Season 1
PRIVATE PRACTICE - "In Which We Meet Addison, A Nice Girl From Somewhere" - 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, on the premiere of "Private Practice," WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26 (9:00-10:01 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network.

In Which Addison Finds the Magic
Season 1 | Episode 3 | Aired 10/10/07
Meanwhile, Addison treats Kathleen, a young newlywed who can’t have sex. Odd thing is she’s never had sex. Well, that floored us! She’s a 35-year-old virgin who can’t get it on with her husband Jeffrey, aka Mr. Right.

Kathleen has vaginismus, a constant muscle spasm that causes constant pain "down there." But, a couple muscle relaxers should do the trick.

The next day, it's still raining, Addison is still in a foul mood and Kathleen still can't have sex. Pete offers some of his holistic therapy, but Addison wants to stick with what she knows: Science.

Also, Naomi is still upset over “losing” her daughter to Sam, but Dell keeps the cakes on coming. What’s up with her? Can’t she see she’s just burying her emotional pain under a vat of frosting?
