Synopsis:



Very cool guest star. Judging by the promos, we might get to see the old team work together in this one.

So far I'm really liking this season. It was starting to lose some steam for me last season but so far so good. BTW, I love the picture above!

Wow, that was an unexpected ethically challenging episode of House tonight. It's been a while since I've watch a show and my mouth was agape by what unfolded in the final minutes. Of course, Chase will have to deal with the repercussions and fallout, as well as Foreman, but he did get called out and Chase manned up as best as he thought he could in spite of the situation. Not saying it was right, but in his mind, it became justifiable.

I've watched about half the episode and Foreman is really getting on my nerves.

It was good seeing Jesse Spencer and Jennifer Morrison actually have significant screentime for a change.

Since I haven't read anything about Peter Jacobson leaving the show, I assume his absence is only temporary.

Will finish the rest sometime Tuesday.

I've never particularly cared for Foreman all that much. He takes asshole to a new level, and this episode made that all the more evident.

What an interesting, yey confusing, picture above? Why is 13 dressed like Lara Croft? Who is the guy shaving? Why can't Cuddy be where House is and vice versa?

I believe it's Taub.

Agreed. I heart Lisa Edelstein, especially when she shows skin and cleavage.

Great twist at the end. Cool moral dilemma and at least Foreman burned the paper at the end. Kinda redeemed his utterly annoying character just a little for me.

It was weird for me to hear Foreman berate Chase given his own history with patients.

CPA-ESQ.

I liked this episode - good to see that they took the more twisted road at the end and not the storybook "we are doctors and every life is important" BS.

Personally I agree with what Chase did. I don't think I would have faked a test - but I definitely would not have been "rushing" to diagnose him, and would have taken my time running "tests"

At the end of the show I commented that this show has the clout to pull in some fantastic actors to guest star.

I wonder if this episode will lead into the announced future development that:

No Taub back? What a lame exit for his character.

uteotw

That's exactly what I was thinking.

I'm glad he did it too, though I wish he'd been smarter and not so quick to admit it.

Count Dooku

Taub only wanted to work for House, so perhaps he will return when House is back in charge.

Wilson breaking out the True Blood quotes "I'm vampire, Sookie"

Foreman's always been a tool, but he's really ratcheted it up lately.

The major ethical dilemma of this episode was a joke. I don't see how any right minded person could take Foreman's stance. It's a no brainer. Of course you lie to Thirteen and tell her you wouldn't fire her if you could do it over again.

Chase had the courage of his convictions.

Foreman was a major jerk here for 95% of the episode here excluding the last scene with Chase. I'm still not sure whether or not I love the episode. It was engaging enough I just didn't quite buy Chase faking the test, though I'll probably rewatch this when it reairs. Surprised that no one mentioned the hilarious mime scene with House during the differential diagonsis.

I didn't mind Thirteen in this episode (usually she annoys me) but I think that was a function of Foreman being so unlikable in this episode.

I thought that the show was kinda boring. Interesting, but boring. Interesting what House did to the Canadian downstairs, eh? Pretty pretty pretty good.

Good to see Billings from the Shield play the condo guy. I didn't realize it was James Earl Jones until reading this thread (didn't see the credits). I thought it was him, but never was sure.

Closing your eyes and hearing Darth Vader didn't convince you?

DJariya

Finished this last night and thought it was a pretty compelling episode. The confrontation between Chase and Foreman was pretty good and made up for Foreman being an asshole through 95% of this episode.

House's material was solid as usual. So, I'm not quite sure I understand what he did for Wilson's neighbor. Was it purely psychological pain?

Thanks, I was curious about this as well.

Great episode, loved the character moments that we got from Chase and Cameron...and I loved Houses line "GO Maple Leafs!"... cracked up for a few minutes at that one.
