The End Is the Beginning Is the End
Season 9 | Episode 11 | Aired 01/17/13

It's the last day of Meredith's first trimester. Derek wants his wife to finally break the news to her twisted sister. Speaking of Cristina, she believes that having sex with someone who used to be your husband is way more fun than doing so when he is your husband. Speaking of Owen, he now knows that Derek blames him for the plane crash. Speaking of the plane crash, the judge has finally made his ruling on the case. The hospital is found negligent. The plaintiffs in the case will be getting $15 million each!

Callie wants to celebrate the victory, but everyone else just wants to get back to the hospital. Shane is excited to be working with Derek. Actually, they won't be working. They'll be playing ping pong. It's Callie's way of testing her patient's hand for endurance. In other news, Owen feels up Jo thinking she was Cristina from behind. The utterly embarrassed intern has been spending lots of time with Alex, but the two of them aren't sleeping together. The same can't be said for Jackson and Stephanie, who are trying to keep their relationship a secret.

The Derek-Shane ping pong tournament draws a crowd. Alex makes a thousand-dollar bet with Jo on the outcome. Cristina interrupts the match to ask Derek to forgive Owen. Then the battle rages on with Shane winning the day. That means Jo just became a thousand bucks richer. She uses the cash to buy Alex a couch for his place. It's a very "girlfriend" thing to do, but these two insist they are just friends. In other doctor-intern news, Jackson lets April know that he's sleeping with Stephanie so she doesn't hear it from someone else.
