On “Grey’s” we had a “What If” episode with Meredith wondering what if her mother never died, what if she had a good father . . . how would things have changed? It was fun to see how different every one was, and to have Ellis back and as The Chief. She was a power hungry monster, Bailey was weak and timid, Addison was strong while Derek was a failure, George flunked out and is still alive somewhere, Christine was an uber-bitch, Alex was a geek and engaged to Meredith . . . Basically everyone was totally opposite of how they really are . . . well maybe not Christina?

As I said, it was a fun episode, but it seemed that the point was you could play the “What If” game all you wanted, but perhaps some things were fated to be . . . As the episode wound down it seemed like everyone was slowly morphing into who they really were. Alex was caught cheating, Addison was consumed with a baby, Bailey found a backbone, and Meredith and Derek ended up together at the bar together . . . I did love seeing the one dead doctor (killed during the crazed gunman spree) back.

Too bad we couldn’t get a “What If” episode of “Private Practice” and erase some of this show huh? Like “What If” they didn’t save Pete! Pete caught Violet kissing Paramedic Scott and flipped. He didn’t want her seeing him anymore. Hello, you’ve been boning girls in elevators Mr. Man! Thankfully Violet unleashed holy hell on Pete, reminding him that he left her, he doesn’t get to tell her what she can or can’t do anymore. What an arse!

Erica got into an accident with Mason in the car, which infuriated Cooper. Long story short, Cooper and Charlotte convinced Erica to try and fight to survive. This of course is going to lead to the upcoming cross-over episode.

Sam got a call and had to bail someone out of the drunk tank in jail. She eerily looked very much like Sam and Naomi’s daughter, but we quickly learned in the final moments of the show that it’s his sister.

Addison and Jake went away on a conference, and basically the sexual tension between them built. He turned her offers for sex down. Based on the previews, it looks like she hooks back up with Sam . . . . WHY !?!?!?!? Again we need a “What If” episode that sticks! What if Sam and Naomi never broke up 🙂

Finally the deeply disturbing story of an army vet who returned from Iraq with a shameful secret, he had been raped by his sergeant. The story was apparently inspired by a Newsweek report last year on the rising number of reported sexual assaults of men in the military.
