The medical, ethical debates promised by Shonda Rhimes for Season Two of Private Practice - on top of the show's usual witty banter and slew of awkward romantic entanglements - were certainly on display on last night's show.

Having taken over the practice, Sam had to weigh Oceanside's bottom line against humanely treating a teen patient, while Addison and Naomi struggled with the case of two young lovers who ... happen to be related.

With its Season Two premiere, "A Family Thing," ABC's Private Practice grew up a bit, eschewing flighty romances for bigger drama and ethical dilemmas.

Paul Adelstein promises more of the same, while also previewing what's ahead for Cooper and his strange romance, in a new interview with TV Guide:

TVGuide: It's so good to see the show back....

Paul Adelstein: It's nice to have it back.

TVG: The gang was a little rough there on Naomi, at the end of the premiere.

Paul Adelstein: Hey, man, she left us all high and dry! Although in her defense, we probably should have been paying a little more attention. [Laughs]

TVG: Apparently one and only one partner had their eye on the ledger.

Paul Adelstein: And the rest of us were in the kitchen snacking when we should have been seeing patients.

TVG: Is that one of the themes this season, that we'll get a bit more into the business of the practice, versus pretty people just flitting around and flirting?

Paul Adelstein: That’s a major thing, that the practice itself is in trouble. We have a high-concept idea of what the practice should do, but that butts heads with financial realities. So there are some splits in the ranks about how we should proceed. On top of that, [series and Grey's Anatomy creator] Shonda Rhimes has added a lot of issues of medical ethics that aren’t so black-and-white.

This post has moved to TV Fanatic.

A lot of time is spent discussing Addison, our heroine.

But below is a little Private Practice spoiler from E! Online's newest spoiler column, specifically pertaining to Pete's love life ...

Q: I heart Tim Daly as Pete on Private Practice. Please tell me he'll get some lovin' this year since Addison is running off with the SWAT guy!

A: Addison's (Kate Walsh) rejection does not go over so well — Pete's reaction involves grabbin' Violet's (Amy Brenneman) booty in the next episode. Also, the doctors freak because they can't find new clients to come into the Wellness Center.

It’s time to free Kate Walsh, opines Entertainment Weekly.

The gorgeous and talented actress, so witty and intelligent in her talk show appearances, and totally awesome on Grey's Anatomy, deserves to be emancipated.

She has done her time in the TV prison some believe is called Private Practice and, as part of the campaign to win her freedom, these shirts have been created:

The Grey’s Anatomy spinoff starring Kate Walsh as Addison Montgomery, Private Practice, was the freshman ABC drama most in need of a makeover.

Did it get one? And did it improve things? That's another question.

Private Practice is the Heroes of ABC, writes the Chicago Tribune.

On both shows, the characters are known for impulsive, rash decisions, but at least this year as opposed to late, they’re making them a lot faster.
