FEEDING YOUR ADDICTION FOR HOUSE

BAND FROM TV PERFORMS SATURDAY WITH JESSE SPENCER

November 20, 2009

This Saturday, Jesse Spencer will be taking the stage with the Band From TV to raise money for the Epilepsy Foundation of Southern Wisconsin.

The Band from TV’s musicians rotate in and out, but here is the roster:
• Jesse Spencer, aka Dr. Robert Chase from "House," playing the violin
• James Denton, aka Mike Delfino from "Desperate Housewives," on guitar
• Teri Hatcher, Denton's TV wife, Susan Mayer, singing with the band
• Bob Guiney of "The Bachelor" fame, also singing
• Adrian Pasdar, aka Nathan Petrelli on "Heroes," also on guitar
• Greg Grunberg, aka Matt Parkman on "Heroes," on drums

There’s no word on whether Hugh Laurie will be there, but Greg Grunberg confirmed that he, Adrian Pasadar, James Denton, Bob Guiney, Jesse Spencer and Scott Grimes will be playing. However, he did say that there will be a few “surprise” guests.

"There's such a need to raise money," Grunberg said, adding that the group has upped the number of concerts it performs to help out. "Charities are really hurting right now."

Band From TV released its first album, "Hoggin' All the Covers," in October 2008, available at Amazon.com. The lineup includes the band's take on Janis Joplin, Elvis Presley, Bruce Springsteen and others.

Considering that House and Heroes air in the same time slot, is there any friendly competition within the band between the representatives from House, Laurie and Spencer; and those from Heroes, Grunberg and Pasdar?

"Oh yeah, for sure," Grunberg said. "You can't compete with House in the ratings; it's a juggernaut. We (Heroes) have our own fans.

"But I like to joke with Hugh, ‘One slip in the ratings and you're out of the band. It's called Band From TV, not Band From Canceled Shows!' "

IF YOU GO
What: Band From TV, presented by the Epilepsy Foundation of Southern Wisconsin
When: Saturday, Nov. 21, 8 p.m.
Where: Dane County Coliseum
Tickets: $35-$75; www.ticketmaster.com

THE BRITISH ARE COMING!

November 19, 2009

Our prime time TV shows have been invaded by visitors, but not the kind that are on V. More and more British actors are taking prime spots in popular TV shows—a trend that has been largely attributed to Hugh Laurie.

It makes sense that Hugh gets the credit. The success of House and Hugh’s award winning performances have paved the way for producers to look into casting fellow Brits in leading actor or actress TV roles. What I wonder is, what took so long? Movies have been casting British actors and actresses as leads for years. Time and time again, the Brits dominate in the acting arena.

New York Entertainment took the liberty of collecting a number of the British actors that are dominating the airwaves. Some of these were surprising to me because they can fake a good American accent.

	Actor: Matthew Rhys Show: Brothers and Sisters Character: Kevin Walker		Actor: Joseph Fiennes Show: FlashForward Character: Agent Mark Benford
	Actor: Ed Westwick Show: Gossip Girl Character: Chuck Bass		Actor: Marianne Jean-Baptiste Show: Without a Trace Character: Vivian Johnson
	Actor: Gabrielle Anwar Show: Burn Notice Character: Fiona Glenanne		Actor: Joely Richardson Show: Nip/Tuck Character: Julia McNamara
	Actor: Sonya Walger Show: FlashForward Character: Olivia Benford

ORLANDO JONES TO PLAY FOREMAN'S BROTHER

November 18, 2009

The EW reports that Orlando Jones will make a guest appearance on House. Jones will play Foreman's estranged brother, Marcus who is in prison. Of course, we know that Foreman wasn't always an angel and had a shady past as a juvenile, and the meeting with his brother will shed more light on Foreman's character.

Jones's credits include Rules of Engagement, Everybody Hates Chris, Ghost Whisperer and Men in Trees, along with several other TV shows and movies.

Now, we've already met Foreman's father (Charles S. Dutton) and mother (Beverly Todd), but we know little about his brother. All we know is that they both shared a troubled childhood. Obviously, Eric came out of that situation on top, and his brother Marcus remains troubled.

Foreman and his brother will meet up the night before Marcus' parole hearing. And somehow House gives his two cents which makes things worse because that's what House does.

The brothers reunite sometime in February after the holiday hiatus.

CAMERON'S FAREWELL

November 17, 2009

As for the first real words out of Jennifer Morrison's mouth about how she feels about her departure, she told EW.com that she finds "the entire situation sort of confusing."

Morrison is being paid for the remainder of the season, which is an indication that she might reappear. But she has also been kept in the dark about what's going on.

“I don’t know anything about anything,” she said. “That’s the thing. Everyone expects me to have an answer and there’s no answer to have because there’s… no answer.”

“I love our writers,” she added. “I think David Shore is incredibly talented. All of the characters he’s created I’ve loved. I think he’s very committed to keeping the characters’ stories authentic.”

Morrison definitely took the high road during the interview, as she always does.

“I love the fans,” she enthused. “Honestly, I have to say one of the most amazing things that’s come out of this job is how incredible the fans have been and how supportive they’ve been. I never could have imagined asking for a more amazing group of people and I’m so thankful for their support.”

OLIVIA WILDE COMES BACK TO HOUSE!

November 16, 2009

Recently, TVGuide interviewed Olivia Wilde about her return to House. She talked about the circumstances of her return, as well as the future of Thirteen and Foreman.

TVGuide.com: What do you think about House's old team getting back together this season?

