Izzie and Meredith are assigned to assist Erica Hahn with a heart patient and Izzie freaks out when she realizes that she’s now helping take care of the man who was supposed to get the heart she stole for Denny. That’s right, she stole a donor heart for Denny Duquette, trying everything she could to save the man she loved, and this poor guy has paid the price. Now this patient has to undergo an excruciating experimental procedure and Izzie’s assigned to help him through it, since she’s the best at relating to patients. Suddenly, whether it’s brought on by stress or memories or something else, Izzie actually starts seeing Denny and she’s unable to do her job effectively.
