FEEDING YOUR ADDICTION FOR HOUSE

JESSE SPENCER INTERVIEW: WHAT LIES AHEAD FOR HOUSE

November 9, 2009
House returns tonight! TV Guide interviewed Jesse Spencer on what fans can expect. Here's an excerpt:

TV Guide: What's to come?

Jesse Spencer: The big stuff hasn't really happened yet. Where the story line is going, the s--t's about to hit the fan. It's the reason that Chase will stay in the hospital and the reason that Cameron will leave. Chase feels he has to stay and face the music — whatever that is... he feels like he has to stay and play that out in the hospital.

TV Guide: What leads to the break up?

Jesse Spencer: Chase defends the notion that he made this decision rationally and that it had nothing to do with House. She offers for her and Chase to leave and go somewhere. He accepts it and then realizes that he really can't go anywhere because it's just going to follow him everywhere he goes. That leads them to go their separate ways.

TV Guide: The new team?

Jesse Spencer: We sort of have a new team again because now basically Chase joins [it]. It's a slightly new dynamic with him on the team. He asks to come back on the team because he feels like it's the only way he's going to be able to face his demons and what he's done. He comes back on the team so it will be Chase, Foreman, Thirteen and Taub.

DVRs BOOST HOUSE'S RATINGS

November 6, 2009

Everyone in the television business has been afraid of DVRs killing shows. Since one of the perceived benefits of owning a DVR is skipping commercials, it make s sense that advertisers might see a decline in their client's profits, thus effecting ad sales, thus effecting our favorite shows. However, according to daveandthomas.net, DVR ratings have added significantly to live ratings and ad revenue.

It turns out that since we are lazy enough to want to watch TV on our own relaxed schedule, we are lazy enough to sit through the commercials. According to Nielsen, 46 percent of viewers 18 to 49 years old for all four networks taken together are watching the commercials during playback, up slightly from last year.

Take for example, our favorite show. House is the second among all shows in its live program rating (to Grey’s Anatomy on ABC), became the top show in terms of commercials viewed within three days with a 5.68 rating (about 6.53 million), gaining almost 18 percent. NBC’s comedy The Office had one of the single biggest gains — 26 percent from its live program rating — to 3.92 (4.5 million) for its rating including playbacks.

So, in theory, a DVR doesn't change whether you watch commercials or not. It just changes when you watch them.

FOX SCAVENGER HUNT + VOTE FOR HOUSE ON TV GUIDE

November 5, 2009
I have two bits of info for you Housians today. The first is that Fox is holding a scavenger hunt that will take place across all of Fox's network shows. The event will be a celebration of The Simpsons‘ 20th year as a series and will include House.

There will be clues alluding to The Simpsons throughout each of the network shows. In the promo clip, Jesse Spencer deadpans "I bet you're not smart enough to find them." Simpsons writer and producer Al Jean warns that the clues may be subtle, and that you'll have to pay close attention to the details. D'oh!

Watch this video clip that tells you what to look for. It features actors from Fox shows including our favorites from House- Hugh Laurie, Jesse Spencer, Omar Epps and Olivia Wilde. The hunt runs November 9-14, and the winner will be chosen randomly. The prize along with how to submit your entry has yet to be announced.

On a completely different topic, TV Guide has requested input about which show is the best of 2009. We all know that House is the best show on the planet, right? So if you want to vote for our favorite curmudgeon of a doctor, let TV guide know what you think.

CAMERON-GATE UPDATE

OLIVIA WILDE ON JENNIFER MORRISON: "AS FAR AS I KNOW, SHE'S COMING BACK!"

November 4, 2009
Olivia Wilde made an appearance at the Jimmy Choo/H&M launch, and spoke to reporters about two very important subjects: Her girl crush, and Jennifer Morrison's future on House.

As far as her girl crush goes, Wilde says she hasn't decided, according to E! online, (Big let down.)

"There's so many fabulous women!" Wilde said, "I'll get back to you."

But the really interesting spill is about whether Dr. Allison Cameron is coming back to House. Lisa Edelstein alluded to Jennifer coming back to the show earlier this month, and it sounds like Olive Wilde sealed the deal with her comments

"As far as I know she's coming back," Olivia said. "I think now she's not in a few episodes, but she's coming back. None of us really knew what was going on, but at this point, I've heard the same information as you."

Perhaps it was an outcry from fans of House who have been blogging, writing and complaining about Morrison's character disappearing for good. Or perhaps the producers have known all along that she would be back. We blogged on September 29th that executive producer Katie Jacobs said that what happens in the story arch is purely "creative choice."

How does that sit with Wilde?

"We're used to them being unpredictable," Olivia explained. "My character went to Thailand for a little while...you never know! That's what makes the show great and makes us really appreciate the shows we have."

Well, at least Hugh Laurie has job security, or they'd have to change the show's name to "Cuddy," "Foreman," or "Chase."

Oh, and for all you fashionistas, Jimmy Choo's line hits approximately 200 H&M stores on November 14, 2009. Here's a peek at what's to come.

CUDDY'S SERENADE: PLAYED BY DR. HOUSE, WRITTEN BY HUGH LAURIE

November 3, 2009
I really shouldn't be surprised when I find out more about how talented Hugh Laurie really is. I mean, we know he plays piano, guitar, and other instruments, but did you know that the piano piece at the end of the Episode 5.15 Unfaithful was written by Laurie? Here's a fan video with the whole song, titled Cuddy's Serenade:

I did a little more research into Laurie's past as a keyboardist/pianist, and found a few fast facts about him:

- Laurie performed as a keyboardist with the rock band Poor White Trash and the Little Big Horns.

- He currently plays keyboards with Band From TV - a band that features television stars and raises money for various charities.

- Hugh told an interviewer that [music is] the one place where he can really lose himself: "I can sit at my piano for what seems like five minutes, but when I look at the clock it's three in the morning." (Daily Mail, Dec. 7, 1996)

- Laurie plays New Orleans jazz with his kids. One son plays sax, another son plays drums, and his daughter plays clarinet.

- Laurie's favorite musician is Muddy Waters.

- Discs that Hugh Laurie would take on a desert island include: I Want to Be Loved, by Muddy Waters; Bruch's Violin Concerto No.I performed by the Pinchas Zuckerman with the London Philharmonic Orchestra; Tumbling Dice, by the Rolling Stones; (Love Is)The Tender Trap, by Frank Sinatra and Count Basie; Hit Me with your Rhythm Stick, by Ian Dury and the Blockheads; Theme Tune from The Sea Hawk, by Erich Korngold;Me Minus You Equals Loneliness" by Dr. John; Brown Eyed Girl, by Van Morrison

I didn't even dig into his past as a guitar player. I bet there's a treasure trove of information just on Hugh and his guitar. More to come, I'm sure.

HUGH LAURIE SPEAKS FRENCH! OUI!

November 2, 2009
Here's an oldie but goodie. Hugh Laurie and Helen Miren at the '06 Oscars. Miren is announcing the nominees for outstanding lead actor in a mini-series or movie, and Laurie is "translating" in French. His comic timing is impeccable, and Miren keeps an excellent straight face. Enjoy!

Brave Heart Recap

House - Episode 6.05 - Brave Heart
Airdate: October 19, 2009
Author: #1hotchfan

A suspect in a hat is running, being pursued by police. He runs through a parking lot, chased by several cops on foot. Several cop cars pull up, the officers get out of their vehicles and join in the foot pursuit. The suspect jumps over partial walls and obstacles like he's a gymnast. The detectives wonder what kind of man they are chasing. They think they’ve pinned him down, draw their guns and tell him he has no where to go. The man jumps out a window and takes off. The suspect ends up surrounded in an alley by cops. Rather than being captured, he begins climbing the pipes to the roof. Once he reaches the top, he makes the jump to the roof across the alley. Two detectives chase him and one injures his ankle on his way up the stairs. The second detective, Donny Johnson, follows and decides to follow the suspect to the other roof. He runs across the roof and jumps but doesn’t make it; he falls 30 feet and lands on his back.

At the E.R., Cameron is treating Donny. He wants to be discharged but Cameron tells him he’s lucky to be alive. Donny has two broken bones, a concussion and collapsed lung. The partner tells Cameron that Donny’s father and grandfather died when they turned 40. Donny doesn't allow anyone close and takes risks because he thinks he's next because he turns 40 the following week. Cameron offers to refer him to a cardiologist but Donny says he’s already done that. All the cardiologist’s he saw told him he was fine. She says, “If there is something wrong, I know a doctor who will find it.”

Wilson comes out of his bedroom and sees House on the couch. After seeing some movement under the covers, Wilson says, “Oh my god! I’ll be back in 10.” House tells him he was only picking lint out of his belly button. They talk about their living arrangements. Wilson moved into the den when Amber died and turned their bedroom into the den (or a shrine for Amber as House calls it). House tells Wilson he's avoiding moving on. Finally Wilson says he’ll have a mattress delivered and House can move into the den. As Wilson is walking away, House tells him he wasn't really picking lint out of his belly button.

The team gathers in House's office to discuss their new case. Donny has never gotten married, he has no kids because he didn't want to pass his genes on to anyone else. He is convinced he's going to die when he turns 40 and didn't want to put anyone through losing him like when he lost his father. The team toss around a few theories then head out to run tests on Donny. Chase follows Cameron and Foreman and sees visions of DiBala in the ICU. He takes off his watch, slips it into his pocket, then lies to Cameron and says he forgot it. He heads back to the locker room to see if he can find it.

Cuddy goes into House's office to discuss his employment status. She tells him "pretend time has been going on long enough." She hands him a slip and tells him he needs to complete 100 hours of rounds to re-qualify for his medical license. House feels he doesn't need to do the rounds, Cuddy can just sign off on his hours. Cuddy insists he do the rounds. He has to meet up with Dr. Sing at 7am on Thursday. Dr. Sing will be supervising House on rounds.

After running tests on Donny's heart, the team comes up empty handed. Their next step is to exhume the bodies of his father and grandfather. They get Donny's consent and Chase and Foreman are in the morgue examining the remains. Foreman points out that Chase is avoiding the ICU because it's where DiBala died. Chase admits he's crossed some line and is having trouble getting back to the other side. Foreman encourages him to tell Cameron, she's his wife. Cameron comes in and is surprised to discover they have the remains already. Chase tells her with Donny's consent, it was easy.

As House is preparing to leave for the day, a woman named Cheryl comes in asking about Donny. Cheryl is Donny's ex. girlfriend but she doesn't want to see him. She knows of his family history. House begins to blow her off, but Cheryl admits Donny has a son but she never told him. House picks up the phone and tells her to call and give him the news.

House is in his new bed in the study. He looks around and there are photos of Amber or Amber and Wilson all over. He hears whispering and listens. When it doesn't go away, he turns the light on. He gets out of bed and goes to Wilson's room and opens the door. Wilson turns and asks if House is okay. He says he's fine, goes back to bed but the minute he turns the light out, he hears the whispering again.