Olivia Wilde: This season, the writers have been all about taking risks. It's Season 6, which means you really have license to try things. They're doing these unpredictable things, and one was having House bring back the old team. It was a result of House being in a mental institution and coming back, so I think if we went back to business as usual immediately, viewers would get frustrated. So I think it's cool they're shaking things up. And it's great because I got to take a little break!

TVGuide.com: Will we see Thirteen and Taub officially back on the team soon?

Wilde: What you have to remember is House wasn't the one who fired Taub and Thirteen. Taub quit and Thirteen was fired by her own boyfriend. So, it's up to him to find a way to bring them back, but it's not going to be as easy as he thought. And this next episode reveals just what it is for the doctors that is so addictive to being on the team, what it is about working for House that gets them going, and why it's the only option for them.

TVGuide.com: What can we expect with Thirteen and Foreman's relationship?

Wilde: I think it's going to be bumpy for a little while. It would be dishonest for us to come back from breaking up with each other and having a smooth ride. They're both very good at bottling things up, so it's not the most communicative relationship. Things often come out in bursts, and I think we see that because they work in a high stress environment. You learn more about their relationship through their diagnostic process than through their actual straight talk.

TVGuide.com: What did you think when you read that Foreman was going to fire his own girlfriend?

Wilde: We talk about whether our philosophies are different from our characters, and with that was one I was like, "Oh, no. I couldn't go back! I'm too proud." But if you think about it, Foreman was the one who was by her bedside when she woke up from the terrible hostage situation. And he taught her to choose life and be a healthy person. So it's not as easy to drop this relationship and move on.

HUGH LAURIE SHOWS YOU THE WEATHER, BRINGS HOME THE DOUGH

November 12, 2009
How would you like to get your weather from Dr. House every day? A new site called "Obama Weather" shows Obama and several other famous people dressed appropriately for the weather, along with the week's forecast. You can pick whomever you want to show you the weather in your region from the site's drop-down menu. For example, this is what you should wear for the weather today in Seattle as shown by Dr. House.

Not only does it give you the weather but you can plan what you are wearing by what the models are wearing. It also helps if you are planning a trip and want to know what to pack. Pretty cool, eh?

You can also get your weather from Angelina Jolie or Bruce Lee. The site has kind of a random selection of famous people, but there you have it.

In completely unrelated but interesting news about Hugh Laurie, Forbes recently named the actor in the top ten list of highest paid men on television.

Leading the list is Simon Cowell ($75 Million) followed by Donald Trump ($50 million) and Ryan Seacrest ($38 million.

The rest of the list is as follows:

4. Charlie Sheen ($21 million)
5. Steve Carell ($20 million).
6. Howie Mandel ($15 million)
7. Kiefer Sutherland ($13 million)
8. Jeff Foxworthy ($11 million)
9. Hugh Laurie ($10 million)
10. David Caruso ($9 million)

Hugh beat David Caruso! I guess people would rather see the cantankerous stethoscope than the sunglasses of justice. Have a good weekend, everyone.

JENNIFER TALKS ABOUT LEAVING THE SHOW

November 12, 2009
Yesterday Jennifer Morrison was a guest yesterday on the Bonnie Hunt Show, and she covered topics we've all been curious about. One of the things they talked about is why House is such a popular show, to which Jennifer Morrison said "I guess people really want to have a crabby doctor." Jennifer also talked about her early start as an actress and crashing a second-grade school play audition when she was a kindergartner.

However, the most important thing she talked about is her future on House. Bonnie asked Jennifer if she is done with House and she said "I am as far as I know, yes." This is strange because other actors have been alluding to her hiatus on House as temporary. Watch and see what you think.

HOUSE, HUGH LAURIE UP FOR PEOPLE'S CHOICE AWARDS

November 11, 2009
Congratulations to the cast and crew of House and to Hugh Laurie on their nominations for the People's Choice Awards!

House has been nominated for "Favorite TV Drama," and Hugh Laurie has been nominated for "Favorite TV Drama Actor"

JESSE SPENCER INTERVIEW PART 2

November 10, 2009
Wow! After last night's bombshell, it's only inevitable that things are about to get heavy for Chase and Cameron. But how, exactly, will that happen? In an extended interview with TV Guide, we find out more from Jesse Spencer.

TVGuide.com: Why do you think Chase has been so consumed with guilt even though he knows his decision saved so many lives?

Jesse Spencer: I compare it almost like a post-traumatic stress disorder sort of thing. Soldiers are a good example. They get on the battlefield and kill, and they believe that they're doing the right thing. But that doesn't stop the guilt. The actual physical act of killing has an effect on the human psyche, whether you think you're in the right or the wrong. Chase goes through this guilt thing... and that sort of branches into different parts of his life and affects his relationships and his work and all that sort of stuff.

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. Maybe nothing ever happens, but he feels like he has to stay and play that out in the hospital.

TVGuide.com: What is the final straw for Cameron when Chase wants to stay?

Spencer: With the guilt, Chase is acting so weird. [Cameron] thinks he's having an affair [because] something is obviously wrong. She approaches Foreman, Foreman says to talk to me. Eventually, Chase does end up telling her and she ends up blaming House for the event. [She thinks] Chase has sort of been manipulated by House into doing things that he wouldn't ordinarily do. 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 [at first] 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.

TVGuide.com: There's been talk that Jennifer Morrison would return to the show in the future. How will that work if Chase and Cameron split?

Spencer: We really don't know. It is open for her to come back at some point ... but we don't know in what fashion that will be. That's what makes it exciting. The story line has been set up and right now it's just brewing there, but I don't know how it's going to end.

TVGuide.com: How does Chase fair with dealing with his guilt once Cameron leaves?

