Not knowing anything about LVAD-gate, Hahn purposely chose Izzie because she connects well with patients, but obviously, this is one patient she'd rather not connect with. As they do the procedure, Izzie freezes up and can't talk Mike through it because Denny's specter is hovering over the bed. She leaves the room, pissing off Hahn. Meredith explains that Izzie's had a relationship with Denny Duquette.

Derek and Bailey's patient is an old woman named Rose who doesn't want to be kept alive by extraordinary measures. She says good-bye to her husband before the surgery as if it's the Final Good-Bye, but that's just their custom for surgeries. They say good-bye before surgery, and then they say hello again afterward. They are the Holy Grail of Marriage. Unfortunately, the surgery doesn't fix everything, and Rose might not make it through the night.

Cristina is working the pit with Lexie (Chyler Leigh) supervised by Major McHottie. Their patient is a battered John Doe who was likely thrown off of a bridge. Major McHottie rides her hard, but not in the good way, for her shortcomings as she treats the patient. Meanwhile, Mark makes a humorous attempt to flirt with Cristina, but his efforts go completely unnoticed, probably for the first time in his life.

Lexie catches her fellow interns in the basement, practicing putting IVs in each other's arms because Cristina won't let them do anything. This is so very Flatliners. I wonder if their old ghosts will materialize to haunt them. Lexie flirts up the morgue attendant and gets her hands on a whole bunch of cadavers for them to practice on instead. Unfortunately, Alex and the rest of the interns sniff out the cadavers and take over them for their own practice. Alex even brings Izzie down to cheer her up from her crappy day. It's like a bouquet of corpses!
