From Quiz "Private Practice" - "Past Tense"

Answer: The other doctors should vote for a leader

Sam and Naomi decided that they wouldn't be able to choose, and they thought that the others should take a vote. Addison though that voting was a bad idea, because one of them would end up with hurt feelings. Most of the others weren't too enthusiastic about the idea either, especially when Sam and Naomi spent the rest of the episode campaigning for votes (i.e. harassing their colleagues).

Answer: He put up a board showing what everyone was doing.

Sam created a chart that had every one's name at the top, and the hours of the day along the side. He made dots in each doctor's column at the hours where they were seeing patients, leaving big blank spaces for those who were not being as productive as they could have been. Sam said that the board was simply to keep track of scheduling with Dell gone, but Violet said she found 'the Board of Shame' to be humiliating that he was publicly pointing out who was working hard and who wasn't.

They later discussed their potential relationship and Pete said that he didn't want a serious relationship and had no intentions of ever getting married again, but that he was there if Addison just wanted fun.

From Quiz Private Practice

Cooper mentioned this fear a few times in this episode. The first time was when he was in the bath with Charlotte, trying to talk to her about his concerns.

From Quiz "Private Practice"-"...a Casual Get Together"

Answer: the Arm and Hammer guy

He tried to get man to be proud of his bald head, by identifying other strong bald guys, including himself, Sam.
