Episode 2.05: Bring The Pain
Airdate: October 23, 2005

Meredith and Dr. Shepherd have to use more than medicine when a young woman’s traditionalist, religious father forbids her to have a life-saving operation. Its decision time for Derek and the two women in his life.

Lightning knocks out the power to the hospital, which leaves Alex and George stuck in an elevator with a patient — a police officer with a gunshot wound. The blackout also causes Cristina’s patient, a man with a herniated disk, to lose access to his pain “medication,” i.e., porn videos. Meanwhile, Ellis, who’s about to be discharged, keeps reliving her affair with Richard; and Meredith, who’s assigned to work with Shepherd, gives him an ultimatum.

Cristina is back to work even if she just got discharged. Izzie is not talking to Alex anymore. Izzie presents the case of Verna Bradley, who came to the hospital with signs of heart attack. Cristina takes care of Henry Lamott who was admitted for a spinal implant to control pain and who’s watching porn in his hospital room (his wife is also there). Derek and Meredith treat a patient who has a tumor in her spinal canal, which will lead to paralysis if not taken care of. What will happen when the parents say no surgery? George and Alex get stuck in an elevator with a heart patient and will have to perform the surgery themselves, with the help of Burke who will talk them through it.

Guest starring are Kate Walsh as Addison, Mimi Kennedy (“Dharma & Greg”) as Verna Bradley, Francois Chao as Mr. Chue, Brent Briscoe as Henry Lamott, Michelle Krusiec as Anna Chue, Daniel Bess as Pete Willoughby, Steven W. Bailey as Joe and Kate Burton as Ellis Grey.
