I’m sure Private Practice fans already know the show’s second-season finale, “Yours, Mine & Ours,” is coming up this Thursday, April 30.
There are a lot of twists and turns in store for viewers:
Violet’s decision regarding Pete and Sheldon takes a back seat when a dangerously grief-stricken patient appears.
Naomi is forced to choose between remaining at Oceanside Wellness and taking a new position at Pacific Wellcare.
Dell becomes worried about his daughter when Heather arrives in town, fueled by drugs.
And Morgan’s baby gets ready to enter the world while Addison is coming clean to herself about her true feelings for Noah (Josh …read more

Woosh!
That’s the sound of Private Practice’s second season rushing by. After tonight’s brand-new episode “What You Do For Love,” the first fresh hour since March 26, there will be just one installment left — next Thursday’s season finale “Yours, Mine & Ours.”
Coming up at 10:01pm-ish ET today, Addison runs into Noah when she takes an endangered pregnant patient with heart problems to St. Ambrose, Sam begins having second thoughts about his friendship with Naomi when he notices she often disappears from work without explanation, and Violet’s visibly pregnant state makes Pete and Lisa’s relationship more difficult.
Idina Menzel, the Tony-winning …read more

“So What’s the Purpose of a Platypus?,” the April 6th episode of Saving Grace, delivers a good-sized wallop, both literally and figuratively.
During the hour, a vicious attack on Maggie (special guest star Kathy Baker) at Louie’s interrupts her plans to marry Grace’s brother-in-law Doug (Chris Mulkey). Meanwhile, Johnny and Rhetta’s letter-writing campaign to save Leon Cooley’s life hits a snag of its own when a damaging video surfaces.
The sneak peek for the episode is available in the earlier preview post, and follow the jump for a slew of stills that reveal quite a bit about the latest developments in …read more

Preview photos for “But There’s Clay,” tonight’s brand-new episode of Saving Grace, are here.
The hour features marvelous guest star Kathy Baker, whom I’ve adored since her Picket Fences days back in the 1990s. Saying that I’m looking forward to her performance on the series is definitely an understatement. Baker will return this season to reprise her role; yet, I wouldn’t mind her hanging around as a recurring or even regular player.
But enough about what I want. Check out a sneak peek for the episode in the earlier preview post and follow the jump for those stills.

Swingtown’s Josh Hopkins reprises his role as Addison’s colleague Dr. Noah Barnes on the “What Women Want” episode of Private Practice. Didn’t Mel Gibson star as a male chauvinist in a big-screen movie with the same name? Yes, he did, alongside Mad About You’s Helen Hunt.
During the March 19 episode, Addison and Violet deal with a mentally unbalanced patient whose baby has died; Cooper treats a patient requiring partial removal of his jaw due to cancer; Dell copes with the absence of his daughter after his ex moves to pursue a new job; and Sam and Addison realize …read more

Poor Derek and Seattle Grace. On the last episode, “I Will Follow You into the Dark,” he made a depressing career decision, and now Meredith must somehow persuade him to reverse it on the March 19 Grey’s Anatomy episode “Stand By Me.”
Also, Izzie continues hiding her medical condition from everyone, Cristina finally receives the opportunity to perform her first solo surgery, and the entire hospital population gets excited about Mark’s upcoming face transplant surgery. I just hope they don’t show the last in all its graphic and mesmerizing glory.
Guest stars include Larry Sullivan of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation …read more

Enjoy “The Sex Issue,” the March 19 episode of Ugly Betty, because it’s the last new episode fans are going to get until May 7. Over the course of the subsequent seven-week hiatus, ABC will present an hourlong comedy lineup of women-friendly sitcoms featuring newcomer In the Motherhood and Emmy-winning sophomore series Samantha Who?. I can’t complain about that temporary programming too much.
During “The Sex Issue,” Daniel and Wilhelmina get their hopes all high in the sky that a sex-focused issue of Mode will be a ridiculous success. Elsewhere, Matt appears reluctant to make his relationship with …read more

The promo for the March 19th episode of Bones called “The Salt in the Wounds” cracks me up.
What adult wants to return to high school voluntarily, even if it is to investigate a creepy murder involving a dead teenage volleyball player whose body is found petrified in a mound of salt? Okay — maybe I’d go back of my own free will for that.
The victim is missing 16-year-old Ashley, and Team Brennan and Booth not only discover she was pregnant, but so are almost half the girls on her volleyball team that don’t already have a child. This …read more

Sadly to say — at least for those of us who thoroughly enjoyed Christina Ricci’s recent guest stint as Grace’s temporary partner Abby Charles — it’s back to Dewey and Darko on the next episode of Saving Grace, March 23rd’s “The Live Ones.”
Butch’s partner Bobby also reaches the end of his undercover assignment, although there’s no way to predict whether that’s a good or bad thing, and Clay’s new friend Benjamin Cooley, played by terrific 16-year-old Lost actor Malcolm David Kelley, helps out at the police department, too.
As for the case of the week, it involves a dead woman found …read more
