Ivy walks with Callie in the halls on her way to the bus, "Okay, no pressure but I put a lot of time and effort into you. So, don't blow it. Make me proud."

"Don't worry, I will. Thank you, Callie, for everything. Oh, and I've made my decision. I'll be staying here for my ortho and trauma fellowship, when I pass my boards," Ivy hugs one of her mentors.

Callie starts tearing up, "Good. I'm glad. Now, go, you're making me cry."

Going to the ambulance bay, she sees Jackson talking to Mark. She quickly heads to them and as Mark is offering Jackson a wad of cash, Ivy grabs it.

"Thanks big brother!" She shouts over her shoulder, heading towards Hunt.

"Have salmon for dinner. None of that-" he starts shouting to her.

"Frozen crap, all fresh. Got it. Come on Jackson," Ivy gestures for him to follow her.

Ivy stops in front of Owen and looks expectantly, "Okay, you're a trauma surgeon. You're a soldier. You're the most promising resident and if there's one I don't need to worry about, it's you. So go, be a soldier."

She nods, "I'm a soldier. I'm a kickass ortho and trauma surgeon. I got this."

She takes a deep breath and gets on the van. She quickly takes a seat next to Jackson, "Hey, that money you took from Sloan, you'll share that with me, right?"

"Ha, no. You're an Avery. You have enough money, plus he's my brother which means his money is mine," she says, kissing his cheek.

Ivy and April lead their group of residents to check in when she bumps into a guy, "Oh. Sorry. Thats- oh, Case Western Reserve. Uh, do you know Ted Stevenson, head of trauma?"

"I do, yeah," he says.

"He just offered me a job. I might be an attending there. April Kepner, Seattle," she puts her hand out to shake.

"Kevin Banks. I'm the guy whose job you took. I was waiting to hear, but I guess I just heard. Thanks a lot."

Ivy let's out a little laugh as she drags April back over to the group, "Well, he hates me."

Ivy takes a seat on Jacksons lap as Alex asks, "How do you do that? You've been here, like, two minutes."

"My examiner is gonna hate me, too, instantly," April shakes her head.

"Stop that. Stop psyching yourself out," Ivy directs her.

April lists the statistic she's been saying the whole trip, "One in five people fail the boards."

"Fine. Psych yourself out," Cristina tells her.

"Its just a test. We've all dealt with worse. No one's bleeding out on your table. We will be fine," Jackson tells the group.

Alex snorts, "Dude, you're just calm because you have Little Shep over there."

Jackson shakes his head, "No, not entirely. I'm calm because we've got this. Ivy is just a plus."

Meredith and Cristina get up and face away from the group, and then April goes up to them. Soon, Meredith leans over and pukes. Cristina and Ivy take Meredith to get cleaned up and once they come back, Meredith gets questioned.
