Private Practice Episode Preview: Love, Lies, Etc.
Private Practice returns March 17, a week earlier than Grey's Anatomy.
When the Off The Map premiere scrapped one of its episodes earlier this winter, PP fell a week behind its parent show. It makes up that week the Thursday after this one.
In "Love and Lies," the doctors clash when an expectant mother and her husband, desperate to have children, come to harvest the eggs of their unborn, ill-fated baby.
The drama returns to Private Practice a week from Thursday.
Meanwhile, Amelia tries to help a friend who threatens suicide if tests for Huntington's Disease come back positive, and Fife returns to tell Naomi how he feels about her.
Whether this impacts Audra McDonald's exit from the show remains to be seen.
Are you pleased with the current season of Private Practice? What are you looking forward to watching play out when the show returns? What do you predict will happen?

I've thoroughly enjoyed this season of PrP. Starting off with my favorite pairing getting hitched and following up with the two learning from the past and building a life together. They've learned how to compromise, how to disagree and even argue without letting it affect their relationship as a whole. I'm overwhelmingly happy with developments between Violet and Pete this season, and Lucas has got to be one of the cutest kid characters on TV period. I can't get enough of this little guy and his parents.
Charlotte and Cooper have also had amazing growth this season and I'm happy that she and Sheldon eventually managed to maintain a friendship, as their connection was one of things I really loved last season. I didn't like how Charlotte and Violet's friendship had suddenly vanished into thin air in the beginning of the season, but I'm glad that things are better between them.
Addison and Sam is really the only couple I've been disappointed with this season. Last season they had so

A promo for this episode has already been released. Seems like Sam is thinking it's more than it is while Naomi's convinced it's just nostalgia. Guess we'll just have to see what happens! Especially after Addison questions them.

Sam and Addison need to get through this and stay together. They are perfect for each other. AdiSam. :]

I'm actually pleased with this season of Private Practice. I love everything that's happened between Charlotte and Cooper. And on the contrary, I think that the pacing of what they've done with her rape storyline has been good. It's far from over as well because I know that they plan to keep this a part of Charlotte as long as she remains to be a character on the show.
I think we should also wait and see what they do with Addison and her mother's death because that story's only started as well. Shonda herself has said (through Twitter) that we're going to be seeing how Addison deals with Bizzy's suicide. Moreover, the baby storyline between her and Sam is also going to surface again. I think we just need to be patient and see what more they do with Addison.
If anything is dragging this season down for me, it's any story involving Violet (and sometimes Pete). I just don't see anything interesting really happening with this character and her relationship with Pete is just not bel
