Maria was happy that she was coming back to work at Isabella was better. She was getting dressed as her neighbor was going to babysit. She went to visit her mom instead. "Doesn't your mom want to see your daughter."

"She doesn't remember her." She says. "Plus it's not likely that I'm going to get to see her if she spills something to Meredith."

Maria walked to her daughter and kissed her head. "I'll see you when I get home."

Maria couldn't believe what her mom said. She was sitting in the locker room with her sister as Cristina came in talking about something that Maria could careless about. She stood up and walked to her locker. She knew about Alex and Izzie having sex, but one thing caught her attention. "I'm not doing dirty with you anymore."

She looked at her best friend who she could tell actually looked was continuing the flirting. "Ew." She says causing Alex to shove her. "Hey!"

"You didn't say a word about coming back."

"Well, Mer knew."

Meredith looked at her sister.

Standing in the patients room, Meredith was giving Burke the report as the other interns stood in the room. Maria stood in the back. When they were able to leave, Maria saw Bailey with her baby causing her to walk over. "Maria, just the girl I was looking for." She says. "Here you go, godmother."

Maria looked at her shocked as Bailey talked to the other. She walked away as she knew she will talk to Bailey later. The girl walked to the desk as she was handed a file. She never noticed a guy coming up behind her.

"Invasive non-small cell with history of "C.O.P.D."?" She heard.

Maria looked up and was shocked to see a handsome stranger standing beside her. He looked at her and was surprised by her beauty. Shane went to walk up to the doctor, but saw Mark looking at the beauty beside him. "Guy's pretty much a goner, huh?"

"Yeah." She says. "You are very blunt for a stranger. I like it and the sensitivity. Are you new here?"

Meredith went to speak to her sister and stopped seeing a handsome doctor talking to Maria making her smile. "Despite all the rain and it's only my first day in town."

Maria smiled as she put the file away. "You will eventually get used to it."

"Makes me want to stay in bed all day."

"I would love to be in bed all day myself." She tells him. "But, we just met and you're already talking about getting in the bed."

"Not very subtle."

Addison went to see Maria when she saw Shane and Mark.

"Subtle's never been my strong suit." He says. "So...do you ever go out with coworkers?"

"Not really unless I get to know you first."

Shane couldn't believe that Mark was hitting on the pretty doctor. "Maria." Addison says causing her to jump back as Derek punched the guy in front of her.

"What the hell?" Maria says as she helped him.

"What the hell was that?" Meredith asked.

"That was Mark."

"Hello, Derek."

Derek turned to see Shane. "Shane." Addison says.

Maria was cleaning Mark's wound. "So you're the guy that Derek brought up."

Shane leaned against the door. "Derek, Shane and I always had the same taste in women." Mark tells her.

"Well." She replies.

"You're Derek's lusty intern, right?"

"Wrong sister." She tells him. "I'm Maria Grey."

"Oh." He says. "So, do you know about Shane too?"
