I’m trying hard to remember what happened on this big “cross-over” event (I need to start taking notes!) . . . but honestly I was a bit bored by it. I remember more of the second hour, because that’s really the story I was interested in, saving Erica. I was so afraid she was going to end up living, but being a vegetable or in a coma. Thankfully they actually strayed from the normal “kill the patient” formula and spared her.

On “Grey’s” I loved loved loved Derek and Amelia working together on the operation to save Erica . . . and mending fences. I always hated the way in the past Derek treated her. He was so nasty . . . then again he does the same thing to his wife.

Christina and Owen entered therapy . . .but it seems to have just made things worse. Christina felt Owen knew going in she didn’t want a baby, but he couldn’t comprehend how ANYONE couldn’t want a baby. Really? REALLY? This from a DOCTOR! I mean you’d think if anyone would understand some people don’t want to have kids it would be a doctor! I don’t know, the hope for these two is dwindling with each episode.

On “Private Practice” I found myself liking a storyline with Sam for once. Though that was because it didn’t involve him in Addison’s bed. I really like the storyline they have going on with him and his long lost sister who is suffering from misdiagnosed bi-polar disorder.

I am sure what they are doing with Pete and Violet. I keep getting this feeling that Pete is regretting his discion to leave, and is trying to make amends with Violet. If this is about Pete wanting Violet back . . . OH HELL NO! If it’s about them trying to get along for Lucas’ sake . . . okay. But I just keep getting this feeling Pete wants Violet back. Sorry buddy, you blew that one. Meanwhile Violet’s paramedic Ryan wanted more from her . . but she wasn’t ready to give it. All she could give right now was no strings attached, mind blowing sex. He said he’d take it. I really hope though that it becomes more than just that. I get Violet is not ready to rush into something more, but it’s nice to see her with someone who treats her well.

Finally I absolutely adored the scenes between Charlotte and Erica before her surgery. Erica asking Charlotte to do things for Mason, and also saying Mason would need a mother . . . When Charlotte stopped her and said she’d always been Mason’s mama, I got a little misty! I also loved Charlotte’s interaction with Mason, explaining how the surgery worked and about the tumor. When he thanked her for being honest with him, my heart melted! I can totally see Cooper and Charlotte begin talking about having a baby now! Forget Addison, Charlotte has become the star of “Private Practice.”

So I was not all that enthralled by this weeks episodes of “Grey’s” and “Private Practice.” When they are on point, they are great. When they are off, they are usually dull. This week I felt for the most part, it was an off week. The later show is once again on my last nerve!

On “Grey’s” I did love the Ben and Bailey story, especially the end where he surprised her with a romantic dinner and was okay with the change of plans. You could see her insecurities from her previous marriage coming through, as her other husband never understood her schedule and need to be at work above all else.

We also got a bit more of the Mark and Lexie drama, as she hoped to try and have a nice evening with Mark and the kids (she was baby sitting Zola so Mer and Der could have an evening alone). But things didn’t work out, as when she showed up Avery was there too. Awkward!

Some progress was also made with Owen and Christina. Teddy blew up at Owen, saying she hated him for what he did, that they’d never be friends again, that she’d never forgive him. When she confided in Christina about this, using “we” instead of “I” . . . well it got things spinning in Christina’s head. I guess she didn’t want to be included in all things Teddy anymore! She was fighting with Owen about getting back on Teddy’s services in the beginning of the show. At the end she went to him to beg him not to hate her (as Teddy hates him). It was a good scene, but can their marriage be saved? It seems they just want too many different things and neither wants to compromise?

Over to “Practice,” Violet began to question/ponder her relationship with the hot paramedic and how it impacted Pete, who was upset because he had to work with this guy. Sheldon suggested she tell Pete it’s not a relationship, it’s sex . . . which is what Violet said it was. Pete however didn’t care what it was she was doing . . . the problem was he cared she was doing it. . . . What what what !?!?! So he can’t do it, but she can’t? Or was this Pete basically saying he still cared about her and maybe things weren’t over? Oh hell no! I can’t take this back and forth stuff!

Speaking of the back and forth stuff, Addison was there to comfort and help Sam as he reconnected with his long lost and mentally unstable sister. Sheldon was also trying to help diagnose her and get her on a proper course of meds. Addison’s definition of comfort and be there as a friend meant sex, and Sam didn’t mind. Jake however did and felt Addison needed to figure out what she wanted, then come see him. Oh hell no x2! Why can’t these people make a decision and stick with it. Why does Shonda seem to love Sam and Addison so much? Can’t we just break them up for good?

Here is hoping next week’s cross-over shows dealing with treating Erica’s tumor is a bit more interesting. Dare we hope she actually lives? These shows, after all, excel in killing people off just when we have hope they will survive.

On “Grey’s” we had a “What If” episode with Meredith wondering what if her mother never died, what if she had a good father . . . how would things have changed? It was fun to see how different every one was, and to have Ellis back and as The Chief. She was a power hungry monster, Bailey was weak and timid, Addison was strong while Derek was a failure, George flunked out and is still alive somewhere, Christine was an uber-bitch, Alex was a geek and engaged to Meredith . . . Basically everyone was totally opposite of how they really are . . . well maybe not Christina?

As I said, it was a fun episode, but it seemed that the point was you could play the “What If” game all you wanted, but perhaps some things were fated to be . . . As the episode wound down it seemed like everyone was slowly morphing into who they really were. Alex was caught cheating, Addison was consumed with a baby, Bailey found a backbone, and Meredith and Derek ended up together at the bar together . . . I did love seeing the one dead doctor (killed during the crazed gunman spree) back.

