the traditional 'abracadabra, genie in a bottle' kind of way. But there is magic in knowing that while not everything can be repaired, most everything can be survived.
