So last night was the big cross-over of Bailey from “Grey’s” to “Private Practice.” This is mostly a thoughts post on the shows, and I have to go back and watch “Practice” over again as I missed some things (as usual).

I loved Callie’s dad showing up on “Grey’s,” and bringing Father Lonigan from “Passions” to help pray away Callie’s gay. Callie standing up to her father, as well as Arizona’s talk about her own father’s reaction, were the highlights of the episode I thought.

Most of the episode focused on the Mercy Wester’s invading, and they were damn good doctor’s it seems. Everyone was on their toes and Izzie made a mistake that cost Bailey’s patient a kidney transplant (paving the way for her to go to “Private Practice” to get one). The mistake also cost Izzie her job, she was the latest to be fired.

Not only did she lose her job, she left Alex a “Dear John” note basically saying she was gone. Ouch!

I don’t know, for most of the show I sat there hating the Mercy Westers, loathing what was happening to the show. Then I realized I guess it made for damn good drama if I was getting so pissed off. Yet there is a fine line, piss the fans off too much and they walk!

Bailey headed to Oceanside Wellness to see about using her patient’s sister as a possible transplant. Of course then came the news she was HIV positive and not a candidate. The woman didn’t care, she was going to die without this, so if she contracted AIDS at least she had a shot at living a little while longer than she has right now. Drama!

Sheldon learned that Pete had the baby, and they finally took the paternity test. It’s Pete’s! I think this is gunna be the end of Sheldon on the show now. Violet still couldn’t be happy about the news.

Addison’s pregnant woman from last season (Noah’s wife) showed up wanting to know if she slept with her husband. Addison didn’t, but she did admit she fell in love with him. The wife said that was worse, sex was just an act, but now she’ll never know if Noah is thinking about Addison or her. Bailey later let Addison have it as well, saying she may think she did the right thing by not sleeping with the guy, but she still cheated as she stole his affections away from his wife.

I kinda got the feeling this was paving the way for Noah’s return possibly? Not sure, but after this episode, could we accept her and Noah together after Bailey basically told her she still did wrong?
