Private Practice ReCap 11/12/09 – The Hard Part

While hiking in the hills, Addison and Sam chat about the time they almost dated in med school. The conversation is interrupted when they hear a call for help. A man and his pregnant wife crashed over a cliff and the woman is still trapped inside the car. With no cell phone signal in the mountains, they are on their own. The woman’s due date is today.
The man, Jake, has a collapsed lung. Sam quickly improvises a chest tube that needs to be unclogged every half hour. He drags Jake closer to his wife in the car. The plan is for Addison to keep tabs on both of them while Sam goes for help. As Addison treats the woman, Kara, the car starts rolling down the mountain. Addison struggles to gain control of the runaway vehicle before it crashes into a tree.
With Addison now hurt and trapped, Sam can’t leave. Without someone to unclog the chest tube, Jake will die. They are going to have to ride things out through the night. Not an easy task since Kara’s water breaks and the baby is in a breech position. Sam now has no choice but to go for help in the dark of night.
Kara is in a panick, putting both her and the baby in jeopardy. Addison tells Kara that she must fight to deliver this baby and survive. The baby arrives. It’s a girl! Addison yells out to Jake that he has a beautiful daughter. But Jake doesn’t respond. Addison and Kara fear the worst.
Addison struggles to escape from the car but it’s hopeless. Then a light streams down from above. Helicopters hover as Sam makes his way down to the area flanked by a team of rescue workers. He sees that Jake is still alive. As the rescue team works to free Kara from the car, she promises to name her baby Addison. Suddenly, Kara’s wound ruptures and she dies. Addison is devastated. This scene was beyond heartbreaking.
Pete and Sheldon literally trade war stories over a game of darts. When Sheldon tries to pick up a woman, Pete foils his flirting with some of his own. Sheldon accuses him of still being hung up on Violet which means he’ll regret nights like this should she ever come around. When a woman tries to pick up Pete, he blows her off and sends her Sheldon’s way.
A virgin bridegroom who wanted to rise to the occasion on his wedding night took a few too many pills and is suffering with the side effects – he is the owner of a never-ending erection. Thankfully, Oceanside Wellness has a new sexologist on staff to help.
The bride shows up and promptly heaves up whatever appetizer they served at the reception once she learns what Charlotte must do to help her husband. Violet discovers that the bride is pregnant. Emaculate conception?? Her groom is a virgin. It looks like the bride has a lot of explaining to do.
After Violet accuses Charlotte of putting up a tough exterior because she’s afraid of getting to know her patients, Charlotte tells the groom about how her first fairytale marriage ended because she bolted when things got hard. This convinces the groom to give his bride another chance.
An eavesdropping Violet is surprised to learn that Charlotte was married. She’s even more shocked to learn that her story may have been one big lie. Later Charlotte tells Cooper she has something to tell him. Was it a lie or not??
Sam stops by to check on Addison. They pick up their conversation about what might have been had they hooked up in med school instead of marrying other people. They share a kiss. It’s nice. But then Sam says, “You are no Naomi.” She responds, “You’re no Derek.” They both start laughing. I guess this is one storyline that won’t happen. Having Addison and Sam in a relationship could make things a little awkward around Oceanside Wellness.
What did you think of tonight’s episode? Would you like to see Sam and Addison as a couple??

Are you f**king kidding me? The idea of them together makes me sick. That’s gross and wrong. They don’t have any chemistry.

What fell out of the bride’s purse that Violet saw? Looked like condoms to me- nothing that suggested pregnancy!

I was so relived to hear the laugh, putting those two together will be insane and very uncool seeing as Addison is Naomi’s best friend.

Saltine crackers fell out of her purse! Typical pregnancy
