In the first episode of Grey's Anatomy, George O'Malley nervously says, "We're going to survive this, right?" He's talking about being an intern, which is already proving to be grueling on the very first day. However, his words later take on a whole new meaning.
As fans of the show know, while George does survive his internship, he doesn't survive his residency. Tragically, the fan favorite character dies at the end of Season 5 when he's hit by a bus after pushing a woman out of its path. However, there's another small detail about George revealed in the first episode of Grey's Anatomy that becomes even more relevant during his final episode.
In a dramatic turn of events, George is unrecognizable after being hit by the bus, and is only identified after he writes his nickname, "007," on Meredith's hand with his finger. George earns this nickname in the first episode of Grey's Anatomy after botching his first surgery, which prompts the other interns to mockingly nickname him "007" — a reference to the fictional spy James Bond and his "license to kill."
