''Private Practice'': Shoe Horny

While shamelessly showing off excessive cleavage in the workplace, Violet suggested that Coop log on to the Web and find a ''date,'' and Addison joined Pete to save a baby who had just been born in a bunk bed. Addison then spent the night with ''Batgirl'' in her arms. ''She should get to feel wanted,'' Addison declared, ''at least for one night.'' Is that self-pity I hear, Add?

The self-pity was getting around last night. Coop to Batgirl: ''When you grow up, if at all possible, be a lesbian. Guys are stupid.'' It's kind of a variation on what my dad used to advise me: ''Stay single and raise your kids that way.'' Dad's always been a charmer.

Speaking of getting around, Coop didn't fare so poorly last night. He got it on with Charlotte. We always knew that sourpuss had it in her. Well, now she really had it in her.

And finally, after Addison and Pete ran around a park like an alternate-universe Scully and Mulder — only hunting another newborn baby rather than aliens — Addison tried to revive the baby, but failed. ''You shouldn't be alone tonight,'' Pete told her. ''I won't be,'' she replied. And she wasn't. She turned to her friends Naomi and Sam (though she didn't know she'd find them both — um, where is their child during all this?) for some celebrate-the-moments-of-your-life wine and a good, motherly hug from Naomi. Lovely.

So, TV Watchers, would you want the guy you went on one date with who stole your shoe and deposited it in his rectum to call you and end it personally, or would you want your friend/his therapist to do it for him? Or should it all just go unsaid? Should this Safe Surrender business be a regular part of PP, bringing the doctors out into the field every week? What's up with Addison's moments of total self-absorption? (''I don't get stood up. I'm Addison, which means something!'') But the real question is...when you turn Private Practice on, does it return the favor? Happy Thanksgiving!
