[ season 3 episode 5 ]
"She's losing it. She almost battered and deep fried an 8 million dollar cheque this morning." Meredith complained about Izzie's money from Denny. "Atleast I cashed mine in straight away. The 15 million was just staring at me." Holly says faking a shudder down her spine.
"That kind of money, I'd buy my own hospital and stock it full of sick people. Vavuloplasties and ruptured aneruisms. Hmmm." Cristina said making George look at her funny "Your a phyco you know that right?" George asked Cristina who only nodded.
"Stop discussing me and my 8 1/2 million dollar cheque I won't cash." Izzie said looking at the group. "Why don't you discuss Meredith's problems or the fact Holly didn't come home last night." Izzie pointing fingers at the other two blondes.
"I was at my father's house. Bonding." Holly said opening her locker. "And I still haven't told McDreamy about McVet." Meredith said following Holly's actions.
"You still haven't done that."
"Dude, tell him already."

"O'Malley, Webstone. Am I keeping you? M&M in ten minutes people!" Bailey ordered as Holly was trying to ring Mark who was still asleep in his hotel room. And George was ringing Callie, what he didn't know is that Callie was in bed with Holly's brother.
"We're going to a M&M?" Holly asked turning her focus away from the phone call that was yet to be answered. "Why yes, good morning to you too." Mark said sarcastically through the phone.
"Well you told me to meet you in the morning and then you don't show up. So I'm guessing a fun night?" Holly said everyone turned to her confused on whether they were talking to them or the person on the other side of the phone. "Not you guys." Holly said smiling at them.
"Well, my best friend forgot to tell me to set my alarm." Mark said as Holly could hear him rushing to get dressed. "Is that all your best friend is good for?" Holly asked rolling her eyes whole trying to keep up with the rest of the interns.
"I was going to ask you to get me a cappuccino cause that's what best friends do." Mark said praying that she would get him one. "Sorry I've got a M&M to attend to. Oh is that Doctor Bailey calling me. Looks like I've got to go. No time for cappuccinos." Holly hung up the phone smiling.
"George, Alex get good seats. Me, Holly and Mer will get snacks." Cristina ordered as Holly pulled a lollipop out of her pocket and unwrapped it only for it to be stole by Cristina. "That's my lollipop!" Holly said as Cristina sucked on. "Mine now." Cristina said smiling.
×××
"You know what? My dad is kinda cool. Yeah he abandoned me but like he's a good guy. I think?" Holly rambled to Alex as they waited for the M&M to start. She pulled out two lollipops from her pocket. "Lollipop?" She asked as Alex slowly stuck his hand out for the lollipop.
"Why are you being nice to me?" Alex asked as Holly looked at him confused. "Well you know, new me, new dad." Holly said shrugging as Mark walked down the steps to look at her. "Where's my cappuccino?" He asked her
"Told you I was busy." Holly said sucking on her lollipop. "Lollipop?" She offered pulling another out of her pocket. He angrily took the lollipop but smiled at her and walked away.
"Dude. Are you sleeping with Sloan?" Alex asked looking at her making Cristina also look at her. "Sunshine!"
Holly rolled her eyes and blow out air making her hair fall over her eyes. "No I am not. I am not sleeping with him." Holly said calmly.
"Okay people, let's begin. Patient #34986 died last month from complications following a heart transplant. Dr Burke will present." Cheif Webber said as Burke started to walk up the stairs.
Holly sunk into her seat as George squeezed her hand. "Guys, isnt patient #35986..." Alex started his sentence but Meredith finishes it for her. "Denny.."
"My $15 million could get us far far away." Holly whispered to George. "$8 million could get us on a plane far away, somewhere very far away." Cristina said.
"Cause of death was an embolus that dislodged from the suture line and caused a CVA with brain stem herniation." Burke explained as people started to raise their hands.
"So the company line is he died from a CVA" A doctor asked to which Burke shook his head. "There is no company line. That's how he died."
