"VIOLETTE!" DEREK CALLED OUT for her after he finished speaking to Katie Bryce's parents.

She turned around and saw he had something in his hand.

"Don't forget them again." He said with a more stern tone as he passed her the anxiety medication she had forgotten.

"Thank you." She smiled and quickly went to take them as she couldn't bare the way she was feeling currently.

The next day, Derek called a meeting for all the interns about Katie Bryce.

"Does anybody know why we're in here?" Cristina asked the interns who were next to her but they all just responded with a shrug.

"Well good morning. I'm going to do something pretty rare for a surgeon." Derek walked into the room and begun his speech. "I've got this kid, Katie Bryce. Right now, she's a mystery. She doesn't respond to her meds. Labs are cleans, scans are pure, but she's having seizures. Grand mal seizures with no visible cause." Derek continued.

During some of the speech, Meredith and Violette shared a few glances knowing that this was their patient.

"So I'm going to give you an incentive." Everyone's eyes suddenly lit up. "Whoever finds the answer rides with me. Katie needs surgery. You get to do what no interns get to do. Scrub in to assist on an advanced procedure."

"This is awesome." Cristina whispered to Meredith beside her but all Violette could think of was, if she gets picked, what if they find out and call it favouritism?

The three girls all sat in the library discussing what could have happened to Katie. Well, partially.

"So are you seriously not going to tell me why you won't work with Shepherd?" Cristina curiously asked Meredith who was sat beside her flipping through books.

"No. What about infection."

"No. Theres no white count, she has no cereal lesions, no fevers, nothing in her spinal tap, just tell me."

All of a sudden, Violette had a light bulb moment.

"You can't comment, make a face, or react in anyway. We had sex." Meredith told Cristina quietly.

As shocked as Violette was, she thinks she had Katie figured out.

"Oh my god." She said before running out of the library. Cristina and Meredith look at eachother before quickly following behind.

"Doctor Shepherd!" Violette called out to her brother whose elevator was about to close.

"Vi- yes?"

"Katie compete in beauty pageants." Violette began breathlessly.

"I know that. We still have to save her life." Derek joked. Nor he or the other two girls could see where she was going with this.

"Yes. But she has no headaches, no neck pain, her CT's clean, there's no medical proof of an aneurysm."

Derek nodded.

"But what if she has an aneurysm anyway?"

"There are no indicators." He responded, still not quite following.
