Tablet in hand, Helena walked to the elevator with Maggie, finding Meredith holding her suitcase.

"You're back!" The short girl smiled.

"Hey! How'd go with the kids?" The blond asked her sister.

"Great! They're amazing, I just dropped them off at daycare." She nodded.

"Thanks again for watching them."

"How about you? How was your weekend? In DC? With your husband?" Maggie asked.

"It... was fun...!" She smiled. "I'm a little exhausted, you know."

"But it was the good kind of exhausted, right? Did you even leave the bedroom?" Callie joined them. "Was he surprised? Did he freak?!"

"Did he, Mer? Freak?" Helena teased, with a knowing smile.

"Or did you just go straight to getting freaky?" Callie sang.

"You know, did we even push the button, because it's just..." Meredith pressed the elevator button again, repeatedly.

"Oh, you pushed the button." Helena smiled.

As the elevator opened, Alex, who was inside, let out. "Hey, look who's back!"

"Meredith was just about to tell us about her weekend. With Derek." Maggie insisted.

"Oh, was she, now?" Helena tried to hold in a giggle.

"Tell me now so you don't show up in my bed tonight. It's a good thing you didn't walk in on this morning." Alex smirked.

"Oh, everyone is getting freaky but me..." Callie exhaled.

"Actually, I was just about to... I actually remembered I have to, uh... yeah..." Meredith let out, exiting the elevator with Helena behind her.

"You're a terrible liar." The short girl told her.

"Shut up..."

"Hey!" Arizona let out, entering the MRI viewing room, where Amelia, Helena and Stephanie already were. Turning on the microphone, she apologized. "Sorry I'm late, sorry I'm late."

"Three surgeries today, Robbins. Campos is not gonna round by herself." The woman reprimanded.

"I know, we're on it!" The blond reassured, then telling the women. "Yeah, uh, Wilson just barged in and stole my shower. Edwards, does she always walk around naked?"

"Not around the hospital, generally." She told them.

With a giggle, Helena let out. "It's like residents gone wild."

"Robbins, you live with residents?!" Nicole sat up, in the machine.

"Oh, God. Is that thing still on?" Arizona looked to the microphone.

"You're a grownup! Get your own place, I need you focused here!" She reprimanded.

"Lie down, Nicole." Amelia instructed, the woman complying.

"So, d-did Wilson just climb in the shower with you?" She asked.

"Yeah... no. Well, of me."

"Was she coming on to you?" The woman asked.

"No!" Arizona exclaimed.

"Doubtful." Stephanie let out.

"Honestly, I'm like 95% sure Alex wouldn't mind." Helena shrugged.

"You know what? Can we- just drop it." Arizona squealed.

"Residents gone wild." Nicole chuckled, making Helena do the same.

"Would you two go?" Amelia asked. "You're making her laugh too much."

As the Dimpled Duo left the room, Helena let out. "You know, Wilson getting naked in front of you reminds me of something..."

"What?" The blond asked.

"Well, I'm only  gonna tell you because there are no bricks around, but when Callie was living with us, my intern year, she did have a bit of a thing for walking around naked, too. Like, once, she had just showered and George said she was wearing his towel, and then, , naked Callie in the middle of the hallway." She chuckled.

"Yeah, she did that..." Arizona agreed.

"I think she toned it down when I told her it was a little uncomfortable for me, because I'm into girls... you should try that." Helena suggested.

Helena walked down the stairs with Nicole, approaching Arizona and Alex, the older woman calling out. "Robbins, let's go scrub."

"Coming. Listen, just talk to her, and- and maybe buy her a robe." Arizona tried.

"Why would I do that?" Alex scoffed.

"Is this about the naked resident?" Nicole asked.

"Yeah." Helena confirmed.

"Oh, you and Wilson. You're a thing?" The woman asked.

"You know what? Let's not..." Arizona pleaded.

"And Robbins can get handsy with the residents." Alex told her, making Arizona's mouth drop open.

At that, Helena simply giggled, burying her face in Alex's shoulder.

"I do not!" The blond argued.

"Last year, she got handsy. HR got involved. There are policies now..." Alex explained.

"Because of you?" Nicole asked. "Robbins, that's incredible."

"Incredible?" Helena chuckled.

"It's not- it- both of you. Stop. Ok?" Arizona then turned to Helena. "And, Lena, a little support?"

"Alex, maybe just... let her walk around room naked? You know, she's a resident, Arizona is her superior, she's a girl who likes girls...." Helena tried.

"It just puts us both in a very awkward position and you should respect that." Arizona tried.

"Well, I'm kind of down for whatever happens." He shrugged.
