Private Practice
Episode Stills

This Thursday's episode of Private Practice might not place Addison in a life-threatening situation or have her awkwardly make out with Sam, but that doesn't mean it isn't loaded with interesting storylines.

Addison's father, played by Stephen Collins, pays his daughter a surprise visit. There's also a marriage intervention and - as the clip below depicts - an arrest...

As always, TV Fanatic will recap and review the episode in depth.

For now, click on the photos below for an early look at scenes from "Sins of the Father."

Uh-oh.

On this week's episode of Private Practice, it isn't just a patient that's in danger. Addison finds herself trapped inside a car, following a hiking trip with Sam that turns into a major medical adventure.

Check out the clip below from "The Hard Part."

There is some levity during the hour, of course:

Charlotte, Cooper and Violet treat a newlywed that has downed too much Viagra (The Hard Part? Get it?!?); while Pete and Sheldon fall for the same girl at a bar.

This Thursday's all-new episode of Private Practice, "Right Here, Right Now," takes its name from the popular, early '90s hit of the same name by the band Jesus Jones.

What that has to do with this episode, we have no idea. But what we do know is that Dr. Miranda Bailey (Chandra Wilson) will be crossing over from Grey's Anatomy!

Bailey brings a kidney transplant patient to Los Angeles, and Addison, her former Seattle Grace colleague, isn't the only Oceanside Wellness doctor pleased to see her.

Meanwhile, consequences of Addison's emotional affair with Noah catch up with her, and Sheldon and Pete finally - finally! - discover who the father of Violet's baby is.

Combine those things and you have an episode that pretty much sounds awesome. Click to enlarge lots of photos of Bailey, Sam and Addison on Private Practice ...

Few shows left viewers closer to the edges of their seats in May than Private Practice.

In one of the most disturbing cliffhangers in TV history, Violet was drugged, left immobilized and was about to have her baby cut out of her. Yes, Shonda Rhimes really went there.

When the new season premieres on October 1, the fate of Violet and her child will be the main focus of the episode titled "A Death in the Family." Does this title forecast the end of a main character?

You'll need to tune in to find out. But fans can get an early look at the Private Practice season premiere with the photos below...
