Grey’s Anatomy and Private Practice: October 14th Thoughts
I’m having a hard time recalling what happened on “Grey’s” this week because I was just so upset by “Private Practice” afterwards.
Jackson Avery put the moves on Teddy, which she scolded him for later. However these two are clearly going to become an item. I don’t know if I like them together or not yet though.
Christina and Owen went house/apartment hunting for a place of their own. Christina still isn’t fully over her issues yet. I hope she hurries up, cause Jackson is moving on on Teddy to take her spot.
Lexie became a little upset that Meredith and April were getting closer. Meredith, who learned she had a hostile uterus, told Lexie that she had a miscarriage and April was one of the few who knew. I still can’t believe they’ve done such a miracle and made me start to like April.
Mark, who I’m not to happy with after sleeping with Derek’s sister, and Arizona clashed a bit. Mark and Callie are BFFs and Arizona was a bit threatened by that. By the end of the show she took Mark out on a date, just the two of them, to try and get to know him better . . . . for Callie’s sake.
Over to “Private Practice,” Dell’s sister (or Cousin or something) dropped Betsy off at the practice saying she tried, but she didn’t have kids for a reason. Nobody knew what to do, except Violet who felt they had to take care of her because Dell would have stepped up for any one of them. Violet wanted to take her, but Pete had issues, and Cooper sided with PEte saying they just got married and have a young baby, Betsy on the other hand is going to need a lot of therapy.
There was a clash between Sam and Addison as well. Addison has always wanted a child, but Sam is done raising kids.
By the end of the show Violet begged someone in the practice to come forward and take Betsy, but nobody would. She was sent off to foster care. HEART BREAKING! As if this show hasn’t been on my nerves, they go and do this? I was so furious!
The previews for next week have a sexy new doctor (Christian De La Fuente) catching Addison’s eye. For real? She just got Sam and now this? I think I need to bang my head on my desk.
I love both of these shows, but I am equally pissed off after the last couple of weeks.
I love Grey’s, but it pissed me off to see Lexie catch Mark with Little Shepherd. THEN, this week, Private Practice! I am seriously struggling with Addison and Sam, particularly since I simply don’t like Sam. Now, I am beginning not to like Addison. Shonda and Co keep pulling this character back and forth from completely likable to someone you just want to smack. I hated her initially on Grey’s and then loved her after she gave up Derek. She comes to Practice to get involved with a married man? After she already cheated on her husband and guilted him into 2 additional seasons of commitment? Now she begins dating her best friend’s ex-husband? When she came to Practice, she wanted a baby. Now she has this opportunity to adopt this great little girl who desperately needs a stable family, and she passes on it. Ugh.
This character is suppose to be the lead of the show. I truly wish Shonda would make her character someone we can (consistently) care about – and I really wish Naomi had been there to deal with the Betsy situation. I agree with Violet, they all did a bad thing.

IMO – it’s the writers who did a bad thing here. What was the point of bringing Betsy back for that episode. At the end of last season, I really thought Violet or Addison was going to take her in but then since Dell had family, that made more sense. Now this? This was the perfect chance for the show to redeem Addison and make her care about something more than the next bed she was going to hop into.
