Cristina (unintentionally) kicked her in a soft spot and she bit back without thinking. And it snowballed out of control from there. Like she said to Cristina in Get Up, Stand Up, she was jealous of Cristina becuase Cristina was the person they both wanted to be when they were interns. I don't agree that she made the best choices, but I certainly don't hate her for it.

I don't think she expected Callie to forgive her. I think she hoped Callie would forgive her. And she has long since forgiven Callie about the leg at this point. That is done and in the past now. And when Lauren came along, she had very recently had a miscarriage, which crumbled her already-fragile sense of self. If you notice, in season ten, when Callie finds out about the adhesions in her uterus and Arizona offers to carry, she says that she knows that if it doesn't work, it will destroy them and she doesn't want to put them in that position. Because that's what had happened the first time they tried to have another baby. They came back from it once, but they wouldn't come back from it a second time.
