‘Private Practice’ season 6 spoilers: Get ready for Addison’s spotlight

“Private Practice” season 6 has seen its share of bad news, in between the announcement that this is the final season along with all of the delays. Last week, the new episode was postponed thanks to Hurricane Sandy, and this week marks the second time that a new episode was preempted thanks the Presidential election.

Thankfully, the show is going to be back a week from Tuesday with an all-new episode, and we now have a little bit more scoop about what is coming up in the weeks that follow this. The seventh episode of the season is going to be entitled “Apron Strings,” and it is going to be all about Kate Walsh’s character much in the way that Thursday’s “Grey’s Anatomy” is going to focus primarily on Meredith and Cristina:

“In this Addison-centric episode, her role as a parent is challenged when Henry’s biological mother reappears and asks to be more involved in her young son’s life. Meanwhile Addison reconnects with her mentor, who shares a very painful secret.”

Will this episode be the final look deep into Addison’s life? Far from it, but this will likely be the last time that she gets an entire episode devoted to her. Let’s just hope that this serves as the primary opportunity for her to tie up some loose ends in her past, that way she can press forward the rest of the series to what we hope will be the character’s happy ending … save for if she does surface on “Grey’s Anatomy” at some point before that show drops the curtain as soon as May 2014.

Are you excited for an Addison-centric episode?
