5x08 Who We Are and 5x09 The Breaking Point: "2 Hour Event" Episode Discussion
Who We Are and The Breaking Point 5.08 and 5.09 "2 Hour Event" Episode Discussion In the first hour or a special two-hour edition of ABC's "Private Practice," THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 17 (9:00-11:00 p.m., ET) -- entitled "Who We Are" -- the Seaside Wellness group stages an intervention for a defensive and volatile Amelia, who has resurfaced after disappearing on a 12-day drug binge with her boyfriend, Ryan. During the intervention, Amelia mercilessly attacks her friends one-by-one, and Addison, in particular, has trouble seeing her sister-in-law in her present condition. In the second hour, entitled "The Breaking Point," Amelia makes the hard decision to enter a rehab facility, and finds strength in an 18 year-old girl, as they both go through the painful detox process. Meanwhile, Cooper's strengthening bond with his son is tested by his allegiance to a patient in need, Pete and Violet's marriage reaches a tipping point, and Addison collapses from her rigorous fertility treatments __________________

I enjoyed both episodes. The first episode was just heartbreaking and at some points hard to watch, but in a good way for me. The Amelia/Addison scenes were my favorite. I also love that they touched based on Addison/Amelia's history with Addie saying she took her to get her ears pierced and did her hair for prom. I figured something bad would happen when she left with him. I don't buy that she was in love with him. She was in love with him because he let her do drugs.
I thought they could have done more with the rehab storyline. Instead of the teenage girl, I would have liked to seen Amelia just talking in group about why she relapsed because she started drinking heavily before her friend died. I am loving Addison and Violet bonding. Addisam are pretty much done, all there is left is to just say the words. Why did Violet leave her house? I would have shoved his butt out the door. Since the show isn't coming back til January 5, it was smart to leave it on a cliffhanger. Since Shonda did the whole "is Addie pregnant" last season, I will say she is pregnant, but something bad will happen. __________________

I think Addie is pregnant it looked like she had the look of relief on her face.
I really liked this episode this had so much drama but I am that Amelia cleaned up her act after losing Ryan. I feel like this girl needed something major to kick her in the ass to go to rehab and that's what did it. I really liked the Addie and Amelia scenes I really like that they're like sisters and that Addie was trying to hard to help her. I have a feeling that AddiSam will be done in the next half of the season. While I was watching this episode it was clear that this just might end now that Addie might be preggers. I don't know where they are going with the whole Violet & Pete story but hopefully it's just a ruff pach and they will be fine in the end. That look in the last scene when violet left on Pete's face told me that maybe he still loves her and doesn't want her to leave but he just couldn't find the right words and that's why he let her leave. I do hope they work it out cause they are actually good for each other. Loved the scene where they were cracking up laughing I love those kind of scenes between these two. I really love how close Coop is now with his son it's really nice to see. I'm glad we got to see some bonding time and it was sad that he didn't go to the play but i'm glad that his son saw why he didn't go to the play the scene with the sick kid was really sweet. Over all, I really enjoyed this episode it was great. __________________

I loved this episode one of the best Addison is pregnant that's for sure but i wonder what the down fall is going to be about. I mean SR never has anything easy for any character on her show. I actually felt the opposite about Sam, I think he'll stick by her and the child, though i could be wrong. lol
Amelia/Addison Sisters And we found out a little more about their relationship in NY. I would love for this to be explored a little more. Jake/Addison I'm actually loving this pair even though they aren't really a pair (Yet) Ben/Kate have some good Chemistry. Amelia in my opinion owned the first episode. Caterina did an amazing job (She Deserve an Emmy nom for sure) and i felt bad for Addison and everyone else that had to hear as she lashed out. But i never once thought she meant any of it. It was all about getting more drugs. I'm so happy she got clean and i didn't really think she had true feelings for Ryan until the moment she cried in group. I hate what she said to Sheldon but again i know she didn't mean it. love that he went to see her Charlotte/Cooper was so adorable in this episode. Violet/Pete saw this coming since Marriages in SRland never last. but the fact that she left her own home. __________________

I liked the episode a lot. The editing was different, but it worked really well.
Charlotte and Cooper just own my heart. I liked their little family unit. It was really nice, that Mason's mother came to the dinner too. I liked her bonding with Charlotte. Addison is pregnant, she looked so pleased with the result. Sam really does need to let her go. He doesn't want the same things Addison wants, it will never work. Amelia's sl was so heartbreaking. I hope we will see more of the girl from the rehab, she seemed sweet. |

Wow this Episode was just amazing. It brought me to tears I Loved how Addison was there for Amelia when she needed her the most. I totally Knew that Ryan was going to die the moment Amelia said "I love you" too Him then when He said he wanted 4 Kids I knew in the next scene that would be when he dies and I was right I felt bad for Amelia but It was exactly what she needed to get her to go to Rehab
I'm not sure how I feel about Amelia and Hailey (the teen age girl) don't get me wrong I love Debby Ryan She's a great actress , I'm used to seeing her on Disney so it was nice to see her in a more serious role But Like Many of You I thought they should have focused more on why Amelia started to use in the first place. __________________

Addison is still with Sam? Even after she collapsed he couldn't even visit her in hospital? (i know he was there but he didn't even entered her room!) Their relationship is such a nonsense. She wants a kid he doesn't . We get it, how long they will drag the same stroyline over and over again?
Ryan died, poor Amelia. And poor Sheldon, he obviously has feelings for her that are not mutual. Again. Why he always has to fall for someone who doesn't feel the same? And Violet and Pete went on separation. That was inevitable. He is such a manbaby. Char and Cooper were adorable as always, this is the first time they ended on good terms before winter hiatus, so i was pleasantly shocked. |

Well! I have to say I enjoyed this two part mid-season finale and can't wait til Jan.
the first episode was so intense...Amelia stole the show. What an amazing and successful portrayal of a person struggling with addiction. Her pain was so real Caterina Scorsone's acting was phenomenal. as for Addison and Sam, hope they split they didn't want the same thing |

I'm just watching it.. It's intense and great..
Shelodn was adorable hugging Amelia.. ANd Addie slapping her.. wow.. Sam really bugs me more and more.. I mean, how can't he not accept that addiction is a decease? I mean is he the same with people who have lung cancer and smokers?? Stop using drugs? Really, Sam? If it's that easy she would have stopped already.. Aw, Sheldon & Addie the handholding The flashback Wow.. now we finally know what's happended then.. OMG the story of the lady.. Jake's visit to the graveyard It's making my cry I wonder what their story was.. it sounds complicated.. maybe somday we'll get the whole story.. OMG I already had the feeling Ryan would die when they decided to do it one last time... Why does it always take such tragedy to make people wake up? Wow.. When that girl told Amy about Ryan.. Caterina really deserves a looooot of credit.. She did sooo well.. Addie seems to starting to realize her relationship with Sam won't work out if he's not with her in on the baby.. I have to say I really like Addie and Violet.. They both finally find a new bff they really need Wow. Brave Violet... Aaaaddie!! SHe's pregnant!! She has to beeeee... I hate Shonda for making us waiting so looooooong now to find out... __________________

Unfortunately, a lot of people have that opinion. Drug addiction isn't a very sympathetic disease.

I could understand that people who are not doctors don't take it seriously. But someone who IS a doctor? That is unacceptable imho.
