Dr. Violet Marianne Turner is a fictional character on the American television drama Private Practice, a spin-off from Grey's Anatomy.
The situation was made worse when she ran into Allan in a supermarket, only to discover that he married a younger woman only a few months after their break-up.
More recently, Violet has had relationships with both her co-worker Peter Wilder and Sheldon, a psychiatrist working for "the enemy", the fourth floor.
He performs an ultrasound to make sure there are no problems and after seeing the baby's heartbeat for the first time, Violet has a panic attack.
However, Katie begins to follow instructions for a caesarian section from a textbook, claiming she cannot wait for a normal delivery since she knows she will be arrested.
At the beginning of Season 3, Pete and Naomi find Violet barely alive in a pool of blood, with her baby gone.
While waiting, Pete and Sheldon argue over the fact that Violet knew something was wrong with Katie and they didn't believe her.
Violet won't leave her house and has panic attacks every time the doorbell rings.
Even though the judge rules in favor of Pete, he agrees to slowly start introducing Violet to co-parenting Lucas.
She asks Cooper to be her maid of honor, but his objective side meddles to such a degree that seeds of doubt are planted in Violet's head and she proceeds to bolt from the ceremony.
Violet later discovers that she is being sued by former patient Katie Kent and in the season four finale she gets her license suspended.
After Pete has a heart attack, Violet is nowhere to be found because she's at the airport and inadvertently counsels a woman in an abusive relationship.
During his recovery, he verbally abuses and berates Violet constantly, as she tries to get back into the practice and have her license reinstated.
Throughout the episode Violet and the rest of the practice debate whether he has fallen into some trouble or he decided to make a run for it.
In the last minutes of the episode it is revealed by Violet in a conversation with Cooper that police have informed her Pete had fallen off a hill while on a run and suffered a fatal heart attack.
In the final episode, after Addison's wedding, she publishes her second book called "Private Practice" which is about life and joy.
Robert Bianco for USA Today has praised Brenneman's talent in the role of Violet, but has opined that she is "incredibly badly used".
[2] Variety's Cynthia Littleton has noted that Brenneman as Violet is the most intriguing of the show's supporting ensemble, both as an actor and a character.