In the morning, the team reconvenes to go over Donny's case. They wonder where House is when Chase finds a post-it note from House. House writes that the bleeding hearts should continue working on their non-case, he's going back to school. Cameron is assigned to run tests on Michael, Donny's son. She encourages Cheryl to tell Donny about Michael as they both have a right to know. Cheryl is reluctant at first because she knows Donny doesn't want children, but finally agrees. Cheryl goes to Donny's room. She admits she was pregnant when they broke up but kept it form him because she knew he didn't want kids. Donny is not happy and refuses to meet Michael. Cheryl is insistent he meets his son and finally brings the boy into the room. Michael introduces himself then asks Donny about going to the movies when he gets better. Donny tells Michael his father died when Donny was his age and as much as it hurts, he'll feel better.

House is doing rounds with Dr. Sing and a group of interns. One of the women, Nona, presents the patients case and says the woman is ready to go home. Suddenly, the woman begins choking and the interns rush to help her. Dr. Sing looks over and tells House to get off the test button. House had been leaning on it and set the woman off into an attack. The interns look at House and don't know what to make of him while Dr. Sing says Cuddy warned him about House. House starts to move away from the bed and intentionally catches the hose for the catheter with his cane. The hose comes off, spraying urine all over the floor. House tells Sing he gets the drill and to make it easy on himself. House hands him the slip to sign off on his hours.

House returns to the office. Cameron asks, "Don't you have school?" "Sorry, recess," House replies. The team bounces off more ideas/theories regarding Donny's condition because all the tests have come out negative so far. House says he'll convince the patient nothing is wrong with him. When Chase offers nothing, House tells Chase to walk with him. In the elevator, House tries to convince Chase he needs to talk to someone. "Glad we had this little moment," House says and walks away. Chase follows and they enter Donny's room. House tells Donny that he has Ortolli Syndrome. House turns to Chase to offer information as to what it is. Chase stumbles over an explanation and tells Donny the treatment is medication. House hands Donny two white pills, a glass of water and says that he has to take the pills twice a day for a week and he'll live a long and healthy life.

It's bedtime again for House. He turns out the lights in the den and hears a noise. He turns to look and hears pounding and thinks something is going on. From the other room, Wilson tells him to answer the door. House asks if Wilson is watching television, which Wilson claims he's not. House opens the door and finds Foreman standing there. House is a bit disoriented as he thinks he's hearing things and losing his mind. Foreman tells House that Donny collapsed 4 hours after they discharged him, he's dead. His apartment manager found him conscious on the floor. By the time the EMT's arrived, it was too late, he was dead.

In their apartment, Chase sits on the bed fully dressed. He wakes Cameron and she is surprised to find him up and fully clothed. He tells her he needs to go and tell Cheryl that Donny is dead. Cameron looks at the clock and realizes it's only 4:00am. She tells Chase it can wait, he should come back to bed. Chase tells her it's a 2 hour drive and if he leaves then, he'll get there about the time Cheryl is getting up. He feels she should hear the news in person. Cameron asks him what is wrong. She gave him space the week before due to the DiBala presentation but he's still acting weird. She wants to know what is wrong. Chase tells her it's nothing. As he's leaving, she tells him she loves him.

In the morgue, Foreman is prepping to do the autopsy on Donny's body. He turns on the microphone and begins explaining the proceedings. House grabs the bone-saw to cut Donny's chest open. When Foreman puts his hand out to stop House, House says, "I don't think there is anything I can screw up that we haven't already screwed up." Foreman reminds House he can't do an autopsy without a medical license. Foreman grabs the saw from House, begins dictating and cuts into Donny's chest. House gets a puzzled look on his face and Foreman stops and gets the same look. Foreman notices Donny is bleeding, which isn't normal if he's dead. Suddenly, Donny's eyes open up and he screams. House says, "The autopsy is going to have to wait."

The team regroups to discuss the case. The theory they come up with is Genetic Predisposition to Autoimmune disease. Cameron goes in to start Donny on steroids. Donny tells Cameron his jaw hurts. He grips about how everything that has been tried doesn't work.

House is undergoing a hearing test. When the test is done, the doctor tells him his ears are fine. House explains how he is hearing things, voices. She tells him his ears are fine, that's all she can treat. It could be psychosis and he'd have to talk to someone else about it.

House walks into Cuddy's office. She holds up his practicum slip and congratulates him on doing all his hours in 1 day. House admits he was bad, says, "allow me" and tears up the slip. Cuddy tells him she'll be supervising his practicum from now on. He tells her not to bother, he's not ready to be a doctor again. He apologizes and walks out of her office.

Wilson comes home and finds House sleeping on the couch. House says he fell asleep watching television. When Wilson points out that House has made up the couch as a bed, House says the heater in the den is all screwed up. Wilson offers to be there if House needs to talk.

A nurse is tending to Donny. He complains to her that his jaw still hurts, a lot. He complains his tooth hurts as well. The nurse informs him he is maxed out in pain medication and leaves. Donny gets out of bed and walks over to the medical stand. He goes through it until he finds a pair of surgical scissors, puts them in his mouth and pulls out his tooth.

The team meets up in the hallway. Cameron asks if they should wait for House, but Foreman explains House told Cuddy he wasn't ready yet. They had a dentist examine the tooth Donny pulled out and found nothing wrong with it. Cameron wonders if it's bone cancer, so they agree to do an MRI to find out.

House is lying on the couch but doesn't hear any noises, except the barking of a dog outside. He gets up and goes into the den. He turns on the lights and looks around. Suddenly, he hears the whispering again and looks around until he hears it louder. He uncovers a vent and leans down to listen. House quietly walks to Wilson's room and opens the door. Wilson, with his back to the door, is in bed talking to his dead girlfriend, Amber. House quietly shuts the door and leaves.

Cameron and Foreman have Donny in MRI to run tests. Cameron tells Foreman she feels Chase is lying to her. Not wanting to get in the middle, Foreman says, "I'll tell you what I told Chase. Talk to him, he's your husband."

In the morning, Wilson comes out and is surprised there is no breakfast. House admits to Wilson he's having hallucinations, he's hearing whispering. He feels he needs treatment and wants to check himself back into Mayfield. Wilson says he'll bring him if it's what he wants, just let him have tea first. House stands up and says he's having hallucinations without being on vicoden. He pushes Wilson's buttons until Wilson calls him an ass. Wilson admits he's talking to Amber because he misses her, it makes him feel better and talking to House doesn't.

House joins Dr. Sing, the interns and Cuddy on rounds. Cuddy wants to know what is going on and they exchange words. She finally walks with him into the hallway. One of the interns comments how Cuddy really hates house. The other intern says, "That's not hate, it's foreplay."

The MRI results are back and reveal Donny doesn't have bone cancer. House wants to know where Chase is. Cameron says she doesn't know. House says he's going to go for a lap and when he returns he hopes they have 3 new ideas, which aren't stupid. As he starts to walk out, it occurs to him that where there's pain, there's nerves. He thinks it's Hereditary Sensory Autonomic Neuropathy, Type I. Cameron says she'll get Donny started on the medicine. House says that Chase specifically asked to do it. He shows up in the lounge and wakes Chase up, asking if he's getting help. House tells Chase he doesn't care how much the room scares him, he's going to do his damn job. While Chase is hooking up the IV, he sees visions of DiBala bleeding out in the bed. He's clearly shaken and can't wait to leave. Donny wants to know how long before the team crosses this diagnosis off the list. As Chase is leaving, he turns and asks Donny if he's ever killed anyone. Donny says no but he knows 2 cops who did. One cop likened it to taking out the trash and the other nearly drank himself to death. Chase wants to know if the man got help. Donny replies, "Help didn't help." Suddenly, Donny screams out, "Oh my god," and when Chase asks what's wrong, Donny admits he went to the bathroom.

The team reconvenes again to talk about Donny's latest symptoms. Donny has lost bowel control. House makes a joke, "I wouldn't want to be the duty nurse on his floor. Get it 'Doody' nurse." They wonder if Donny has Wilson's disease but that wouldn't explain the problems with his liver. Foreman thinks the liver could be so far gone that the test results are normal.

Chase goes to confession. Chase blurts out he killed a man. He admits he's a doctor and he feels he did the right thing. "Who lives or dies, it's not your decision to make," the priest replies. Chase asks for forgiveness. The priest tells him 10 Hail Mary's won't get him forgiveness. Chase wants to know what god wants him to do. The priest tells Chase he needs to take responsibility for absolution, he needs to turn himself into the police.

House paces the office, holding his tennis ball. He's sitting on the floor thinking about the case when Cuddy walks in. She hands him his practicum slip, she signed off on his hours. "Going by the book was pointless. You weren't going to learn anything anyway," she tells him. House comments about the sexual tension between them, which Cuddy denies. He tells her it was sexual tension, he felt something funny. Cuddy asks him if he's okay and he says yes. He wants to know if they are okay, which she responds yes. Cuddy says, "You push my buttons, I push yours." Suddenly, House has an "A-ha" moment and realizes what is wrong with Donny. He gets up off the floor and tells Cuddy, you do make me feel funny."

House goes into Donny's room and sits down. He tells Donny he's not going to die. Donny thinks House is going to lie to him again but House assures him he knows what's wrong. He tells him he has an inter-cranial aneurysm. It grew as he got older until it finally let go. House asks if he wants to call Michael, visiting hours don't apply to his patients. Donny says he will, just not right then.

Both Donny and Michael have the brain surgery to remove the aneurysm. Donny is wheeled into Michael's room. He asks Michael what kinds of movies he likes, which makes Michael smile.

Cameron is home on the phone. She's pacing telling the police Chase has been missing for 8 hours. Chase walks in, overhears her and calls out. She tells the police Chase is home and hangs up. She wants to know where he's been as it's 2:00am. She realizes he's drunk. Chase tells her he needed to get wasted, he did and now he's better. He walks up to hug Cameron but she steps back and walks away.

It's bedtime for House. He puts earplugs in, puts his head down on the pillow and closes his eyes. After a few seconds, he opens them and talks to his father. On the other side of the wall, Wilson smiles when House yells, "Wilson! This is stupid!" Wilson says to Amber, "You see. He is getting better."

House - Episode 6.04 - Instant Karma
Airdate: October 12, 2009
Author: #1hotchfan

A man is sitting on a bench outside at the end of a walkway, he looks sad. His dog is lying beside him with a tennis ball in front of him. A woman calls his name, "Mr. Randell." The man returns to the house. In the dining room, there is a business meeting going on. The man doesn't really listen to the people at the table and appears arrogant when he tells them his decisions. He ends the meeting partway through, which upsets the rest of the staff. They interrupted their day, drove through town to get to his house only to complete half their business. The man doesn't care. He heads upstairs into his son's room and talks with the doctor. The doctor says the diagnosis is not what he thought. He recommends the father get the boy to the hospital. The boy, Jack, wants to know if he is going to die. His father, Roy, tells him no. When Jack asks how he knows, Roy says, I"m always right aren't I?" The boys smiles and agrees.

