Izzie: There they are...I can't...I can't...you look. Please, you look for me.
George: Ok. She's getting the infusion. You did it.
Izzie: Is she um...how does she look.
George: You can...you can see for yourself. It's ok; she can't see us from here.
Geprge: She's got your eyes. And your mouth..
Oh, that means she probably talks a lot and eats a lot then.
George: If she's in pain she's not letting on. Man she's tough.
Izzie: That's her George, that's Hannah.
George: Yeah.
Izzie: She's beautiful, don't you think? She's really beautiful.
George: Yeah, she's a heartbreaker.
George: Oh, crap. Our coffee. I'm sorry, I forgot. I got so busy.
Callie: Oh yeah with what?
George: The clinic, patients. I mean...you know how it is. Oh man.
Callie: Yeah, I know how it is. I'm tired...I'm really, really tired so I'll see you at home.
 Best episode ever. I'd hoped since we learned about Hannah that she'd share the secret with George, and she did.. and then he looked at Hannah because she couldn't, and described her (and what she shared with Izzie) while making Izzie smile at the joke, and 'she's a heartbreaker' - and you know he was talking about Izzie too. And not to mention George going crazy trying to find out what was wrong all day.

The thing that I was most excited about was um, Izzie's daughter coming back for a bone marrow transplant, which I've been fairly obsessed with since we decided Izzie had a daughter at all. Um, and I kept saying we've got to bring her back for a bone marrow transplant, we've got to bring her back.. and everyone kept saying, 'but she's not sick.' I was like 'but she is. We're making her sick right now.' (so she got sick, during that period of time they talked about it and now she needs a bone marrow transplant.) Yes. Um, and I really loved it because when we did this storyline about Izzie talking about having a daughter and giving her up for adoption, it was really beautiful and felt really full circle and whole and I felt like Katie Heigl did an amazing job with it and then it was something that was sort of never talked about again and that was purposful because it was Izzie's secret. But to me one of the best ways of using this secret was the intimacy that she shares with George. This idea that George is more to her than just a friend. That they have this great bond and this great friendship that she would go ahead and reveal this to him was really amazing to me. (Absolutely) It was a really great way to show how strong their relationship actually is despite everything that's happened.
And then the one thing.. that he doesn't even listen when she says 'I want to be alone, I want to do this by myself.' (he wont let her) he transcends all that garbage and goes in and in esscence lies to his wife again because he's doing the right thing for Izzie. And he can't tell anyone, because Izzie doesn't want anybody to know about it, so.. he's being the most incredible family member of hers. (And he's denying his own family..cause Callie's his family.)
My favourite moment of the George and Izzie story is just the moment when George takes her upstairs to the daughter, and Izzie wont look, and Izzie wont look and George is describing her (oh it's so good) and he says, and I just love this line 'She has a big mouth, which means she probably talks a lot and eats a lot, you know.. like yours', and it's very charming like there's this lovely moment and you sort of go like 'He loves Izzie so much.' (And he loves everything about her, he loves the good and the bad. He knows her.)

The Izzie bone marrow story has been swirling around our writers room for a while. In fact, I’m pretty sure that as soon as we figured out Izzie had a daughter – we also figured out that one day, that daughter would get sick. She would need bone marrow. And that would bring her to Izzie.
The question has always been – WHEN do we bring Izzie’s daughter back? There have been a LOT of possibilities, but suddenly – in the wake of this new Izzie/George relationship… At this very crucial moment, when Izzie is mourning the loss of her closest friend, and when Goerge is having trouble even looking Izzie in the eye… SOMETHING needed to happen that would bring them together—privately. Intimately. Perfectly.
Hello, Izzie Jr!
The thing I’ve always loved about this story is that it’s not about Izzie or George. Their tension, their fling, their awkwardness – it all gets put on a back burner the moment something much more important falls into their lives. They have to set aside their weirdness, step outside of themselves and their screwed up lives, and – just hold each others hands.
It’s like that moment, just before the hematologist starts to drill into Izzie’s hip, when Izzie and George’s faces are just inches apart, and nothing else matters. It’s just George being there for Izzie when she needs him most – it’s clean, it’s simple, and it’s one of the most meaningful moments – for both of them. Well… that and the scene with the scrub pants…
SIDEBAR: Can we please talk about George and Izzie’s scrub pants??? Is it just me, or was that moment charged in a way that made me both a liiiiittle bit uncomfortable AND incapable of breathing for – well – the rest of the scene? I’m telling you – this whole George/ Izzie thing? I’m as conflicted as you are. I see a scene like that and I think to myself – Oh my goodness, they belong together. Right NOW. Make it happen!! Until I see Callie a few scenes later and… well, I get mad at myself for forgetting all about her. Because I love Callie, and I hate the idea that George might hurt her – REALLY hurt her… Callie’s blameless here. She loves a man who really really seems to be… falling for his best friend?!?!?