"Let's get back to this patients need for an emergent transplant. You're saying the patients left ventricle had been weakened by the LVAD malfunction." Another doctor asked.
"George, join me in my happy place." Holly said sinking further into her chair, if she wasn't careful she'd soon be on the floor.
"His left ventricle was weakened by the fact that he had congestive heart failure." Burke said.
"Please Doctor Burke. We all know that the LVAD was cut by an intern." A doctor, named Doctor Savoy, said. "The events remain unclear." Burke stated.
"Holly, I'm coming to your happy place." George said grabbing Holly's hand and slowly sinking into his chair.
"It's unclear because you and an intern were in the ER with gunshot wounds. Why aren't we hearing from Doctor Bailey? She was the senior physician on the case." Doctor Savoy said making Bailey step up and Mark look towards Holly who was close to being sat on the floor. He gave her a short smile even if she couldn't see him. But Cristina did.
"Sunshine. Sloan's smiling at you." Cristina said making Holly roll her eyes at Cristina but made her get up and smile at him before sinking back into her seat.
"Doctor Burke has summarised the medical facts of this case. Are there any questions for me?" Bailey said making almost every hand in the room go up. "Oh God." Holly quietly muttered to herself.
"You recently had a baby didn't you, Doctor Bailey?" The same doctor from before asked. Making Holly roll her eyes. "What a dick move." Holly whispered a bit too loudly making many people look at her as she put on a forced smile.
"I don't see what that has to do with.." Bailey was quickly interrupted by the other physician. "Sleep deprivation coupled with wild swings in hormone levels are factors that could cloud anyone's judgement."
"I sleep just fine, Doctor Savoy." Bailey sassed making Holly smile. "Really? Cause if a patient died due to my poor decision making, I'd lose a little sleep over it." Doctor Savoy said making Holly's smile instantly turn to an eye roll.
"Might I remind you all that you are here not to pass blame but a forum to discuss mistakes in patients care and learn from them." The cheif spoke to the whole crowd of doctors. "Well so far I haven't heard Doctor Bailey admit to a mistake."
"This is torture." Holly said making them all agree with her. "Why not just put a bullet in the back of her head?" Cristina asked.
"It would be more humane." Meredith said in agreement with Cristina.
"So for a period of several hours, you had one intern with a GSW and the others were running amuck in the hospital unsupervised."
"What a way to remind a girl they got shot." Holly said sarcastically. "I'm waiting for a question." Bailey said beginning to hey impatient with the Male doctor.
"The question is where were you?" Doctor Savoy asked.
"I was in the ER, there was a shooting I was taking care of one of the victims. And it was quite chaotic." Bailey said making most doctors look at Holly. "What?" She asked with raised eyebrows. They quickly turned back around to Bailey as Holly left out a huff.
"George, happy place isn't working, I'd need tequila for it to work." Holly said turning to George who could only smile.
"The ER is always chaotic. Did you page them during this time?" He asked making Bailey want to roll her eyes but she didn't. "Yes, I paged them several times."
"So apparently, they thought it was okay to ignore your pages. Doctor why do you think your interns have so much contempt for your authority." He said making Alex quickly take his hand out of Holly's and standing up.
"You don't know what the hell you're talking about!" Alex snapped making everyone look at him Holly quickly grabbed his hand rubbing circles on his hand to calm him down. He looked into her eyes and sat down.
"Atleast someone snapped at him." Holly said making her fellow interns smile. Once he sits down they see Izzie stood at the door way. "Izzie.." George said quietly.
"Next question." Bailey said brining focus back to the Denny situation.
"Why were your interns so close to this patient. One in particular. Doctor Webstone." A Doctor asked making Holly put her head down as the doctors turned their focus to Holly. Mark didn't turn around to her as he knew better.
"Happy place. Happy place." Holly muttered, "Happy place isn't working."
"Well Doctor Webstone knew Den-. Doctor Webstone knew the patient prior to his visit to the hospital." Bailey explained for the girl.