Spencer: It will come out in a couple different ways. Most guys throw themselves into their work, and that's what he's doing right now. Also, there's a lot of pent-up aggression that flies around, particularly toward House because there is some residual blame and resentment in the relationship. Whether or not he really had anything to do with it, House sort of becomes the outlet for some of the blame because he was marginally involved, because Cameron blamed him for the end of the relationship. So there is residual aggression and blame that circulates around and makes for some pretty fun things for House and Chase. But then it sort of settles for awhile, and Chase will attempt to move on and just do his job.

TVGuide.com: Will Chase ever be able to forgive himself or at least move on?

Spencer: It's hard to put closure on that. The full closure of that would be that he's caught, convicted and sent to trial, so I don't know! Maybe that will happen. That's the good thing about the show, everything's not wrapped up nicely with little bows. They really emphasize the shades of gray in life. Not everything is black and white, and there are contrasting opinions. Sometimes both opinions are correct. I don't think any full closure will come around.

TVGuide.com: Will we see Chase's faith come into play again as he tries to come to grips with everything?

Spencer: [It] was brought up in Season 2 that he went to seminary and then sort of had to split from his faith and leave it for medicine ... The contrast between science and faith is quite fascinating. Sometimes they overlap, and sometimes they seem to contrast in opinion. Just like the show in a lot of ways. Spirituality and faith is the opposite of what House is. He's about deduction and logic and [how] everything can be worked out through the scientific process. Chase's faith is quite nice to have as the antithesis to House's belief... It's nice to have a character who can jump between one and the other. He looks for absolution through his faith and through science.

TVGuide.com: How will Cameron's departure affect the team and its dynamics? Will someone come to take her place?

Spencer: I don't think anyone will take Cameron's place. We sort of have a new team again because now basically Chase joins the team. 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. I still keep doing the surgeries, which is kind of fun because I like doing that stuff.

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.

When doctors are unable to diagnose why a severely autistic boy screams loudly for no apparent reason, House takes the case. As the boy's condition worsens, it becomes obvious that House relates to the boy because he has no social niceties.

Best Episode Moments

When Adam gives House his PSP.

House, "Eating the red berries."

House Quotes

House: "I don't pity this kid, I envy him."

House: "After that look, I'm feeling a little frisky and looks like you're up."
Cuddy: "I'm ovulating. Let's go."
House: "The frisky, it went away."

House Episode Trivia

As with the previous episode, they again confuse Pleural Edema (fluid within the lungs) with Pleural Effusion (fluid surrounding the lungs).

If the liver was infected with worms, Adam's lungs would have been enlarged (Nephromegaly) and possibly inflamed (Nephritis) and would have shown up on the liver screening.

Raccoon Worms are pretty big and its hard to believe they would not have been noticed sooner.

House Quotes

"I'm proud of you." House to Cameron

"Don't go towards the light, you'll fall and break your hip!" House to patient

"I'm a cripple remember? Accommodations must be made."

House Episode Trivia

An Exorcise Stress EKG would not show how strong the heart is beating. They should have used an Echocardiogram for this.

After the X-Rays, the team repeatedly referred to fluid in the lungs (Pulmonary Edema), but this would not show up on an X-Ray.

Thoracentesis is a procedure to drain fluid from the cavity surrounding the lungs (Pulmonary Effusion), not to remove fluid from within the lungs (Pulmonary Edema) as stated in the episode. The two terms are very similar - Pulmonary Edema (within the lungs) and Pulmonary Effusion (around the lungs).

Best Episode Moments

House telling Clancy: "They're gonna get you!" "You'll never see your parents again!" to induce a hallucination during Clancy's surgery.

House making Cameron state Clancy's diagnosis as a metaphor - which she states as a simile instead.

Cameron keeping Cuddy and Wilson's secret from House.

House Quotes

"She was being metaphorical. She was trying to to sound like me. I've got no idea what you mean, but I can smell what the Rock is cooking."

"Is this an intervention? It's a little late since I'm not using drugs anymore. I am however, still hooked on phonics."

Chase: House! Clancy has gone missing!
House: Oh no! You take the Alpha Centauri, Foreman can look on Tattooine, and Cameron can set up an intergalactic checkpoint. Let's pray he hasn't gone into hyper-drive -- we'll never catch him.

House: "Now this is what I'm talking about! Foreman you gotta steal this thing for me."

Foreman: "Let me ring up one of the homies."

"The kid is having nightmares. Only happen at night. It's right there in the name."

House Episode Trivia

When Clancy goes into the machine to find the marked proteins, he goes in head first, but on the computer screen, it shows the results feet first.

When asked to put her diagnosis into a metaphor, Cameron said the nerves would "light up like a lightbulb." This is a simile, not a metaphor.

When Cameron suggests they make an antibody to a protein on the alien cells to tag them for the PET scan would take around 6 months to generate, screen, purify and label the new antibody, but on the show, it only took around a day.

◄ Go home: House

House suspects an epidemic in spreading through the hospital when two babies get sick. Cuddy dismisses the idea, but when additional newborns exhibit symptoms, the team takes it seriously. Even after being put on two antibiotics, the babies deteriorate quickly. One or the other is not working, and to find out which, House orders each taken of one of them -- knowing full well that one baby will very likely die. Though Cuddy objects, she gives the green light when House points out it could save the lives of many other children. One baby does die, but the other begins to get worse as well. In desperation, House autopsies the deceased infant and finds out they have been treating the wrong kind of infection.

Why does Cameron freeze up when asked to break the bad news to the parents of the baby that died?

Will House consider Wilson's advice in replacing Cameron after her problems in giving patients' families bad news?

