Private Practice

Special Delivery

Yours, Mine & Ours - Addison can't do her job, Dell sucks at his job, Naomi quits her job, Charlotte loses her job and Violet's job puts her life in danger. So ends another season of Private Practice.

Letting Go

What You Do For Love - Pete breaks up with his girlfriend, Sam breaks up with Naomi, and our patient of the week (a teacher) breaks up with her student. It's another happy day at Oceanside.

Internal Affairs

Do the Right Thing - Everything gets messy at Oceanside, as Naomi dates one of Sam's best friends; Violet's jealous as Pete dates a patient; and Addison finally makes out with her patient's husband.

Fetal Attraction

What Women Want - Addison and Dr. Barnes continue to gaze at each other while Addison tries to keep his pregnant wife from losing her baby. Another pregnant lady's already lost her baby, but loves it far too much to let the doctors remove the fetus. Oh, yes, the crazy is intact this week, but somehow this episode is pretty good anyway.

Say My Name

Finishing - Sam's still being punished for saying "Naomi" during sex with Sonya, and Addison waits a little too long to introduce herself to her new love interest.

Oh, Grow Up!

Wait and See - Charlotte, Archer, Violet, a new father, some couples in counseling, and Pete's cancer patient all have some learning to do. At least one of them actually pays attention and gets a very valuable lesson out of it. I'm not so sure about the others.

Nothing Really Changes

Ex-Life - Charlotte's still whining. Cooper's still trying to win her over. Violet's still thinking about no one but herself. Dell still doesn't matter. Archer's still an ass, according to Derek. And it turns out Sam (probably) still loves Naomi. Addison and Derek are still bickering like an old married couple and, of course, Bailey's still the smartest, most reasonable person on any episode -- even when it's not her show.

You Thought There Was a Crossover?

Acceptance - Turns out this show and Grey's won't really crossover until next week. This week was all about setting that up. And something about a fetus, a baby, and a little girl. Oh, and this might be the first episode in the history of this show in which no one has sex. Which might be a good thing, because it was a pretty good episode.

Pregnant Without Purpose

Second Chances - Violet's still pregnant, and not telling either possible father. But, hey, at least she's letting it affect her work as a therapist. Charlotte's still mad at Cooper, despite his many unnecessary apologies. Addison's still self-absorbed and her brother, Archer, is still an ass. Fortunately for us, though, Sam and Naomi are still hot, and they're getting naked a lot in this episode. But not with each other.

They're Just Trying to Make Us Cry

Nothing to Fear - This week: Hannah from Everwood gives up her baby, and it's sad. Charlotte's still grieving Big Daddy, and it's sad. Pete and Sam help Joel Grey die alone, and it's sad. Violet's pregnant and it tries to be sad, but isn't. Addison breaks up with Kevin, and it's... not sad.
