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

Bailey treats a woman who injured herself doing a "sexy flexy." What's a "sexy flexy," you ask? Well, it's a pole dancing move this older lady tried to do for her husband to celebrate their 45th wedding anniversary. The patient is also a fan of vagazzling. What's "vagazzling," you may ask? It's… well… not important. What is important is having sex with your husband. Bailey can relate, as she had an experience on the beach that is way more invasive than vagazzling. It put a serious damper on her honeymoon.

Jackson is operating on a 16-year-old boy who has a disease that gives him misshaped face. He was Mark Sloan's patient for many years. Jackson wants to do a risky procedure that deviates from his mentor's original plan. Arizona isn't happy about this. She has Derek talk him out of going forward. Later, Jackson sees that his patient has a hot girlfriend thanks to some advice he got from Mark. This has him reconsidering his reconsideration of the risky surgery. Things go swimmingly and the patient looks great afterwards.

Heather treats a young girl with abdominal pain. The teen's mom is an overbearing piece of work. Meredith shows her intern how to talk to the patient, not the parent. Surgery on the girl reveals a giant hairball inside her belly. It's from a condition that has you wanting to chew and eat your hair. Heather encourages her patient to stand up to her mom, which she does. She demands that she sees a therapist for her problem. For the first time in probably forever, the girl's mom is left speechless.
