  • Instant Karma: A wealthy businessman brings his teenage son, who is suffering from inexplicable stomach pains, to Princeton Plainsboro and insists on having Dr. House handle the case. The father of the patient believes the karmic penalty of his financial success is that he is victim to personal tragedy, and that the answer to his son’s medical mystery lies in a reverse of fate rather than medical treatment. Meanwhile, Foreman and Chase prepare to present information on the Dibala case.

I can't believe that Foreman told Thirteen that he'd fire her all over again. *Smacks forehead* What was he thinking? That is not the way to grovel.

eguy House kidnapping his neighbor and curing his arm pain 3 Oct 9 2009, 1:00 PM EDT by BarbaraGoode

I thought the best episode moment was when House relieved Murphy from his chronic arm pain. It showed that House is still a good doctor, he still wants to help people and he totally took the high road. True, he kidnapped Murphy to help him, but I wouldn't expect anything less from House, lol!

eguy Foreman- will he cover for Chase or back out? 8 Oct 7 2009, 5:36 PM EDT by gingerbreadlynn

Foreman burned the record from the morgue that proved Chase was in the morgue earlier that day. However, there is literally a trail of blood that proves the lab tests were not Dibala's. I think Foreman will back out and not cover for him.

This show has gone to the dogs. Is there a writers strike going on? Astoundingly bad TV. Shame on you, writers and producers. I feel sort of sorry for the actors. I mean, actors only speak the lines they are provided (it's how they pay the rent) but, on the other hand, most actors are vaccuous and fairly useless people so I don't feel really TOO bad for them. But I digress. I hope this is the last season of "House". I can't see how it could recover from the tailspin this season is already in.