HOUSE EPISODE: MEDICAL MYSTERY: PATIENT OF THE WEEK (POTW)

Location of incident:	Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital (Maternity ward)
Name / occupation / age / sex of POTW:	Six newborns at the hospital
POTW symptom(s):	A baby is throwing up when she hasn't eaten anything
Team mis-diagnoses:	Bacterial infection
House team's rule violation(s) / ethical breaches:	House decides to treat the two sickest babies differently, taking each one off one of the two antibiotics they have them on, to see which is working. He decides which gets taken off of which antibiotic by flipping a coin
House's "Aha!" moment:	When he performs an autopsy on the deceased baby and find that it's a viral infection
POTW final diagnosis:	Echovirus 11 (from an elderly hospital worker)
Other / clinic patient(s):	A woman (Jill) who is pregnant but afraid her husband is not the father of the baby

Best Episode Moments

House parading into the OB/GYN lounge room at the start of the episode, then agreeing at the end to be the prenatal doctor for a patient just so can can use the lounge!

The final scene, in which House observes the elderly hospital worker coughing and wiping her nose, and then handling stuffed animals that are given out in the maternity ward.

House explaining to patient Jill that she has a parasite!

House Episode Trivia

The first word spoken in this episode is "Amber."

This is the first episode in which a patient dies.

When House asks his team to help him search for most sick babies, he says, "We're going hunting." Chase asks what they are hunting for, and House says, "Wabbits." This is an allusion to the Looney Tunes cartoon character Elmer Fudd, who had trouble pronouncing R, and that's how he says "rabbits." In most cartoons, he is on the trail of famous rabbit Bugs Bunny.

House Quotes

House: We have an epidemic!
Dr. Cuddy: Two sick babies is very sad, but it doesn’t prove an epidemic.
House: How many do?

Jill: Thank you so much. I gotta get you a gift or something.
House: Sometimes the best gift is the gift of never seeing you again.
Jill: Okay, all right!

House: Lift up your arms. You have a parasite.
Jill: Like a tapeworm or something?
House: Lie back and lift up your sweater. You can put your arms down.
Jill: Can you do anything about it?
House: Only for about a month or so. After that it becomes illegal to remove, except in a couple of states.
Jill: Illegal?
House: Don't worry. Many women learn to embrace this parasite. They name it, dress it up in tiny clothes, arrange playdates with other parasites...
Jill: Playdates…
House: (showing her sonogram) It has your eyes.

House: This is our fault. Doctors over-prescribing antibiotics. Got a cold? Take some penicillin. Sniffles? No problem. Have some azithromycin. Is that not working anymore? Oh, got your levaquin. Antibacterial soaps in every bathroom. We'll be adding vancomycin to the water supply soon. We bred these superbugs. They're our babies. And they're all grown up and they've got body piercings and a lot of anger.

◄ Go home: House

A kindergarten teacher who suffers from seizures begins to speak nonsense to her students and then collapses. She is brought to Princeton Hospital, where Dr. Gregory House (Hugh Laurie) and his team think they they have found a tumor. After several attempts to diagnose her condition, House tells his team to break into her home to find any clues to her illness. When Foreman off-handedly mentions seeing a ham in the refrigerator, it's all House needs to solve the case.

House reveals why he hired each member of his staff. How will these qualities come back to play out in future episodes?

Will breaking into patients' homes become a regular diagnostic tool?

HOUSE EPISODE: MEDICAL MYSTERY: PATIENT OF THE WEEK (POTW)

Location of incident:	School Classroom
Name / occupation / age / sex of POTW:	Rebecca Adler/Kindergarten Teacher/29/Female
POTW symptom(s):	Babbling, convulsions, seizures
Team mis-diagnoses:	Brain tumor, vasculitis
House team's rule violation(s) / ethical breaches:	Foreman and Cameron break into the patient's home
House's "Aha!" moment:	When Foreman tells him there was ham in her refrigerator.
POTW final diagnosis:	tapeworms
Other / clinic patient(s):	A guy who is orange (from too much vitamin A) and House deduces that his wife is having an affair. A 10-year-old with asthma whose mother doesn't want him taking strong medicine. Guy who diagnosed himself on the Internet to whom House gives candy in a pill bottle.

Best Episode Moments:

Wilson telling House that it is his cousin so House will take the case.

Foreman catching Wilson in the lie about Rebbecca being his cousin.

House telling Rebecca that she can live with dignity, she just can't die with it.

House Quotes:

Foreman: (to Cameron) So how'd you get the job? You stab a guy in a bar fight?

Cuddy: Oh, I looked into that philosopher you quoted. Jagger. And you're right. You can't always get what you want, but as it turns out, if you try sometimes, you get what you need.

Cuddy: The son of a bi**h is the best doctor we have.

House: (to Wilson) People don't want a sick doctor.

House: (to patient) You're orange, you moron!
House: See that, they all assume I'm a patient because of the cane.
Foreman: Then why don't you put on a white coat like the rest of us?
House: Then they think I'm a doctor.

House Episode Trivia

The bandages from Rebecca's tracheotomy are placed too high after the tube is removed.

Rebecca's name and personality is yet another reference to Sherlock Holmes--Irene Adler is a woman featured in a Sherlock Holmes story that gains Holmes' respect (and even admiration) by continuing to outwit him. House is left speechless after Rebecca manages to glean a significant portion of his personality through a brief, guarded conversation, probably better than any other person on the show has done except Jack Moriarty (who was really a "Devil's Advocate" persona created by House's own mind through most of the episode that he was in).

The episode is known simply as the Pilot but it has an alternate title: "Everybody Lies." This is the title that was used on the DVDs distributed to Academy members for their consideration for Emmy nominations. The DVD featured two episodes: "Everybody Lies (Pilot)" and "Detox." A videotape was also sent out to members which contained two other episodes: "Three Stories" and "The Honeymoon."

