"In the eighth grade my English class had to read Romeo and Juliet. Then for extra credit, Mrs Snyder made us act out all the parts. Sal Scarfarillo was Romeo. As fate would have it, I was Juliet... all the other girls were jealous, but I had a slightly different take. I told Mrs Snyder that Juliet was an idiot. For starters she falls for the one guy she knows she can't have, then she blames fate for her own bad decision. Mrs Snyder explained to me that when fate comes into play, choice sometimes goes out the window, and that I would be lucky if I ever experienced that type of true love. At the ripe old age of 13, I was very clear that love, like life, is about making choices. And fate has nothing to do with it. Everyone thinks it's so romantic, Romeo and Juliet, true love, how sad. If Juliet was stupid enough to fall for the enemy, drink the bottle of poison, and go to sleep in a mausoleum, she deserved whatever she got. Maybe Romeo and Juliet were fated to be together, but just for a while, and their time passed. If they could have known that beforehand, maybe it all would have been okay. I told Mrs Snyder that when I grew up, I'd take fate into my own hands. I wouldn't let some guy drag me down. Mrs Snyder said that I'd be lucky if I ever had that kind of passion with someone, and that if I did, we'd be together forever. Even now, I believe that for the most part, love is about choices. It's about putting down the poison and the dagger and making your own happy ending... most of the time. And that sometimes, despite all your best choices and all your best intentions... fate wins anyway" 

"admit that you're scared"

"So, you kissed me?" Lucy said to Alex as they walked down the hall.

"Yes, I did"

"Listen, Alex, it was a great kiss but I'm not a relationship person and-"

"Are you trying to reject me right now?"

"I mean, yeah. Is it working?"

"Shepherd, I'm not trying to date you. It was a heat of the moment kiss. One time thing"

"Really?"

"Really. But there's an on-call room nearby if you want to..."

"I guess I have some free time"

Savvy was in the room with Addison, Weiss and Lucy. "Since she has the gene, there is an 85% chance of getting the cancer", Addison explained. "She doesn't have the cancer now", Weiss insisted. Derek entered the room. "There's a 15% chance she won't get it", Derek said. "We've been trying really hard to have a baby", Weiss said. "We have already discussed this and I have already made up my mind and the conversation is over", Savvy said. Addison gave Lucy instructions for the operation. Weiss and Derek objected. "I'm afraid I override your objections as Savvy is my patient", Addison said.

Lucy was doing tests on Savvy while Alex filled out charts in the room. "I saw your expression in the other room", Savvy said to Lucy. "I am certain you're uncomfortable with the kid thing, the breast thing, or the overnight menopause thing". "I just think it's a big step", Lucy replied. "I think it's brave", Alex commented. "Thank you", Savvy smiled. "I would love to be pregnant, I would love to skydive, learn Italian, go to St Tropez and lie topless on the beach". "They do good reconstruction these days, you would never have to wear a bra again", Alex commented. Savvy laughed. "Alex, don't you have somewhere else to be", Lucy said. Alex grabbed his charts and left. "It's not the kid thing", Lucy said. "I only have two options", Savvy said. "Take chances and not get cancer, or take chances and get cancer and die young".

"I think there's another option. Take chances, get cancer and fight like hell to survive"

In the locker room, Cristina was trying on dresses for her date with Burke that night. "I still can't believe Savvy is getting the surgery just because she might get cancer", Lucy said. "Slice them and dice them, they're just body parts", Alex said.

"Would you cut your penis off?"

"I would if it kept me from dying, I have spares anyway"

Lucy glared at him, rolled her eyes and stormed out.

Lucy walked into Savvy's room where Savvy was putting on makeup to get ready to go out to dinner. Lucy looked frustrated. "After the surgery, I might not be sexy and beautiful", Savvy said. "But I hope it's not the only reason Weiss wanted to be with me".

Lucy and Alex sat in the gallery watching Savvy's surgery. "Why does this bother you so much?" he asked.

"Because what if it were me? What if my boobs were plastic and my skin had aged ten years? You'd be very hot to kiss me and screw me in on-call rooms then, wouldn't you?"

Lucy was sitting on the bench in the locker room when Alex found her and sat down. "Look, I like your rack", he said. She got up. "What is wrong with you?" she yelled. "Why do you have to be so- What is wrong with you?" He pulled her back down onto the bench. "But, it wouldn't be the end of the world if you got rid of them", he said. "Because what I'd really want is you". Lucy's breath hitched and something fluttered in her chest. She slapped him across the face. "Ow, what was that for?" Alex asked, holding his cheek. Then she grabbed his face and kissed him. Then she walked out. She had started to fall for him and that terrified her. Alex brushed his fingers against his lips where hers had just been. They were almost tingling with electricity. He had started to fall for her and that terrified him.
