We ask a lot of our patients. We put them to sleep. Cut them open. Poke around in their brain and guts with sharp instruments. We ask for their blind trust. Irony is, trust is hard for surgeons, because we're trained from day one that we can't trust anyone but ourselves. The only instincts you can count on are your own. The only skills you can count on are your own. Until one day, you leave the classroom and step into the O.R. You're surrounded by others, a team of others. A team that you have to rely on whether you trust them or not.

Derek (opening voiceover)

Burke was- He took something from me. He took little pieces of me, little pieces over time, so small I didn't even notice, you know? He wanted me to be something I wasn't, and I made myself into what he wanted. One day I was me Cristina Yang, and then suddenly I was lying for him, and jeopardizing my career, and agreeing to be married and wearing a ring, and being a bride. Until I was standing there in a wedding dress with no eyebrows, and I wasn't Cristina Yang anymore. And even then, I would've married him. I would have. I lost myself for a long time. And now that I'm finally me again, I can't. I love you. I love you more than I loved Burke. I love you. And that scares the crap out of me because when you asked me to ignore Teddy's page, you took a piece of me, and I let you. And that will never happen again.

Cristina

Please don't cry on my ass.

Cristina

I'm trying to love you. Why won't you let me?

Owen

Hi. I know it's been a long day, and you're all anxious to get home. But I feel like we got off on the wrong foot this morning. I don't expect to win your trust overnight. But I want each of you to know you have mine. Which is why I felt it was important to personally come in here and apologize. I am neither pro nor anti merger. From this point on, everyone has a clean slate. I am not focused on the past. I'm looking to the future to all the promise this hospital has to offer. I plan to honor Richard Webber and his legacy, not undo it, which is why I'm both humbled and honored to be your new Chief of Surgery.

Derek (voiceover)

Drinking feels a little bit like all I have left.

Chief

I'm not the one whose immature. And you made me wreck my skin graft.

Mark

If my mother were here to see this, she would kick your ass for even considering it.

Meredith

Mark: I made a bet she wouldn't make it down that aisle. Won $50.
Owen: What aisle?
Mark: You never heard that story? That's a good story.

Derek: That's my chair.
Mark: I know I like it. Makes me feel powerful.

Lexie: Mark was really awesome at leaving you with good sex injuries.
Cristina: Please don't cry on my ass.

Yang got burns on her girl parts.