Roy meets with Cuddy in her office. He wants House on the his son's case. Cuddy tells him House isn't available. He offers to send his private jet to pick up House wherever he is vacationing. Cuddy tells him House isn't on vacation. "In Jail? In Rehab?" Roy asks. Cuddy tells him his son will be in good hands with Foreman, Chase and Cameron. Roy says his son has already been in good hands and he's still dying. He is through with good, he wants the best and everyone says that is House. Unless House is dead or dying, Roy wants House treating his son, today.

Cuddy goes into House's office to meet with the team. She has already told House about Jack. She says the patient will still be Foreman's but House will be in the lead. Cuddy tells Foreman to not let House do anything crazy. "When is he getting his license back so we can stop playing this game?" asks Foreman. "Maybe never. This game is fun" House replies. Cuddy tells Foreman he has to present the DiBala case. Chase argues that they have more important things to do than satisfying everyone's idle curiosity. Cuddy tells him it's not idle curiosity. She leaves them to hash out Jack's case.

Cameron begins with the boys symptoms: abdominal pains increasing in severity and frequency, fever, dehydration, diarrhea and weight loss. Reading the file, House says the boy has seen 17 doctors. They need to rerule things out. He tells them to get a new history and physical on Jack. When Foreman looks at him, House says, "Unless that is crazy, Boss."

Cameron goes to Jack's room and conducts a physical, with Roy present. She asks if they have been out of the country or camping recently. Roy says they went to Montreal in January. Jack tells her they went to an all-star game for his birthday. Roy asks where House is. Cameron replies, "He's in his office. he's more of a decider than a doer. He wants us to start over because you never know what previous doctors may have missed. Like this..." She pushes on the boy's belly and asks him if it hurts more. He says no. When Roy asks what it is, Cameron says she doesn't know.

Back in the office, Foreman and Chase are going over the DiBala presentation. Chase tells Foreman to keep it clean, simple. "We did a test that called into question the initial diagnosis so they changed their minds," Chase says. Foreman wants to know what they should say if asked about the test. Chase says that it's a routine test. Foreman responds with, "A routine lab test doesn't involve blood you stole from a corpse you used to trick me into giving the guy the wrong treatment." Chase says, "Yes, and if you brought that up, it'd certainly make for a lively debate about the morality of murdering murderers." Chase tells Foreman that he burned the evidence and backed Chase up and nobody can prove anything. The body is buried 8,000 miles away. Foreman says, "The room is going to be filled p. Not because of a coin flip. Not because of a patient. But because House's department screwed up. They're going to be like sharks in a chum-filled swimming pool. And there's no way I'm jumping in unless I'm in a steel cage." Foreman wants to know that Chase has everything cover. From behind them, House asks, "What covered?". Chase stands up and tells House they were just going over the DiBala case and making sure they didn't miss anything. House says, "We didn't unless of course the thing that kill him."

Cameron comes in and shows the team Jack's x-rays. She says that he is constipated. Chase says, "Hirschsprung's disease - a congenital disorder of the nerves in the colon, very rare in a boy his age." They have to give the boy a barium enema and do a biopsy in order to confirm their diagnosis.

House sits down at a table at an outside cafe and says to the woman behind him, "Misty May digs for gold, put it in quotes." Thirteen turns around and tells him she's making travel plans. He wants to know if she's done with her little experiment with Foreman. She tells him it wasn't an experiment. She says she is glad House is better. She really liked working for him but she's not coming back. They exchange a little chit chat about her coming back. House gets up, begins to walk away and tells her to enjoy Cabo. She tells him she's going to Thailand.

Cameron reviews the x-rays they've done on Jack over the course of over a week and they show his colon is clear. Roy is thrilled his son is pain free for the first time in months and Jack says he's starving. Cameron checks Jack's belly and says while it feels better, it appears larger. Just then, jack begins to have a seizure. The treatment they give him doesn't work so they rush him into surgery to release the pressure in his brain before he suffers irreversible brain damage. As they hook Jack up in the O.R., Roy finally gives his consent. Chase, who is prepped and ready, drills a hole in the boy's brain, which relieves the pressure. Cameron goes out to tell the father, while Chase asks what happened. Foreman has no idea.

After the procedure, the team realizes Jack has not had any more seizures. However, he is continuing to build up fluid in his abdominal and dural cavities. Foreman asks the team if they notice anything odd about the shape of the fluid collection. House says, "Oh god, the Virgin Mary." Foreman points out the shape is "off" so House recommends they do a dural biopsy to rule out brain cancer.

In the backseat of a taxi, Thirteen is calling to confirm her plane reservations. The driver asks how long she's going for. She hesitates and says she doesn't know but is very lucky that a friend of hers is staying at her place while she's gone. She has a big dog that needs to be walked and fed. The drive tells her that he has a job, he's not going to rob her. Thirteen replies, "We're strangers. I don't know if your honest or dishonest." He tells her it's a nice way to live her life and calls her a *****. She says she apologized. Thirteen gets someone at the airline and tries to use her frequent flier miles to upgrade to business class. The driver tells her that obviously she is a stranger so welcome to his car. Thirteen is upset to learn she is not even booked on the flight and informs the airline it's their problem, not hers. She tells them she is on her way to the airport, she had already confirmed her reservations the night before.

Outside Jack's room, Chase and Cameron tell Roy about the possibility of his son having brain cancer. Cancer tells him there's no visible signs of a mass so it's possibly they caught it early. The father sarcastically replies, "Oh so your telling me him having cancer is a good thing?" He apologizes to Cameron as he signs the consent form. Chase gets paged to go and help Foreman prep for the biopsy. Cameron says once she's done getting Jack ready, she'll join them. Chase tells her not to. She feels she should stay at the hospital if he is. He tells her to go home and get some sleep because he's going to wake her when he gets in so she'll need the rest.

Thirteen shows up at Wilson's. House opens the door and she tells him to stay out of her life. She accuses him of spying on her and then canceling her plane reservations. House says he was talking to her, but spying on the MILF in shorts. She believes he sabotaged her reservations to get her back on the team. House says that with her out of the picture, Foreman is working better than ever, so why would he want her back? House says it doesn't matter which island in the Bahamas she is going to be in, or Cabo. She says she told him she was going to Thailand.

In the office, Foreman informs Chase that when Cameron ran DiBala's blood, the printout he got was only what tests Cameron ordered. The lab did a full work up and Chase didn't check the man's cholesterol. Foreman informs a speechless Chase that he was off by 20%.

Cameron is sleeping in bed and her alarm goes off. She wakes, turns it off, then rolls over to find Chase never came home. Meanwhile, Chase and Foreman are at the hospital going over the DiBala case. Chase feels tat DiBala didn't die of high cholesterol, so why would anyone check. He mentions maybe Cameron calculated the numbers incorrectly. Foremen doesn't want to stack lie upon like. Cameron walks up and asks Chase where he was. He apologizes and says he got tied up. She's a little upset he stood her up when he said he'd wake her. She tells them Jack's biopsy results are in and it's not cancer.

Sitting in the office, Foreman asks, "How can so much be wrong with nothing being wrong?" Cameron suggests Adno Carcinoma of the stomach, which would cause all of Jack's symptoms but not show up on the CT. Chase stays quiet. Foreman sends Chase and Cameron to go scope Jack and get another set of biopsies. When they leave, House accuses Foreman of canceling Thirteen's reservations. Foreman doesn't know what House is talking about and feels he has done all he can with Thirteen, all he has left is to move on.

Leaving the office, Cameron quietly asks Chase what is wrong. Chase is defensive and denies anything is wrong. She tells him he can't hide it from her. He finally tells her there is a discrepancy in the DiBala blood panels and asks her to not tell Foreman he told her.

Jack remains unconscious while Roy stands there and blames himself. He tells Cameron and Chase that he inherited his business when he was 24. How he has made major deals which have resulted in a lot of money. He wonders why everything he does, everything he touches turns to gold, except his family. First he lost his wife, now his son. He feels it's his fault, it's karma. Cameron tells him it's not true just as the boy begins to seize again. When they check Jack's readouts, they realize it's not inter-cranial pressure.

House stands in the hallway, looking at Jack and his father. Chase says the seizures have stopped but Jack hasn't regained consciousness. There is no sign of masses in Jack's stomach or esophageal lining and he's still accumulating subdural and pertinal fluids. The tests are ruling out cancer. Chase thinks it's an infection but all the tests are coming back negative. Cameron wonders if it's abdominal epilepsy and the seizures would look like pain and protein malnutrition would cause fevers. Foreman looks at House and asks if he's certain. House says, "I'd be a lot more certain it if was my idea. It's the best we got." Foreman sends Cameron in to begin antibiotics. Chase runs after Foreman to talk about the DiBala case. He recommends Foreman state that Chase prescribed something but didn't chart it. Foreman figures Chase is going to accuse the pharmacy of bad bookkeeping until Chase suggests they say he just went up and took it out. Foreman walks away and says he'll handle it.

Foreman goes into Cuddy's office and tells her he can't present the DiBala case. He tells her he doesn't have time, House is pawning his responsibilities onto Foreman. Cuddy reminds Foreman that he wanted House's job and the responsibilities are his, not House's. Foreman says, "I wanted to be in charge, not a figurehead." He argues that he doesn't want to do the presentation but Cuddy holds firm. Foreman comes out of Cuddy's office and Chase is waiting. He wants to know if it worked and Foreman replies, "Not even close."

From a seat in the hallway, House is watching Jack and Roy. Cuddy walks up to see how he's doing. She informs him that Thirteen called and said someone hacked into her email and canceled her reservations. Cuddy thinks Foreman did it. House is surprised that she's not accusing him. Cuddy wants to know if he still believes Foreman should be in charge. He tells her that Foreman loves power, he loves puzzles. Cuddy says, "You love power and puzzles." House says, "But when I had both..... It wasn't Foreman because he said he'd moved on." House's beeper goes off so he says it's time to get off the bench. He walks into Jack's room and Roy realizes he's House. House says, "I hear you're a fan. I'll have my guy send over a signed glossy." Cameron paged House to tell him Jack doesn't have abdominal epilepsy. She shows him a rash on Jack's chest. House says, "I didn't expect that. Damn it, I knew I should have stayed outside. Fantasy is always so much better than reality." The father asks if House thinks it's a joke, his boy is dying and neither of them know why. "I know. That's why it's so interesting," House says.

Pacing in the office, while the team sits at the table, House reviews Jack's symptoms. Foreman says it could be an allergic reaction to the meds, which House rules out. Chase comes up with
"Polyarteristis nodosa." Foreman challenges everything Chase says. House agrees with Chase and Foreman looks at him. House says, it's not his decision. They should start Jack on prednisone and get a testicular biopsy - if Jack has any real inflammation, it will be down there. Foreman says he'll do it with Cameron. Cameron asks what is going on. First he wanted Chase to help him with the prep. Foreman claims nothing. House asks Cameron if the rash is on Jack's penis. He says it's most likely affect the small blood vessesl which explains why they didn't see any inflammation on the biopsies. He says it's not polyarteristis nodosa, it's Degos Disease. When the team looks at him, he's says he'll do it.

