I’m trying hard to remember what happened on this big “cross-over” event (I need to start taking notes!) . . . but honestly I was a bit bored by it. I remember more of the second hour, because that’s really the story I was interested in, saving Erica. I was so afraid she was going to end up living, but being a vegetable or in a coma. Thankfully they actually strayed from the normal “kill the patient” formula and spared her.

On “Grey’s” I loved loved loved Derek and Amelia working together on the operation to save Erica . . . and mending fences. I always hated the way in the past Derek treated her. He was so nasty . . . then again he does the same thing to his wife.

Christina and Owen entered therapy . . .but it seems to have just made things worse. Christina felt Owen knew going in she didn’t want a baby, but he couldn’t comprehend how ANYONE couldn’t want a baby. Really? REALLY? This from a DOCTOR! I mean you’d think if anyone would understand some people don’t want to have kids it would be a doctor! I don’t know, the hope for these two is dwindling with each episode.

On “Private Practice” I found myself liking a storyline with Sam for once. Though that was because it didn’t involve him in Addison’s bed. I really like the storyline they have going on with him and his long lost sister who is suffering from misdiagnosed bi-polar disorder.

I am sure what they are doing with Pete and Violet. I keep getting this feeling that Pete is regretting his discion to leave, and is trying to make amends with Violet. If this is about Pete wanting Violet back . . . OH HELL NO! If it’s about them trying to get along for Lucas’ sake . . . okay. But I just keep getting this feeling Pete wants Violet back. Sorry buddy, you blew that one. Meanwhile Violet’s paramedic Ryan wanted more from her . . but she wasn’t ready to give it. All she could give right now was no strings attached, mind blowing sex. He said he’d take it. I really hope though that it becomes more than just that. I get Violet is not ready to rush into something more, but it’s nice to see her with someone who treats her well.

Finally I absolutely adored the scenes between Charlotte and Erica before her surgery. Erica asking Charlotte to do things for Mason, and also saying Mason would need a mother . . . When Charlotte stopped her and said she’d always been Mason’s mama, I got a little misty! I also loved Charlotte’s interaction with Mason, explaining how the surgery worked and about the tumor. When he thanked her for being honest with him, my heart melted! I can totally see Cooper and Charlotte begin talking about having a baby now! Forget Addison, Charlotte has become the star of “Private Practice.”
