The Heart of the Matter
Season 4 | Episode 4 | Aired 10/18/07

An emotionally-charged case hits close to home for The Chief while everyone else in the hospital anticipates a no holds barred brawl between Izzie and Callie. Oh, and there’s an offer of “48 hours of sex” on the table for someone at Seattle Grace.

When we last left our constantly-conflicted pal George, he had just told Callie about his affair with Izzie. In a move we didn’t see coming, she forgives him. George tries to find Izzie to give her the scoop but Callie gets to her first. She tells Izzie that George told her everything. Now that she has the lowdown there’s gonna be a showdown. The cafeteria. High noon. BE THERE!

After getting travel tips from McSteamy, McDreamy asks Meredith to go away with him for 48 hours of sex in wine country which, we presume, is much better than 48 hours of sex in Seattle. In order to go, she must trade shifts with Alex who forces her to take Norman, the world’s oldest intern, for the day. This proves challenging when Norman makes what we call a near-fatal goof by telling the wrong woman she’s dying. The search is on to find her once she checks out...of the hospital, that is.
