I say they laid the groundwork because Alex cornered Addison and asked her point blank: "are you happier now that you walked away.." and she couldn't answer.. signaling maybe she wasn't.
It's a ratings ploy to say: "we know Private Practice hasn't been a ratings blockbuster.. there is always an out.." of having Addison return to Grey's.
