WHILE CASSIE WAS AT JOE'S WITH IZZIE, GEORGE, AND MEREDITH,she approached the bar to grab a drink. As she was waiting, she spotted Bailey, and decided to go over and say hello. "Hey, how are you, Dr. Bailey?"
"Cassie," Bailey nodded in greeting. "I'm fine, tired. How are you?"
Cassie smiled, glad her resident actually liked her as a person; she always was a people pleaser. "I'm good, I actually—"
"Meredith kissed me," Derek interrupted, squeezing himself between them without warning. "Addison kissed me. My wife and my girlfriend kissed me on the same day."
"I'm sorry, what?" Cassie laughed in shock.
"Joe, do I look friendly to you?" Bailey asked Joe as he handed Cassie a shot of tequila.
"Oh, you're a tiny little kitten of joy and love," he responded, earning himself a look. "What? He saved my life."
"His first mistake," she rolled her eyes. "McDreamy, go sit by someone who cares."
Derek scoffed, before pointing at his sister. "Cassie cares."
"Does she?" Cassie piped up, causing him to raise his eyebrows at her in betrayal. "Look, Derek, I love you, but you need to stop complaining and get your shit together."
"What she said," Bailey said, high-fiving her intern from his other side.
"Everything's gonna be fine," he shook his head, ignoring them. "Addison will go back to New York, Meredith and I will start over, and everything's gonna be fine. Right?"
Bailey shook her head at him as Cassie took her shot. "You're so damn stupid."

"Cristina Yang, post-op day 3from a unilateral salpingectomy," Cassie presented the next day during rounds, trying not to laugh at the dirty looks her friend was sending her mother.
