Fear of Flying
Season 3 | Episode 16 | Aired 03/4/10

Addison and Pete are still doing the friends with benefits thing, which is fine. But Sam has been avoiding Addison, which is not fine. Addison wants to force Sam to talk to her, but that’s not necessary. He seems to have gotten over his heartache by dating Vanessa, who happens to be a neonatal specialist. Hmmm.

Addison treats a pregnant woman named Alicia. Once the baby is born, he’s going to need a series of heart operations from Sam. To complicate matters, her fiancé, Esau, has tuberculosis which means Sam can’t sign off on his physical. This means Esau will be deported to Kenya. Alicia loves him and promises to go wherever Esau goes. The problem is that the baby won’t be able to leave because of his medical issues.
