Derek is talking to Addison as he wraps the earphones around his iPod and places it in the pocket of his lab coat. When he stands up, the earphones are around his neck and the iPod is clipped to his waistband.

Quotes
Dr. Meredith Grey: There's an old proverb that says you can't choose your family. You take what the fates hand you. And like them or not, love them or not, understand them or not, you cope. Then there's the school of thought that says the family you're born into is simply a starting point. They feed you, and clothe you, and take care of you, until you're ready to go out into the world and find your tribe.

Burke is so sweet and domestic, and Cristina does not appreciate it at all.... in this episode she's even insulting him, making a fool of him in his OR. It's a shame, really... he should be with someone who can aporeciate what a great boyfriend he is. But then again; their differences is one of the things that makes them so great to watch. Like oil and water.

Great episode, great cases. Really good acting all over. Chandra Wilson is doing a fine job being over worked and tired as a pregnant Miranda.

The interns are forming a great bond, it's sweet.

I feel bad for Addison, she is really trying to fix things. Yet, the chemistry between Meredith and Derek is so strong and undeniable.