House goes in to see Roy. He tells him Jack has Degos Disease. Roy wants to know what the treatment is and House tells him it's incurable. Roy insists House is wrong, he's already been wrong a bunch of times. House rechecked all the biopsies. Roy wants to know how long Jack has. House says, not much longer, a day at the most.

House is grabbing his stuff from the office and sees Chase in turmoil at the conference table. Chase gets up and goes to Cuddy's office. He tells her that Foreman can't present the DiBala case, it's not the time. Cuddy tells him she knows there busy but it has to be done. Chase starts to tell Cuddy the truth when they get interrupted. Cuddy is called to pediatric ICU by a bunch of lawyers. Before she goes she tells Chase that if they screwed up to just own up to it, it can't be that bad.

In Jack's room, Roy is standing there with his lawyers. They call him insane. House says he's irrational, not insane. Roy believes it's karma and if he gets rid of everything he has, it will help his son. The lawyers inform him that he will be bankrupt and thousands of lives will be affected. Roy says Jack isn't dying, he's not going to let him. He signs the paperwork to divest himself of his business and put people out of work. He made himself a poor man because he believed he could save Jack. Just then, Jack flatlines.

Thirteen shows up at Wilson's office. She thanks him and wonders if it was worth breaking the law. He says she's welcome but has no idea what she's talking about. Cuddy had the tech's chase IP addresses to find out who access her email; only her's and Wilson's IP addresses showed up. He tries to say it was House then admits he did it. He says House needs someone that doesn't need him. She's the only one who doesn't feed into his crazy vortex, she keeps his ego in check. Wilson tells her it's a great job, maybe even better now that House is at least trying to have real relationships with people. He tells Thirteen to not throw it all away due to a bad breakup. Thirteen says goodbye and walks out the door.

Wilson goes to House and says he confesses. House says he knows he didn't do it so why did he confess. "She's a smoking hot, newly single bisexual, " House says when Wilson asks why he doesn't want her to go. House feels Thirteen is making a mistake as she's a good doctor. House starts to tell Wilson he was born with a heart three sizes too small.... he heads in and finds Jack is still alive. Foreman comes out and House tells him it's not Degos Diseases. Jack has obstructed blood vessels and they can't be obstructed because of Degos. He says it's Antiphospholipid Syndrome. Foreman asks if he's sure. House says he isn't but will be if the boy responds to treatment. House says, "By the way, someone screwed over your girlfriend. She ran to me, Cuddy and Wilson. Everyone but you. She's not over you yet or she is..."

Chase reopens DiBala's file and finds some test results sitting on top. He goes to Foreman and brings the document. It shows that one of DiBala's doctors was prescribing medicine to increase the HDL #'s. Neither Foreman nor Chase requested the information, which means someone else knows.

When House awakens the next morning, the business section is on the arm of the couch. He opens it to read that Roy has declared bankruptcy. He goes to the hospital and stops by Jack's room. He finds Jack sitting up in bed, sharing a pizza with his father. Both father and son are smiling and happy. Roy tells House, "It worked." House says the medicine worked and then leaves. Jack and Roy just smile at each others.

House walks into the office and Chase is sitting at his desk, playing with his tennis ball. Chase wants to know how House knew. House explains that DiBala was a large man, it's only given that he would have cholesterol problems.. They talk for a few minutes and Chase tells House, as he hands him his tennis ball, that he will always be in charge.

Cameron walks up, turns off her alarm and rolls over. Chase didn't come home again. He's sitting in the auditorium listening to Foreman present the DiBala case. Meanwhile, Thirteen arrives at the airport and boards the plane to Thailand. Roy's house is up for sale with a "bank owned" sign in front of it. House sits in the lounge chair in his office......

House - Episode 6.03 - The Tyrant
Airdate: October 5, 2009
Author: #1hotchfan

President DiBala, an African politician, and his aide are driving down the street in the pouring rain. The aide, Joseph, isn't happy that DiBala is making the trip. DiBala wants to see his son, who is a student at a local university. DiBala is also in town to speak at a UN Conference. Suddenly a van pulls up and cuts off the front of DiBala's vehicle and a second one pulls up and stops behind it. The sliding door opens on the van in front of DiBala's car so Joseph tells him to stay down. Joseph gets out of the car, draws his gun and yells to the man in the van. The man reaches into his pocket and pulls out a plastic covered subpoena. He hands it to Joseph, it's a civil lawsuit against DiBala for genocide, his crimes against humanity and torture. The man returns to the van and both vans leave. DiBala exits his car and Joseph tells him of the subpoena and reminds him it's a US Civil suit and they don't have to respond. DiBala grabs the plastic bag to read the document and then begins to gag. Joseph watches as DiBala begins to throw up blood.

Chase meets up with Foreman in the hallway. He inquires as to what happened to the other team. Foreman tells him that he and Cameron are competent. Chase wants to know why Foreman fired his own girlfriend. Foreman tries to justify it by saying that he couldn't work with her and be in a relationship. Foreman feels their relationship would have suffered with him being the boss. Chase doesn't agree with Foreman's thinking.

Chase, Cameron and Foreman walk into House's office to find House sitting there. Cameron welcomes him back. House says, "Oh my god, it's three years ago. Does that mean I'm still crazy?" The three of them sit down with House to discuss the DiBala case. Chase explains that DiBala thinks it was an assasination attempt but there is no evidence of radiation in his hotel room or on the subpoena. Cameron mentions acid reflux. House mentions it could be poisoning and Chase says it's Dioxin poisoning. Foreman rushes to leave the room with his own diagnosis and House asks him if he's rushing out to diagnose because of House as he's rushing out of the room. Foreman sends Cameron and Chase to start an antibiotic for Dioxin poisoning.

In the patient room, DiBala asks Chase where he is from as he detects his British accent. Cameron stands by and listens, clearly disgusted at DiBala and what she knows of him. Chase is impressed that DiBala picked up on his accent and mentions he spent a year in the seminary. DiBala says that his two younger sisters were dying from consumption and it wasn't younger priests that they needed.

In Cuddy's office, she is talking to House and Foreman. House calls Foreman on his firing of Thirteen. Foreman claims it wasn't working out and he did the right thing. Foreman thinks House is screwing him over and House begins to answer sarcastically but then says he's not. Cuddy tells them that Foreman will remain in charge for now and Cameron and Chase will work for diagnostics until they can replace Taub and Thirteen. House is not allowed patient contact until his license is reinstated.

Foreman shows up at Thirteen's apartment. He tries to justify her firing. He tells her that the only reason he let her go was because their relationship wouldn't remain intact if he was in charge. He informs her he won't be in charge much longer and offers to hire her back. Foreman asks if she'll have dinner with him. Thirteen isn't happy and tells Foreman that he is a coward and hid behind the job to break up with her.

Chase goes in to see a patient. The man immediately tells Chase that he cannot treat DiBala. Chase turns to leave but the man says that DiBala killed his wife. He explains to Chase of how his wife was taken and then dumped on their lawn two weeks later, dead. He says that DiBala has committed massacres and will continue doing so, therefore Chase cannot allow DiBala to recover. Chase is shaken but apologizes to the man and leaves the room.

House returns to Wilson's apartment. Wilson asks, "How was your first day at school?" They chat about House's first day back to work but House stops and notices that Wilson didn't put garlic in his food. He sits down and notices Wilson isn't wearing his shoes either. House bangs his cane on the floor and realizes the problem is with the downstairs neighbor. Wilson tells him that the neighbor started complaining about the extra noise and smells after House moved in. He's trying to keep the peace. House's cell phone rings and he answers it, "Booty call? Give me 20 minutes to not shower." Cameron informs House that the patient is having a heart attack.

House walks into the office as the team is diagnosing DiBala. They discuss how the rash is gone, he has a slight fever. House mentions Lassa fever as a diagnosis. Foreman is unhappy with House and dismisses everything House has to say or offer. House keeps raising his hand each time he has something to offer the team. Foreman is annoyed and as the team shoots down theories, they finally agree it could be Lassa fever. Foreman concedes and begins to leave the room to start new medication on DiBala. House says, "It's great to have the whole team together isn't it." Chase raises his mug and Foreman just glares at House then leaves.

Foreman is in DiBala's room, hooking up new medication. DiBala asks Foreman if he has a girlfriend. With some hesitation, Foreman finally admits he does. DiBala says that given Foreman's look and the look of the woman in the hallway, it must be his girlfriend. Foreman turns around and sees Thirteen standing by the nurse's station. He goes out to join her and she mentions that she got a phone call for an interview but the funny thing is, she had been turned down after he fired her and she never submitted her resume. He admits the head of the Department owed him a favor. She tells him most men bring chocolates. He says, I'd stand outside your apartment all night holding up a boom box, you you told me you hate 80's music." Thirteen agrees to have dinner with him.

House returns to the apartment building. When he walks in, he sees a man with one arm missing at the mailbox. He realizes it's Wilson's neighbor. He tries to walk around the man and hide his face so he doesn't have to talk to him. When he turns around, the man is in his face. The man points out that it's House's cane that is causing the noise. House jokes about the rubber tip of his cane being so noisy. House apologizes and says they'll try and make it work. the man tells House to keep it down or they will have trouble.

Cameron is paged to DiBala's room. The President introduces a woman and says that they should use her blood to treat him as she has Lassa fever. Cameron is not happy with this turn of events and realizes what is going on. Joseph holds up a signed consent and Cameron refuses. She and the woman go to Cuddy's office. Cameron tries to get the woman to admit she's being coerced into giving her blood to save DiBala's wife but the woman only stands firm she wants to do this. When she leaves, Cuddy tells Cameron she'd rather have a needle prick on her conscience then the death of the woman's family members. She tells Cameron to proceed.

Chase is at the nurse's station and sees a man pushing equipment in the hallway. He stares at the man, trying to figure out where he remembers him from. As the man moves closer down the hallway, Chase realizes it's the man who asked him to not treat DiBala. He runs, yelling "Don't let him in there." As he rounds the corner, he hears gunshots. When Chase enters the room, he sees a bullet in the wall and a bullet hole in some equipment. Joseph is on the floor bashing the face of the man. Chase goes over to check on DiBala and notices his right eye is bleeding but his left one isn't. Joseph and a security guard ask if DiBala was shot and Chase informs them he wasn't.

In the hallway, Chase tries to help the man out by cleaning him up. He tells him he needs to get a lawyer and if he can't afford one, he can get a court appointed lawyer. The man says he cannot be helped. He admits to Chase that the woman he told him about was not his wife. When Chase asks who she was, the man says, "They never told me her name." He says, "What his man made us do to that woman...." Chase is horrified as he listens.

Chase returns home and Cameron is upset about what happened. She tells him he could have been killed. Chase calms her down and hugs her. Cameron admits to him she wishes DiBala was dead.

