Sorry for posting this a few days after the episode aired, but here is this week's show rundown.
- Cooper has a 12-year-old patient who is sexually active and her mother not only knows, but Cooper sees her as condoning the activity. He goes as far as to threaten to call DCF because he thinks the mom is not doing her job as a parent to keep her daughter safe. Violet and Naomi do not necessarily side with the mother, but they do think that she is doing what she thinks is best for her daughter. When the doctors find out that the daughter is pregnant and tell her and her mother, the mother immediately jumps in and says that she will have an abortion. The daughter then proclaims that she will keep the baby. Cooper again gets mad because he thinks it is not right that the mother chose now to start parenting and put her foot down. But in the end the mother admits that she screwed up being a parent and Cooper supports her.
- Sam is called as an expert witness is a malpractice lawsuit. He is on the stand to testify that the doctor being sued did all he could in the medical case that lead to a man dying, but when cross examined Sam's own integrity and medical ability is called into question. He gets slammed on the stand and goes back to the practice to lick his wounds. The lawyer wants him to take the stand again so that he can do damage control. To prepare, Sam goes back over every detail of the case so that he is very prepared. While looking at the material, Sam notices that the doctor being sued is covering up a mistake that he made. The doctor even asks Sam to lie on the stand. Sam struggles with this and when he is finally up there he tells the truth. This leads to the doctor's lawyer, who also happens to be one of his best friends, getting very angry at him.
- At the beginning of the episode, Naomi notices that Dell is late to work. She promptly reprimands him. Dell, in other instances throughout the episode, continues to act out. He says he is sick of always doing the right thing. He is obviously responding to his daughter being taken from him and is letting his personal life seep into his work life. At the end of the episode, Sam yells at Dell for his bad attitude and tells him to get his act together.
- Pete is treating a young child with allergies who keeps talking about his really cool mom, who turns out to be guest star Idina Menzel (real life wife to Taye Diggs). The son knows his mother has been lonely since she got divorced and is trying to set her up with Pete. When the son again comes in to see Pete, he immediately says he has to go to the bathroom as an excuse to get Pete and his mom alone. Pete does ask her on a date, which Violet earlier said was unethical. (More on Violet in a minute.) Pete is even upfront with Violet about the date, telling her right away that he is going out with the mom.
- Violet is becoming self conscious about her weight and the fact that she eats a lot of food. She is also visibly becoming jealous of Pete and his other relationships. She says she is not jealous of Pete because she wants to be with him, but because she just does not want him to be with anyone else. In other Violet news, while she and Charlotte have seemingly become friends in the past few episodes, this week they got in a fight. While talking about Pete and his inability to change, Charlotte tells Violet that she slept with Archer. Charlotte meant this as a way to prove that people can change, but Violet immediately gets pissed saying that even though Cooper forgave her, it is not OK that she cheated. Needless to say, they are probably not going to be as friendly as they were for about the week they were friends.
- Naomi did not really have a large role in this episode, but she did, at the end of the episode, go on a date with Duncan, Sam's best friend who happens to be the lawyer mentioned earlier in this post. She keeps dating close to home, therefore her relationships are, sadly, always in Sam's face.
- Noah's wife, Morgan, is having pregnancy complications and of course Addision has to swoop in to save her. Morgan even opens up to Addison about her marriage, which must be awfully awkward for Addison. Morgan goes as far as to say that her marriage with Noah is extremely rocky and the baby will save their marriage. Noah, after his wife almost dies, gets freaked out and tells Addison that he is ashamed because he does not think about his wife anymore since he is always and only thinking about Addison. Morgan tells Addison that she noticed Noah would not look at her after she woke up post coding. Morgan then sends Addison to look for Noah before her surgery, after he stops responding to her phone calls. Noah says in his soul he feels like he is cheating on Morgan. Addison tells him that he has to put his feelings aside to be by his wife's side during her surgery. At the very end of the episode, Noah shows up at Addison's door. With very few words exchanged, they passionately kiss and then Addison pushes him out the door.