◄ Go home: House

Brandon Merrell, a college student, loses consciousness after having sex with his girlfriend. That, along with a rash and severe cough, lands him in the emergency room. Dr. Wilson brings the case to House, who tries several theories and treatments, all of which seem to make Brandon worse. As symptoms pile up and his white blood count drops, Brandon is quarantined while the team works to diagnose him. When the pharmacy gives House the wrong pills for a prescription, House looks into whether Brandon also may have taken the wrong meds for a cough. This is not the case, but along with pain in Brandon's fingers, it gives House a clue that he may have colchicine poisoning; it's a gout medication but is also used to cut ecstasy, which is what Brandon admits he has taken. And the case is solved ... with one final change that house makes in Brandon's cough medication.

When will Chase and Cameron succumb to their attraction for one another?

What new ways will Cuddy and House find to torture one another?

How many drugs really do have colchicine in them?

A man with a soar throat, for which House calls Cuddy out of a board meeting to do a consult. A boy who had an MP3-player stuck in his body, whom House leaves for cuddy to deal with.

Best Episode Moments

The sexual innuendos fly between Chase and Cameron!

House begins to antagonize Cuddy in earnest. In this episode, he calls her for consults on simple cases, and then he leaves her to deal with the patient who has an MP3 player embedded inside him!

House Episode Trivia

Occam's razor (or Ockham's razor) is a principal that states that complexity should not be added without necessity; in other words, the simplest solution is usually the most effective. (attributed to English logician and friar William of Ockham, 14th c.)

"One is the Loneliest Number" by Three Dog Night is the song played during the closing scenes.

When house plays with the Gameboy, the game shown on the screen is "Metroid: Zero Mission," but the sound effects have been changed.

HOUSE Quotes

Dr. Chase: (about House) "He thinks outside the box. Is that so evil?"
Dr. Foreman: "He has no idea where the box is."

Dr. Cameron: "So, a woman can't express her interest in sex without it being some professional power play?"
House: "No. If you look the way you do and you say what you said, you have to be aware of the effect that it's going to have on men."

House: Occam's Razor. The simplest explanation is almost always that somebody screwed up.
(House is playing on a Gameboy)
Patient: What are you doing?
House: Level four.

House: Hello, sick people and their loved ones! In the interest of saving time and avoiding a lot of boring chitchat later, I'm Doctor Gregory House; you can call me "Greg." I'm one of three doctors staffing this clinic this morning.
Cuddy: Short, sweet, grab a file.
House: This ray of sunshine is Doctor Lisa Cuddy. Doctor Cuddy runs this whole hospital, so unfortunately she's much too busy to deal with you. I am a board ... certified diagnostician with a double specialty of infectious disease and nephrology. I am also the only doctor currently employed at this hospital who is forced to be here against his will. (to Cuddy) That is true, isn't it?
But not to worry, because for most of you, this job could be done by a monkey with a bottle of Motrin. Speaking of which, if you're particularly annoying, you may see me reach for this: this is Vicodin. It's mine! You can't have any! And no, I do not have a pain management problem, I have a pain problem ... but who knows? Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I'm too stoned to tell. So, who wants me?

Cameron: Sex could kill you. Do you know what the human body goes through when you have sex? Pupils dilate, arteries constrict, core temperature rises, heart races, blood pressure skyrockets, respiration becomes rapid and shallow, the brain fires bursts of electrical impulses from nowhere to nowhere, and secretions spit out of every gland, and the muscles tense and spasm like you're lifting three times your body weight. It's violent, it's ugly and it's messy, and if God hadn't made it unbelievably fun, the human race would have died out eons ago.

Boy in clinic: It's an MP3-player.
House: Mm. Is it ... is it because of the shape, or the size, or is it the pounding bass line?

"Oh I stuck that primo! How rad am I?"

"That is not a sexy big toe."

House Episode Trivia

Even though he is pain-free and without a cane, he should still be limping with the loss of thigh muscles.

"Vicodin ES 5/500," the prescription House writes for himself is not a real medication, but is actually two separate strengths of the drug, Vicodin ES and Vicodin 5/500.
Even though Richard had not used his legs and had just had tendon surgery done, he was miraculously able to walk quite well.

◄ Go home: House

Teen lacrosse player Dan is hit in the head when he starts seeing double during a game. Dr. Cameron wants to investigate, but Dr. House dismisses it as a concussion. When the team learns that Dan is also twitching and experiencing night terrors, House takes the case. When he meets Dan's father, House bets everyone that father and son are not related, throwing in questions about what paternity may have to do with the symptoms. After misdiagnoses and Dan nearly jumping off the roof of the hospital, House confirms that Dan was adopted, deduces that his issues are due to lack of childhood vaccinations, and treats him for a rare case of measles.

Will House always pick on his staff so mercilessly?

Do we see some initial sparks between Cameron and Chase?

House seems to reminisce about the sports he played when young. Will we ever find out more about his backstory?

Name / occupation / age / sex of POTW:	Dan / High School Student / 16 / Male
POTW symptom(s):	Night terrors Hallucinations Twitching

POTW final diagnosis:	Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis
Other / clinic patient(s):	A man with a really nasty abscess on his knee who has sued other doctors. House treats the knee and, when the patient serves him with papers, House tells him he has diagnosed gonorrhea.

Best House Episode Moments:

When the team realizes that House has won his bet about the paternity of Dan.

Watching House look out at the Lacrosse pitch with a reminiscent look about him, as if he used to play the game.

