"That's the dumbest idea ever," Cassie's pretty sure George thinks she's willing to do anything.

He sighed at her, "We got to do it. For Iz." She sat up from her lying position on George's bed. She pulled her camisole up for fear of showing her boobs to George. Strands of her hair from her loose ponytail fall in front of her face.

"Why would you think I'd do that?" She squints her eyes at George, is he oblivious or just dumb? "After the way she's treated me?"

George stood up from where he was sitting across from her, "Then, I don't know. If you aren't going to do it for Izzie, then—then do it for me. Please...Cassie." 

Her eyes roll. "Why do you care to do that for Izzie?" She feels dumb for asking it, she already knows the true answer. Because he's George.

"Look," he sits back down in the same spot on the bed, "I know you and Izzie don't have the-the best relationship." She scoffs. He nods because he knows. "But please." She's kind of intimidated by his eye contact. It feels weird to think that George could actually intimidate someone. "Do it for me because if you were Izzie"—she gives him a look, he holds his hands up in response— "and I'm not saying you are, but if you were in a situation like Izzie's, I would be having the same conversation with her. Okay?"

Things are getting a little too serious for Cassie's liking, she nods. "But you like me more." She smiles, he cracks one too.

"I mean...I don't know are you doing it?" He asks her.

She raises her eyebrows at him, "Only if you say I'm a better friend then her."

"Okay." He says.

"Say it."

"You're a better friend than her."

"Okay," she pauses, "I'll do it."

The air is cold in the Chief's office. Too cold. Like it's so cold that goosebumps climb her arms and her teeth are almost chattering. Then again she has cold blood and she's beyond nervous right now. This was so dumb. She couldn't breathe. Why was she doing this for Izzie? Why?

Izzie speaks up first, "I cut the LVAD wire."

Meredith follows, "Actually...I cut the LVAD wire."

George goes, "No, I did it. I'm the one who cut the wire."

It's Cassie's turn, she can't help be ripe the joke. She has to. So, she does, "No, I am Spartacus." She hears a laugh to her right, Cristina. She thinks she hears Alex too, but she kind of forgets what his laugh sounds like nowadays. She thinks it's him, he would laugh at it, Alex would say it. George nudges her with his elbow, "Um, it was me who did it."
