There were some funny and sentimental parts, although some of the storylines were a little boring or wierd.

I liked how they were rescuing the babies teens didn't want. I felt bad for Addison because you could just tell how much she wants a baby. It was neat that the girl ended up coming back for the baby. I also liked how Cooper's date turned out to be Charlotte. That was funny, and I could not believe they ended up having sex. I wonder how it will play out in the future. Sam and Niommi thinking the were being punished for having sex was pretty funny, although I didn't love the convent storyline. It was obvious that they would find out what it was and find a way to cure it. I wasn't too excited to find out who had outside contact because it didn't seem like that big of a deal to me.The storyline with Addison dating Violette's patient kind of wierded me out, but I guess it just goes to show what her life is like right nowmoreless

Private Practice proves that not all spin-offs have to suck, and this episode basically shows that fact straight on!

Addison continues to deal with her mid-life crisis concerning her ticking clock, which is just about to strike the stop button. The girls and the guys start gossiping in this episode, and they all run into very unexpected situations. Like Addison, Violet, Cooper, Charlotte, Sam and Naomi. Dell stayed funny and amusing, but the episode was over all really entertaining thanks to Sam and Naomi's storyline at the convent.

The show needs a little more fine-tuning and it will be good to go.

Poor Adison. I feel so sorry for her. She wanted that little baby so badly. And Pete is starting to catch up to her. I really hope he changes his mind about the just fun stuff. They would be such a perfect couple. And I cannot believe Cooper slept with Charlotte. So much about him being in love with Violet. She won't want just sex. She will pursue him and he won't give her what she wants. Then again, maybe this will open Violet's eyes and will force her to make a move. I can't believe they had Joy Lauren be the pregnant girl in this episode. She plays Danielle in Desperate Housewives and is also pregnant. Well, was pregnant. She just had a baby, and it was a boy. hehehe.... I didn't think she could play another pregnant girl at another show of the same network when she is a major regular character on DH. Can't wait til tomorrow!!!!moreless
