Surgeons are control freaks. With a scalpel in your hand, you feel unstoppable. There's no fear, there's no pain. You're 10 feet tall and bulletproof. And then you leave the O.R. All that perfection, that beautiful control, just falls to crap.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Meredith: Don't!
Derek: Sorry.
Meredith: Don't be sorry. I'm so tired it, you being sorry.
Derek: Dr...
Meredith: Don't do it!
Derek: Dr. Grey ...
Meredith: Dr. Grey, seriously. Are you concerned about Alex finding out about us? Is that what matters to you? Do you really think he cares? (Meredith turns to Alex) Alex do you care that I was the intern stupid enough to screw the married attending?
Alex: No.
Derek: It's okay.
Meredith: It' s not okay! You have a wife who's not easy to hate. Who' s annoyingly kind and painfully smart and currently saving my friend' s life.
Derek: Meredith just...
Meredith: Don't! Stop talking to me like you're my boyfriend! Stop talking to me at all.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Derek: Meredith?
Meredith: Oh.
Derek: Meredith.
Meredith: Don't. ... Please, please just don't say anything.
Derek: Okay.
Meredith: I'm just exhausted. My mother is exhausting. What happened to Christina and you. Hating you is the most exhausting. (She grabs his face and kisses him) I don't want to do it anymore.

Nobody likes to lose control, but as a surgeon there's nothing worse. It's a sign of weakness, of not being up to the task. Still there are times when it just gets away from you, when the world stops spinning, when you realize your shiny little scalpel isn't gonna save you. No matter how hard you fight it, you fall. It's scary as hell. Except there's an upside to the free fall. It's the chance you give your friends to catch you.
