"Huh?" Cristina questions

Florence beams at her "My clinical trial. My baby, all grown up"

"You know, nobody cares about your clinical trial or your sick, sick, terminal patients, who'd probably rather be left for dead" Izzie says bitterly

"Well, yeah" the blonde replies

"My hopes are not up" Florence replies

Derek nods "All right, then. Let's do this"

"Florence Shepherd" Addison beams "My gosh you have grown so much, come here, you" the redhead says inviting the younger woman for a hug

"Hi Addie" Florence replies embracing the woman "How's L. A.?" she asks the redhead
