Mia stood on the doorway of the living room with Beth as they looked to see Derek as he sat on the couch. He was eating cereal.

"Dude, he is fried." Alex said

"He's not fried. He lost a patient and got hit with a lawsuit all in one week. He just needs time."Beth said as mia smiled. She couldn't help but feel bad and their mark opening up over their relationship didn't help this situation

"He's been sitting there for three days. The sofa cushions are gonna start bonding to his ass, and he's eating all my cereal." Alex said

" He's taking stock. Something huge and life- Altering happened to him, and he's taking stock, figuring out his next move. We shouldn't judge him. We shouldn't rush him" izzie said

"Why do I still love with you" Beth said as mia chuckled

" Whatever. Sylvia Plath's picking out all the marshmallows. They're the best part. " alex said

" And I'm pretty sure that he's sitting on my keys. I'd ask him to move, but he looks so ... comfy. " izzie shad

" Oh, you guys are cowards. " Beth said as she goes over to Derek.

"You're eating. That's good. Appetite is good. You know what else is good? Showering, cleansing, water. Are you thinking you'll shower, maybe go into the hospital? " Beth asked

" I have to, for the deposition. I have to go and explain in detail how I killed a man's pregnant wife. " derek said

" That's good. I mean, not the killing part, but the- - I- I think you'll feel better once you ... Go to ... Work." Beth said

Derek gets up, gives Alex his cereal back, and goes upstairs.

" He'll be fine" Beth said as mia looked to her and raised an eyebrow at her

"And you. Will you be fine" Mia asked as Beth nodded

"I'm fine"

Callie's looking at Mark's hand.

"It's still swollen. I'd give it another day of rest." Callie said

" I haven't operated in three days. " mark said

" Don't hit people with your scalpel hand. Have you talked to him yet? " Callie asked

" He threw the first punch.

" Well, you did catch him at a bad time. "

" So he lost a patient. Boo- Hoo. We're surgeons. We're men. We lose patients. It doesn't give him the right to go around behaving like a drunk frat boy. And now I'm supposed to go crawling back begging for his forgiveness?" Mark said as Callie hides behind Mark as Arizona walks by.

"What, uh- what are you doing?" Karl asked

" I went all "say anything" on the peds surgeon in front of the peds surgeon's date, So now I am hiding from the peds surgeon. "

" Mature. "

" Um, you got in a fistfight. No judging. " Callie said as mia comes over.
