Talia Wing
Talia assisted her husband, a magician, during the saw a lady in half trick. During the trick, something went wrong and Talia said the safe word ("Titanic"). However, her husband didn't hear it over the noise of the chainsaw and accidentally cut his wife in half for real.
 * Diagnosis: Sawed in half
 * Doctors:
 * ​Meredith Grey
 * Richard Webber
 * Callie Torres
 * Shane Ross
 * Heather Brooks
 * Treatment: Surgery

After arriving in the ER, Talia was almost directly taken to the OR where Dr. Grey, Dr. Webber and Dr. Ross operated on her. Her kidney was shredded and she was bleeding heavily. Meredith couldn't find the source of the bleeding. Shane scooped out of the blood clods with his hand. Dr. Know, the anesthesiologist, said Talia's temperature was 69.7. Meredith said that this was too much and that they had to pack her. Dr. Torres came into the OR saying she took a look at the films they previously did and that she needed to take care of the fractures as soon as Talia would be stable. She questioned if Talia would ever be stable, and Richard replied they were simply doing damage control and that Talia was heading for a metabolic disease. He then urged Shane to work faster, as they needed to get Talia to the ICU as soon as possible.

In the ICU, Richard informed her husband and the other assistant that Talia was too unstable and that they wanted to let her body rest before taking her back into surgery. Soon after, Meredith was paged to Talia's room. Richard said she had abdominal compartment syndrome. Shane explained Talia was distened and hemorrhaging, which caused her internal abdominal pressure to skyrock.

 * Doctor:

 * Jackson Avery (plastic surgeon)
 * Treatment: Surgery

April asked Kim's friends to tell her everything that went into Kim's mouth. Her friends started giggling and didn't take her very seriously. They waved at Jackson, who came over, and they tried to seduce him. Together with Jackson, April managed to get them to tell her about all the drinks they had had. They told them about the "smoking nipple", a sweet drink with lots of rhum. After drinking it, smoke comes out of the drinker's mouth. Suddenly, Kim coughed up blood.

In surgery, April informed Jackson that the drink Kim drank was made with liquid nitrogen which blew our her stomach. She then said she'd take out the stomach completely.
