(From ABC)
The nurses at Seattle Grace Hospital go on strike, leaving the doctors to fend for themselves; Meredith's mistake in treating an elderly patient is brought to light by the patient's friends (June Lockhart, Betty Garrett and Rae Allen) and Izzie treats a pregnant teen.
George doesn't have a case in this episode because he's siding with the nurses while they are on strike. George refuses to cross the picket line into the hospital until the nurses themselves talk George into going in there to at least check on their patients. Meredith saves a dying elderly patient who was DNR, but not properly labeled as such. Alive only in the loosest sense of the word, the patient's friends want Meredith to take out the tube keeping her alive. Meredith has end this life, which causes her to have a mini breakdown in the closet at she thinks about her own mother's mortality (and that fact that she seems to be alone). Derek is there to comfort her. Though initially disapproving of the fact that Richard had been secretly visiting her mother, Meredith decides to let him continue doing it because he's like Ellis's lifeline that she doesn't want to pull out.
