If Only You Were Lonely
Season 8 | Episode 16 | Aired 02/23/12

Remember how we said Jackson was on edge? Well, Mark knows that the best way to relieve stress is with a female companion. He does his best to hook up his protégé. Mark even tries to convince study buddy, April, to take one for the team. But Jackson isn't interested in anyone. Well, that's not exactly true. Mark realizes that he may still be in love with Lexie.

Derek gets strange looks from a variety of people as he chauffeurs baby Zola around the hospital. He starts to think it's a racial thing. It's not. It's a thing about a dad who doesn't yet know how to do his new daughter's hair properly. Thankfully, Bailey is around to set him straight and help fix Zola's disturbingly unkempt hairdo.

Cristina is keeping an eye on a pretty nurse named Emily. Why? Well, she suspects this woman is after Owen. She gets even more worried when she pages her hubby to an on-call room where he refuses to be intimate with her. Cristina tells Meredith that she thinks Owen is cheating on her. She has no proof of this, but still can't fight the feeling. Could it possibly be true?
