Good episode. Cooper's story-line with the blue kids was kinda cool.
And the rain! Hilarious!
Naomi and her cake was very sweet, too but all in all this episode didn't make me want to watch the next one right away like last episode did.
PrP is nice, but still not as good as Grey's IMO. It is very enjoyable, though and the cast is amazing.
It was nice to get to know Pete a little better, at first it was heart-breaking, but in the end you felt even mor sorry for him, since he's been through so much.
And now "I am caked out!" (best line of the episode)

The cast is definitely carrying the show right now; not so much the stories. Still, I'm liking it. I've decided to remove "Grey's Anatomy" from my list of shows this season. I actually prefer PP to GA (I never watched the latter on a regular basis and don't have the time for both; I'll probably resort to DVD one day). Hopefully the stories become more involving as time goes on.

Did anyone here catch this? I missed all television, this evening, because severe storms came through, and knocked the electricity out all evening. It only just came on. If someone saw it, could you give your opinion and a summary? Thanks!

Yup, I've seen it and I liked it a lot.

The main case is a pregnant woman who everybody thinks has Munchhausen's disease. Her mother wants to get her back to psych ward in the hospital but Addison and Sam try to prove that she has something different which in the end turns out to be Crohn's disease.

Cooper has a case of a boy who gets beat up by one of his skater friends b/c the boy asked this friend out. Th boy runs aways but Cooper manages to find him. We also learn that Cooper is in love with Violet, and has always been despite his internet romances. (Hilarious scene in the bathroom!!)

Pete deals with an elderly engaged couple. The husband to-be inexplicably just falls asleep no matter what he is doing.

And then Addison had invited everyone to a party at her house, but nobody accepts the invitation or they even forget. In the end they do come of course.

Casting scoop and big news!!

According to Michael Ausiello David Sutcliffe (Christopher on Gilmore Girls) will be joining the cast as a love-interest for, who else, Addison.
If it's gonna be only a few episodes or more hasn't been decided yet.

And.... Private Practice is getting a full season!!! Yay!!

Wow! I REALLY enjoyed this episode. I am finally starting to warm to it, and I believe this has the potential to go the distance. This episode made me laugh, alot, and even tear up at the end.

The story with the gay kid made me sad. Yes, he is only 10 years old, and has a lifetime ahead of him. However, I know exactly how he feels. I'm 32 years old, and I've been where he's at. I've also been where Cooper is. So, I really relate to that story.

The storyline with the older couple was hilarious! Absolutely hilarious. I also adored Addison in this episode.

I'm actually excited for next week!

Another good episode. Not the best episode of the season, but, I'm really enjoying this series now. I was worried about it, at first, but, it has really gained my attention. The last three episodes have really won me over. I believe it has great potential, and I look forward to a long run for this series.

Loved this episode!!

Poor Violet. She really kinda is pathetic and should really start to "see" Cooper. He is so great. Probably my favorite character.
Dell was great: "Your loss!"
The story-line about Maya and her friend was disturbing.
Addison and the showerhead. :lol: Cowboy.
I think the show is definitely getting better and deserves the full season pick-up.

Oh, wow! Spectacular episode. This show has gone beyond my expectations. It's funny how I started off disliking it, to now being in love with it.

I loved Cooper's case. I am glad that he stuck with his intuition. I'm also glad that Dell was able to help out, as well. This situation also opened Sam's eyes, a bit.

The case that Naomi and Addison has was so heartbreaking. I nearly cried in the end, when Addison said those words, which really ring so true, "A person gets to have their whole life". Those words are my new motto. Absolutely awesome!

Pete helping Charlotte get some sleep was great. Funny that Pete and Addison were referring to Charlotte as "it". LOFL. I loved, towards the end, when they were all standing around, watching her sleep, and Addison said, "It's like watching a sleeping lion!" :lol:

The end scene, when they were all together, and Addison, Naomi and Violet are all talking, was so great. It gave me the sense of family. I actually have come to care for these characters.

Next week is going to be amazing! Sara Gilbert as a crazed woman with a gun! I can't wait!

I actually REALLY love this show. I went into watching it with low expectations but came out thrilled! I think Pete is a cutie and I love Cooper. I've been a fan of Paul Adelstein since Prison Break. I was really bummed that Kate isn't on Grey's anymore, but I like that she gets more TV time on PP now. :)
