INT. FINN?S APARTMENT
Meredith sits at the kitchen table across from Finn. They eat quietly.
������������������������ FINN
��������� Do you like the food?
������������������������ MEREDITH
It?s good. But you really don?t have to cook for me. Seriously.
�������������� FINN
It?s okay. I like to cook. I especially like to cook for you.
�������������� MEREDITH
I have to tell you something.
�������������� FINN
Is it about you being scary and damaged?
�������������� MEREDITH
Yes.
Finn puts his fork down on the table and brings a napkin up to wipe his face.
�������������� FINN
Okay. I?m all ears.
�������������� MEREDITH
Well, I wasn?t completely upfront about me and Derek when you asked about us.
Meredith puts her fork down.
�������������� FINN
Ok.
�������������� MEREDITH
We used to kind of sort of date.
�������������� FINN
Before he was married?
�������������� MEREDITH
No.
�������������� FINN
While he was married?
Meredith picks up her napkin and winds, then unwinds it between her fingers.
��������������
MEREDITH
Yes, but it was before I knew. I met him at a bar, then one thing lead to another? Anyway, two months in to us dating, Addison shows up to inform me that he is in fact married.
�������������� FINN
That sounds pretty harsh.
�������������� MEREDITH
It was.
�������������� FINN
So is this the need for celibacy?
�������������� MEREDITH
Part of it.
Meredith puts the napkin down, stopping her nervous motion for a moment before pick
�������������� FINN
The other part?
���������������������������������
�������������� MEREDITH
I was in love with Derek. So I did some stuff. Stupid stuff. A lot of stupid stuff with a lot of different guys trying to get over him and fix myself. And then I broke George.
�������������� FINN
You broke George?
�������������� MEREDITH
Not in the physical sense, but that?s another story for another time. I can only stand so much sharing at one time.
�������������� FINN
All right.
�������������� MEREDITH
I slept with Derek at prom.
Meredith put the napkin down and didn?t pick it back up.
�������������� FINN
You slept with him? Even though you knew he was married? And you?re dating me?
�������������� MEREDITH
I regret it on many different levels. The top level is because I hurt you.
�������������� FINN
Meredith? You need to figure out what you want. What you think you deserve.
�������������� MEREDITH
Are you mad?
�������������� FINN
A little hurt, a little angry. But I heard about it from you, which is a good thing. So what do you want to do about it?
�������������� MEREDITH
I want to stay with you.
�������������� FINN
Okay then.
�������������� MEREDITH
Why are you taking this so well?
�������������� FINN
Meredith, we aren?t official. We haven?t made any rules about us yet. Right now, we?re just testing out the waters.
�������������� MEREDITH
All right.
Finn picks up a glass of water and takes a swallow, then puts the glass back down.
�������������� FINN
I still have plans for the two of us. But you need to let me know if you want to be apart of those plans or if you want to have an affair with a married man.
������������������������ MEREDITH
I want to find out what your plans are. Absolutely.
�������������� FINN
Good, then we should make rules for us.
�������������� MEREDITH
Okay. Like no seeing other people?
�������������� FINN
Exactly.
�������������� MEREDITH
I can do that.
The elevator scene flashing into her mind.
������������������������ FINN
��������� Good.
������������������������ MEREDITH
��������� Good. I should go home. Izzy?
������������������� ���� FINN
��������� Still needs you.
������������������������ MEREDITH
��������� Yes.
Meredith and Finn stand up and Finn gets Meredith?s jacket for her.
������������������������ FINN
Meredith? I am glad that you told me. At least you value our relationship that much.
�������������� MEREDITH
I do value you it. A lot.Good-bye Finn.
Finn opens the door for Meredith.
������������������������ FINN
��������� Good-bye, Meredith.
Finn kisses Meredith gently on the cheek before closing the door.
INT. MEREDITH?S HOUSE ? GEORGE?S ROOM
Callie sits on George?s bed and George paces the room in front of her.
������������������������ GEORGE
I figured something out today. In my session with Ripley.
������������������������ CALLIE
��������� Ok.
������������������������ GEORGE
I realized that I didn?t say I love you not because I?m not ready, but because you are filling a void. A void left by Meredith.
������������������������ CALLIE
��������� George, she hurt you.