Back in the office, the team is discussing DiBala's latest symptom. House walks in and says he's not going to say a word as he feels like he's undermining Foreman's authority. Foreman comes up with a diagnosis but House pulls out the chest x-ray. Chase deciphers what House isn't "saying" and House gives him at thumbs up. Foreman comes up with another theory and House once again, makes a hand gesture. When Chase doesn't get it, Foreman says House is talking about the patients temperature. This continues to the point where House tries to spell something out and then tells Cameron to spread her legs to help him make an "H." House finally tells them that the LDH is normal and it can't be lymphoma. Foreman disagrees and sends Cameron and Chase to biopsy the lymph node. As House goes to leave, he tells Foreman to close the blinds, it's really bright in there. Foreman looks at the blinds, walks over and closes them. Written on the blinds is, "Lymphoma, ta da!"

In Wilson's office, he admits he's upset with House for talking to the neighbor. House tells Wilson he believes the neighbor is faking being a veteran. Wilson begins to believe House is up to his old tactics until House admits he looked the guy up online under Veterans. House says there is no mention of the man and he's not old enough to have served in the war. Wilson tells House to drop it and he needs to write a letter of apology to the man. He wants House to leave it on the man's doorstep quietly. House still believes he can prove the man wrong.

After the shooting incident, Chase is in treating DiBala. DiBala thanks Chase for saving his life. Chase calls DiBala on what he learned from the other man. The President argues that he's frighting a guerrilla war, trying to impose order and trying to prevent genocide. he says his youngest son is a student and hasn't spoken to him in years because of the lies in the US newspapers. "I hired men who in their zeal, stepped over the line. There were abuses. But that will not happen again," DiBala tells Chase.

House writes a letter of apology to Wilson's neighbor. He heads to the man's door to leave it on his doorstep. There are water buckets and cleaning material outside the man's door, and a cleaning woman comes out with trash, leaving the door partway open. House resists the temptation to go inside and puts the letter down in front of the door. When he turns to leave, he slips on the floor and falls, dumping one of the buckets of water in the process. He grabs his letter and hurriedly gets up. He tries wiping up some of the floor and calls out "Hello." When nobody answers, House enters and puts the letter on the end table. As he begins to leave, he stops and takes a step back. He turns and notices a framed Canadian flag on the wall.

Chase goes into the lab to talk to Cameron. He's upset about her saying she wanted the man to kill DiBala. She thinks it would be justified for what DiBala has done. Chase tries to tell her differently as he believes what DiBala had just told him, that he was innocent. Cameron pulls up DiBala's test results and tells him it's not lymphoma.

Wilson's neighbor comes home. When he approaches his door, House calls out to him from the stairway. House informs the man, "Canada didn't send troops to Vietnam you idiot." The man tells House that the Canadian troops were indeed sent in and why. He tells House that he got his arm blown off saving a 12 year old boy from a land mine. House says, "Oh."

In DiBala's room, he asks Chase about his lymphoma test results. Chase tells him and Joseph that it's not lymphoma. DiBala asks the same question again, which draws concerned looks from Chase and Joseph.

Foreman and Thirteen are having dinner in a nice restaurant. They tread on thin ice when Thirteen brings up being fired. Foreman tells Thirteen there were two alternatives and he took one. She tells him there was a third one, he could have stepped aside. She says that Cameron and Chase were both qualified to run diagnostics as well. She asks him if he could do it all over again.... Foreman says he made the right decision. Thirteen looks unhappy, stands up, grabs her coat and leaves.

Chase is in DiBala's room, checking his vitals. Outside the room, Joseph approaches Cameron for her confidential medical opinion. He wants to know if DiBala is capable of thinking clearly. Cameron sees the opportunity and places doubt in the man's mind. The man steps away and Chase buzzes her to tell her DiBala is spiking a fever.

In the office, House is reviewing the test results and file. Foreman wonders why House isn't being clever. House replies, "A patient's dying, I don't have time for clever." House brings up fungal lesions but the rest of the team disagrees with him. Cameron waivers and House points out that she's made it clear she dislikes the man and doesn't want to treat him, but yet she remains. He says to her, "Take a stand, either do something or shut up." House says he'll go to Cuddy to get her opinion. Foreman says, "This isn't a democracy and I don't care who you get. At least for right now, this is my department." He tells Cameron and Chase what to treat DiBala for and sends them out.

As Cameron is injecting medication into DiBala's IV, he grabs her arm. He tells her she should put an air bubble in it, give him another heart attack and nobody can tell what causes it. he calls her on what she told Joseph and said if she wants him dead, she should just do it herself. Cameron hesitates for a minute and then puts the medication into his IV. She says, "I guess I didn't want you dead after all." She leaves the room and Chase tells DiBala, "Touch my wife again and I'll kick our ass out onto the street, no matter who you are." DiBala is clearly upset and angry and tells Chase that Cameron is too weak to act on her beliefs, everybody is. He says his advisers are scum, appeasers.... Chase says, "Cockroaches...what are you going to do about them." DiBala says, "In my world, there are dangers, blood shed, and death. That makes you a man and men make choices." Chase says he saved DiBala's life and he deserves to know what DiBala is planning. He tells Chase whatever it takes to protect his country.

Back at the apartment, Wilson tells House the neighbor called. Wilson believes House broke into the man's apartment. When House offers to fix things, Wilson says he already did. The neighbor was going to press charges but he isn't now because Wilson promised that House would be leaving. Wilson tells a shocked House that he will explain it to his psychiatrist but he truly believes House has changed enough to know this is the right thing to do.

Cameron approaches Chase. She makes a stand and tells him that she believes in House's diagnosis and wants to work on an antiserum. They run tests and go to Foreman with the results, which aren't conclusive enough to make a firm decision. Foreman disagrees with them and goes with his theory on what is wrong with DiBala and won't listen to Cameron. Before she leaves she asks him if he has admitted to Thirteen that he was wrong yet in firing her. She tells him that she's worked with him long enough to know that when he's wrong, he will admit it. She gets him to back down and agree with their diagnosis and treatment. The three of them head out to treat DiBala.

Wilson's neighbor returns home and lets himself into his apartment. When he shuts his door, House grabs him and injects a needle into his neck. When the man awakens, he is tied to a chair with duct tape and has tape over his mouth. House talks to the man, who looks like he's about to cry and is scared. House brings out a box and puts it on the table in front of the man. He grabs the man's right arm, which is missing his hand and puts it into a hole in front of the box. He unties the man's left arm and has him put that arm in the second hole. Once he does, House closes the top of the box over the man's right hand. House announces he's doing mirror magic. In the mirror the man sees his right hand. House has him clench and make a fist, then says he prays it will work. After a few moments, he has the man unclench both hands and the man begins to cry. House removes the duct tape off his mouth and the man, sobbing, says for 36 years, he has been in pain and now it is finally gone. He thanks House.

Chase is performing a procedure on DiBala, Joseph and two other men come into the room and Foreman holds them back. They discover a bleeder in DiBala's lung and Chase cauterizes the bleeding. They think it's going well as DiBala stabilizes but suddenly blood starts coming out of DiBala's mouth. Chase goes back in and finds the bleeder and goes to cauterize it and discovers there are a dozen holes in his lung, there is no way to stop them all in time. Cameron shocks DiBala's heart and they try to revive him as he flat-lines. The trio look at each other in shock when they realize DiBala is dead.

Foreman is sitting at his desk when House comes in. House tells him if he wants to curl up and cry, the lounge chair is more comfy. He gets Foreman to think about what happened. Foreman tells him that DiBala's country wants their own doctor to do the autopsy, they can't even get near the body as it's under lock and key. House says, "There's a reason I hired you. You just don't know what to do with a locked door."

Foreman goes into the locker room where Chase is sitting. He tells him how he went to the morgue to run tests but couldn't get past the guard. However, he pulls up the sign in sheet for the morgue. Chase had signed into the morgue earlier that morning. Foreman accuses Chase of taking the blood of a 70 year old woman and using it make misdiagnose DiBala. Chase finally admits what he did and says that Cameron had nothing to do with it. Foreman is angry at what Chase has done but Chase tries to justify it with all of DiBala's misdeeds. He tells Foreman that if they admit the truth of what happened to DiBala, he becomes a martyr and the massacres will begin. Foreman tells Chase that he covers it up, he becomes his accomplice. Chase asks Foreman to just give him a heads up if he's going to be arrested so he can tell his wife first. Foreman says, "Chase you really think you can kill another human being without any consequences to yourself?"

House returns to the apartment. Wilson tells him the neighbor called and was happy. The neighbor approved the garden expansion and isn't pressing charges against House if he doesn't move out. Wilson asked what House did but then says he wants to give House the benefit of the doubt. House sits down and they watch t.v.

House - Episode 6.02 - Epic Fail
Airdate: September 28, 2009
Author: #1hotchfan

Vince and two employees are playing a virtual reality game. The employees realize Vince is no longer playing with them and call for him. They find Vince sitting on the couch in the office. Vince holds out his hands and says "my hands are on fire." Vince is brought to the emergency room where he is seen by Thirteen. She runs a test and finds no evidence of trauma or carpal tunnel; bloodwork is normal. She tells him she's going to refer him to a neurologist. Vince wants to see House.

Foreman and Cuddy are in her office with House. "I quit," House tells Cuddy. Foreman tells House he can't wait. House replies, "I think your confusing me with Jake Gyllenhaal." Cuddy asks him if he's okay. House says he is and he'd like to stay that way. He cleared the change with his therapist because he needs to change his habits and environment. He tells them that he is going to get a new job in research. "Research means no patients, less pressure," House says. Cuddy is concerned that House was just released from Mayfield and if he has had time to think it through. "I'm sorry. I know this will affect both of you. And Thirteen. And the one with the nose. I just can't risk coming back here," House tells them. Cuddy says okay and House leaves. The door barely shuts and Foreman says he wants to run the department. "You consider waiting until House clears the lobby before you start angling for his job," Cuddy tells him. She says that the Department of Diagnostic Medicine doesn't exist, they only reason they had it was because of House. Foreman points out that she reassigned the team (Taub, him and Thirteen), kept them on payroll and he can do the job. She tells him that House is a genius. "House is an egotistical, pill-popping lawsuit magnet. And a genius. And I worked with him longer than anybody else, I can do this," Foreman tells her. Cuddy gives him one shot.

In House's office, Taub, Thirteen and Foreman are taking the sheets off the furniture. Taub wonders what House will do. Foreman says he has no idea but he's gone so they should focus on the medicine. Thirteen tells Foreman he's the boss, it's kinda sexy. Taub jokes, "Here I thought it was just the pants." They begin to review Vince's case and diagnose him. Diabetic Neuropathy is Taub's guess but Foreman rules it out based on test results. Foreman guess hypothyroidism but Thirteen points out Vince has no fatigue or weight gain. Thirteen suggests "Complex Regional Pain Syndrom" and both Taub and Foreman agree with it, so they run with that diagnosis. Foreman says that with no House but the job still gets done. Thirteen feels something is missing. Taub says, "I'm short, he's black, your gay-ish." Thirteen smiles and says, "That's it." Foreman tells them to prep the patient for spinal simulation.

