She agrees to go for a drink with him, however, and the two end up sleeping together. Charlotte and Cooper enter into a relationship, but break up when he discovers that she is opening a new practice to rival his own, on the fourth floor of the same building. They come close to reconciling when Charlotte believes she may be pregnant, but she is disappointed when her pregnancy test comes back negative and Cooper subsequently rejects her again. They re-unite when Charlotte's father dies from lung cancer, and Cooper helps her to turn off his life support machine.〔 Charlotte is jealous of Cooper's relationship with his best friend Violet Turner (Amy Brenneman), particularly when he opts to move in with her to support her through her pregnancy. In retaliation, Charlotte sleeps with Archer Montgomery (Grant Show); however, Cooper forgives her as he realizes she is afraid of being in a committed relationship and is trying to push him away. Charlotte is later fired from her position as director of Pacific Wellcare as the practice owner, William White (James Morrison), believes her to be heartless. However, she continues private practice work as she is employed to replace Naomi at Oceanside Wellness, electing to practice sexology as her specialty. In the beginning of the third season she and Cooper were having trouble because Violet was attacked and he put himself at fault. But, in S03E03 at the end he literally "swept her off her feet" and asked her to move him with him. In the S03E04 Charlotte renovates Cooper's bathroom, destroying it in the process. At the end it is revealed that he is broke. In S03E05, Charlotte is accepted into the practice and takes up sexology. Toward the end of the episode Cooper admits that he is threatened by Charlotte because she says that she is "too much of a woman" for him, but they get over this and they continue to be happy. That is, until it's revealed that Charlotte was married before and lied about this to Cooper. Then she enters into a sexual relationship with Sheldon, who later admits that he loves her. In 3x20 Cooper reveals that his parents had a son that died before him and he felt like he was replaced and that's why he took Charlotte's first marriage so badly. He tells Violet that he is going to "get her back". In S03E21 Cooper tells Charlotte that she is important to him and they go get dinner. In S03E22 the episode opens with Cooper and her in bed after having sex. Later in the episode Sheldon admits that she deserves better, and he can be more to her. He asks her out to dinner. At the end, Violet asks Cooper if he loves Charlotte and he nods. So, she says to "go get her". He follows Violet's instructions and leaves for Charlotte—who is out with Sheldon. In the season 3 finale Cooper admits his love for her and proposes. Later in the episode he tells everyone that he proposed and she said yes. Sheldon resents being everyone's "second choice". At the end Cooper says that he takes back the proposal, so he can do it the next day. She questions this, but he says he can't live without her and she is everything he never knew he wanted. She tosses him the ring, and he asks, "if I propose again tomorrow, what are you gonna say?" Charlotte replies: "I'm gonna say yes." In season four, Charlotte meets a mentally unstable patient who appears to be extremely aggressive. When she goes to leave her office after a hard day of work, she is knocked back into her office and is raped and brutally beaten, left with a broken wrist, and hand, a deep laceration on her left arm, a broken eye socket, and a broken nose. Cooper is at a bar with Sam and Amelia while this is happening and Cooper drunkenly comes onto Amelia, Sam stepped in to stop the sexual feelings between the two, before Cooper did something he would regret later on. Addison comes to Charlotte's aid at the hospital and she tells Addison that her attacker "wiped" himself off in her hair and then raped her again. She reveals to Amelia that she also was addicted to pills. At first keeping quiet what really happened, Charlotte is able to tell Cooper and the others how she was raped. However, her reluctance to come forward at first leads to her rapist being allowed to go free. When the man attacks his girlfriend, she stabs him in self-defense, sending him to the hospital. While Cooper and Sheldon are tempted to let him die, Sam saves his life. Before the operation, Charlotte sees the man, saying that if he dies, she wants the last thing he sees to be her face. Charlotte learns the man had told his girlfriend of the rape and convinces her to tell the police so he'll be arrested.
