Season Four
When Dr. Brett Cooper moved out to L.A., his soon to be ex wife, Lexi Sterling, followed him and hooked up with Peter, now Coop's partner in a private practice. The two snuck around until Coop's divorce was settled then revealed themselves and Lexi moved in with Peter. Peter was unaware that she was suffering from a pill addiction. Coop still prescribed pills to Lexi. Peter found out, and once Lexi figured out that Peter knew, she drove her car and hit a stranger. The stranger could barely remember her so Peter tried to cover the incident by painting her car and feigning ignorance.Season Five
Jennifer Mancini found out about this and blackmailed Lexi to let Coop off the hook from his alimony checks, hoping this would indirectly benefit Michael. Lexi, upset over the occurence, overdosed for the last time on pills. The guy who Lexi hit, Bob, came to Lexi and Peter's home and asked to stay there. Eventually, he realized Lexi was the one who hit him, and threatened Peter. Lexi finds out Peter is still in love with Amanda. Lexi was distraught over this and, in a moment of vulnerability, told Bob the truth about the accident. He said he cared about Lexi and would go to the police and drop the charges. When the two returned home, Bob found Peter and Lexi ordered him out of the house. They told him the whole thing was a fix-up just for him to drop the charges. Bob left, and Lexi's father, Thomas Sterling, arrived. Behind Lexi's back, he made it clear to Peter that he didn't like him. He gave Lexi money to start a business, provided that Coop was her partner, thinking that Coop was the only one ever good enough for Lexi. Peter, fed up with this, hid a tape recorder and wanted to get Thomas on tape voicing his hate. While Peter's plan was set in motion, Thomas had a stroke and died. Later, Megan recovered the tape from Peter's jacket pocket and played it for Lexi. Lexi then dumped Peter. Lexi and Coop went to the reading of her father's will and there was a hidden clause which only Coop and Peter knew about -- if Coop remarries Lexi within the next year, then the two of them will inherit 10 million dollars. Peter and Lexi got back together when she got over the death, but Peter then realized that he was still in love with Amanda and dumped Lexi to pursue Amanda again. Lexi found herself in financial trouble with her late father's business, Sterling-Conway Enterprises, and she could be jailed for some incriminating documents that she signed. Peter told Lexi about the clause and Coop and her married, making life complicated for Megan, who was engaged to Coop.
