‘Private Practice’ season 6 spoilers: Will Cooper and Charlotte’s babies live?

As we have previously talked about here at the site, Tuesday night’s Cooper-centric episode of “Private Practice” season 6 is going to be a very emotional one. There will be drama, and some of it comes with the always-ominous warning of death.

So who is in the crosshairs this week? Really, we are looking at three tiny people in Cooper and Charlotte’s triplets, and Paul Adelstein tried to cover up at first some of the danger that these children are in during an interview with Entertainment Weekly, at least before coming clean and setting the stage for what could be in store for this new family:

“If only we knew some really good OBGYNs … Jake is on board and Addison is on board and Sam gets involved — everybody gets involved to try to save the pregnancies.”

Even with everyone coming together, though, some things may not be stopped. One piece of this story that has not been talked about much is the issue of just when these babies are being born. Charlotte has not been anywhere close to due in the past few episodes, and if the children are arriving soon, it would mean that they are coming way ahead of schedule (which would in turn explain why their lives are in such jeopardy).

Regardless of what happens during this episode, we do at least know we will have at least a little while to deal with the aftereffects of it. There are five episodes left following this one, and they should hopefully give us a little bit more insight into all of these characters that some of these excellent spotlight episodes are not illuminating.
