Private Practice Season 5 Premier Thought: Ehhhh!

Private Practice Season 5 Premier Thought: Ehhhh!

Posted by Dustin on 09.30.2011 at 12:03 pm

So “Private Practice” returned last night, and “Ehhhh!” kinda sums up my feelings about the premier. First off, we knew with the departure of Naomi they weren’t going to kill Pete off too. Maybe take him out of the picture for awhile by putting him in a coma and debilitating him? It seems they didn’t even do that though. It was touch and go, but he survived. Also Violet returned from the airport and it seems like all is forgiven. As if their huge blow up at the end of last season is just all forgotten. Violet was a little late getting to the hospital, and she was playing doctor with a woman she met at the airport who had spousal issues, namely her husband had turned violent and hit her recently. The woman was a lawyer, and I have a feeling she’s going to help Violet fight to get her license back eventually.

Amelia is still a drunk, and still suspended from the hospital (though she did perform surgery on Pete). Addison is still sleeping with Sam, but still wants a baby and went to a fertility doctor at the end . . . who turned out to be Benjamin Bratt’s character (Jake Reilly). He promised to help her get a baby, but also learned she was seeing someone. Uh Oh!

The previews for next week show Jake applying to fill Naomi’s vacant position at the practice and everyone loving the guy . . . except Addison as she was fooling around on the side with him at the end of last season. Oh brother! Here we go again, another Addison triangle! That’s why I pretty much felt “Ehhhh!” about this episode. Nothing surprising, nothing shocking, and more of the same with Addison.

  1. It could go either way for Violet on both the Pete front and with this lawyer lady… Pete was still euphoric from anesthesia, but when he snaps out of it, those troubles may continue. As far as that lawyer lady, she could help Violet get her license back or sue the crap out of her for practicing without a license. She’d deserve it (her character annoys the crap out of me).

  2. As Violet hasn’t charged her, I don’t know if she can sue her. I did wonder if Pete would snap at her, but I don’t think so. He’s gunna need help 🙂
