I don't agree with the reviewer on Addison. How is she more self-centered than anyone on this show?? At least she admits her failures and pays for her mistakes. Others, like Naomi, never do.
Also, her relationship with Sam is the only one that she didn't start impulsivly. She tried for months to get over him. There was nothing implusive about it.
All in all I liked this episode. The cases weren't very exciting.
I thought Charlotte and Cooper were very sweet.
As were Addison and Sam.
I like that Naomi finally realized that what Addison and Sam have is indeed real and probably going to last. It's time she accepts it. I didn't like that she was so judgmental towards Addison again. She's always like that and I wish just for once Addison would stand up to her and tell her that she isn't Miss Perfect either.
I still don't like Bizzy very much and I'm dreading next week when she's probably going to blame Addison for what happened with Susan.
And I do not believe anything will happen between Dr. Rodriguez and Addison. She made it clear she doesn't want him.
I agree with Shonda on this. Addison might be ready for a baby, but Addie and Sam are not. And since Addison clearly said she wants to have a baby WITH him, she's going to have to wait.
I'm sure she'll have her baby, especially now that PP got renewed for a fifth season. There's still plenty of time.
Except for Sheldon, Sam and Amelia ALL of the characters on PP have cheated!
Addison is one of them. Why does that make her a worse person than all of the others?
She's not goint to cheat on Sam with Dr. Rodriguez. They wouldn't promote like that if she did. The 'surprise' is going to be that she doesn't do it...
To me the Dr Rodriguez/Addison flirtation seemed kind of forced. It makes him very unsympathetic that he pursues her even though she's in a stable relationship.
For now I don't like him very much.
Bizzy is horrible, but I'm looking forward to see this storyline developing.
Best episode: Agreed. Good acting from everyone and very well written.
Best character: Sam, Addison, Sheldon
Worst character: I usually love Naomi, but she's been so self-righteous lately... also I don't like Coooper and Pete.
Best relationship: Addison and Sam! They are just great together. Even though I have to admit I liked them even better last season. I wish we'd get more love and fun with these two soon. I loved Charlotte and Cooper before their break up last season. Now they are annoying. Cooper is far too immature for Charlotte. I don't care very much for Pete and Violet, but I like them at the moment.
Best storyline: Hopefully it will be the Bizzy/Addison storyline.
Hoped for 2011: An Addie/Sam baby would be great. I hope they can make it as a couple. I'd appreciate more screen time for Sheldon and Amelia. And I don't really want Mark Sloan to come back to LA, but I like the idea of Addison turning him down because of Sam.
Overall grade: B
I understand why Naomi is upset and I'm glad she was honest to Addison about her feelings. But some of the things she said, I would have liked to see Addison throw back at her.
Sam and Naomi got their closure which was nice. They do have chemistry, but their personalities don't match at all. That's part of why their marriage didn't work.
I don't know how I feel about Sam 'killing' his patient back then. I wish there would have been more consequences for him.
I loved the flashbacks though. Addie looked cute. lol
It was nice how Addison was there for Sam, but I hope we'll get to see them as a happy couple in the next episode.
It was an okay episode.
I really liked Sam's scenes with Dink and I liked him working on the case with Charlotte. I also enjoyed Amelia and Sheldon. Very glad they made them regulars.
Cooper was annoying and so was Violet. I don't think Pete and Violet will last.
I wanted the bathtub scene to be longer. But hopefully there will be more Addie and Sam in the next episode.
I think it's much too early for them to get married. I'm sure they won't go through with it and if they do, it probably won't last.
I don't really care either way though as long as Addie and Sam are together.^^
I think either Violet or Dell is going to die and maybe Maya and/or her baby.
The thing I'm really excited about though, is what the finale will bring for Addison and Sam. I'll be hugely disappointed if nothing happens between the two after a whole season of build up.
Those Addie and Sam scenes were delicious! I hope they get together next week, though I don't know when they could possibly find the time with Maya being in danger and someone else dying... Still, I hope she at least breaks up with Pete!
I loved the Violet/Pete scene! It's so obvious how much they still love each other!
I have no idea who's going to die! Some spoiler said that we would find out in this episode, does that mean it's Dell?
@Aurora: Addison has slept with three men since the beginning of the show! That's the same amount of men Naomi and Violet have slept with also. Violet even slept with two men at the same time. (Talking about Pete and Sheldon, both of whom she was stringing along) and Naomi cheated on William with Fife. Charlotte slept with men she met ON THE INTERNET before she got together with Cooper.
Are all of them whores? I don't think so!
About the "dating your friend's ex" - thing I refer back to my earlier post. I don't understand how people just can't think further than that argument...
And about Pete and Addison: Even you say that you couldn't resist Lucas. That's exactly why Addison is still with Pete. She's not in love with him and I doubt she ever will be.
In my opinion Sam and Addison have amazing chemistry and I think Sam is the first guy she's interested in on both GA and PP, who treats her right. I think she need a man like him and I hope she'll get him.
Why do people STILL keep using the "your best friends ex is off-limits"-argument with Addie and Sam?
This is NOT a black and white issue, though those who use this argument certainly seem to think so. You have to evaluate every situation individually before passing judgment. It's like the father killing his daughter's rapist. It's not white, but it's not totally black either!
Addie and Sam have been friends for about as long as Addie and Naomi. Addie already stepped back when Sam asked her out in med school and now she's putting Naomi first AGAIN.
She'll only get together with Sam, if Nae gives them her blessing. How does this make her a whore?!
I agre with everything you wrote, MissKitten... It's getting so exhausting seeing those two together.
Bring on Addie and Sam finally! And if you don't, at least break up Pete and Addison!
@ Sid: I totally agree! I can understand that some people might still like Pete and Addie from season 1 (though I didn't even like them back then), but this season it's SO obvious that they aren't even in love, that their relationship is fake and that Addison would have run away a long time ago if it wasn't for Lucas!
I hope this gets resolved before the finale, so that they can concentrate on Addie and Sam!
To me this episode just made it even more obvious that Addie and Pete don't fit together at all. How creepy was the last scene? It looked like Addison didn't want to let him into the house at first. And only when Pete held Lucas out to her and the baby smiled at her, she let both of them in. Very telling!
Also, I hope Addison realises that Sam would never treat her the way Pete treated Violet in this episode. Even though he hates her (especially the fact that she's with Pete) and had the perfect chance to destroy her life with Pete, he kept his mouth shut and walked away. He's a good guy and Addison deserves a good guy!
I do think the judge made the right decision. But Pete acted like a jerk. It's so obvious that for him it was more about punishing Violet than it was about protecting Lucas.
I loved Sam in this episode. I loved when he confessed to Violet about his conflicted feelings for Addison and that he didn't say anything on the stand that would have made Addison and Pete look bad even though he hates Addison at the moment. Pete could certainly learn that lesson from him...
I love that Naomi is back and I loved her scenes with Sam, Addie and especially the ones with Violet.
Pretty sure that Charlotte and Cooper get engaged. IN the promo pics Charlotte is wearing a ring...
I'm okay with that. Hope it will put a end to their constant fighting.
And I really need Addison to break things up with Pete ASAP. They do nothing for me. I hope she's with Sam in the end.

There was a lot of Violet in this episode. But I didn't mind because I actually enjoyed her case. And Amelia and Sheldon were fun.
I liked the whole episode. Only Pete was annoying...
