Hearing he might get suspended, Cristina calls dibs on one of his upcoming surgeries. Medical records called to tell him he needs to sign all charts himself or they would suspend his privileges. The EKG looks normal to Cristina, who asks what Alex is doing here. Meredith asks Alex to help out as she's swamped, but he refuses. Meredith asks her for a second opinion on the EKG instead of answering as Alex walks in. Meredith walks back to the desk, where Cristina asks her why she should say no to Callie. Meredith says that they don't take chest pains lightly around here, and she tells Tyler what to do, promising that they'll try to take care of it as quickly as possible. "And you wouldn't just be saying that to get discharged faster?" Meredith asks, and the father says that he got his son tickets to the game for his birthday. He tells her that his chest pain is much better. Meredith introduces herself, and he explains that he has to take his son, who's a big fan, to the basketball game. Oliver, the patient, is on the phone with his wife, and he promises that he can barely feel the chest pain and that he'll make it. Meredith enters the trauma room, where Tyler gives her the EKG results. Meredith tells her that she has to say no to that. Cristina then reveals that Callie asked her to be her baby's godmother. She also tells Owen that OR 5 is ready for him. Meredith signs off and tells Arizona that a kid is coming in. With her eyes, she points towards the patient's "girlfriend from hell". Before signing off on it, Meredith asks if he's neurologically intact, and Lexie assures that he's just suffering from a migraine.

She's interrupted by Lexie, who wants to discharge her patient. After joking about big boobs, Cristina tells Meredith that Callie has this thing.
