Plot

An office election pits Sam and Naomi against each other to lead the practice, and ends with surprising results, while Addison treats a young Afghan girl who wants to hide her past, and Cooper's objectionable personal life catches up with his professional one.

Addison wants things to go back the way it was before the practice was broken, meaning before Sam and Naomi were broken. She enlists the other members of the practice to help arrange a vote as to who runs Oceanside better. Naomi and her soft side approach, or Sam and his business-like atmosphere. While discussing it a woman (Jayne Brook) comes in and begins kissing Pete, confusing all involved. After each side lobbies for their side it comes down to a vote with Addison abstaining after a speech about patient care. The surprising result is that after a vote for Sam and Naomi both, all other votes are for Addison. Who now has no idea what to do.
