Full Summary
The chief put on his glasses in his office and prepares for his day as George walks into the old intern locker room without his friends. A group of scared looking interns approach Cristina. She turns around and starts to deliver them a speech, the same one Bailey gave them. Izzie uses the same speech with her interns too but is disapointed whern they don't follow her. Alex uses the speech too and smiles as he does, Meredith also uses the speech but ends up talking about not sleeping with attendings. Cristina finishes her speech and waits for a page but realises that she won't get one, after a few moments of waiting she gives up and tells them to go.

The new residents moan about their interns and George tries to speak with Meredith privately. Izzie tries to get his attention but he ignores her. Izzie talks about how George disappeared after the wedding, Alex went to see Ava and Meredith and Cristina went awa on Cristina's honey moon. Cristina tells them she is fine and as some interns go to sit down nearby, they scare them away saying the spot is not for interns. George decides to go too.

Bailey approaches Derek and Derek tells her that Burke had a message to pass onto Cristina but he didn't know what to say, Bailey advises honesty and he asks if she wants to have a drink after work, Bailey then realises that Burke has disappeared, Addison left and he and Meredith broke up so he has nobody. The chief asks Bailey if he can speak to her but she says that they do not need to speak about how he chose Callie over her and she leaves to see the traumas.
