For the longest time, we were asking who knocked up Violet? We still don't know the answer to that, of course, but we've moved on to asking who rescues Violet.

Sick, but true.

Wondering who (if anyone) will save Violet from her non-elective C-section on Private Practice? Will Cooper return to Violet Turner's abode? Or will Pete be the hero?

"The only thing I will say is that, knowing Shonda Rhimes, whatever is the least convenient thing to happen will happen," Tim Daly, who plays Pete, told TV Guide.

"She always finds a way of making it very difficult on everybody, and I like that about working with her - even if I sometimes disagree with the direction."