������������������������ GEORGE
I know that Callie. And then I met you. Who saw me for the first time.Really saw me. I wasn?t Bambi or the weak guy. I was the guy who performed heart surgery in an elevator.
George stops his pacing and puts a hand on Callie?s cheek, looking into her eyes.
������������������������ GEORGE
But Callie, I want us to have a real chance. But I don?t know if I can feel that way about you. I don?t know yet.
���������
������������������������ CALLIE
Geez George. I just? I love you George.
�������������� GEORGE
Callie, I know. And it?s something that I?m working on. It?s not something that you can fix. I think you should leave Callie. I need to think about us.
�������������� CALLIE
But George?
�������������� GEORGE
Go Callie.
�������������� CALLIE
Can we talk more?
�������������� GEORGE
Later. Just go. For now.
Callie leaves the room, leaving the door open. George sits down on his bed and looks at his hands. Ripley knocks lightly on the door.
������������������������ RIPLEY
��������� Knock, knock.
������������������������ GEORGE
��������� Hey Ripley.
������������������������ RIPLEY
��������� Did Callie leave?
������������������������ GEORGE
��������� Yes.
������������������������ RIPLEY
Izzy and I are going to put a movie in if you want to come hang out.
�������������� GEORGE
Sure.
�������������� RIPLEY
George?
�������������� GEORGE
Yes?
�������������� RIPLEY
Is everything ok?
�������������� GEORGE
��������� Yeah, I?m fine. Everything is fine.
George smiles, then gets up.
INT. TRAILER
Derek and Addison get ready for bed.
������������������������ DEREK
What do you mean you didn?t know that Mark was here?
Addison sits down on the bed, facing the wall.
������������������������ ADDISON
I didn?t know Derek! What do you want me to say?
Derek pulls off his shirt and tosses it in the general direction of the hamper.
������������������������ DEREK
Something more than ?I didn?t know?! The truth would be nice.
Derek pulls his pants off, standing in nothing but his boxers while he searches for his sleep pants.
������������������������ ADDISON
Truth?Truth? You want to know the truth?You?re a great person to be talking about the truth. Seriously Derek? What happened with Meredith Grey? Because I see you chasing after her and her running the other way.
�������������� DEREK
We slept together Addi. Is that what you wanted to hear?
Derek finds his pants under the bed and sits down facing away from Addison.
�������������� ADDISON
That lying little?I asked her?
Addison spins around to face Derek.
�������������� DEREK
You asked her? When did you ask her?
Derek faces Addison.
���������
��������� ���� ADDISON
The day of the prom.
�������������� DEREK
Addison, we didn?t sleep together until the night of prom.
Derek stands up facing away from Addison again and pulls his sleep pants on.
�������������� ADDISON
It?s like I?m reliving my high school prom without the freaking Star Wars!! So, are we even? Or are we just going to keep hurting each other Derek?
Derek turns to face Addison again.
�������������� DEREK
I love her, Addi.
�������������� ADDISON
I know Derek.
�������������� DEREK
I can?t do this anymore, Addi.
�������������� ADDISON
Don?t call me Addi. In fact, Derek. Get out.
�������������� DEREK
Addison, this is my trailer.
�������������� ADDISON
Half of it is mine.
�������������� DEREK
I?m sleeping on the couch.
Derek storms over to the ?living room? of the trailer and flops down.
�������������� ADDISON
Whatever.
Addison angrily pulls the covers back on the bed and gets under them. She plumps her pillow before flopping down.
INT. MEREDITH?S HOUSE ? LIVING ROOM
George sits on the couch. Ripley and Izzy sit at his feet, watching the television screen. Meredith walks into the living room and squeezes in between Izzy and Ripley.
�������������� ��������� RIPLEY
��������� Where?ve you been?
������������������������ MEREDITH
��������� Finn?s.
������������������������ IZZY
��������� Did you tell him?
������������������������ MEREDITH
��������� Yeah.
������������������������ RIPLEY
��������� How?d he take it?
������������������������ MEREDITH
Surprisingly well. Something about testing out the waters. And that we hadn?t made any rules about us, yet. But we did. Tonight.
Meredith leans her head on Ripley?s shoulder and Izzy intertwines her fingers with Meredith?s.
������������������������
������������������������ MEREDITH(V.O.)
Yes. It?s the people who are left standing to help pick up the debris that you realize they?re your true friends. It?s times like t
