Full Summary[]

Addison treats two pregnant women who share a husband. It is only due to finding that Laura's baby has DiGeorge syndrome that Daniel brings his other wife to be examined by Addison.

While out with Peter and Sam, Cooper shows his relationship with Charlotte. The next morning, the whole office has learned of his relationship.

During a night with Kevin, Addison becomes turned on. It is then in the heat of the moment that he whispers to her that he loves her. It causes her to revert to when she cheated on Derek, as she later tells him when she is sitting in the back of a police car after following him to work.

Violet is fed up with the construction going on below them, so she goes to investigate. She learns that it is Charlotte building a competitive practice. She refuses to mention it to Cooper.

Addison and Naomi learn that Dell has a daughter when they find that he has converted the storage room into his office. His daughter, Betsey, was born when he was 17 and her mother is a drug addict who has relapsed.

The two wives who hate each other realize that they can trust each other and not their husband.

At the bar, Sam and Pete are hanging out. However, Sam is out of practice.

Frances had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. When her husband was helping her out of the tub, she fell and hit her head.

Naomi suspected she didn't have Alzheimer's, but instead had normal-pressure hydrocephalus. She was too frail for neurosurgery, but Naomi suggested that they could do a spinal tap, which would remove enough fluid for her to be lucid temporarily. They did the tap and she was lucid and convinced Henry to put her in a residential facility.
