Private Practice

I'm going for sexy but. but,uh,not slutty.

Smart but not boring.

It's a little.

P.T.A.Mom-bake sale.

Is it really?

Who. who is this guy?

Do you like him? Is he cute?

He asked me out on a date.

I-I haven't been on a date since c-college.

He could be a homeless troll for all I care. I love him. I love him.

I love him because I'm going on a date.

oh,he's here.

Will you please just. just tell him I'll be down in a second?

All right.

Coming.

Cooper and I are next door at sam's playing poker and having some drinks. I thought you'd want to join us.

You want to join us?

You're a little bit drunk.

And you,too,could be a little bit drunk.

You're drunk and you're flirty. Go away.

Or.

I could come in,and we could actually get to know one another outside of work.

You're attracted to me. You admitted it.

Yeah.

Well,I'm not attracted to you anymore.

Good night,pete.

You're attracted to me right now.

What'd you do with my date?

That wasn't your date.

It was my date.

My unsuitable,flirty,drunk.

oh-so-attractive date.

you have a really packed day,so I had them add an extra shot.

Oh,bless yoU.

Today's files. And,um,I think 7-down is "requited.

" Nice.

Thanks.

So.

how'd it go?

Not so good. I am so out of practice.

All I could talk about was. was uteruses and. and sperm and eggs.

I think the guy thought I was trying tget a baby out of him.

He left skid marks,he drove away so fast.

It's not easy getting back out there.

I had a date last week.

It was a complete nightmare.

The guy spent the whole night asking advice.

You're dating?

Everybody's dating.

except me.

Good morning,addison.

okay,I've got angie padgett and her husband ray coming in for a follow-up.

She's ovulating,so the fertility issue may be with ray.

I see that marilyn sullivan's coming in?

it's actually her daughter tess. She fell down and hurt her arm.

She did,again?

Uh,I'll drop by.

I've,uh,got some samples of this new M.S.

I can pitch in if anybody needs me today.

Me,too. I'm booked,but,you know,just all routine stuff.

Hey,you. you want to help me get angie pregnant?

Man,I wish that was as dirty ait sounded.

yeah,being able to make a couple happy,that's the good stuff.

You will love the fertility game.

Yeah,I will.

Okay,on the count of three. One,two.

I'm sorry. How'd this happen?

I missed the curb when I was walking home from the bus.

I'm a klutz.

She reads while she's walking.

One time,she nearly wandered into traffic.

You should talk. I mean,you read at the movies.

Only the ones you drag me to.

Okay. Well,reading. good.

Reading while walking. not so much.

Dr. Sam,the famous writer.

No,you're the one.

You're the one. That thing in the "times magazine" last week was great.

I sit on my ass all day. I have a lot of time to think.

here.

-is everything okay at home? -Yeah.

Still just the two of you?

No,mom does a lot of dating 'cause guys dig M.S.

'Cause this bruise on your arm,it looks like someone grabbed you,hard.

You know,if something wasn't right at home or school,I might be able to help.

I suck at walking. That's the crisis.

Don't freak out on me,Dr. Freedman.

All right.

Good news,angie. Your tests came back. Everything is fine.

you are fertile. And you still have plenty of viable eggs left.

Okay. That'S.

I was worried.

Great. That's great,honey,but,um,does.

Let's not race to any conclusions.

We're just gonna run some tests on you,ray,and then we'll go from there.

Okay. Two doctors.

I'm sensing twins.

all right. Let's start with a sperm samplE.

uh,Dr. Bennett in? Sam?

Yeah,but he's busy with a patient.

Can you call him on the,uh,the.

intercom?

Yeah. Is it.

Does it not look urgent?

I walked here. on foot.

Okay.

I don't know if you can count insomnia as hospital business.

I've h three hours in three days.

Place wouldn't run without me,not that you care about the.

the.

-yeah. -This is what I'm talking about.

Aphasia.

Yeah,that comes with sleep deprivation.

Obviously I cannot do my job if I can't m-m-make.

-words? -Words.

All right. Any shortness of breath when you lie down,chest pains?

No. And no.

I've run all the tests. thyroid,everything.

It's. it's all fine.

Yesterday I parked my car. somewhere.

-sorry. -It's not funny.

If this got out at st. Ambrose.

All right,now I can prescribe a sleep aid.

No pills. They don't work for me.

Well,there are some new options.

No pills.

I had a little problem.

-What kind of a problem? -The kind I'm not talking about anymore.

Can you help me or not?

Yeah,okay.

Uh,well,I guess we could go with the alternative route. I could speak to pete.

Fine.

Send me to the quack.

I don't want to date.

I mean,I do,but I want someone with purpose,someone real,someone who wants a future.

Someone who wants kids?

-Is that desperate? -No.

No,it's not desperate. It'S.

-focused. -Right?

My point is,you are out there looking.

I mean,even violet is out there looking. Maybe I should be out there looking for what I want.

Yeah,and what you want is a husband and kids.

Dr. Bennett,Dr. Montgomery.

Angie. Ray's up,uh,at the lab still,but good news.

his tests are viable. Everything's gonna be fine.

Yep,there should be no reason why the two of youcan't get pregnant.

Oh,no,no,no. I was hoping.

you all right?

When ray comes back,you have to tell him he's infertile.

I'm sorry?

You have to tell him it's his fault we can't get pregnant.

you've been lying to your husband about trying to have children?

Not exactly. I just.

i just was on the pill for years. And then I got a cervical cap.

That's lying.

I have my reasons.

Which are?

I just. I don't want to have kids.

Look,ray. he comes from a big family.

He's good and kind,and he adores me so much.

How can you tell someone who loves you like that that you don't want to make a baby with them?

I'm sorry,but we can't lie to him about his test results.

Then what am I gonna do?

Talk to your husband.

It's more complicated than it sounds.

I think the lie that you've been telling is far worse than the truth.

No,it's not.

there you are. I'm all done.

What now?

Now.

now we go home and keep trying.

Okay. Good-B.

Can I just say.

-whoa? -Right.

I always thought sleep was for the weak.

Would you put that thing away?

Now I just lie there. It's torture.

Insomnia is not caused by how you sleep.

It's caused by how you live. And this isn't helping.

No e-mails.

Close your eyeS.

try to relax.

It's hard to relax when you're sticking quarters on my head.

I'm stimulating the sleep center of the brain with magnets.

So.

you went to medical school,suffered through residency like the rest of us.

You could be saving lives right now.

Why did you ditch the good stuff for magnets and hoodoo?

What I do is the good stuff.

Now shh.

move it,coop.

There's people who actually pay me to lie on that couch.

I'm reviewing tess sullivan's film from her last doctor.

-She had a humerus fracture when she was younger from a fall. -Okay.

Except as I suspected,she actually had a spiral fracture of her humerus.

You know how you get that? Someone grabs your arm and twists it so hard,it snaps.

So someone hurt her on purpose.

More fun facts.

these records from before tess and marilyn transferred here,she had multiple falls and accidents.

Cooper,if it's abuse,it's usually the adult in the house.
