  • A nice mishmash of stories..

    In my opinion, this wasn't the strongest of storylines which Private Practice is capable of producing. We had 4 different stories with a nice soft touch to it. Addison gets this epiphany of dying all alone after one of her terminal patients kicks the bucket after giving her cat to Addison. Charlotte's new practice has a hard time finding patients and Cooper refers a creep whom he met in an internet chat room. Naomi meets this Stephen Hawking of a dude, who is preparing to create a genetically modified baby. And Naomi's ideals of not playing god are brought out in this episode. Pete and Violet treat a depression victim who gets better after shock therapy. She then goes on put on an act of forgetting her fiance, because she thinks he's a loser.

    A lighthearted episode. Nothing particularly stood out..moreless

    Fair episode of Private Practice tonight. A few solid cases, some comedy, and some emotional moments at the end. Everything you expect from the show on a given night when you put on ABC around 10 PM on a Thursday.

    As a cat lover, I loved to see the best animal in the world incorporated into Private Practice. This was a nice side-storyline and I enjoyed seeing Addison in a different light, as opposed to being all boy crazy like she is every other week (until the end when she did cry about the lack of action in her life).moreless

    • Naomi: [Gabriel] has no moral center. He supports eugenics. He wants me to help him design a baby. William: That's what you do, Naomi... when you wade out disease. You're afraid of the slippery slope, but you're already on it! Naomi: Maybe, but I'm not skiing down it. William: I'm not asking you to accept it. I'm telling you. Find a way to make it work.

    • Barbara: [My father] liked Jimmy so much. He used to tell me all the time, 'Barbara, Jimmy -- he's such a nice boy. He wouldn't hurt a fly.' Sometimes, uhm, (irritated) I want him to hurt a fly!

    • Naomi: Everyone has their own scars to bear. We all have our insecurities. And-- and they're painful and-- and persistent. And they're ours.

    • Sam: Why is Catwoman so sexy but a woman with cats ... Cooper: So not...
