In Which Sam Gets Taken for a Ride
Season 1 | Episode 7 | Aired 11/14/07
As if trying to deliver a baby at gunpoint isn't bad enough, the baby gets stuck on the way out. Sam calls Naomi for help. Sam must reach in and rotate the shoulder counter-clockwise. He tells Kelly, "This is going to hurt." And it does! Kelly howls in pain, but Sam gets the baby in position and out it comes. It's a girl! That’s great, but we’re thinking they shouldn’t tell Ashley.

Violet and Cooper want to start a "friends with benefits" situation. We’re not sure if that’s a good idea or a bad idea. After the busy day, Violet and Cooper start to strip down in her bedroom for the 'benefit' portion of their friendship. Violet stands before him in all her naked glory, but Coop chickens out. He pulls his pants back up and bolts. Yeah, bad idea.

At Addison's place, she gets excited when the doorbell rings. But it's Cooper who is on the other side and he needs a shoulder to lean on. Both of Addison’s shoulders are free because it looks like Pete has stood her up. Pete ends up at Violet's door. He reveals that before his wife died, they were trying to have a baby. She lets him in to talk. So, it doesn’t look like there’s gonna be any “friends with benefits” action tonight. But all our Oceanside docs are certainly benefiting from their friendships.

When Sam returns from his outing, his tale of adventure turns Naomi on. She jumps on him and Sam doesn't resist. Their clothes start flying off and they make hot, passionate love right there on the Oceanside conference table. Better hope the cleaning crew doesn’t come in.
