Private Practice is the story of a team of gifted doctors working together to change the lives of their patients for the better as they look to one another for friendship and love.

At Oceanside Wellness, friendships are tested and secrets revealed when Addison discovers that Naomi is concealing the practice's financial problems. Meanwhile, Violet wonders what secret Cooper is keeping from her, while Cooper himself has to decide whether or not to reveal a medical secret to a patient.
