This week on Private Practice, Addison, Pete and Sam all come together on a complicated case involving a father-to-be who comes down with tuberculosis and thus threatens the future of his new family ... and anyone else he comes in contact with.

That sounds rather intense... and potentially fatal.

Meanwhile, with Violet having escaped to Costa Rica, Sheldon takes over one of her patients, Natasha, to get over her devastating fear of flying (the episode is called "Fear of Flying").

Lastly, Naomi finds herself in a bit of a love triangle and the two gentlemen we think are involved - Fife and her boss, William - should make things very interesting to watch play out.

"Fear of Flying" airs Thursday, March 4, right after an all-new episode of Grey's Anatomy. What do you think of Naomi's romantic prospects? Or about Pete and Addison's future?
