Oh, Baby

Back at the hospital, Addison tries to convince Pete to join Team Baby Killing by first using medical logic and then through the power of her lady parts. He remains unconvinced of getting involved and prefers to let the parents decide. Addison warns Pete that she told Sam she was seeing someone, but didn't name him. He seems way too happy about that. Like, isn't "He Won't Tell His Friends About You", like, Rule Numero Uno in "He's Just Not That into You?" Then they have sex in the hospital's coffee room, which is very sanitary.

Maya has taken Dell's advice and has hauled her pregnant ass all the way to the hospital to beg her mom to come to her wedding. My opening would have been: "I didn't have the abortion, so you better come to my wedding, woman." Instead she opts for "I need my mama." While that would have melted my heart, Naomi takes it as an affront to motherhood. She claims Maya needed a mother long ago and she's not going to give her one now. Which is pretty much just punishing Maya for Naomi's own crappy parenting. Maya protests that it's her wedding! Not a rather expensive and elaborate religiously-fueled guilt trip. But Naomi won't sit down in front of God and, like, the neighbors and be reminded of what a shit parent she was. And nothing cures a hill of crappy parenting like a MOUNTAIN of crappy parenting. And, I'm not particularly religious or anything, but wouldn't God already know that she was a lousy parent?

Poor little incubator baby is laboriously breathing in his incubator with his eyes taped shut and his little stocking cap on his head. His mama watches him and recounts the struggle to get pregnant and all the IVFs and how excited they were to have him. The mom asks to hold her little baby, but Addison really unnecessarily bitchily says no. I mean, TONE, woman! C'mon, this a heartbroken grief-stricken mother, could you pretend not to disprove of her wanting to HOLD HER BABY? Then the parents and Pete and Naomi all gang up on Addison and force her to perform a surgery to try and save the baby's digestive system against her strident advice. Addison glares at them all, but agrees to do it.
