Private Practice: Blue Like Smurfs

Private Practice: Blue Like Smurfs

So I finally caught up with “Private Practice” as well last night. I have to say this was probably my favorite episode so far!

First the run down as to what happened. Addison had to help a newly wed couple have a magical wedding night. The woman had an issue with her vajayjay that essentially made sex painful. Addison was forced to turn to Pete for help. Pete dealt with the anniversary of his wife’s death, we learned he basically hated his wife and her death had lead to issues for him, given he hated her. Violet helped a patient essentially get the courage to leave his wife, but in the end he stayed with her as it turned out she had a terminal illness (which she lied to him about having). Violet deleted her own ex’s last message from her answering machine. Cooper dealt with the mystery as to what was making a woman’s girls turn blue and become ill. Turns out their were playing in a neighbor’s shed near poisonous fertilizer. Finally Naomi dealt with her anger over Sam leaving her and the fact that she still wanted him.

So why did I like this episode so much? I have to say it was Violet and Cooper’s story lines that made it for me. I know this show was devised as a spin-off for Addison, but I have to say I am not liking Addison! It just seems since moving to LA and joining this show she’s developed this “Poor me, my life sucks, this situation sucks” attitude. I just want to say shut up and stop whining! Cooper and Violet made the episode for me, as well as Naomi and her cake fetish. I don’t know how all you felt about it or the show in general, you can chime in with comments. I’m just wondering though, are they wanting us to be annoyed with Addison or are we supposed to feel sorry for her? It seems to me to make the “star” of the spinoff annoying isn’t exactly a great gameplan!

  1. This was also my favorite episode thus far. I miss the Addison that we were introduced to at the end of Grey’s season 1. She showed a little bit of that when she told the co-op doctors that she was staying, but it still had a whiny undertone. I’m still on the fence about this one.

  2. I have to say Private Practice is surprising me lately. I put off watching the second and third episodes until last night and I really enjoyed them. Seemed like a different show compared to the first episode!

    Au contraire – I think it is a great gameplan. I mean, it worked for them once already with Meredith. ;P
