Matt Webb Mitovich TV Line Longtime viewers... were promised that a payoff five years in the making was coming, that "major news... happy news" was on the way. And boom, at the close of the show's spring premiere... debut, there it was, thank Judi. Mar 22, 2018 Full Review Christina Tran TV Fanatic Overall, I thought that "God Laughs" was a great way to kick off what appears to be an exciting year for our favorite doctors. I'm ecstatic about the developments for this season and especially for our girl, Addie. Rated: 4.5/5 Mar 22, 2018 Full Review Molly Horan TV Equals Grey's Anatomy is good at the shocking, jaw dropping season finales, and Private Practice can really dish out the sad, gut wrenching deaths.
