PP: "I didn't get my way"

Last night's Private Practice episode tackled another difficult medical dilemma while also furthering the storylines at the center of this season. Below is a short recap of the episode.

- Dink and Maya decide they want to get married and attempt to raise their child as a family. Naomi is still refusing to deal with the problem, so Sam is stuck handling things on his own. Sam does not want the kids to get married, but then he sees them together while Maya gets her first ultrasound and he sees that she is truly happy. So by the time Naomi is ready to become a part of the discussion, decisions have already been made and Sam had already given them permission to get married.
- Cooper is dating around again and he is also mad that Violet is taking sides by letting Charlotte live with her.
- While talking to Naomi, Violet finally opened up about why she put up a wall between her and her son, Lucas. Violet was not dismissing her child, in fact she loves him dearly. Instead, Violet understood how damaged she was and she gave Lucas to Pete to care for him because she wanted to protect him.
- While Sam is drunk, he and Addison kiss. The next day, they analyze the kiss and almost repeat the event, but Sheldon interrupts them. Later, Addison drops hints to Naomi who laughs about the idea of Addison and Sam together, even going as far as to say it would make Addison a horrible person. So when Sam tells her he wants to be with her, Addison denies him even though we know she really wants to be with him. Addison says she needs to show allegiance to Naomi and tells Sam she can't listen to her heart.

As for the medical drama at the center of the episode, this week was about a family that had a baby so his cord blood could save their twin daughters who both have leukemia. But when there is only enough cord blood to save one child, the family wrestles with having to decide which daughter deserves to live. It was heartbreaking to watch, especially when Cooper had to tell the girls that only one of them could get better.
