Synopsis:
A man who has priapism comes to the hospital, and Meredith awkwardly realizes that he is her one-night stand.
(From ABC)
Meredith is mortified when her "one night stand" shows up at the hospital suffering from priapism and needing medical attention; a woman carrying quintuplets is overwhelmed by numerous medical issues as she navigates her high-risk pregnancy; and Alex's shortcomings frustrate Izzie.
Alex begins the episode unable to perform with Izzie. A sense of failure hangs over him. Medically, he's assigned to work with Derek on a man with a tumor that's causing him to drink too much water. Dangerously too much water. The man has a sodium imbalance caused by the excess of water, but when Alex gives the wrong order to Nurse Olivia when trying to compensate for that imbalance, he leaves the patient on the verge of death. This is too much for Alex, and in a moment of weakness he and Olivia wind up rekindling their faded relationship and they are in the throes of passion when Izzie finds him. Izzie and George have been assigned to work with Burke and Addison on the quints about to be born. The mother took fertility drugs, to try to have just one daughter and now she has five babies on the way that will all need surgical attention soon after birth. That is disconcerting to Izzie, who wonders why anyone would put her children in such a position voluntarily, especially when the mother had the option to reduce the number of births. But the mother explains it to her quite succinctly: how in the world could she choose, of the five, which ones would be born and which ones wouldn't? The episode ends with all the interns rallying around the mother and her babies as Addison leads her through the complicated birthing nes wouldn't?
