Last week, Private Practice focused on the immediate fallout from the brutal sexual assault on one of its main characters in "Did You Hear What Happened to Charlotte King?"

Last night, in the fittingly titled "What Happens Next," Charlotte tried to pick up the pieces and return to her normal life, only to find out, predictably, that it's not that simple.

Looking ahead to next Thursday, the recovery process is only going to get harder. In the promo below, she's faced with the decision of whether to confront and ID her attacker ...

What do you think she'll do? Can she conquer her fear and go through with it even if it means looking that lowlife in the eye? No matter what, it should be very emotional.

Meanwhile, it looks like Pete must face a couple of demons from his own past ... his brother and mother. They're not on good terms, but will her failing health change that?

Sound off on all things Private Practice with a comment below.