When Taub and Thirteen approach Vince, he tells them he doesn't buy their diagnosis, he feels it's mercury poisoning. Vince has his laptop in the room and he's doing research on his symptoms. He tells them he eats a lot of sushi. Thirteen tells him it's hard to consume enough fish to give himself mercury poisoning and that it doesn't usually present solely with pain. Vince points out information he found in a medical journal online that points to mercury poisoning. Thirteen tells Taub, "Who needs actual doctors when you got the internet." Vince tells her, "No offense but doctor's make mistakes. Medical error s are up 30% this year." Taub tells him he should check the rate of patient error. Vince says there is a ton of information out there, why wouldn't he educate himself; be his own advocate. Vince convinces the duo to run mercury poisoning tests.

In House's office, Foreman looks around, then uncovers the desk. He sits down in the chair and picks up House's ball. Cameron walks in and says, "You know how House feels about people touching his ball." Foreman replies that Chase refuses to tell him. She congratulates him on his promotion and inquires how Thirteen and Taub are taking it. She then asks him how House was. Foreman says, "He was good. Honest, took responsibility, it was kinda weird." Cameron is looking for Thirteen to sign off on the ER patient transfer. When Foreman tells them where they should be, Cameron informs him they aren't doing a spinal simulation. Foreman finds the duo in doing bloodwork and Thirteen tells him the patient wanted them to test his bloodwork. She says the test only takes 20 minutes so it doesn't matter. Foreman tells her he should decide when it matters. Taub says, "If your done marking your territory. Test results, surprise suprise, Marcus Webley, was wrong." Foreman says he will go to the patient and tell him.

House visits with his therapist, Dr. Nolan, at Mayfield. "You expected not to have mixed feelings," Nolan says about House quitting his job. House feels it's the right call but he just doesn't know what to do with his time. He complains his leg hurts and ibuprofen is barely making a dent in it. Nolan tells him he needs a hobby, something to keep him engaged, connected to other people. "You already made me get a roommate. Wilson only has 1 bedroom. We can't get more connected with unzipping," House tells him. Nolan asks him what Wilson likes to do.

Foreman goes in to talk to Vince. He introduces himself and Vince asks if he's the "geniuses replacement." Foreman replies, I"d like to consider myself Genius 2.0." Foreman gives Vince his test results. Vince wants to proceed with mercury poisoning treatment although his levels aren't high enough. After the two go back and forth over Vince's diagnosis, Foreman pulls a "House and strongarms Vince into having the test done. He tells Vince if he's not interested in his medical opinion, he has other patients he can move on to. Vince can go and see a doctor who will run all unnecessary medical tests. Vince agrees to the spinal simulation. While Taub and Thirteen proceed with the test, Vince complains of chest pain and has difficulty breathing. He asks Thirteen what they have done. Thirteen sees that Vince's lungs are filling with fluid.

Foreman, Thirteen and Taub discuss Vince's latest symptoms. Taub says that the lung problem is really a heart problem, Vince has a thickened left ventricle. Foreman feels it's a good thing he talked the patient into spinal stimulation. Thirteen points out the test showed them a new symptom. He says they lucked into the discovery of a new symptom and it proved them wrong about CRPS. They narrow it down that Vince might be under pressure with his new game coming out in 3 months and cocaine might explain his symptoms. Thirteen stands up and says they will search his office for drugs. Foreman stops them and says they will ask the patient instead.

House joins Wilson at his cooking class. Wilson points out his 1 condition for House to tag along, not be a jerk. House says, "I'm trying. I'm just not very good at it." Wilson replies, "Throw your meatballs and keep an open mind." Wilson wants to know how hard he's trying not to make a ball joke and House tells him he is smoking. When Wilson looks at him funny, House replies, "Your balls." Wilson realizes his meatballs are burning in the frying pan, they are browning way to fast. House tells him blue is the color he has to watch out for. Wilson frets about his meatballs and House tells him he thinks there's a medicated powder for it. Just as Wilson is about to reach his limits, House remembers his chemistry information, puts together a quick concoction and spreads it on the meatballs. Wilson states, "You might have actually saved my balls."

Thirteen and Foreman talk to Vince. Vince is unhappy with what happened during the procedure and did a background check on the doctors. He hacked into Foreman's profile on Facebook and showed his profile picture - a photo of Foreman and Thirteen in their bathing suits. Vince teases Foreman about blocking everyone or only having a few friends. Not happy with Vince, Foreman asks if he's taking drugs. Vince says that he used to but cleaned up his act after his saw his roommate overdose in college. The duo leave and Foreman sends Thirteen and Taub to search Vince's office. Foreman complains that he's not House but Thirteen stokes his ego. It makes him feel better and then he orders her to meet him for dinner at 7. She wants to meet at 8, but he insists 7pm. Thirteen leaves, clearly not happy with being ordered.

Cuddy shows up at House's apartment. She follows him into the kitchen and he introduces his cooking classmate and says she doesn't speak English. The woman eyes Cuddy and asks, in her language, "Whose the broad?" House tells her she's a missionary. Cecilia says, "If she's a missionary, why is she dressed like a prostitute." House says he was talking about the position. Cuddy wants to know if House is certain he isn't returning. She wants to know if it's their mixed up, strange relationship that he is running away from. House replies, "We flirted, We kissed. I fondled. I hallucinated a night with you and screamed it from the balcony. No, it's not you." He tells her he's trying to get and keep his act together. Cuddy finally asks him, "Well, what am I." He tells her she's not the reason he left. Cecelia says, in English, "Lady, either kiss him or leave. We got work to do." Cuddy appears embarrassed but leaves.

Thirteen and Taub are in Vince's office, donning the helmets and playing Vince's virtual reality game. As they are about to get their butts kicked, Thirteen realizes what could be wrong with Vince, takes off her helmet and leaves. Meanwhile, Taub is still playing and getting beaten by flying birds. When they return from Vince's office, they discover Vince has a new symptom to add to their list, priapism. Foreman is still being overbearing with Thirteen, calling her out in front of Taub for not meeting him for dinner the night before. She insists she was helping Taub by doing her job. After Vince saw the photo online of Foreman and Thirteen, he ended up with a 3 hour erection. In order to ease the swelling, they put a shunt in his penis. Thirteen believes Vince has a brain tumor, but Foreman disagrees and wants to go with his own diagnosis, thrombocytosis. When Thirteen and Foreman go to Vince's room to share their diagnosis, they discover 2 other doctors there. Vince posted his symptoms on the internet and the 2 doctors responded. One wants to sell him a self-cleansing program for $395 and he is immediately dismissed. The second doctor believes that Vince has a brain tumor and needs an MRI. Foreman presents his theory but Vince wants Thirteen to give her opinion. Rather than backing Foreman, Thirteen tells them that both theories have merit. Foreman is clearly not happy that Thirteen didn't back him. Vince insists on an MRI to rule out a brain tumor. Although he's not happy, Foreman agrees.

In Wilson's apartment, he awakens and walks into the kitchen. He sees that House has been cooking up a storm all night. House has been up all night due to the pain in his leg cooking. Wilson remarks on House's obsessive behavior. But House admits he needed a distraction to take his mind off the pain in his leg.

While running the MRI, Foreman and Thirteen argue because Foreman is upset she didn't back his theory up. The MRI turns up negative so Foreman demands Thirteen to treat Vince for thrombocytosis. Not happy with how things are going with Foreman, she shows upon House's doorstep. While House is cooking, she complains to him about Foreman and lets it slip that Vince has posted his case online. House offers Thirteen a taste of the dish he's making and Thirteen is shocked at what an incredibly delicious meal he has made. She tells him it's the best she's ever tasted. House's advice to Thirteen is that she will be happier if she gives in.

Back at PPH, Foreman turns to Chase to talk about his problems with Thirteen. Chase feels that Thirteen is only doing her job. He tells Foreman if he can't handle it, then he should fire her.

When Wilson awakens the next morning, he's surprised to find House on the couch, not cooking up a storm. House is eating a pint of ice cream and watching television. Wilson inquires about House's leg, which House lies and says it's fine. House tells him he heard there was The Biggest Loser marathon on television so he decided to watch it. He holds up his ice cream and says he wishes they could see him.

House has a therapy session with Nolan. He admits to Nolan that his leg is killing him. He feels that cooking therapy isn't helping as a distraction any longer. Nolan reminds House that he has the skills to cope. House shows up at his old apartment, he turns on the light switch but finds there is no power. He opens the closet and takes out a pair of sneakers. He hears a rattle inside one of the shoes and pulls out a bottle of Vicodin.

Foreman shows up at Thirteen's doorstep with a bag. He holds it up and tells her he brought her a donut as the florist shop wasn't open. She teases and says she'll get a vase and water. She accepts his apology and they begin to fool around but get interrupted when their pagers go off. They return to the hospital to find out that Vince's lymph nodes have grossly enlarged and the treatment for thrombocytosis isn't working. Vince informs them that he has posted a $25,000 reward for anyone coming up with the correct diagnosis to cure him. Back in their office, the team is bombarded with faxes, emails and phone calls - all distracting them from doing their jobs. They go to Vince's room with a stack of theories submitted and begin to rule them out one by one. After a few of them, Foreman makes a deal with Vince. He agrees to do a biopsy and if the test results come back negative, Vince must remove his case from the internet and allow the team to do their job. Unfortunately for Foreman, the biopsy results come back positive for amyloidosis.

Taub walks into Foreman's office and hands in his resignation. He tells him, no offense, but he came to PPH to work with House as he's the best and House is no longer there so, he's leaving. Later in bed, Foreman is upset about Taub's leaving, the case, and Thirteen tries to cheer him up with stories about her college roommate.

Wilson shows up back at his apartment at lunch time. He normally has a standing lunch date with Cuddy but blows it off to check on House. House knows Wilson is checking up on him and tells him there is no need. House is being domestic, folding laundry, singing and walking around without his cane. This concerns Wilson. He feels House is using again so the next morning he sabotages his toilet by rigging the intake valve. He collects a sample of House's urine and when the results come in, he goes to see Cudy. Wilson explains to Cuddy why he believes House is using again. She asks him if the test results came back positive. Wilson admits the urine was from a Labrador Retriever. At this point, they both believe House is using again and go to confront him.

Thirteen goes into Vince's room, only to discover he isn't there. She and Foreman head out and begin looking for him. Vince is down in the main lobby, hallucinating he's in his virtual reality game. Everyone he runs into appears to him as one of the animals or characters in the game. He screams and bats off the "birds" and when he sees Thirteen and Foreman come towards him, he believes they are the enemy. Foreman and Thirteen are able to get to Vince and realize he's burning up with a fever. They sit him in a cold ath to bring down his fever and discuss the new symptom and that it's not related to amyloidosis. Even though Vince had been in the cold water for over an hour, his fingers never pruned. They come up with another theory, which calls for chemo. At this point, Vince is scared and willing to comply with whatever Foreman wants, he just wants to get better.

