Addison is attracted to Wyatt, the rival practice's brash doctor, while Violet secretly dates Pete and Sheldon at the same time, and Cooper gets closer to Charlotte in a family emergency.
  • Seems like Violet's made a decision.

    "Superb"
    This was another well scripted and acted episode of Private Practice. You could really feel for the family all of whom have cystic fibrosis and the choices the father had to make: look after his little boy or be with his dying daughter and risking being infected too which could lead to his death. The lesbian couple and the son were also quite well done too. Charlotte revealed a softer side to her over the death of her father and it was great to see Cooper comforting her. Violet also made her choice between Pete and Sheldon at last and Addison and Wyatt got together.moreless
  • A very touching episode..

    "Perfect"
    This was one of the best episodes from Private Practice I've watched. It got to me skin deep and made me cry like a baby. It was a very touching episode, with the little girl dying and his dad having to choose between staying with his 2 year old son or dying with his little girl. I mean that was one of the most impossible choices anybody can go through in life and they were able to make you live it in every breath. Now the good part was finally seeing Addison hooking up with Wyatt, got to say they make a great couple. I also loved Charlotte and Cooper back together; finally we got to see Charlotte's soft side.
    In brief words this was a brilliant episode, well written and perfectly played. This show keeps getting better and better and I just can't wait for next week.moreless

    • Violet: I'm a mess. Sheldon: We're all a mess. Don't you know that by now? All I know is I don't mind finding out who you are.

    • Violet: Okay, look, Pete, Sheldon, I'm ... sleeping with both of you. I thought it was okay. But it's not. I realise that you just can't do that. I can't do that. And I'm sorry. Pete: Who are you?

    • (Violet is being examined by Addison) Addison: I think that it's hard to figure out who the right person is. Violet: Thank you. Addison: Yeah, I mean Kevin's great but is he the one? Or is it someone else? Naomi: I want to be okay with this Sonia thing, I do, I do, but I don't think I care that Sam is dating. Do I care? Am I in denial? No, this is about Maya, right? I'm not crazy, this is about Maya, I'm not crazy. Violet: Does this really look like the time for therapy?

    • Violet: How can I choose? I mean, Pete is ... Pete's all heat. I just see him and I melt. And Sheldon is comfort. Addison: Like mac 'n' cheese.

    • Charlotte: Momma's taken to her room with the vapors and none of them wants to make a decision about Big Daddy. Cooper: The vapors? You have a medical degree from John Hopkins. You've diagnosed your mother with the vapors?

    • Addison: Wyatt asked me out on a date. Naomi: Oh. Addison: He's different than I thought. Naomi: Okay, well, can I just say that you're in a relationship, so, you know, knees together.

    • Addison: Remember when Maya told you to get a life? Naomi: I have a life. I have a great life. Addison: I'm just standing, here on my patio, in the dark, spying on your ex, his girlfriend and your daughter.

    • Wyatt: Takes me back to residency. When life was simple. Addison: You see, I have a hard time picturing you as an intern, taking crap from your attending. Wyatt: By year 2, they all hated me. Addison: It took them that long?

    • Wyatt: Want to grab a bite? Addison: Actually, I am starved but I am supposed to ... meet someone. Wyatt: Ah! The cop. Addison: Yes. The cop. Wyatt: So you really think a hot date and fine dining is better than a guy you can barely stand and cafeteria mac 'n' cheese? Addison: Well, I do love the mac 'n' cheese.

    • Addison: Sonia is being fun because she's trying to make a good impression. That's what happens when things are new. Look at me and Kevin. Not so new, not so nice, either. Naomi: That sounds like marriage.

    • Cooper: What we need to do now is get Gracie to the hospital. Get her in isolation while we figure out what to do. Daron: Okay, I'll take her now. Addison: Daron, you can't take her. You can't touch her. You can't be with her or you'll die.

    • Violet: I thought I was okay with it. But I'm not sure if I am okay with it. I'm sleeping with two men. Do I get a lecture now? Cooper: Yes. Yes, you do. This is good. This is progress.

    • Cooper: What's your problem, you'd think someone died. Charlotte: Dying. Big Daddy. Cooper: Big Daddy? Well that is a screen-name. When you get back on the horse, you really get back on the horse, huh? Charlotte: Cooper- Cooper: What's killing him? The sex or the cold fish attitude? Charlotte: Big Daddy's my father.

    • Sheldon: Don't scare the erection. It's up Violet. Full mast.
