Answer 2

First episode:
Meredith hooks up with Derek at a bar, not realizing he's going to be her boss. All the interns meet and almost instantly befriend each other, although everyone talks badly about Izzy since she's a model. Then Meredith finds out Derek is her boss and tries to avoid him. The girl that Meredith is supposed to be looking after dies and Meredith gets blammed, even though the girl kept asking for nonsense things so Meredith was in no hurry to get to her.

Eh. I think that was everything that happened.

Answer 3

Ironically that is the only show I watch on TV no lie! Its been a while and my memory istn the greatest but I believe Meredith wakes up after sleeping with Derek and then later sees him at the hospital. The interns meet Dr. Bailey...I can't remember what all happened in the first one.

I could quit, but here's the thing: I love the playing field.

Meredith Grey woke up next to a guy named Derek. And she promptly said good-bye to him, presumably for good, as she went off for her first day of work as a surgical intern at Seattle Grace Hospital. Meredith, along with fellow interns Cristina Yang, Izzie Stevens, and George O'Malley, all get assigned to surgical resident Dr. Miranda Bailey, but they would all come to know her as "The Nazi" (for her abrasive treatment of interns).

Meredith's first patient, a teenage beauty pageant contestant, recently began suffering from seizures so severe they threatened her life. As a neurological disorder that might need surgery, a neurosurgeon new to Seattle Grace gets put on the case to work with Meredith. That neurosurgeon is none other than Dr. Derek Shepherd, Meredith's would-be one-night-stand. Derek wants to talk to Meredith about the previous night, but Meredith wants none of that. He's an attending, she's an intern, that's what their relationship should be.

Meredith forms an immediate bond with Cristina that gets quickly tested when Derek chooses Meredith over Cristina to scrub in on brain surgery (it would've been a first for either of them). Izzie is assigned to do rectal exams amidst frustrating bouts of deciding when it's appropriate or not to bother Bailey. And George gets selected by the arrogant Dr. Preston Burke to actually perform a surgery - an honor he allegedly bestows on the intern who shows the most promise, but in actuality is for the intern he just wants to torture and make an example of in front of the others. George freezes up during an appendectomy with Burke and gets branded "007" - license to kill - by a fellow intern that rubs everyone the wrong way - Alex Karev. Alex also insults Meredith, but he gets his comeuppance when she is able to offer a proper diagnosis for one of Alex's patients in front of Dr. Richard Webber, Chief of Surgery at Seattle Grace.

Dr. Webber, by the way, turns out to be a friend of Meredith's mother, the famous Dr. Ellis Grey (whom all the interns hold in the highest regard). We get the impression that the relationship between Meredith and Ellis wasn't the best - Ellis didn't think Meredith had what it takes to go to medical school -- but no one, save for Meredith, knows that early onset Alzheimer's Disease has left her a shell of the person she once was, relegating her now to a nursing home.

Summary

Meredith Grey is a first-year surgical intern at Seattle Grace Hospital. There, she is introduced to what will become her "home away from home" for the next seven years, along with fellow interns Cristina Yang, George O'Malley, Isobel "Izzie" Stevens and Alex Karev. The first three and Meredith are assigned to resident doctor Dr. Miranda Bailey, nicknamed "The Nazi" because of her blunt attitude and strict way of doing things. Two attending doctors, Dr. Derek Shepherd (a handsome, flirtatious man) and Dr. Preston Burke (who is ready to make the interns cry), oversee most of the surgical procedures and have the interns follow in their ways. The chief surgeon is Dr. Richard Webber.

The night before Meredith's first day on the job, she sleeps with Derek (not knowing where he worked) after meeting him in a bar. The next morning, Meredith asks him to leave, only to see him hours later at Seattle Grace. Meredith is very uncomfortable about the situation because she does not want personal matters to get in the way of her career.

Preston asks George to be the first intern to perform a surgical procedure. He does well, but when a small mistake causes the patient to bleed profusely, George freezes and Preston takes over. In another case, George makes the mistake of promising the wife of a man who is going to have open-heart surgery that he will be okay. However, the condition was worse than what was expected and the man died. Meredith has to deal with a young girl who is having seizures, but the reason is unknown. After Derek asks the interns to research potential explanations, Cristina and Meredith find the answer. As a reward, Derek asks Meredith to stand in and watch the girl's operation. Cristina is furious because she feels that Derek is playing favorites towards Meredith.

After her first day at the hospital, Meredith tells her mother, Dr. Ellis Grey, about what went on. However, Ellis does not understand what Meredith is saying because she has Alzheimer's disease.
