Complete story — includes the ending
Jake enlists Addison's help with a uterine transplant. Amelia and Sam try to help a woman with Parkinson's disease mask the symptoms, only to find that her meds are making her want to sleep with random men, and work to try to save her marriage and her life. Violet finds that typical maternal activities like play dates aren't really her thing; she makes a big change by cutting her hair very short. Amelia calls Charlotte a bitch in front of everyone and Charlotte is wounded that Cooper doesn't stand up for her. Addison and Jake find that the transplant surgery didn't work on their patient angering Jake, while Addison searches for the right doctor to begin her IVF treatment. Instead of going to a regular therapist, Pete begins going to Sheldon for advice, eventually not liking the realistic advice he gets; he wonders why he can't connect with Violet during sex, when he finds out that he can have it again. An old fling of Cooper's, Erica Warner, shows up and proclaims that she and Cooper have a child together. The practice gets renamed Seaside Health and Wellness.
