On the morning of her first day as a surgical intern at Seattle Grace Hospital, Meredith Grey is running late as she recovers from a one-night stand and prepares for her first day. Meredith quickly befriends George O'Malley, who's quirky, yet lovable, Cristina Yang, a highly competitive woman, and Izzie Stevens, a model turned surgical intern. Each of the new interns get assigned to Dr. Miranda Bailey, who past interns have dubbed "the Nazi".
Meredith's first patient, a young beauty pageant contestant, recently began having severe, life-threatening seizures and Meredith uncovers that she'll need brain surgery to save her life. However, things take a turn when the neurosurgeon, Dr. Derek Shepard, happens to be Meredith's one-night stand. He wants their brief relationship to progress into something more, but Meredith is firm on her stance - their relationship should remain strictly professional.

Episode Quotes |
| |
Meredith: Stop looking at me like that.
Derek: Like what?
Meredith: Like you've seen me naked.
| Meredith: If I hadn't taken the Hippocratic Oath, I would Kevorkian her with my bare hands.
| Meredith: I can't think of a single reason why I should be a surgeon, but I can think of a thousand reasons why I should quit. They make it hard on purpose. There are lives in our hands. There comes a moment when it's more than just a game, and you either take that step forward or turn around and walk away. I could quit but here's the thing, I love the playing field.
| Burke: The only person that can keep a promise so big is God, and I haven't seen him pick up a scalpel lately.
| Cristina: (about George) Total 007.
Izzie: 007? What's 007?
Meredith: Licensed to kill.
| Dr. Bailey: (to new interns) Don't bother suckin' up to me. I already hate you. That's not gonna change.
| Meredith: I'm going to go upstairs and take a shower. When I came back, you'll be gone right?
| Meredith: Did you let me scrub in for this operation because I slept with you?
Derek: Yes... Just kidding.
| George: And after that you can have all the bacon-flavored soja product you can eat.
Patient: Hm, kill me now..
George: I wish I could, but... I'm a healer.
| Izzie: (to patient) Ok, I'm just gonna insert my fingers.. into your rectum.
| Dr. Bailey: I've seen his file - George O'Malley barely made the cut to get into this program. He's not your guy.
Dr. Burke: Oh, he's my guy all right.
Dr. Bailey: Every year you pick your guy, and every year your guy suffers more than any other inte..
Dr. Burke: Terrorize one, and the rest fall in line.
Dr. Bailey: I get it, I respect it, but George...!
| Izzie: Dr. Bailey, I don't mean to bother you, but..
Dr. Bailey (half asleep): Then don't.
Izzie: It's Mr. Jones.
Dr. Bailey: Is he dying?
Izzie: No.
Dr. Bailey: Then stop talkin' to me.
| Alex: (about Meredith) Is she seeing anybody?
George: I don't know.
Alex: (whistles) She's hot.
George: I'm friends with her. I mean, not, you know, actually friends, but we're tight. We hang out. Really only just today, but..
George: Dude. Stop talking.
