Specials & other episodes

Episode Title Writer(s) Director Original airdate
Pilot "The Other Side of This Life, Parts One and Two" Shonda Rhimes Michael Grossman May 3, 2007 (2007-05-03)
Addison goes on a road trip to LA as she is given another job offer in California, although she finds that no matter where she is, drama follows her. While in LA, she helps resolve a surrogacy problem, where it seems the surrogate had unprotected sex with many other guys on the week she was implanted with the fertilized egg. Back at Seattle Grace, Meredith continues to improve her relationship with her father and stepmother when her stepmother is brought to the hospital. Cristina is having issues coping with her mother and (soon-to-be) mother-in-law. 
Special "Come Rain or Come Shine: From Grey's Anatomy to Private Practice" ——— ——— September 19, 2007 (2007-09-19)
This episode recaps all of the seasons of Grey's Anatomy and sets up the spin-off series, Private Practice, by relating Addison's story. It also includes a preview of Private Practice. 
Cross-over "Before and After" Tony Phelan and Joan Rater Dan Attias February 12, 2009 (2009-02-12)
Addison, Naomi and Sam rush the ailing Archer to Seattle Grace and reunite with old friends Derek (Patrick Dempsey) and Mark (Eric Dane) to help save his life; meanwhile, Izzie (Katherine Heigl) employs her fellow doctors in a medical game designed to help teach the interns, and Owen (Kevin McKidd) runs into a significant someone from his past. 
Cross-over "An Honest Mistake" Peter Nowalk Randy Zisk February 19, 2009 (2009-02-19)
Derek's confidence is shaken like never before as he faces off with Addison over what course is best for their dying pregnant patient; Cristina (Sandra Oh) calls the abilities of a renowned surgeon into question after she botches a standard procedure; and Bailey (Chandra Wilson), who has decided to pursue a fellowship in Pediatric Surgery, is appalled by the Chief's less-than-stellar recommendation letter. 

Reception

Responding to criticism of the pilot episode, president of ABC Entertainment Steve McPherson agreed that the episode had spent too much time introducing the characters, and that the future season needed stronger stories. ABC showed confidence in Private Practice by scheduling it at 9pm Wednesdays, hoping it would bolster a weak night for ratings.[39] Creator Shonda Rhimes has commented that the backdoor pilot episode "was a little bit of a high wire act... What I learned in writing it was that the tone was a little bit lighter. Grey's in the best way is sort of high school with scalpels. Private Practice is more grown up."[40] However, USA Today's Robert Bianco was highly critical of the childish nature of Private Practice's characters, writing that: "instead of maturing, Kate Walsh's Addison Montgomery seems to be regressing. A woman who was once a tough, smart, flawed, sexy adult has turned into a fluttering, indecisive sorority girl."[41] Bianco did opine that the first season opener was an improvement on the pilot that preceded it, and although he stated that the supporting cast were "ill-used", he commented: "Just consider the talent here: Amy Brenneman, Taye Diggs, Audra McDonald, Paul Adelstein and Tim Daly (who really deserves a hit, after being so good in so many excellent flops). These are people who have proved they can handle grown-up material. How about letting them practice?"[41] Rhimes believes that the show "found its footing" in the second season, with the characters more grounded and focus increased on medical and ethical issues. Actress Kate Walsh commented: "Part of what happened this year is the show got a lot clearer about what it is. It felt more organic about the way cases came up."[42] However, at the end of the second season, Bianco opined: "It's a better show than it used to be, but considering the talents in that cast, it's still not nearly good enough."[43]
