Knight who played Dr. George O'Malley who got into an accident during the episode and dies in the season 6 premier. In the episode Cristina Yang (Sandra Oh), Alex Karev (Justin Chambers), George O'Malley (T.R. Knight), and Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo) are all sleeping and waiting for Izzie Stevens (Katherine Heigl) to wake up after the surgery. Derek Shepherd (Patrick Dempsey) comes up with an alternative treatment plan for Izzie, Miranda Bailey (Chandra Wilson) confronts Chief's Richard Webber (James Pickens Jr.) and Arizona Robbins (Jessica Capshaw), about the peds fellowship program. Yang deals with her relationship with Owen Hunt (Kevin McKidd) who helps George with career advice. The episode also focuses Meredith and Derek's post-it wedding. ==Plot== Cristina is still deliberating reconciling her relationship with Owen, however has not completely forgiven him. Owen stops to tell her how well his therapy is going and how much progress is being made, but Cristina cuts him off by asking if he's told her about not visiting his mother even though she lives only a few miles away. Derek has formed a plan to remove Izzie's brain tumor, but it will require removing a part of her brain, which could leave her without any memory. Izzie tries to get the others to decide, but they only offer to support her no matter what. However, they later decided to find out more information from outside sources. To see the worst possible outcome of the surgery, the doctors agree to run a test. Not only can Izzie not remember the cards, she also can't remember who anybody is or even how to speak. This terrifies Meredith, who tells Izzie that she cannot possibly have the surgery. Izzie eventually decides to have the surgery, but signs a DNR to avoid becoming a vegetable. Alex predictably panics about the idea of living without Izzie. A young army vet comes to Owen and, by extension, George and Callie to help him with his leg. Nobody can figure out what's wrong with his leg and thus can't fix it, he just wants it cut off so he can get a prosthetic leg and go back to war. Owen is ready to do it, but Callie is totally against cutting off a perfectly healthy leg. Cristina sees Owen hug George and asks what's wrong. Owen tells her that George has an announcement that's his own to make, but that Owen is ecstatic that he actually slept without any nightmares. The Chief calls Bailey into his office with Arizona to tell her that she's received the Pediatric Fellowship. Rather than being excited, Bailey looks like she's about to cry and walks away. Bailey tells Arizona and the Chief that her husband gave her an ultimatum the night before - if she takes the fellowship, he's divorcing her. She plans on leaving him, because there is no place for ultimatums in a marriage, but doesn't think she can do the fellowship as a single mother. Instead, she's decided to stay in General Surgery and maybe become the Attending. Meredith and Derek have decided not to wait any longer to get married and just go to City Hall that evening, but later realize that there's just no time. Instead, Derek writes their vows down on a post-it note that they both sign and then stick in their locker. Meanwhile, a man is brought in who pushed a woman out of the way of a bus and was subsequently ran over by the bus and dragged half a block. The girl he saved keeps checking on him and calling him "her hero" and "Prince Charming" and similar names. Every time Meredith is talking to him, he tries to trace letters in her hands. She hands him a pen and paper, but he's too weak to hold the pen and passes out. Finally, she follows what he's writing - "O" "O" "7", or 007, George's nickname since his initial horrible surgery in season one. Meredith realizes that patient is George. She runs to tell the other doctors and they rush him into surgery to save him, but he dies on the table. Izzie survived the surgery. When Derek examines her, she seems to have retained her memory and is in good health. She's super excited when Derek tells her that he got the entire tumor, but five minutes later asks how the surgery went. It quickly becomes apparent that she has no short term memory at all. Alex gets obsessed and starts drilling her to improve her memory, but it doesn't seem to work. Twenty minutes later, when Yang comes into check Izzie's stats, she vents to Yang about the things Alex says. It takes them a few minutes, but they realize that Izzie's memory is back. Alex comes rushing in and hugs Izzi and everyone's happy and then Izzie flatlines. Alex tries to do CPR and save her while everyone else tries to remind him of the DNR, but he doesn't listen. Finally the Chief says screw it and calls for the defibrillator. While they're trying to restart Izzie's heart, she has a vision of getting into the elevator again with her "prom dress" on. When the elevators open, it's not Denny waiting, but George in an Army uniform. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Now or Never (Grey's Anatomy)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
