In the clinic, Izzie is confronted by a patient who complains that Izzie told her she had cancer when she’s since learned that she has cancer, so Izzie must have switched the results. I guess Izzie doesn’t have anemia like she thought, it’s cancer! Finally, a diagnosis for her recent insanity.

The files were mislabeled by Sadie, who is now fired. Izzie complains about her incompetent interns to Bailey, but she doesn’t care. Izzie heads to the bathroom so she can touch herself all over. No, it’s not dirty, she’s checking for lumps to try and find the cancer. I’m guessing it’s in her brain, because that’s the only reason you wouldn’t seek out help as soon as you learn you might have cancer.

She eventually does, visiting the dermatologist for a mark she found on her back. Combined with her recent inability to see things and her hallucinations, the signs are all adding up against her. In the end, she tries to teach the interns by using herself as a case for them to properly diagnose.

Bailey is preoccupied with getting letters of recommendation from the Chief and George so she can finally start her new career as a pediatric surgeon. She’s less than pleased to see the Chief called her “fine.” I’m loving Bailey’s new teased, feathered hair. It’s good to see that annoying mushroom bowl is gone.

George’s letter is glowing, and Bailey confronts the Chief to wonder why his letter wasn’t as good. His rational response is that he has a neurosurgeon being accused of murder, an aging surgeon he needs to fire, and interns screwing up diagnoses and switching files. Also, he feels like Bailey is abandoning his dream of having her replace him some day.
