While it's bad news for the biker, it's good news for the docs. They get to use the new toy. It really does take only 13 seconds to diagnose all the patient's problems. Everyone is amazed. Some things are worth the wait. This is something April starts to realize.

Cristina is peeved when a high-functioning moron she used to know gets published in a medical journal. Her fury is put on hold when Dr. Russell asks her to assist on a super cool case. She's bummed to learn that the only reason she was brought onboard is so Russell could pitch her for money for his program. In other news, Bailey wants funding for a human genome mapping lab. Cristina gives it to her if only to tick off Russell and get more cases to work on.

Meredith's patient, Madeline, is a nice woman who has been teaching young kids for 28 years. All that looks like it may be coming to an end once cancer is discovered in her liver. She's terminal.

She wants them all to help her figure out ways to help their new teacher adjust for the rest of the school year. It's a heartbreaking, courageous scene.

Arizona is wearing high heels! She looks sexy as she models them, but doesn't respond to Callie's attempt to show her just how hot she looks.
