Rewatching 'Private Practice': "In Which Cooper Finds a Port in His Storm" 10/113
As a new segment on WhatSamWatches, I will now be doing more informal reviews/commentaries on what I'm watching. And it'll include shows I'll be rewatching just because I feel like it. I know I just did a review on Private Practice not that long ago but I'm not ready for it to be over. So I'm binging the show from the beginning all over again. So since I rewatched the seventh episode last time, we're now onto the eighth episode of Private Practice.
In Which Cooper Finds a Port in His Storm
Poor Dell. He’s just trying to be nice and everyone’s just being…dismissive.
Addison and Violet make for very good friends later, but it’s a shame they don’t become close friends until the later seasons. I always liked their friendship more than Addison and Naomi’s. Mostly because I don’t think they have as much in common. After a while, it’s hard to see why they’re even friends in the first place, to be honest.
This scene of Addison and Violet complimenting each other is so sweet and pure. I love it so much.
Naomi’s not very good at hiding stuff from people.
So the guys want to “talk smack” the girls, but they really don’t know how, do they? Instead, they’re just trying to figure out what they’re talking about,
As someone that’s given up coffee, I love that Violet’s the one person in the office that (openly) prefers tea. So, instead of getting a coffee, she asks for a frappachino with extra whip.
Addison, Violet, and Carl
Carl seems like such an innocent guy at first.
I’m glad Addison tells Pete off a little. No one stands up Addison Forbes Montgomery.
I find it odd that Violet doesn’t do more to advocate for Carl. Instead, she just seems super judgemental towards Carl in this episode.
But at least Violet doesn’t outright say that Carl is her patient, even though they do share information in that office.
The fact that Cooper tells Pete that Addison’s “horse” (AKA Carl) is a lucky guy makes it sound like he slept with her. Of course, we know that he didn’t but, it’s still a little strange. So no wonder Pete looks at him weird.
At the very least, it’s impressive and refreshing (as Addison puts it) that Carl is honest about going to therapy. It’s not that big of a deal nowadays but back then, it wasn’t as widely accepted.
Violet’s right: Carl’s not ready to stop going to therapy yet. But I find it odd how confident he already is. I mean, he and Addison only went on one date. And it got cut short because Addison was on call.
I completely forgot about the “I can only find one shoe” line. At first, it seems sweet because Addison’s been watching the baby all night. But now, we know Carl took it
