So this week was a crossover episode of “Grey’s” and “Private Practice,” with Derek’s little sister showing up in Seattle to see him, though he really wasn’t thrilled. We learned she used to be a druggy basically.

I did get a lot of chuckles out of this episode, thanks to Christina mostly. I loved the look on Derek’s face when he woke up with her in their bed. Even better was his “ET” explanation to Hunt, that Christina and Meredith had the same connection E.T. and Elliot did, and they have to just accept it.

This episode did something I thought was impossible . . . they made that annoying April likable! Everyone was teasing her for being a virgin at her age, and at the end she let them all have it, telling them all the things they were ignoring about themselves (or oblivious to). As Meredith said “Oh April, I’m beginning to like you!”

Derek mentioned building the dream house, which I liked hearing. Now if we could just SEE it.

The major let down, of course, was McSteamy sexing it up with Derek’s sister, and being seen by Lexie, who had just been told by April that Mark was still in love with her.

As for “Private Practice,” I feel like Sam and Addison are now not only being shoved down my throat, but now the show is trying to write back stories to somehow make us feel that they are more believable. This show dealt with the return of Dell’s drunk driving killer, which brought up memories of a child molester Sam let die on the table years before. Of course only Addison knew this secret, so we are to believe it’s a reason they are oddly bonded. Whatever!

The best part of the episode was Naomi basically telling Addison she was a cheater and a crummy friend, something Sheldon pushed her to do to make herself feel better. However I got the bizarre feeling they might try and put Sheldon and Naomi together as a couple. Let me just say that will make me really turn this show off for good.

Next Week Dell’s daughter Betsy returns, and it seemed like she wanted to live with Cooper. Charlotte is NOT going to go for that, but frankly at this point it’s about the only thing I have to look forward on the Sam and Addison Show.
