If I Hadn't Forgotten ...
Season 5 | Episode 6 | Aired 11/3/11

Violet's attorney, Jason, informs her that the medical board has agreed to revisit their case. They have a lot of work to do, but he thinks they have a real shot at getting her back to work. Jason also thinks Violet should join him for dinner. She reminds the guy that she's married. Of course, that marriage is still very fragile. In fact, Pete angrily tells Violet that he's sick of being analyzed by her. These two appear to be in real trouble.

Cooper has a young patient named Ollie who may be suffering from ADHD. The kid's parents want to be put on the fast track to get medication. Coop wants Sheldon to have a chat with the family first. The session does not go well. Sheldon suspects the parents coached him in order to get the drugs. After Ollie has a violent tantrum, Coop learns that his parents have been giving him ADHD drugs that belonged to his older brother so his grades would improve.

Cooper's new experience as a dad has him realizing that what Ollie's parents are doing is child abuse. He won't call the authorities because he doesn't want the boy to be put into the system. But that doesn't mean he's going to let this abuse continue. Cooper says the parents are going to bring him into their office once a month so that he can be sure they aren't pumping Ollie full of drugs. If that ever happens, he'll call the police.