Cuddy and Wilson show up at his apartment and find House sitting on the couch. House doesn't admit to using again but jokes that he was able to follow Wilson by using the dog urine. Tired of them accusing him of using again, House stands up, drops his pants and pees in one of Wilson's coffee cups. Wilson is upset as it's one his goddaughter made for him. House tells them to go ahead and test.

Foreman comes out of the shower in a towel. When he reaches his locker, he looks at his fingers and realizes they pruned just from the shower. He has an epiphany. He dresses and races to stop the chemo treatment. When he arrives, Thirteen had already stopped the chemo and tells him it's Fabry's disease. Alone, she tells him that she went back online and saw the diagnosis and used it. Foreman is not happy that Thirteen once again, went behind his back and didn't trust or back him.

Foreman is sitting at House's desk. Thirteen walks in and sits down, congratulating him. Cuddy officially made Foreman the head of the Department of Diagnostics. Foreman questions if he is the right man for the job and if he can do it. He knows it was the online diagnosis that saved Vince's life. He then tells Thirteen he doesn't want to lose her, now that he's the boss. He worries about the tension that has arisen between them. He shockes Thirteen by firing her on the spot.

House goes for another therapy session with Nolan. House tells Nolan that he relapsed and reaches into his pocket. He pulls out a check from Vince for $25,000. He admits he went online and entered the diagnosis and solved Vince's case. Nolan rethinks his original theory that PPH and diagnostic medicine might not be good for House. He in turn tells House that it may be exactly what he needs to continue his rehab. House is concerned that a return to the hospital will cause him to use again and Nolan tells him that it is a possibility. House says, "Well, I guess we're going to find out."

House - Episode 6.01 - Broken
Airdate: September 21, 2009
Author: #1hotchfan

At Mayfield Hospital, House is in a hospital room as he begins the detox process. He is alone, hooked up to IV fluids with nothing but his bed and a bed pan. A nurse comes in and checks his vitals periodically and provides him with a new bedpan.

An orderly escorts House to the nurse’s station to get his medication and then returns to his room. He is sweating a lot and a nurse comes in to check his vitals and wipe his brow. After a while, House gets up and goes to his door. He finds it locked so he beats on the door shouting for help. Next we see House in restraints for a while. When he awakens, he looks around and no longer has his restraints on. He gets up and walks around a bit, checks his leg. He dresses himself, grabs his suitcase, tosses it on the bed and packs. He leaves his room and as he heads down the hallway, steals a hat off another patients head and puts it on. House goes to the nurse’s station, tells her the dry heaves are gone and so is he. The nurse says she will check with his doctor. House feels he is there voluntarily so he can leave until she informs him that the doctor left specific instructions.

House b arges into the office of Dr. Darryl Nolan, the head of the psychiatric facility. As Nolan is speaking with another doctor, House says “wow, and he’s black. I thought you’d be a little more sensitive on the slavery issue.” Nolan just smiles and dismisses the other doctor. House says, "No painkillers, no hallucinations, leg hurts but it’s manageable. Great job, gonna miss you, want to start missing you as soon as possible." Nolan informs House that legally he can leave whenever he wants but Nolan recommends House stay. Nolan says if House thought the hallucinations were from his Vicodin problem, why didn’t he check himself into a rehab facility. Nolan feels the Vicodin problem was manageable until two of House’s colleagues died and then his father. Nolan tells House that his issues run deeper than Vicodin. He wants to transfer him to their long term ward for medication management and talk therapy. House tells him he’s hung up on one thing, he can leave whenever he wants. Nolan tells House he can’t go back to practicing medicine. House replies “I don’t want to practice medicine. I want to be an astronaut." Nolan informs House that if he wants his state astronauts license, he is going to need Nolan’s recommendation.

House is brought to Ward 6. He checks out the other patients in the main room. He sits down with Dr. Beasley and asks her, “Brass tax, what do I have to do and how long do I have to be here.” She tells him it depends on him. The process is pretty basic, for him to take medication, participate in therapy, and set goals. House tells her he’s already done that, his goal is to get her boss to write the letter he wants him t o write. He then tells her to begin the process and he plans on turning the ward upside down making Beasley and Nolan’s lives so unmanageable that they will do whatever they have to to get rid of him.

House enters his room and begins to open his suitcase. A man enters the room and asks House who he is then continues to talk non-stop. The man complains about the staff lecturing him about manic depression and taking his medication. He admits that he stopped taking his meds because he wanted to because there is nothing wrong with him. He said they keep dragging him back there when he does but feels like his medications slow him down and that’s when things start to happen. He finally introduces himself as Juan Alvirez but everyone calls him Alvie. He asks House what he is to call him to which House responds “you can call me House.” Alvie breaks into a song “He’s a brick, house….” (1977 Song sung by The Commodores)

House takes off, heading down the hallway while Alvie follows him and tells him he’ll give him the run down. House meets Annie, who has been in a catatonic state and hasn’t spoken in 10 years. House bangs his cane on the glass window and tells the staff he wants a new room. Alvie laughs and tells House he’s funny. While Alvie continues babbling, House tries to get the staff’s attention with no luck. House starts to leave the main room when one patient throws himself on the floor, crying that his head hurts. The nurse comes out and tells him he won’t be getting any Haldol so the man stops complaining. Alvie explains that the man’s name is Connor but everyone calls him “Hal.” When he begins to explain the reasoning, House tells him he gets it. House sees the piano, tries to open it and finds it locked.

During group therapy, Dr. Beasley introduces Alvie and then House as “Greg.” House tells her not to worry about his name as he’s just passing through and doesn’t want to break any hearts. House sits back during therapy and points out everyone’s issues (paranoid, anorexia, claustrophobic, suicidal). House notices the woman next to him had slit her wrists and points it out. Dr. Beasley tells House that there are some things they don’t talk about. House sarcastically replies, “I’m sorry, is suicide taboo? Gosh I’ve broken a rule. I just want to kill myself.” Dr. Beasley ends group and tells House he is not the first patient to be uncooperative. She asks him to follow her to the club room, which turns out to be isolation.

When House is released from isolation, he joins the rest of the patients outside. Dr. Beasley talks to him to find out if House is ready to play nice. She tells him to just talk and be honest. House joins the other patients who are playing basketball. He uses his honesty to play on the fears and issues of the other patients until one by one, they all leave the game. He shoots the ball and makes the shot. He tells Dr. Beasley that it is reward to reach out, grabs his jacket and heads back in.

As House climbs the stairs to the third floor, he hears someone playing the piano. He walks inside and sarcastically tells the woman, “I think you will find music therapy more affective if the patients were actually inside. “ The woman tells House she is Annie’s sister-in-law. She says she plays because Annie’s head bobs to the music, it’s the only reaction she gets from her. After checking Annie's pulse, House tells Lydia that he hates to burst her bubble but Annie’s head is bobbing to her pulse, not the music. Dr. Beasley and two orderlies walk in and House tells them he’ll lead this time. He tosses them his cane and walks up to them as they grab him and walk him back to isolation.

House lies on the bed in isolation. Dr. Beasley walks in and he sarcastically tells her to close the door as she’s letting the cool air out. She asks him if he’s ready to get on board or if she should leave him in there. House follows her out into the main room. He sees Alvie and another patient playing table tennis with no paddles or net. As House starts to walk by, Alvie wants him to join. House announces to the patients, that he had time to think and he misdirected his anger and treated the other patients unfairly. He says the real jerks are the doctors because they give them table tennis with no net or paddles. He winds up the other patients who begin to argue and bang on the table because they don’t have the proper items to play the game. They quiet down when Dr. Nolan walks in, holds up paddles and says that House is right, he feels everyone can handle paddles. House is surprised that the doctor gave in so easily to the patients demands. Nolan says House is a born leader and he can teach the other patients something.

That night in his room, House begins to devise his next plan. The next day during group therapy Dr. Beasley introduces a new patient, Steve. Steve says he’s the “Freedom Master. He’s like Clark Kent, Bruce Wayne or Peter Parker with a secret identity.” Alvie replies “Cool. We have more Jesuses in here than superheroes.” The other patients inquire about Steve’s superpowers. House gets up and walks to the windows. Steve asks why Annie doesn’t talk and feels that someone needs to save her. Dr. Beasley suggests they all take five minutes and get to know Steve. She walks over to House and tells him she knows he’s scheming, working on his next elaborate plan. While she’s talking, House sees Nolan in the parking lot, where he kisses and then leaves with a woman. House turns around to Dr. Beasley, smiles and says “God, if only you’d said that two minutes ago, before I came up with my new scheme. Now I’m committed.”

House approaches Alvie and asks what privileges he has. When he learns Alvie can move around on different floors, he uses Alvie for his next scheme. House has Alvie break into Nolan’s office to find out who the woman was that Nolan left with. Alvie gets on board with the plan and does as House asks. He tells House the calendar was only marked with a big red “x”, no names or anything else.

House and Alvie chat that night in their room and devise a scheme so House can use the phone. So the next day. House and Alvie fake a fight while watching television. Dr. Beasley orders Haldol to calm House down. After the orderlies bring House to his room and leave, Alvie comes in and House spits out the Haldol. Hal is a level 4 and has phone privileges so House bribes Hal with the drugs to use his phone time. House uses the phone and calls Wilson. He wants Wilson to look up the license plate of the mystery woman and get him a name. House believes Nolan is cheating on his wife and wants to blackmail him with this information so Nolan will sign off on House’s reinstatement. Wilson says Nolan had already warned him House might try something like that and turns House down. Feeling defeated, House returns to his room and tells Alvie he is his only friend.

House begins to go along with the program. He cooperates with the doctors, plays basketball and card games with the other patients. The more House goes along with them, the more privileges House gains. When House reaches a Level 3, Alvie teases him and says “I’m so proud of my roomie, I taught him everything he knows.”

During visitations, House meets up with Lydia, Annie’s sister-in-law again. They chat about Annie’s condition. Lydia tells House how Annie just withdrew from everyone for no reason. She admits she plays the piano when she comes to visit to get a response from Annie.

House meets with another doctor to talk about his medication. The doctor asks about side affects and House says he has none. He’s is convinced House isn’t taking his medication because he doesn’t have the side affects and his inconsistency in his stories. House appears to get defensive and asks if the doctor wants him to take a urine test. The doctor hands House a cup to pee in, shocking House. They both go into the bathroom and House asks to have some privacy, which he is denied. The doctor does allow House to go into one of the stalls. When House enters one of them, Hal is crouched on the toilet. House hands him the cup to pee in. He turns away and begins to sing a song while Hal pees in the cup. House flushes the toilet, comes out and hands the doctor the filled cup saying ‘get it while it’s hot.” House passes the urine test, giving him a level 4. The doctor apologizes to House and then asks “Freedom Master” for help. He wants Steve to move the piano away from the window. House challenges the doctor when he tries to tell Steven that he is delusional. Steve points out a music box in the office and says that they stole Annie’s voice box. The doctor tells Steve his wife is dead and he needs to move on. Steve continues to say that Annie’s voice is in the office and tries to get in claiming Annie’s voice is in there. The orderlies take Steve away.

