After learning that Sofia was coming back home, Arizona inadvertently broke things off with Carina. She had a poster of Cindy Crawford in her room and she wasn't looking at her beauty mark. Originally contracted to appear in three episodes, Capshaw's contract was extended to the remainder of the fifth season, with her becoming a series regular in the sixth season. However, after Arizona travelled to a prison hospital with Bailey and Jo, and then returned to work on Eliza's official first day, she blew Eliza off, stating that she was too tired. Callie asked who was jumping the gun now, but Arizona bounced back that she was the one who started this.Prior to the hearing, Richard advised Arizona to get some friends to testify for her, however she didn't want to do it and thought the subpoena should do that. She then ended up helping Arizona, during which she flirted. After Arizona stopped screaming, they heard a banging sound and Mark, Cristina, and Meredith followed it to find Lexie trapped under a large section of the plane.

Callie started criticizing the father, but Arizona came to his defense. While she was out in the woods, Alex left her a message to tell her that he chose to go to Hopkins to see if he was something without her around. At the end of the day, Arizona told an angry Callie that she couldn't keep apologizing and that Callie couldn't keep playing a victim.

Following her request to go to Callie, she and the others were sedated and put on a plane to Seattle, where Callie started taking care of the infected leg. Arizona walked April down the aisle and shared a look with Callie, which made her cry once again.Callie and Arizona decided to use a surrogate to try to have another child. She was a latecomer to Meredith Grey’s life and it took at least three seasons before she was loved by her sister. Arizona and Callie were forced to work together on a victim of the mudslide caused by the storm, much to Callie's dislike. She told him her name and instructed him not to move, as he could injure himself even more. They then dragged him back to the plane where Arizona was. However, Arizona had an infection in her leg that she could have died from if she didn't cut off the leg. Arizona then looked at her hand, and noticed there was dry blood on it. Arizona decided they'd work it out and accepted him as her roommate.On Bailey's first day as Chief, Arizona was confronted with Callie enthusiastically telling everyone but her about her fantastic new girlfriend. Mark broke up with Julia after returning to Seattle, telling her he loved Lexie. When Dr. Kenley died Dr. Bailey took offense to Arizona changing After becoming Callie's girlfriend, Arizona also became good enough friends with Mark, Lexie, and Cristina. Arizona asked April if she thought Callie was ever going to forgive her, and April honestly told her that Callie was telling everyone at the gala that Arizona was dead, so she guessed not. They agreed to rest for a minute and then rally, but they both fell asleep and when they woke up, it was morning. Despite this, Eliza found Arizona at the end of the day and told her that her allowing Leah to take the lead on the Wallace baby was a perfect example of her teaching strategy and thanked her for being on board.As Arizona was leaving the hospital the next day, Eliza found her and when she claimed she'd be happy if Eliza was fired, Eliza called her on it, saying it would scare her because it would mean the two of them could be something.After losing her first child patient, Eliza was distraught and Arizona coached her on how to get through that loss. She informed him that she thought they were all alive and then started laughing because she was in shock. She is the ex-wife of Callie Torres and the mother of Sofia Robbin Sloan Torres. However, before she managed to ask them for the favor while doing ultrasound for April, Penny came into the room and told Arizona that she was on Arizona's service that day. Arizona yelled at Callie, who was heartbroken that Arizona still hadn't forgiven her about the leg.

They managed to stay professional with Leah, who tried her best to forget about Arizona. She took two bottles of champagne and returned to the hospital to drink with Arizona. Later, Callie came to apologize for jumping the gun, but Arizona told her about the Barton School calling her. After Carina made a comment about moving countries at the drop of a hat, Arizona asked her if she was just going to leave suddenly and end their relationship. At the wedding, Callie once again brought up that she was doing the research for Arizona. She revealed it was driving her crazy how Callie kept on trying to forgive and take care of her. While the Chief in Boise recommended amputation, Arizona interfered and told Owen she gave no one permission to cut off her leg.