During the lumbar puncture, Dan is in pain and frightened, so Chase tells him to focus on the necklace that Cameron is wearing/ As she leans over the boy, she realizes the necklace hangs over her cleavage, at which Dan is now staring. "Thank you so much," she says to Chase. "The kid's in pain," Chase replies.

HOUSE QUOTES

House: "You know another really good business? Teeny tiny baby coffins. You can get them in frog green or fire engine red. Really. The antibodies in yummy mummy only protect the kid for six months, which is why these companies think they can gouge you. They think that you'll spend whatever they ask to keep your kid alive. Want to change things? Prove them wrong. A few hundred parents like you decide they'd rather let their kid die than cough up forty bucks for a vaccination, believe me, prices will drop really fast."

"On Saturday Afternoons in 1963" by Ricky Lee Jones is the song played when House watches a lacrosse game at the end.

House Episode Recap
Teamwork
Airdate: November 16, 2009

A man, Ha nk, is looking in the mirror at his eyes. Another man comes in and they both head down the stairs to film a porn movie. They enter the living room where the next scene is set up for filming. The stage lights are turned on and the Director calls “Action.” Hank drops the briefcase he’s holding and cries out that his eyes hurt. After a moment or two, the Director goes over to him, tells the crew member to turn off the lights and calls for an ambulance.

Chase walks into the kitchen where Cameron is waiting. He comments they are going to be late but she’s not worried about it. She tells him that she can live with what he’s done, they can get through it together. She wants them to get away from Princeton-Plainsboro, to start over somewhere else.

In the office, Foreman and House are reviewing 3 case files. Foreman wants to take on the case of an infant, while House is more intrigued by the porn star, Hank. Foreman feels he overrules as he’s still in charge of the department, so they will take on the infant’s case. Cuddy walks in and hands House an envelope, then congratulates him. House opens it and realizes his medical license has been reinstated. Cameron and Chase walk in and Foreman says, “House is back in charge, we get to treat a porn star.” Cameron and Chase announce their resignations, effective immediately. Cuddy and Foreman are stunned. Foreman wishes them luck while House gets up to get some coffee. Chase and Cameron leave with Cuddy following. House starts giving out orders for tests to be run, then turns around and everyone but Foreman has left. He has Foreman go and run tests on Hank. Foreman goes in to see Hank and does some lab work. Once he’s done, Hank complains about his arms. Foreman calls out for the nurse to bring in some medication for Hank.

House goes to see Taub at work. Taub is happy with his current job. He goes home by 6PM each day, has his weekends back and spends more time with his wife. House tells him the only obstacle between him and working for House was his wife. Taub grabs his coat, offers some advice on the case and begins to follow House out the door. Once House is out of the office, Taub shuts the door behind House and hangs his coat back up.

House shows up at Thirteen’s apartment. He tosses out Taub’s theory on the new case but Thirteen wants no part of it. She tells him she had a great time in Thailand, thanks for asking. She doesn’t even offer House medical advice on the new case, she just closes the door in his face.

House and Foreman meet back at the office. Cerebral vasculitis is Foreman’s theory. House sends him off to run more tests on Hank.

House and Wilson meet in the cafeteria. House tells the attendant he'll have whatever Wilson is buying. Wilson feels House is throwing himself into work to get over the fact that Cuddy is dating Lucas. He feels House is avoiding his feelings and disappointment.

Foreman goes to the locker room, where Cameron and Chase are emptying their lockers. Foreman asks them for help and they won’t agree to it. Cameron thinks Foreman should be leaving as well. Foreman tells Chase he owes him. Cameron and Chase put on their lab coats and help with the case. Chase takes Hank for more tests. Hank’s wife, who is also a porn star, meets them there. Chase and Cameron both offer moral lectures, which aren’t received well by the couple. While in the ultra-violet light chamber, Hank’s nose begins to bleed. When he steps out, Cameron notices his leg is bleeding as well.

Cameron, Chase and Foreman return to House’s office. House is watching Hank’s work on the laptop. Cameron tells House Hank’s blood won’t clot. House accuses Cameron and Chase of playing hard to get but Chase tells him they are only helping Foreman. Foreman says the UV rays made the patients capillaries more fragile, he thinks it’s Sepsis. House disagrees. Chase asks House to turn off the porn but House doesn’t. Chase walks over and closes the laptop. He throws out a theory but Cameron shoots him down. House looks at Chase and says, “The ball and chain smacked you down.” Cameron thinks it’s some kind of blood infection, Meningeal Toxemia. House sends Chase and Foreman out to start medication. House has Cameron remain behind and points out that Chase told her the truth. Cameron thinks House wants them to remain behind to ruin their marriage. He thinks Cameron hasn’t fully forgiven Chase and when reality sits in, she’ll be unable to forgive him for murder. Cameron disagrees and leaves.

Chase is in with Hank, starting new medication. Hank tells Chase Cameron isn’t in the room so he doesn’t have to lecture him on morals. Chase admits he looks but he is committed to his wife. Hank says he and his wife are committed to each other in every way that matters. Hank gives Chase a lecture on conscience. A beep goes off on Hanks’ machine, indicating he has a fever and the antibiotics aren’t working.

Taub comes out to the waiting room, calling his next patient, Mr. Takayama. The patient turns out to be House and he asks why broad-spectrum antibiotics won’t work on the Meningeal Toxemia. Taub tells him he has real patients and looks at his chart for the next patient's name. He realizes it’s House again using “Mr. Hitler” as his alias. “I had to do something to amuse myself while your receptionist fought with her boyfriend,” House says. House continues to toss out details of Hank’s case. “Whose the jerk?” Taub’s next patient asks. Taub says it’s someone with zero chance of hiring him back. Taub says he’s content at home and at work. House says he’s not content and the two exchange barbs about addictions. Taub points out the patient may have a sinus infection, if House surgically drains the sinuses, the antibiotics will work. House thanks him and says he’ll see him tomorrow. Taub says he won’t and he’s not coming back as House leaves.

