Season: 5    Episode: 18    First Aired: 3/19/2009    Prod Code: 518



After his fellow surgeons try and fail to bring Derek back to work, Meredith must summon the strength to convince him. Meanwhile the hospital is abuzz as Mark attempts a rare face transplant surgery. Cristina, at last awarded her first solo surgery, is more focused on the needs of her friends, and Izzie does her best to keep her medical condition a secret.

The dust has barely settled from last night’s emotional roller coaster, but a sneak preview of next week’s Grey’s Anatomy episode, “Stand By Me,” is already making the rounds.

Below, a reluctant Cristina and an ailing Izzie debate the next course of action for the latter’s treatment, and Izzie seems to fully grasp what she’s up against for the first time.