"Like dating? Or.." The doctor said making Holly almost choke "That's a funny joke." Holly said quietly not wanting everyone to look at her again. Cristina smiled at her humour in this situation even if it wasn't fun.
"No, not dating they had known each other in childhood." Bailey explained further as the doctor nodded. "So did you ever put Doctor Webstone on the patients case?" The Doctor asked making Bailey shake her head. "She was on scut both times the patient had visited the hospital."
"Should Webstone even had been working so soon after her sisters death?" The Doctor asked making Holly angry, that a physician would even bring that up. "Not cool." Holly muttered.
"I don't think that relates to the case." Bailey said as the other doctor pushed on. "But Doctor Webstone was with Doctor Burke to retrieve the patients heart, care to explain?"
Holly stood up making everyone look at her before she realised she didn't know what to say. So she sat back down. Then stood back up knowing what to say. "You don't get to bring my sister up in a M&M. That's none of your business. If you're questioning the fact I was back at work two weeks after her death then you should be questioning Chief Webber, not Doctor Bailey." Holly looked at Mark who only nodded and smiled.
"And Doctor Savoy, just some advice. Don't question a woman and let only don't question Doctor Bailey on the fact she had a baby. It's something you couldn't do." Holly said picking up her lab coat and leaving.
"Next case." Bailey suggested quickly wanting to get off of Denny's case. Cristina and Meredith both looked at each other not sure which one should chase after Holly. "You or me?" Cristina whispered as Cristina pulled out a penny. Mark beat them both by quickly excusing himself from the M&M.

"Hol." Mark said walking up to Holly who sat on a gurney with red eyes, clearly showing she'd just been crying. He sat next to her and put his hand on her back and moved in circular motions. "What's up." Mark said wanting to console his best friend.
"Just that people die. And you can't prevent it." Holly said sadly reflecting on the family members she's lost. "Well I'm not dying any time soon, so you're stuck with me I'm afraid." Mark said making her smile and elbow him in the stomach.
"Great." She said sarcastically rolling her eyes. "You know you love me." Mark said happily.
"Yeah, yeah." Holly said leaning into Mark's arm. "Please tell me I'm not on your service." Holly said making Mark make a fake hurt face.
"Well it's your lucky day." Mark said making Holly groan. "Not more boob jobs!" Holly said making Mark laugh. If it was another intern he'd give the whole 'It's not just boob jobs and lip fillers' talk but he knew Holly already knew that after he already gave her that talk. "Yeah but..." Mark was going to start speaking when Holly interrupted him to finish he speech.
"There's more to plastics than boobs." Holly said making Mark smile at the girl. "Oh I've taught you well."
×××
"Holly Webstone." Two voices said from behind Holly. She slowly turned around to be faces with two of the faces that had been on her 'Avoid' list. "Oh newly found father and Doctor Bailey." Holly said with a forced smile.
"I just wanted to say what a nice speech you made in there. Very empowering." Bailey said making Holly rub her neck. "Took some balls to stand up there. You must've been raised well." The British man said making Holly laugh but making Bailey glare at him.
"That is not what we agreed to say!" Bailey said smacking his arm. "What! I wasn't going to tell my daughter off for something cool!" Daniel said with pride. Holly smiled at her dad. "See he gets it." Holly said smiling and walking off.
"Oh do I have a present for you." Mark said finding Holly walking away from her dad and Bailey. "The only time I pray for a burn victim." Holly said hopeful. "We could have a mastectomy on our hands." Mark said joyfully. "Wait, that's kinda cool."
"Well what are you waiting for!" Holly said to the man who just stood still. "Let's get going!"
×××
"If you go ahead with the mastectomy, there are several reconstructive options. Saline implants are used more often. But silicone has a more natural look and feel." Mark explained to the patient as Holly stood and looked through the chart. "I can't deal with this right now." Mrs Niles said shaking her head.
