Melissa was standing in the doorway of Cristina's room beside Meredith as Cristina danced up a storm in her room.
"You're both not dancing," Cristina said to her standing friends
"I'm too tense to dance," Meredith said.
"I don't even need to dance," Mel said which caused Cristina to raise an eyebrow knowing that was a lie.
"Which is why we're dancing," Cristina said.
"My problem is, I'm sleeping with a man who's dating. And I don't care if he dates Sydney. It's the woman he dates after Sydney, that's my problem. And if I had any sense at all, I would break up with the breakup sex. There would be no more breakup sexing. If I had any sense." Meredith said.
"Shut up! Dance it out." Cristina shouted at them.

"You know, I'm gonna tell him. I don't want him to see other people." Meredith explained to her friend.

"Dancing makes you brave," Cristina said which caused Mel to laugh and nod in agreement.

"Thank you, Dr. Gordon," All their interns said in unison.
They all entered the packed room where Sloan was ready to present the case.
"Okay, ladies and gentlemen, this is Nick Hanscomb." Sloan began.
"Hi," Nick said while looking around his room.
"Nick was lucky enough to have me remove a large carotid body tumor from his neck. The fact that I was able to get clean boundaries is pretty darn impressive, even for me." Mark said.
