In life, we are taught that there are seven deadly sins.
We all know the big ones: Gluttony, pride, lust
But the sin you don't hear much about is anger. Maybe it's because we think anger's not that dangerous. That we can control it.
My point is, maybe we don't give anger enough credit. Maybe it can be a lot more dangerous than we think. After all, when it comes to destructive behavior...
At the Emerald City bar, Derek Shepherd stood with Preston Burke by the dartboard, shooting darts as they talked. Meanwhile, across the bar, Mallory Shepherd sat with Alex Karev while Meredith and Cristina got drinks.
Mallory finished her fourth shot of the night as she leaned in towards Alex. "So, what do you think Izzie's problem with me is?"
"Besides the fact that you're the only one who's outspoken about her and Denny?" Alex suggested with a chuckle. "Other than that, who knows. I wish your brother would stop hogging the dart board."
"Let the man relieve his anger," she waved him off as she glanced in her brother's direction. "He has to deal with his wife and mistress on a daily basis. And then there's his wife's affair partner who stopped in not too long ago."
"Who was also his best friend," Alex nodded, finding himself staring across the bar. "Do you think he's picturing my face?"
Her eyebrows furrowed as she slurred. "Your face? And why would he do that?"
"Because I'm screwing his sister," Alex answered as if it were obvious. "And I'm friends with his mistress."
As Cristina Yang and Meredith Grey walked up to them, Cristina was already complaining as she pointed to Burke, who stood at the dart board. "He's picturing my face. He's totally picturing that dart puncturing my skull."
"Who?" Mallory started looking around. "Where?"
"Burke," Cristina told her bluntly right as he got the dart in the center of the board and flexed his muscles in victory. "Whoa! Did you see that?"
Derek glanced over in the direction of the interns, but once he made eye contact with Meredith, he shook his head angrily and instantly looked in the other direction. Meredith downed another shot of tequila as she pretended not to pay him any attention.