Foreman walks up behind Thirteen who is sitting at restaurant counter, writing about her trip. Thirteen thinks House sent him, but Foreman says he didn’t. She doesn’t want to return to work for House. Foreman tells her she’s a great doctor, House is right to want her in the mix. She wants to know if he still has feelings for her or not. Foreman doesn’t want their work life to have anything to do with their personal life. She laughs and tells him he did just that. Thirteen tells him she can’t work with him. Foreman says he is the one who had the problem, he doesn’t anymore and she can work with him. He gets up and heads out.

Chase is operating on Hank, draining his sinuses. House shows up in the observation room above and turns on the intercom. He tries to tell Chase he was wrong and pretends to stutter. House admits he’s surprised Chase told Cameron what he’d done and that she is forgiving him. He feels it goes against who Cameron is and what she stands for. Chase feels it's because she loves him. House says it could be another explanation and because he doesn’t have one, he’ll keep looking for Chase.

Wilson goes in to see Cuddy and wants to know if she is aware of what’s going on with House. He says it’s called stalking. Cuddy feels she’s way to busy for the conversation but Wilson points out she’s the reason it was triggered. He wants to know what she sees in Lucas. Wilson feels she could have at least told him so he wouldn’t have coached House on his worthiness to Cuddy. Cuddy says for the first time, she is living her life and doesn’t care how it affects House or Wilson.

At her place, Cuddy is talking to Lucas. Lucas wants to know if their relationship is about House or them. She feels House is going to make it about him. Lucas wonders if she thought they were going to date, get married, have kids and retire all without House knowing. Or, if she figured they wouldn’t be dating long. He tells her either she’s delusional or he is. She apologizes to Lucas and he pulls her down to the couch and holds her.

Chase and Cameron talk in Hank’s room. Chase wants to know why she forgave him. He points out she’s been harder on the patient than him. Cameron says the difference is Chase feels shame, guilt. It’s how she knows they’ll get through it as she reaches out and holds his hand. Hank wakes up and complains about his stomach. Cameron checks him and tells Chase Hank’s liver is failing.

The team meets back in House’s office. Hank’s liver is failing and his abdomen keeps filling with fluid, ruling out Meningeal Toxemia. “No matter how much you finish each other’s sentences, don’t count on being a diagnostic package deal,” House says. Foreman tries to redirect the conversation to their dying patient. Chase turns around and mimics House by stuttering House is wrong. Chase and Foreman wonder if Hank’s problem could be genetic. Foreman, Chase and Cameron bounce theories off each other. “Enough enough. Stop pummeling Thirteen and Taub,” House says. He tells them to prep the patient for an ERCP, see if there is any hope of opening his locked bio-channels and start looking for a liver donor. Cameron and Foreman leave the room and House wants to talk to Chase. He wants to know what Cameron had to say to Chase. Chase relays his conversation with Cameron but House points out that Cameron blames House, not Chase for DiBala’s death. She feels House created the mess. Chase wants to know why House is trying to screw things up. House tells Chase he has the tenses wrong, things are already screwed up. “You just don’t want to work for me, you need to. Cameron thinks you’re my personal sock-puppet. If you don’t stay, it’s going to be hard to prove your not,” House says and leaves.

House is on a treadmill at the gym. The guy next to him stares at him so House says, “Last week my cane could only do 10 minutes.” Thirteen walks up and asks what he’s doing there. “Waiting for you to take a nap so I can surge into the lead,” he replies. House wants to know what the best way is to restore the liver in someone with Schlerosing Cholangitis. Thirteen doesn’t want any part of it but House says she already is. Thirteen says her choice is at the Community Health Clinic where she interviewed for a jobthe day before. House points out she gets to screw with Foreman, every way but literally. She wants to know why he isn’t just asking them if they want to come back. She tells him he can’t ask because he can’t face the rejection.

Cameron meets with Hank and his wife to discuss his need for a liver transplant. She tells him while the committee wouldn’t say it openly, they would never grant a transplant to someone working in his profession. Hank feels Cameron is passing judgement on him and would be happier if he found religion. Hank refuses to live his life worrying about every little scratch like his parents did. His wife points out that his current way of life is what may be killing him.

Chase and Foreman are doing another test on Hank. Foreman tells Chase to not listen to House. They notice a mass in Hank’s liver and realize it’s filled with worms. Chase tells Hank he has, Enterobius Vermicularis, (aka, thread worms). They disseminated all over his body causing all his symptoms. He tells Hank he may have gotten it through sexual activity but they aren’t sure. He gives Hank 2 pills and tells him he’ll be fine, his liver too.

Chase goes into the lounge and finds Lucas reading Chase’s charts. Chase wants to know why and Lucas says it’s to protect his girlfriend. Chase thinks Lucas is dating a porn star but Lucas tells him he’s dating Cuddy. Lucas says that if House loses his team, it will make him miserable which will make Cuddy miserable. He points out Chase’s level of precision when updating charts but 4 weeks ago, Chase stopped being so detailed. Chase chalks it up to being bogged down. Lucas asks what is causing Chase to run away from PPH. Chase says it’s personal. Lucas tells him he’s better off staying right where he is, to face the problem. Chase thanks him for the wisdom and leaves. Lucas wants to know if Chase has any dirt on the other 3 team members to help him out.

