Sorry, that headline sounds awkward. Addison is not happy about the fact that someone dies on Private Practice (which happens!) ... these are independent developments.

As for who kicks the bucket, we don't have much to go on there (we leave it to you to offer predictions), but we can pretty much guarantee it's not Addison Montgomery.

Not only is she the first-billed star of the show, but considering what else happens to her in the season finale, we can't see Shonda Rhimes being so cruel as to kill her off. 

This season of Private Practice may actually end well for Addy!

“You’ve watched her get really beat up all season,” Rhimes tells EW. “I wanted to sort of see her have a chance at really being happy ... to finally get the guy and find peace.”

No word if the guy is named Pete or Sam ... who should it be?
