The season consisted of 22 episodes. ==Plot== The first half of the second season dealt with the practice's financial troubles. Naomi reveals to Addison that they are in danger of losing the practice due to unpaid debt causing Addison to tell Sam. This in turn causes a shift within the practice making Addison the new boss. Adding to the drama was the competition of a new practice, Pacific Wellcare. This new practice, located within the same building as Oceanside Wellness, was run by Charlotte causing turmoil for her and Cooper. Another happening within this season is the dynamic between Sam and Naomi who by the finale realize they can no longer be friends as well as the deepening romantic relationship of Cooper and Charlotte. Addison was romantically linked with Kevin Nelson (played by David Sutcliffe), a police officer, but later realized their relationship was going nowhere. Towards the end of the season, Addison falls in love with cardiovascular surgeon Noah Barnes, who as it turns out, is married and is expecting his first child. Matters become more complicated when Addison realizes that Noah's wife is one of her patients. Archer Montgomery (Grant Show), Addison's playboy brother, also made sporadic appearances causing trouble for her and Naomi. Archer was found to be with an aggressive brain tumor which was later diagnosed as parasites. Addison sought the professional help of her ex-husband, Derek Shepherd (Patrick Dempsey). After Derek successfully saved Archer, Addison discovered he was back to his old tricks cheating on Naomi. Violet stirred some of her own drama when she began dating Sheldon (Brian Benben), who works for Pacific Wellcare, and Pete. During the latter half of the season, Violet was found to be pregnant although she did not know who the father of her baby was. Also, Violet found herself and her unborn baby at the mercy of a psychotic patient bent on taking Violet's baby by any means necessary in the closing moments of the season finale. Meanwhile, Dell struggled with his own issues caused by his former girlfriend's drug habits and the fight for custody of his daughter Betsey. Some of the medical cases that caused a stir and tension among the doctors at Private Practice was the issue of abortion (a first for the practice), the sex reassignment of a newborn, the sexual activity of a 12-year-old, the switching of embryos for two mothers-to-be and a young couple who later discovered they were siblings. ==Cast and characters== {{col-begin}} {{col-3}} ===Main cast=== * [[Kate Walsh (actress)|Kate Walsh]] as [[Addison Montgomery]] * [[Tim Daly]] as [[Pete Wilder]] * [[Audra McDonald]] as [[Naomi Bennett]] * [[Paul Adelstein]] as [[Cooper Freedman]] * [[KaDee Strickland]] as [[Charlotte King]] * [[Chris Lowell]] as [[Dell Parker]] * [[Taye Diggs]] as [[Sam Bennett (Private Practice)|Sam Bennett]] * [[Amy Brenneman]] as [[Violet Turner]] {{col-3}} ===Recurring cast=== * [[David Sutcliffe]] as Kevin Nelson * Geffri Maya as Maya Bennett * [[Brian Benben]] as Sheldon Wallace * Hailey Sole as Betsey Parker * [[Grant Show]] as Archer Montgomery * [[James Morrison (actor)|James Morrison]] as William White * [[Jayne Brook]] as Meg Porter * [[Jay Harrington]] as Wyatt Lockhart * [[Sharon Leal]] as Sonya * [[Amanda Detmer]] as Morgan Barnes * [[Josh Hopkins]] as Noah Barnes * [[Agnes Bruckner]] as Heather * [[Amanda Foreman (actress)|Amanda Foreman]] as Katie Kent * [[Sean Bridgers]] as Frank {{col-3}} ===Special guest stars=== * [[Justin Chambers]] as [[Alex Karev]] * [[Chandra Wilson]] as [[Miranda Bailey]] * [[James Pickens Jr.]] as [[Richard Webber]] * [[Eric Dane]] as [[Mark Sloan (Grey's Anatomy)|Mark Sloan]] * [[Patrick Dempsey]] as [[Derek Shepherd]] ===Guest stars=== * [[Idina Menzel]] as Lisa King * [[Alexis Denisof]] as Daniel Larson * [[Amy Acker]] as Molly Madison {{col-end}} ==Episodes== {{See also|List of Private Practice episodes}} <onlyinclude>{{Episode table |background=#0F52BA |overall=5 |season=5 |title=28 |director=14 |writer=25 |airdate=14 |viewers=9 |country=US |episodes= {{Episode list/sublist|Private Practice season 2 |EpisodeNumber=10 |EpisodeNumber2=1 |Title=A Family Thing |WrittenBy=[[Shonda Rhimes]] & [[Marti Noxon]] |DirectedBy=[[Mark Tinker]] |OriginalAirDate={{Start date|2008|10|1}} |Aux4=8.16<ref>{{cite web |url=http://tvbythenumbers.com/2008/10/07/top-cbs-primetime-shows-september-29-october-5 |title=Top CBS Primetime Shows, September 29 – October 5 |first=Bill |last=Gorman |date=October 7, 2008|publisher=TV by the Numbers|archiveurl=https://archive.today/20120719223028/http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2008/10/07/top-cbs-primetime-shows-september-29-october-5/|archivedate=July 19, 2012}}</ref> |ShortSummary=Addison discovers that Naomi is hiding the practice's financial problems.