Too bad we couldn’t get a “What If” episode of “Private Practice” and erase some of this show huh? Like “What If” they didn’t save Pete! Pete caught Violet kissing Paramedic Scott and flipped. He didn’t want her seeing him anymore. Hello, you’ve been boning girls in elevators Mr. Man! Thankfully Violet unleashed holy hell on Pete, reminding him that he left her, he doesn’t get to tell her what she can or can’t do anymore. What an arse!

Erica got into an accident with Mason in the car, which infuriated Cooper. Long story short, Cooper and Charlotte convinced Erica to try and fight to survive. This of course is going to lead to the upcoming cross-over episode.

Sam got a call and had to bail someone out of the drunk tank in jail. She eerily looked very much like Sam and Naomi’s daughter, but we quickly learned in the final moments of the show that it’s his sister.

Addison and Jake went away on a conference, and basically the sexual tension between them built. He turned her offers for sex down. Based on the previews, it looks like she hooks back up with Sam . . . . WHY !?!?!?!? Again we need a “What If” episode that sticks! What if Sam and Naomi never broke up

Finally the deeply disturbing story of an army vet who returned from Iraq with a shameful secret, he had been raped by his sergeant. The story was apparently inspired by a Newsweek report last year on the rising number of reported sexual assaults of men in the military.

Just some quick thoughts on the last few episodes of both shows . . . . I’m all caught up with vacation viewings finally! A lot went down, and I’m trying to remember things to comment on actually.

I love that Derek and Meredith are happy again and have Zola. Now isn’t it about time Derek finally finishes that dang house he’s been building for years?

I hate watching everyone in Mark’s life take such a liking to his new girlfriend, mainly because we know it won’t end well. He himself told Callie and Arizona to back off a bit, he wanted to take things slow so he didn’t ruin things like he always does. But I have a feeling he’s still hung up a bit on Lexie, who is still very hung up on him.

Watching Teddy grill yang over and over again about Henry’s death was heart breaking. I was so afraid that she was never going to forgive Christina. However it seems both Teddy and Christina have directed their anger at Owen . . . .

Christina and Owen’s huge fight at the end of the last episode was explosive to say the least. And in front of all their friends too at Zola’s party. I figured the abortion wouldn’t just be swept under the rug, and Owen exploded about it and how Christina always does what Christina wants, and that this was not the life he thought he was signing up for . . . Ouch!

Over to “Private Practice,” this week’s episode was just chocked full of horror as the couple Violet met at the beginning of the season returned, with the husband having beaten the wife until she lost her unborn child. Violet invited her to recuperate at her house, which lead to the husband breaking in, knocking Violet out . . . only for her to wake up and find the wife stabbing the husband over and over . . . I think it’s time for Violet to find a new house at this point as the blood stains are never going to come out of her floors!

As I felt would happen, Charlotte and Cooper are going to become full time parents to Mason sooner than later, as his mom has a brain tumor and limited time left.

Sam and Pete were moving on and playing the field, but neither seemed to happy with the idea of Violet and Addison moving on as well. Grrrrr! What is with the men on this show? Next week, from the previews, looks to be another infuriating episode involving Pete.

Addison, with Jake’s help, is searching for a surrogate for her baby. I liked that Amelia offered to carry it, but clearly with her just out of recovery that’s not a great idea. Addison knew as much as well. I guess Jake’s helping Addison is going to lead to their inevitable romance . . . . at least he’s not Sam! I am so glad they are over, and I really hope the show doesn’t put them back together again. Have they gotten the memo that those two just don’t make a good couple?

With every episode that passes, I seem to just find this show making me more angry than anything else, and I wonder why I bother to watch? I totally miss Nadine Naomi at this point and wish they could get her and Fife back!

Addison clearly wasn’t pregnant, and is now moving on to try and adopt. So instead of watching one failed attempt to get pregnant after another, we probably have to watch one failed attempt to adopt after another. I can’t take it! At the end at least her and Sam finally broke up. Thank the lord, and I hope they don’t get back together! Though personally I don’t think I am going to be to found of her and Jake as the previews hinted was coming. Well we all knew it was coming without the need for those previews really.

Pete’s balls became enormous in this episode, and I waited for Violet to kick him in them. They have been trading days at and away from the house for the sake of the kid, so he didn’t get moved around and had a stable routine . . . but it wasn’t working. Violet eventually told Pete he should look for a place of his own, and he acted annoyed by the inconvenience! Dude gave up on his marriage and still had the nerve to feel annoyed that Violet didn’t want him to stay in HER house. He eventually did admit it was her house and only right he go, but he still had attitude. Get the hell out of the house and their lives at this point you loser! Seriously, give Pete another heart attack and bury him at this point. His character has been ruined.

I think at this point the only story lines I watch for are Charlotte, Cooper and Mason; as well as Sheldon and Amelia.

I’m still a bit peeved they killed of Ryan, they could have kept him around. But I guess they need a way to put Sheldon and Amelia together, which is what they hinted at in this episode. Sheldon was still very hurt by what Amelia said to him while on drugs, and she was desperate to find a way to gain his forgiviness.

Meanwhile they’ve set the groundwork I feel for Mason to end up with Cooper. Cooper caught him stealing and worried it mean there was something going on with his mom, though the other doctors were just like “he’s a kid and stole something, happens all the time.” I’ve always expected the mom to kick the bucket and Charlotte would have to step up and be the mom she never really wanted to be.
