Full Summary
Secrets can't hide in silence. Medicine has a way of exposing the lies. Within the walls of the hospital, the truth is stripped bare. How we keep our secrets outside the hospital, well, thats a little diiferent.
George is sitting on the edge of the bath naked, reading a book about rashes when Izzie knock, telling him to hurry up. She asks what hes doing but when he replies that it is private, she laughs and says she'll wait.In her room, Meredith quietly talks to a nurse at her mothers nursing home but hangs up as Derek turns around in his sleep and wakes up. George emerges from the bathroom and Izzie tells him there is no need to be ashamed (presuming he was masturbating). Meredith walks out wondering why they are arguing and Izzie explains she caught George playing with Jimmy and the twins. They all walk away and Derek emerges with his ringing phone but he ignores it.
Thats the problem with secrets, like misery, they love company.
Cristina talks to a doctor about her scheduled abortion on the 16th but hangs up as Burke comes around the corner.
They pile up and up until they take over everything.
Burke asks her why she didn't answer her page the previous night and she considers telling him about the pregnancy but walks off instead. The chief walks past her, swaying slightly and rubbing his head. George talks quietly to Olivia in a corner as the chief passes asking if she feels ok. He starts to tell her he feels a bit itchy but Izzie interupts. George and Oloivia leave and Izzie realises that George wan't playing with Jimmy and the twins. She looks confused, wondering what he was doing. George talks to Alex in the locker room and asks him to inspect his rash because he can't get close enough to be sure what it is. Alex kneels down, inspects his penis, pats him on the shopulder, tells him its syphilis and walks off.
Burke, Alex and George treat a patient snaking a camera up his mojo. Bill is a friend of Burke's and Burke tells them only to worry about the baby in her uterus. They finish up and schedule a CT. In another OR, Meredith looks up worriedly at Derek in the gallery while she helps the chief and Bailey. Miranda and Meredith look worriedly at Webber as he compains about the lighting but they continue with the surgery. Cristina and Izzie look at a patient with an abnormally large abdomen and he explains it has been growing for a while.
George asks for the bloodwork of George O'Malley and Izzie plucks it out of his hands asking who has syphilis and if it isn't surgical why does he have the bloodwork. He pulls her into a room and draws the shades. Izzie makes fun of George but tries to calm him saying a few doses of penicillen will get rid of it. In surgery, the chief drops a surgical instrument and blinks rapidly. He steps back and allows Bailey to finish.
After getting the CT results and discussing George's penis, Alex and George leave to get Burke. Cristina and Izzie walk into Franklin's room and tells him he has ascites. He and his wife look worried but their daughter looks dis-interested, saying it is beacause he drinks a lot. While looking at the results, Alex and Burke debate over what something looks like and Alex jokes that it looks like an ovary. When George walks in and hands Burke other results, he is surprised to learn that it is an ovary. Cristina and Izzie update Bailey on Mr.Franklin, after testing them, she tells them they can do a paracentesis. As she walks off, Cristina and Izzie celebrate.
Alex and George walk down a flight of stairs, George and Olovia kiss and after a moment or so of being ignored, Alex leaves. As they kiss, George breaks apart and as he starts to talk to her she worriedly ask if he is breaking up. He insists that he isn't. After an awkward few minutes of trying to tel her, he eventually blurts out that he has syphilis. Shocked, she walks away quickly.
Derek walks into the chiefs office and asks him to explain his behaviour. The chief says that a few weeks ago he was operating and the vision in his right eye became blurry. After a few hours, it was fine but the problem came back again. He lets Derek run some tests but insists that he keeps them secret. Alex and walk oudoors withn their trays, past Olivia's table who is apparently ignoring George. They sit down with Cristina Izzie and Meredith, George is shocked to discover that all three of them know about his syphilis but Alex convinces him trhat all the women will think he is a "player" now.
Burke enters Bill's room and explains that the mass was not a tumour but an ovary. Initially Bill is shocked but Burke tells him they can remove it and it won't make a difference to anything, he is still a man. In another room, George is bent over a gurney while Alex prepares to give him some penicillen. Meredith complains that Alex is doing it wrong so he hands the needle to Meredith and leaves. Izzie and Cristina quickly follow and after Meredith is finished, George leaves angrily.
