"How Come All Anybody Thinks About Is Sex?"Right Here, Right Now - Bailey asks that question of Addison, and while we don't get an answer, I'm glad someone brought it up. While she's at it, Bailey also calls Addison out on her bullshit with Noah and Squeaky, and almost makes out with Sam. |

Regret and RecoveryThe Way We Were - It's a month later and everyone's still trying to move on, though not too productively. Violet has "crazy head," Cooper's still blaming himself, Addison and Sam can't forgive Nae, Charlotte's still heartless, and Pete's enabling Violet. Dell's not even back at work, which means he's not recovered yet either. For doctors, these people sure suck at getting better. |

(Sort of) Birth And (Sort of) Death In the Same EpisodeA Death In The Family - There's a funeral from the past and a baby who isn't exactly "born." But the most shocking thing of all is that's it's not all about Addison (though she tries like hell to make it be). |

Fetal AttractionWhat 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. |

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 ChangesEx-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 PurposeSecond 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. |

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. |

Can Baby Say "Malpractice"?In Which Sam Receives An Unexpected Visitor - Remember that classic episode of The Dick Van Dyke Show where Rob thought they brought home the wrong baby from the hospital? Well, this is kind of like that, but at the end, instead of a huge laugh, there's just crushing tragedy. Luckily we have a puke-related subplot, and a potentially contagious stripper, for comic relief! |
