" You've found a 7. 5 centimeter triple-a on your 85-year-old patient. Go" Callie says to Meredith

"Get an angio, assess his pulmonary and cardiac function, and see if he's a candidate for .."

"Nope" Callie says

"Why not?" the blonde asks confused

"Because the patient's dead. You killed him. He's dead" Callie says

Madelyn frowns "She didn't kill him"

"I did a stent graft and now he's living without the threat of a rupture, which is not dead" Mer defends

"Mm. I think you should buy him flowers, 'cause he dead" Callie says

"He is not dead. I saved him the complications of an open procedure with a minimally invasive technique. He's... not dead" Mer says

"Madelyn?" Callie asks

"He's not dead. You're wrong-"

"Why are we stopping?" Meredith asks when Callie stops walking

"Because we're done"

"Because I killed him? I told you, I did not kill him"

"I know, and so do you both, even when I try to psych you out of it, which means ... You're both ready for the boards. The Torres method is inside you. So I'm gonna go home to my wife because I am sick of pushing this baby around this park ... Every morning at the crack of dawn" Callie says proudly

"And we..."

"You're free. Go do whatever it is you do" Callie dismisses

Madelyn hands out sheets of paper to the attending's in the conference room

"Excellence is not an act, but a habit, ' Aristotle." Bailey reads "Shepherd, what is Aristotle doing in our staff meeting, and why are you even in here handing these out?"

"You mean when I could be practicing medicine or studying for my boards? Yeah, I've asked myself that same question"

"Mmm. Mmm. This is delicious. When did hunt bump up the donut budget?" Arizona says tucking into a donut

Mark speaks up "As chief, I'm a firm believer that a nice variety of baked goods is the right way to start any meeting"

"As chief?"

"What are you talking about?"

Seriously?"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait. What happened?" Derek asks

"Okay, calm down, everyone. Dr. Hunt and Dr. Yang are down with the flu. I'll be acting chief in Dr. Hunt's absence. Could be a day. Could be a week. What do we got for today?" Mark says