Hank is throwing up. His wife is upset because they thought the 2 pills would make him better. Chase tells House the patients lungs are compromised and his liver is still failing. Cameron thinks the worms could have been a coincidence. Foreman wonders if it’s Lymphoma and makes his case. House goes with Lymphoma and tells them to start Hank on chemotherapy. As they are leaving, House wants them to fax the update to Taub and Thirteen. “Seriously?” Cameron asks. House feels they have as much a right to know as anyone on the team. Cameron tells him he may or may not like the diagnosis but if he doesn’t, he needs to shut up and stop playing games. Chase and Cameron leave and Chase wonders why she’s so mad at House. He begins to realize House is right, Cameron blames House for DiBala. Chase says if he had the chance he’d do it again, even if it destroys him. He won’t run away because she wants him to pretend like he never did it. “If that’s how feel, okay,” Cameron says.

House is talking to Wilson about his team. He wonders how he takes all of them from column A and none of them from column B. House says he knows they are good but Wilson says House thinks they are idiots half the time. House is reaching out to people he is comfortable with for comfort because he feels abandoned by Cuddy. House jokes he just needs a good friend. Wilson says maybe if he doesn’t play along, House will realize he can’t solve a deeper problem with a surface solution. “It would have been more profound if you hadn’t said anything,” House says.

Foreman and Chase are talking in Hank’s room. Foreman tells Chase things will be better once the 2 of them are away from PPH. Hank begins peeing blood into his bag and then goes into cardiac arrest. The team updates House on Hank’s condition. They got him stabilized but there’s no red blood cells, no white blood cells and practically no platelets either. House wants to nuke the patients bone marrow. Cameron isn’t happy and challenges House because the patient had no evidence of being anemic or immune compromised when he was admitted. The team argues with House and he tells them to come up with something better. He goes off and faxes the update to Taub and Thirteen. Taub receives the fax and tosses it in the trash. Thirteen also receives the update and ignores it.

Cuddy goes to see House, who is leaving. Foreman told her what House is planning on doing and she wants to know if it’s really about her and Lucas. House heads out and Cuddy demands alternatives for the patient. House says he wants them too and leaves the hospital.

House runs into Chase outside of his apartment. Chase tells him he wants to be on the team. “You think that’s going to save your marriage?” House asks. Chase doesn’t know. “Four candidates, three spots. I got a tough decision ahead of me,” House says and heads inside.

Foreman and Cameron are bringing Hank in for a procedure. Thirteen’s home checking her mail when her phone rings. The woman from the clinic leaves a message offering Thirteen the job. Thirteen walks over and picks up the fax that House sent over. Taub is meeting with a plastic surgery candidate. He is distracted and finally takes the fax out of the trash to read it. House joins the rest of the team for Hanks ablation. Taub and Thirteen conference call House and tell him to stop the ablation. Taub says the patient has Extraintestinal Crohns. He got it from being in to clean, to over-protective of an environment. The worms were keeping the Crohns in check, teaching his immune what it should have learned from eating dirt when he was growing up. House has the team begin treatment on Hank.

In his office, House is watching Hank’s work on the laptop when Taub comes in. House shuts the internet feed down and Taub tells him he wants to be on his team. “Good news for your wife?” House says. Taub thanks him for the sarcasm. He reorganized his life to spend more time with her but doesn’t love her as much as he thought. House says he may love her more, the job gives him the thrill he found during his philandering. House tells him he’ll let him know. When Taub turns to leave, Thirteen is standing outside the door.

Chase meets Cameron in the locker room. He tells her he wants to stay on House’s team. He tries to talk Cameron into staying as well.

Cameron walks into House's office. House mumbles "4 out of 4." “I was in love with you. I was an idiot. I tried to be like you, tried to understand you because I thought I could heal you. You almost killed that patient,” Cameron says. She tells him all his patients are lab rats for his little puzzles. She blames him for trying to kill the patient. She accuses him of poisoning DiBala. “Your husband killed a patient and your breaking up with me,” House says. “You ruined him. So he can’t even see right from wrong. Can’t even see the sanctity of a human life anymore. I loved you. And I loved Chase. I’m sorry for you both, for what you’ve become because there’s no way back for either of you,” Cameron says. She holds out her hand to shake House’s but he won’t shake her’s. She kisses him on the cheek and leaves.

House walks into Wilson’s office and asks, “Do you have any idea where I can get a great big mission accomplished banner?” House says he got his license back and 3 out of 4 from his team back. Wilson is shocked and can’t believe it. He says House was right, good for him. House says Cameron has broken up with Chase and she’s leaving the hospital so 3 out of 4 ain’t bad.

Thirteen is back to work, taking care of Hank. Foreman watches from outside the room. Taub is home breaking the news to his wife, who isn't very happy. Crying, Cameron hugs Chase, then grabs her luggage and leaves. Smiling, Lucas and Cuddy leave the hospital together while House watches from the floor above.

House Quotes

House: I am selling my soul.
Dr. Wilson: Just a little piece. And you are getting something in return.
House: I said I was selling it. I didn't say I was giving it away. That would be immoral and stupid.

Dr. Cameron: I thank you because it means something to me, to be grateful for what I receive.
House: You are the most naive atheist I've ever met.

Dr. Cameron: You don’t need to worry about firing anyone. I’m leaving.
House: Why? Is this another noble, self-sacrificing gesture? You trying to protect Foreman?
Dr. Cameron: No.
House: So this is just, "Don’t fire me, I quit."
Dr. Cameron: I’m protecting myself. You asked me why I like you. You’re abrasive and rude, but I figured everything you do, you do it to help people. But I was wrong. You do it because it’s right.

House Episode Trivia

The tune House plays on his piano during the scene that shows he has twelve messages on his phone is "High Hopes."
