This past week on both “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Private Practice” saw relatives visiting. The following are some quick thoughts on both shows. Overall I enjoyed both, but that ending on “Private Practice” was a doozy!

On “Grey’s” we saw Alex’s brother arrive and we learned a lot about his past. His father was an abuser and his mother had her own problems, so many of the kids were put into the foster system. Alex had a long history in them and with run ins with the law. This impressed the hell out of Bailey, to learn where Alex came from and yet he still became a doctor.

I liked the back story for Alex, it made me like him a lot more. Okay I didn’t like how he treated his brother in this episode. But lately I’ve not liked Alex as much as he’s been acting like an ass. We also learned Izzie sent the divorce papers to Alex. So clearly they are slowly writing her out.

The Teddy/Owen/Christina storyline is on my last nerve. It seems to be so obvious that Teddy and Owen will end up together because they both know each other so well, and love each other in spite of the other people in their lives. Owen blew up at Christina again, which made her frightened, which made him realize it’s time he see Dr. Wyatt again. Teddy meanwhile is giving Christina advice on how to deal with Owen. Like I said, so . . . . obvious!

Derek brought up the idea of children with Meredith, which of course freaked her out. What freaked me out was that the fired resident Derek brought back suddenly has some stalkerish crush on him. Lexie caught on though and warned her, but she still keeps looking at Derek. Oh lord, this is not what we need. MerDer have finally got it together and now this?

Over to “Private Practice,” Derek’s little sister Amelia (I believe that was her name) showed up with a team that came to save the unborn baby’s from the woman in the coma. I was actually shocked that this story had a happy ending for once! The babies survived and the woman, thanks to Der’s little sis, came out of her coma.

The real story however was with both Sam and Addison trying to move on from one another, but it not working out so well. Sam’s new girlfriend hated that she was still competing with Addison, while Addison felt Pete still loved Violet. In the end, Violet returned! She showed up on Pete’s doorstep, saw Addison caring for her child, and said she was back and wanted to see Lucas.

Yeah, I can see a custody fight about to begin and it turning ugly between Pete and Violet! Grrrrrr, if they do this I’m gunna be so turned off!
