  • During the Writer's Strike, the current cast of Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice performed in a charity event, Good Medicine, for the Solidarity Fund set up by the Writer's Guild of America for all those who had been put out of work because of the strike.
  • For this season, advertisers paid $208,000 for 30 seconds of ad time and it was the most expensive new show of the season.

Title Guest Summary Notes / Trivia / Goofs
1 1 "In Which We Meet Addison, a Nice Girl From Somewhere Else" * James Pickens, Jr. as Richard Webber At the invitation of her friend, fertility specialist Naomi Bennett, Addison leaves her job in Seattle and heads to Los Angeles to start a new job at Oceanside Wellness Group and to begin a new life. Not expecting Addison's arrival are Naomi's business partners at the co-op wellness center, her ex-husband, internist Sam Bennett, psychiatrist Violet Turner, pediatrician Cooper Freedman and alternative medicine guru Pete Wilder (who is convinced Addison is there because of their recent kiss). On her first day, Addison is presented a case that could make or break her acceptance among the Oceanside staff. * This episode scored 14.41 million viewers, the greatest draw among all the 111 episodes over 6 seasons.
* This is the first episode to air under the Private Practice credits, although the backdoor pilot aired in season three of Grey's Anatomy.
* To shoot the first scene, the cast and crew returned to the sets of Grey's Anatomy. Kate Walsh loved to do this, as the catering was much better there at the time.
2 2 "In Which Sam Receives an Unexpected Visitor" Cooper hires an "entertainer" named Ginger for Sam as a way to jump start his new life as a single person, causing not only Naomi to become jealous, but Addison as well, after Ginger seeks Pete's help with a medical condition. The Oceanside Wellness Group doctors and Saint Ambrose Hospital Chief of Staff Dr. Charlotte King work together to find the cause of a baby's illness.
3 3 "In Which Addison Finds the Magic" Addison must turn to Pete for help in treating a newlywed couple who can't consummate their marriage (no matter how much they try), while Violet tries to convince her patient to leave his wife, despite her own inability to move on from her ex, while Cooper investigates why his patients - four sisters - are all suffering from a mysterious illness. * Sam mentions to Addison that Pete's wife, Anna died 8 years ago. When Pete visits her in the cemetery on the anniversary of her death, we see that her gravestone says Anna Wilder Beloved Wife 1961-2001. Therefore 2007 is the 6th anniversary of her death.
4 4 "In Which Addison Has a Very Casual Get Together" Addison invites her fellow Oceanside Wellness co-workers to her house for a get-together, but no one RSVPs, the wife of Violet's ex-boyfriend visits the wellness center for medical treatment - and Violet is none too happy about it.

6 6 "In Which Charlotte Goes Down the Rabbit Hole" Charlotte seeks Pete's help in treating her insomnia, Naomi goes on her first date since college, Cooper suspects that his patient's injuries aren't an accident, and a patient asks Addison and Naomi to conceal her fertility from her husband.
7 7 "In Which Sam Gets Taken For a Ride" * Sarah Gilbert as Kelly While Sam finds himself in the midst of a dangerous house call, love - or at least sex - is in the air at Oceanside Wellness Center, as Pete and Addison decide to take their relationship to the next level, and Violet enters a "friends with benefits" pact with Cooper. * This is the only Private Practice episode not to feature KaDee Strickland as Charlotte King.
8 8 "In Which Cooper Finds a Port In His Storm" Cooper returns to the online dating game with surprising results, Addison goes out on a date with one of Violet's patients, Naomi and Sam make a house call at a convent, Dell gives a tour of Oceanside Wellness to his midwifery classmates, and Addison and Pete participate in a "Safe Surrender" program, coming to the aid of a teenaged new mother. * During this episode, Pete and Dell were looking for ID specialists to assist Sam and Naomi, however, Pete was later revealed to be an ID specialist himself.
* In the preceding episode, Sam was pistol whipped and injured by a patient, leaving cuts on his face. This episode takes place the next day, but Sam has no cuts.
9 9 "In Which Dell Finds His Fight" The Oceanside Wellness Center takes on the fertility of one of their previous couples and starts a "Dads-to-be" class, much to Charlotte's displeasure. Sam and Naomi struggle to figure out where their relationship is going. Addison is conflicted about her status in the dating world, and Cooper begins a secret affair with one of his colleagues. * This is the last episode of the series of which the title starts with "In Which" until the series finale, In Which We Say Goodbye.
