Ep.	Title	Air/Pub'l	Grade	Author
3-8 Recaplet	And the Winner is ... Cooper Freedman Sins of the Father - Coop goes to jail and gets beaten up, but he still comes out looking better than anyone else in this episode -- partly because he's smart and wonderful, but also because so many of the other characters on this show suck.	2009.11.19 2009.11.20	N/A	DeAnn Welker
3-7 Weecap	The Amazing Addison The Hard Part - Have you heard that this show is about this woman who can do anything she wants, and we're still expected to root for her?! She can deliver babies in wrecked cars in the bottom of a canyon and make out with her best friend's husband all in the same episode.	2009.11.12 2009.11.16	D-	DeAnn Welker
3-6 Weecap	What a Pussy! Slip Slidin' Away - Addison becomes a crazy cat lady, Charlotte hands out vibrators, and Pete's too much of a coward to find out how Violet actually feels about him.	2009.11.05 2009.11.06	C+	DeAnn Welker
3-5 Weecap	Indecision 2009 Strange Bedfellows - Violet waffles all episode about whether to testify, and then can't even decide how to testify. Sam doesn't know if he can work with Charlotte King. And Addison tries to talk a woman into having a risky surgery on the unborn baby she's carrying.	2009.10.29 2009.11.02	A-	DeAnn Welker
3-4 Weecap	Switcheroo! Pushing the Limits - Oceanside loses a naturopath to Pacific Wellcare, but gains a hospital chief when Charlotte ponies up $50,000 her loser boyfriend Cooper can't afford.	2009.10.22 2009.10.26	B	DeAnn Welker
3-3 Weecap	"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.	2009.10.15 2009.10.19	B+	DeAnn Welker
3-2 Weecap	Regret and Recovery The 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.	2009.10.08 2009.10.12	C	DeAnn Welker
3-1 Weecap	(Sort of) Birth And (Sort of) Death In the Same Episode A 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).	2009.10.01 2009.10.05	C	DeAnn Welker
2-22 Weecap	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.	2009.04.30 2009.05.04	D-	DeAnn Welker

2-20 Weecap	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.	2009.03.26 2009.03.30	B+	DeAnn Welker
2-19 Weecap	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.	2009.03.19 2009.03.23	B	DeAnn Welker
2-18 Weecap	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.	2009.03.12 2009.03.16	D	DeAnn Welker
2-17 Weecap	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.	2009.02.19 2009.02.23	B	DeAnn Welker
2-16 Weecap	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.	2009.02.12 2009.02.17	A	DeAnn Welker
2-15 Weecap	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.	2009.02.05 2009.02.09	B+	DeAnn Welker
2-14 Weecap	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.	2009.01.29 2009.02.02	C	DeAnn Welker
2-13 Weecap	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.	2009.01.22 2009.01.26	B	DeAnn Welker
2-12 Weecap	Eeny Meeny Miney Moe Homeward Bound - Violet and Addison each have to choose between two men, while one patient has to choose between her son and her partner, and another has to chose between his son and his daughter.	2009.01.15 2009.01.19	B+	Cindy McLennan

2-9 Weecap	Loneliness and a Haircut, Two Bits Know When to Fold - Addison's hair takes center stage this week, going from straight to curly in a single episode. Oh, and Pete and Violet made out. Stop the insanity!	2008.12.10 2008.12.12	B	LuluBates
2-8 Weecap	Euthanasia Euphemism Crime and Punishment - It's murder, mayhem, fornication and sin over at Oceanside Wellness. But what's new?	2008.12.03 2008.12.04	B	LuluBates

2-5 Weecap	Moral Majority Let it Go - Addison tries to fix the financial issues at Oceanside Wellness, but no one is willing to listen to her because her morality is showing. Also, Violet’s friend is Ming Na and she is wacked.	2008.11.05 2008.11.06	C-	LuluBates
2-4 Weecap	The Way We Weren't Past Tense - Addison makes a heartfelt plea for the office to return to the funfest that it once was. She'll even spring for the ponies and cotton candy and Paxil if that will make everyone happy.	2008.10.29 2008.10.30	B-	LuluBates
2-3 Weecap	Sadists, Sociopaths, and Surgeries... Oh My! Nothing to Talk About - Nothing like a potential serial killer to get a therapist's hypothetical panties in a twist. Violet gets all the fun.	2008.10.22 2008.10.24	B-	LuluBates
2-2 Weecap	Incest is (Not) Best Equal and Opposite - The practice is still in chaos, and Naomi is not talking to Addison. While mature, that tactic gets tricky when your clients turn out to be siblings who are determined to have a kid. Is it the Halloween episode already?	2008.10.08 2008.10.09	B-	LuluBates
2-1 Weecap	Touching the Monkey A Family Thing - The practice is failing, they try and tackle issues, and Zanzibar seems like a nice place to be right about now.	2008.10.01 2008.10.02	C-	Angel Cohn

1-7 Recap	Oceanside And Too Many Babies In Which Sam Gets Taken For A Ride - When it comes to having a baby, you can't plan for everything, but it helps if you don't stop to commit armed robbery on your way to the hospital. Meanwhile, the Oceanside docs learn that the best-laid plans won't get you laid...and the best sex is unscheduled.	2007.11.14 2007.11.19	C-	Mollie

1-5 Recap	Let Me Take You To Ladytown In Which Addison Finds A Showerhead - Addison shouldn't have sex with Pete, no matter what happens in her dreams.

1-3 Recap	Let Them Eat Cake In Which Addison Finds The Magic - Addison feels sorry for herself because it's raining in L.A. But she's got nothing on the newlyweds who can't have sex, the guy whose wife is a seriously ill harridan, and the mom whose daughters keep turning blue. Naomi's moping, Pete's grieving, and Addy needs to suck it up.	2007.10.10 2007.10.15	B	Mollie
1-2 Recap	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.
