Pete, meanwhile, was busy using his unique skills to help an elderly couple, Sylvie and Stan, save their upcoming nuptials. (In order to help Ari keep track, I believe the score now is Eastern Medicine 3, Western Medicine 1 thanks to Sam and Addison's work with Rebecca.) Sylvie brought her fiancé in because he was fainting at inopportune moments, and she even made sure to share tidbits about their crazy-good sex life. (What does this show think it is? Tell Me You Love Me?) Pete solved their problem, which had something to do with painless migraines, but the plotline would have been fairly irrelevant had not Sylvie also served as Cupid, pushing Addison on Pete. Sylvie helped him come to the revelation that Addison is a lot like his late wife, which would explain Pete's general coolness toward our protagonist. But as we know from the trailer for next week's episode, his chilly demeanor won't last for too much longer.
Before we finish, we have to once again address Violet's rapidly declining maturity. I have to say it: Seriously, Violet? You spent an episode chasing after a sample of "pee-pee"? Seriously? I thought the first few shows firmly established that Violet is indeed a stalker, but the writers don't have to make her go all Alex Forrest on us to prove it. At this point, I'm not sure how McCrazy can continue to practice psychiatric medicine with so many of her own screws loose. For the majority of the episode, Violet freaked out about having her ex's current girlfriend using Oceanside Wellness' services and demanded that Naomi tell her the reason for her visit. (Turns out it was a bladder infection from, you guessed it, too much sex. Ouch, that must sting Violet.) But Violet eventually listened to her head, and decided she was better off confronting Cami, who apparently was following the age-old adage of keeping your enemies close. Violet told Cami that she had nothing to worry about, Violet's evidence being "You're, like, two years old." (Really, Violet? Because I could have sworn that you are.) But Cami soon revealed that Allan may not be as over Violet as we all thought he was. Which means (sigh), we get to look forward to more McCrazy in episodes to come.
Finally, are any of you, like me, beginning to think that some of these doctors aren't very good at their jobs? First, Violet told Addison she can unload on her, only to prove to be a pretty cruddy listener for a psychiatrist. Then Naomi who supposedly helps couples conceive and deliver "miracle babies" told Addison that she was hesitant to tell her about her ability to conceive in fear that she would be too hopeful for results.
What do you think, TV Watchers? Would you go to Oceanside Wellness for medical treatment? Is Addison and Naomi's friendship doomed? Will Cooper ever confess his feelings to Violet? And finally, did you confuse the Arm & Hammer guy with Mr. Clean, as Sam and I did? (And while we're on the subject, who is your favorite bald character of all time?)
