Now that Naomi & Sam have called it quits & Pete's girl has gone back to the jungle Addison & Kevin (Swat guy) have been given top priority in this episode. Pete, Sam, & Cooper go out for drinks & after seeing Charlotte at the bar everyone at the practice the following morning finds out they are dating.
It's becoming impossible to concentrate at Oceanside Wellness because of all the construction going on upstairs with Charlotte's new offices & OR's being built. This comes into play after Kevin tells Addison he loves her. When that happens all of her old trust issues with Derek come to the surface & she begins to follow Kevin places to make sure he's not cheating on her. This leads to her arrest when she accidentally gets in the middle of a near-shoot out at an office complex.
Now for the medical issues...
Addison is treating two pregnant women who she finds out are married to the same man.
Naomi & Sam are treating a woman who supposedly has Alzheimers. When it's discovered that she does not they perform a surgery to give her a few lucid moments so she can give her husband the OK to put her in a nursing home.
After Pete forbids Addison from getting involved with the pregnant women she decides to orchestrate a meeting where they both find out the truth about their husband. They form a bond after the first wife gives birth & it convinces the second to keep her baby even though it has a fatal heart defect.
Addison talks to Pete about Derek & her trust issues & says that one day she could very well love him too.
The very last scene gives us a twist with Dell who's been begging Addison for her old office all day. When she & Naomi walk in they see a 6 year old girl named Betsy & Dell tells them that he's her father. He had her when he was 17 & her mother is an addict who relapsed the previous week.
Overall, I thought this episode was probably the weakest of the season. I usually bawl my eyes out at any medical emergency storyline & with this episode there was nothing. They tried to hard to make storylines out of things that weren't really storylines...like Charlotte not telling Cooper the truth & Violet being upset about it. Those were moments that could have been cut to make the stories of the women who were married to the same man better...OR to even enhance the storyline of Dell & his daughter! At any rate, all doors are open & how HAPPY was I to see Violet & Cooper all cute & cuddly in her office. I want more of that. :)
What do you all think? What couple would you like to see more focus on? Better yet, who would you like to see paired together in the future?
