Unlike “Grey’s”, which I loved this week, I found myself aggravated with “Private Practice.” This was thanks to Addison’s dilemma. I’m saving it for last in this write-up.

Sam had backed off dating this week, while Noami became a dating maniac. She wanted to have her fun and sew some oats. She liked one of Sam’s friends, asking for his number. Sam eventually gave it to her, but it was clear he didn’t want to. Poor Sam is clearly still in love with Naomi, who seems to be moving on without him. I am betting Noami and Sam will end up back together at some point though.

Violet had a patient lose her baby, but she wouldn’t accept it. She had mental problems, the baby she felt was an answer to them, she couldn’t bare to have lost it. Nobody could get through to her, except Dell at the end. He told her bad things happen, sometimes they have to accept it. In this episode Dell’s ex got a job in Chicago and wanted to move there with their daughter for a fresh start. He didn’t want to lose his daughter, he wanted to talk about this. Later he found out that she fled anyway without telling him. Packed up the whole apartment and vanished. I have a bad feeling there was no job, she’s back into drugs somehow and running from someone she owes money to.

Violet finally had her ultrasound this week, she’s having a boy! In the end Pete showed up for the ultrasound, in spite of trying to lose himself in a frenzy of dating and one night stands. He realized he was hiding from the baby as much as Violet, who had been putting this off had been. I don’t know, I just get the bad feeling their growing closer will blow-up when the baby turns out to be Sheldon’s, who is nowhere to be found lately.

One funny thing that happened with Violet was that she and Charlotte finally became friends, and bonded over making fun of Cooper. Again, is this a friendship that might be fractured if Violet ever decides she wants Cooper? Or Cooper wants her?

Addison meanwhile tried to drop her pregnant patient, Noah’s wife. She had to be on bed rest at the hospital, Addison thought a doctor at the hospital would be better for her. A flimsy excuse. Noah came to her begging her to take the case as she was the best, he wanted the best. He said he could separate his feelings for her from this, he was stupid. He went on and on about how he just never felt this way before, and he was hoping it wasn’t in his head and she felt something too. She said nothing and walked off.

I was so miffed. I mean he got married, he got his wife pregnant. What is this “I’ve never felt this way before” nonsense. Grrrr! Addison later decided she could manage her feelings and agreed to take the wife as her patient, to see this through. Then she made the major mistake, she told Noah he wasn’t wrong, it wasn’t in his head, she felt it too. However she said she would not act on it, she was not that kind of person.

Well first, yeah she kinda is, or was. I mean hello, she’s done this before! If she does this again, oh it would infuriate me. Addison would really be nonredeemable. I don’t know why I have this feeling the wife will lose the baby, and Noah will lose himself in Addison’s arms. No no no no! Please don’t do this to me Shonda!
