Cue a euro zone finance ministers meeting in Brussels.
When the ministers have their regular meeting on Monday there will be little brinkmanship or fear of failure.
For one thing, a bailout is already in place - the argument this time is about compliance and future targets in order to get another tranche of money.
It seems as if we have been here before: the euro zone fretting that a crisis with Greece will balloon out of all proportion while the government in Athens says it will not impose one euro more in cuts on its austerity-battered public.
There are differences this time from two years ago when a battery of "last chance" meetings over a new bailout brought Greece to the brink of bankruptcy and default - and threatened the euro zone with its first dropout.