The staff hold a “re-birthday” celebration because Susan, the suicide patient is going home. House notices that Steve is not included in the ceremony. He goes to his room and finds a heavily drugged Steve lying in his bed. The doctor insists that Steve is fine, just delusional. As House argues with the doctor, Nolan asks House to come and chat with him.

In Nolan’s office, House expresses his anger at the fact that Susan is being released and Steve is drugged. He insists to Nolan that he can be released and get outpatient treatment. House pulls out his pills and says he’s doing so well that he doesn’t need to take his pills. Dr. Nolan dumps out the crystals from one of the capsules and asks House to lick it. When House doesn’t, he realizes that the medicine is really sugar. Nolan tells House that his depression tests were increasing too rapidly and he figured out House wasn’t taking his medications so he switched him to a placebo. Nolan tells House to stop fighting the system and let Nolan do his job.
The next day, Lydia pulls up with a cello to visit Annie. It’s too heavy for her to bring in and House offers to carry it up for her. After they exchange some sarcastic remarks, House offers for “Clark Kent” (aka Steve) to carry it for her to help him out of his depression. Steve gets the cello out of the car and House convinces Lydia to let him drive Steve around to feel the air blowing through his hair, so Steve feels like he’s flying. As they get going, House admits he’s stealing her car and kidnapping Steve. Lydia asks to be let out and allows House to take off.

House brings Steve to a local carnival. He brings him into a ride where it simulates they are free-flying. Steve begins to relax and enjoys himself. When they are done, they head back to the parking garage, where House left Lydia’s car. Steve is happy and talking excitedly. House goes to the car but realizes Steve didn’t follow. House turns around and sees Steve pretending to fly from the side railing of the parking garage. House tries to talk him down but Steve turns around, thanks House and then jumps from the railing.

At the hospital, Dr. Nolan joins House and informs him of the extent of Steve’s injuries. He tells House Steve is lucky to be alive.

2nd hour:
House sits in Dr. Nolan’s office, tapping his fingers against the arms of the chair. He asks Dr. Nolan how it works. Nolan tells him he talks and Nolan listens. He asks House what he wants. House tells him he wants to be happy. House admits he’s afraid to take the medication because he fears losing his edge and who he is. Nolan tells him he know it’s hard for him, to ask for help but he has to trust him. House takes his pills and says “mmm delicious.”

Later, at the nurse's counter, House tells them he is there for his communion wafer. After he takes his medication, he turns around to face Alvie. Alvie believes House didn’t take his medication and checks his mouth. Alvie is convinced House is still scamming the doctors because they don't take medication but House insists he‘s not. When House confirms he took his medications, Alvie believes the doctors broke House. House says, "They didn’t break me, I'm already broken." He tells Alvie to go back to his loser life and Alvie replies that he hates House.

Nolan enters House’s room with a suit and says he has an assignment for House. He asks House what he’s learned in four weeks about the other patients. House gives him basic feedback about three patients. Nolan’s assignment is for House to go to a party with him, mingle and engage in conversation with other guests. House is to connect with someone at the party, which turns out to be Lydia. He wants to know why she visits Annie five times a week. Lydia says that Annie is her best friend. When she became catatonic, Lydia’s husband stopped visiting after a few years but she continues to visit five times week. She admits she misses Annie. As she’s getting ready to leave, she leans in and kisses House.

In Nolan’s office the next morning, House admits that Lydia kissed him, then says they kissed each other. House accuses Nolan of being judgmental when Nolan doesn‘t say very much. Rather than address how uncomfortable he is with the situation, House deflects the conversation back to Nolan. He wants to know why Nolan only has his father on speed dial, no personal items in his office and if he’s cheating on his wife. Nolan finally gets House to admit he’s afraid and doesn’t know what the kiss meant.

House runs into Lydia during visitation and asks why she kissed him. Lydia tells him she likes him and it felt like a nice way of showing him that. He hands her his cane, then turns around and begins playing on the piano. He turns when he hears the door and sees a bandaged up Steve being wheeled in.

Back in Nolan’s office, Nolan asks House why he focuses on his failures rather than his successes. House replies, “Success only lasts until someone screws them up. Failure is forever.” Nolan says, “Your not god House. Your just another screwed up human being who needs to move on.” Nolan feels House needs to apologize to Steve and let himself move on to feel better, and then allow himself to keep feeling better.

House enters the main room and approaches Steve but isn‘t able to say anything. Dr. Beasley comes in and begins group therapy. She informs the patients that they will have a Mayfield Talent show in two weeks. She tries to talk Alvie into singing and preparing something in advance. Alvie isn’t comfortable with that, he feels he is better doing it on the spot. She tries to get Steve to talk but he doesn’t. House challenges her and says Steve won’t speak. He then realizes Steve and Annie are looking at the same thing. He insists it’s the music box locked in the nurse’s station. Dr. Beasley thinks he’s acting out but House convinces her he’s not. She gives the orderly permission to get what House wants. House walks over to Steve, leans down and puts the music box in Steve’s hand. House tells Steve he’s not broken, everything in him is healing. He begins shouting at Steve to speak. Nolan walks up and tells them to take a break and informs House that he is trying to fix instead of healing himself again.

Lydia shows up for a visit and hands House some sheet music. He asks her what it is…. She tells him it’s two people having fun. House is worried about someone getting hurt. She tells him she was happy five minutes ago and now she’s not, how is it better. House hands her back the sheet music and says goodbye, then gets up and walks away.

House receives a note during the next group therapy session. It’s a day pass with a request for him to join Dr. Nolan. When he arrives at a hospital room, he finds Dr. Nolan sitting beside his father. Nolan requested House for a consult on his father, Darryl Nolan Sr. House reviews the chart and tells Nolan that his father’s brain has been replaced by blood and that all of the doctor’s were correct, there‘s no hope for his father. House begins his usual insults but Nolan won’t hear it. He tells House “not now.” House looks at Nolan, who is crying, then pulls up a stool and sits with him.

House returns to Mayfield and finds Lydia crying in the main room. He apologizes to her for pushing her away. Lydia says she’s not crying because of him. She brought Annie’s cello hoping it would spark interest. House jokes and says he takes back his apology. House draws her into his arms. She sobs on his shoulder as he hangs up his cane, and then begins to slowly dance with Lydia. They go into one of the office’s and kiss. One thing leads to another and House and Lydia have sex. When they are done, House has tears in his eyes.

The talent show has finally arrived. The patients put on a talent show for staff and family. Each of the patients performs on stage. When Alvie’s turn arrives, he gets on stage and begins to improvise is rap song, only to get stumped. After a few seconds, House chimes in from the back of the room and fills in the gap. He does this twice and Alvie finally yells “Dr. House is in the house…” reluctantly, House joins Alvie on stage and helps Alvie finish his performance.

The next day, House goes up to Steve to apologize. House tells Steve he was trying to prove a point and be right. He put Steve in a dangerous place and Steve got hurt. House says it’s his fault and he’s sorry. From across the room, Nolan sees him and nods his head. House wheels Steve past Annie and stops. House backs up and Annie looks down at Steve. Steve hands her the music box and Annie leans down and takes its. She opens it and listens to the music. She then shuts it and thanks Steve. He tells her she’s welcome. House and Dr. Nolan are amazed as it’s the first non-catatonic moment Annie has had in ten years.

Lydia shows up for visitation and House tells her he has a surprise and leads her into the common room. When she walks in, she sees Annie is playing the cello for the patients and staff. Lydia smiles and cries as she listens to Annie play for the first time in years.

The next day, Annie has a “rebirthday” celebration. House is shocked to find out Annie is leaving so soon. He flies into Nolan’s office and demands to know what’s going on. Nolan tells him that the family is moving to Arizona and Annie is being transferred to a rehab facility there. House asks for an overnight pass. Nolan tries to talk him out of it but House insists.

House pulls up in a cab outside Lydia’s home and her son answers the door. Lydia domes out, crying and tells him they are moving because of her husbands job. They hadn't been able to do move sooner because of Annie but now they can. She tells him she doesn’t want to leave but she doesn’t want to leave her children either. She puts her hand on his cheek and House tells her to not go. She tells him she has to and says goodbye.

Nolan leaves the hospital and heads to the parking lot. He finds House sitting by his car and jokes that it’s not the most effective use of House’s overnight pass. House tells him Lydia is gone and he’s upset. Nolan lets House know that he is signing the letter to have House’s medical license reinstated. He tells House he got hurt, he’s hurting and sought him out to talk about it rather than hiding in a Vicodin bottle.

The next day, House has his “rebirthday” celebration to return home. After he blows out his candle, he drops his face right into the cake, causing staff and patients to burst into laughter.

Alvie watches House leave the hospital from the window. He sees House walk to the bus station. Alvie turns around and heads to the nurse’s station. Dr. Beasley opens the door and ask Alvie what he wants. Alvie says his medication, he wants to get better. The doctor smiles and turns to get Alvie’s medications for him.

The bus pulls up to the bus stop and House gets on. He walks to the back of the bus and sits. With Mayfield Hospital in the background, House smiles as he looks ahead…..

User name: Favorite character:	House Spoiler: spin off? We already speculated with Jesse Spencer leaving House, and even someone dying on House seasons finale. But today both Jesse Spencer and Jennifer Morrison, who play Doctors Chase and Cameron confirmed that they are leaving House MD at the end of the season to do a House MD Spinoff about Chase and Cameron´s career and life after Princeton Plainsboro. Even more, they also confirmed Season 1 of this spinoff will have Hugh Laurie as guest star playing Gregory House, Jack Black playing a disturbed neighbor, and Hugh Jackman as Wolverine. If you reached to this point and you didn´t realize this is all a big joke, maybe I should remind you that today is April's fool day, and we will have to do some Series and TV pranks. Sorry. Although, a Spinoff of House MD about Cameron and Chase would be sweet! Source: Most excited to see:
User name: o.smith13 Favorite character:Chase or Cameron	House Spoiler: Bachelor Party and Character Death There will be a bachelor party (apparently Chase's) where something big happens. Cameron and Chase have to get married for something to do with the immigration department. Peter Jacobson (Taub) says that he is getting to know Jennifer Morrison and Jesse Spencer a lot better. They say that they will be spending a lot more screen time in the next season. Character death is Kutner by suicide. Date: 4/6/09 Source: www.housemd-guide.com/spoilers.php Most excited to see:
User name: Convoyman Favorite character: Cuddy	House Spoiler: Wanna see House & Cuddy rip each other's clothes off? House & Cuddy sitting in a tree, S - E - X - X - I - N - G. Ohhh boy. Have you seen the promo for Monday's hour? If this only ends up being some sort of House hallucination, there may be hate mail. Just sayin'... Either way, the promo is hot. Like, wow, the chemistry between these two characters is palpable hot.