"Diana, come on.. it'll take two seconds huh?" Mr Niles said trying to persuade his wife. "You're the one who has to feel them so you decide."
"I don't care." Mr Niles said making Holly look up. "Oh trust me, you'll care." Holly said making Bailey look at her. "Thin ice." Bailey said turning to her intern as Mark stood smiling in amusement. "She's right, you'll care."
They fist bumped making Bailey scoff and leave the room. "It's cause I'm her favourite." Holly said smiling as Mark looked scared of Bailey. "Ahh Mark Sloans scared of the big bad Bailey." Holly said squeezing his cheeks which Mark instantly rejected. Even though he liked how it felt when she touched him, he refused to be scared by Bailey.
"I am not scared."

"I slept with someone else. Do I tell George?" Callie asked walijg up to Holly who was quickly eating an apple.
"Hi Holly, hows your day, yeah good." Holly said turning to Callie. "I'm his best friend! What am I supposed to do here." Holly said pointing inbetween her and Callie. "Who was it?" Holly asked Callie.
"Were they hot?" Holly asked as Callie rolled her eyes but then decided to spill the details. "Oh so hot! And so good!"
"What's their name? Might have to ring them up, it's been a while. I haven't had sex since well, since I was banned from having grief sex." Holly rambled as Callie looked at her with raised eyebrows. "Long story."
"Cal. And he was so-" Callie said making Holly choke on her apple piece and make Callie look at her confused. Holly quickly got over her coughing fit and looked at Callie. "You slept with my brother." Holly said making Callie gasp and cover her mouth.
"Oh no." Callie said. "Hmm, I feel traumatised." Holly said walking away.
×××
"Denny left me 8 and a halve million. Did you know he had that kind of money. I mean who am I kidding you got 15 million." Izzie rambled to Holly as Holly just eyed Izzie.
"I mean we could go traveling. Italy I heard it's beautiful." Izzie said realising Holly was just staring at her.
"No offence, but I can pay for my own trip to Italy, with people I actually like." Holly said with a fake smile to Izzie.
"Okay well I mean I take total offence! Like why not come travelling with me! I'm cool down with the people! I use emojis!" Izzie said as Holly started walking away.
"Two reasons! All the things you just said, and because you're a reminder of Denny."
×××
"Why have you brought me to see." Holly made hand gestures to the couple who were trapped together doing whatever they were doing. "Entertainment. Here." Mark said passing her a cereal bar.
"Why does everyone have to feed me." Holly complained but continued to eat the bar.
"Cause you skipped lunch and then Callie told me the only thing she saw you eat today was an apple. So eat." Mark said as they watched the couple argue while on top of each other.
"Watching this, is off putting to my food, and I love food." Holly said throwing the bar in the bin. "Hole in one!" Holly shouted as it went straight in the bin.
"Wrong game" Mark whispered as the Chief looked at them.
"Don't you two have nothing better to do?" The chief asked as Mark shrugged his shoulders.
"I'm sure theres a liposuction somewhere." Holly said dragging Mark out of the room.
×××
"You were with Addison two months after?" Holly asked Mark after forcing him into a linen cupboard. "How is this going to help your besties with Derek plan!" Holly shouted at Mark.
"I thought we were going to do something else in this cupboard, sort of disappointing." Mark said sarcastically as Holly walked up to him and stared to hit him realising she was extremely serious.
"Okay! Okay!" Mark said peeling the girl off of him. "I told Addison not to tell him!" Mark said making roll her eyes. "That would've been even worse!" Holly said hitting his arm again.
"I just want to be his friend, I miss him." Mark said sadly as Holly tilted her head. "I know you do, I know you don't want to fight him. So what do you do?" Holly asked as Mark makes a confused face.
"What?"
"You annoy him till he becomes your friend again." Holly said smiling.
"So you go out there, give him a heart felt confession! And once that doesn't work because I know it work. You bring in the annoying Mark Sloan who just wants his best mate."
