Sister, Sister¹

Partnering with Yang

"Okay, are you going to talk to me any time soon?" Ivy asks Jackson as they listen to Owen.

"Yeah, sure," He says.

Owen stands in by the door of the residents lounge, "Fifth year is the hardest year of your residency. Every surgery you do will go on your record, the wins and the losses. In just a few months..."

Meredith walks in in pink scrubs and sits next to Cristina. Ivy looks down at her from her spot next to Jackson, "Neuros out and O.B.s in?"

"Oh, how the mighty have fallen, huh?" Jackson chuckles.

"She misses Zola. Her uterus hurts," Alex adds

"Oh, leave her alone, dirt bag," Cristina aids Meredith.

Ivy nudges him in his side, "Plus, I miss Zola too."

Owen has continued, "It is extremely important that you rack up as many good outcomes for your boards. I am implementing a system. I will receive an e-mail if any of you exceed more than ten bad outcomes in your O.R. Ten- any more is unacceptable. Welcome, Dr. Kepner," Owen greets as she ran in late.

"Sorry. I got stuck in the lab with Bailey," she excuses.

"I don't care where you were. I care that you already have, lets see... uh, two bad outcomes in your O.R.," everyone besides Ivy ooh.

Alex calls out, "Loser."

Owen then calls Alex out, "Of course that's nothing compared to Karevs impressive five bad outcomes."

Ivy giggles as Alex tries to explain himself, "I keep getting dud patients."

"Tell it to your board examiners. The point, people, is to keep your bad outcomes to a minimum, or you will be hard pressed to find a fellowship next year," Owen explains.

He then receives a text, "Uh, Dr. Yang, are you sure that you're getting all this down?"

Cristina smiles, "Mmhmm, bad outcomes are bad, which is why I have zero so far, a perfect record I plan to continue during my ortho rotation this week. No one dies during a hip replacement."

Ivy scoffs, "Okay, for one, I also have zero bad outcomes. And two, people die if you don't know what to do. You have spent basically your whole career on cardio so who knows how fresh that ortho knowledge is."

"Oh, please. I've got this," Cristina waves her off.

"Lets hope," Owen says.

Jackson leans towards Ivy, "You're on ortho this week, aren't you?"

She nods, "Yup. And from what I've seen this morning, Callie isn't super excited and cheerful today."

Ivy walks out of the elevator with Cristina and Callie, "I should be grateful that they're getting along, right? But I'm not, thought. I'm bitter. All they do is cook together. Oh, Ivy, maybe you could bring your new boyfriend over for dinner?"

She looks up from texting Jonathan, "Um, not yet. Him and Mark can not meet again until Derek and him meet again."

"Meet again?" Cristina asks, not looking up from her phone.

"Remember my losing my v-card story? Yeah, that was Jonathan," Cristina bursts out laughing.

"That is awesome. Oh, I better be there when he and Derek meet again. Oh, I want to record it," Callie takes Crsitinas phone.
