House -- "Last Temptation" -- 4/18/11

Synopsis:

Spoiler:
Masters faces a career crossroads on her last day as a medical student and struggles with the choice to continue on the path to become a surgeon or to accept the rare opportunity to join House's team officially. Meanwhile, the team treats a 16-year-old girl who inexplicably collapsed days before embarking on an ambitious sailing tour around the globe. Despite the patient's life-changing diagnosis, the patient's family insists on getting her back on the seas in time for her potentially record-breaking launch. But to the team's surprise, including House, Masters makes a bold decision regarding the patient's treatment.


Episode 19 of 23

Great episode tonight, IMO the best in a while.


I don't get the bar/ballet joke.

Thought it was really good this week. How was 13 doing medical procedures in the hospital though if she doesn't have a license?

Yeah, I was wondering that, too. You could drive a Mac truck thru that plot hole...

Or it's the writers' undying love for 13.

House had a line saying "you're lucky I got your license back for you" or something along those lines

Though the end result was never in doubt, loved the journey of getting there. But after seeing "Soul Surfer this weekend, this episode's resolution was almost too much for this viewer...

So is Tamblyn really gone? I really liked her character and the dynamic between her and House has been the best thing about this season.

At least until they decide they need to do something to reinvigorate the show and bring her back.

Masters was always a temp fill-in for 13, but I do hope they bring her back for 2-parter next season, perhaps she'll be out of medicine, but her new educational pursuit presents House and company with a good case.

Ballet dancers put their leg up on a bar. So something to do with that...I can't remember the exact joke.

Nice sendoff for Masters. Glad that they gave her the time to see her go properly.

Clicking this and reading made me think of the kid on Malcolm in the Middle in the wheelchair and how he would have said it aloud.

Re: House -- "Last Temptation" -- 4/18/11

That was actually a pretty good Masters-centric episode. So it appears she's giving up medicine because she feels like shit for compromising her ethics to save that girl's life. I liked how weird and neurotic the character was, especially with those awful clothes she wore. Overall it was a nice sendoff for her.

Here's an interview with her from TVLine.com

http://www.tvline.com/2011/04/amber-...nt-want-to-go/

They actually wanted to keep her beyond her 13 episode commitment, but she agreed to star in a Pilot for FOX produced by House EP Katie Jacobs and Wire Producuer Ed Burns.

BTW, I didn't get the whole chicken thing between House and Wilson.

at the dog just running in and grabbing the chicken with his mouth.

The jist was that she was such a "goodie two shoes" that the last bar she was at was in ballet class. Bar meaning the ballet bar in the dance studios as opposed to a bar where drinks are served. The other part of it was slamming how young the character is. Is she supposed to be 21 yet? Masters said something to the patient about being too young when she first had an opportunity to attend her first social or something.

It was a good episode though Wilson participating in that chicken thing was a little out of character to me (even though I would enjoy see MORE of THAT Wilson!). I'm bummed that 13's return means Masters is out. She really was an interesting foil to House and kept this season hopping.

Thought it was OK, but I'll take 13 over Masters any day.

13 over Masters? I'd totally watch that.

Sad to see her go - tuned into this thinking this will be a "turning point" for her, and from this we can watch her grow / become a more confident team member...

alas, a nice farewell.

+1 on the comment about how they just threw in the line "I got your licence back" to explain 13's return to the group.

I just read an interview linked on HOUSE's FB account that she is teaming up with exec Katie Jacobs and The Wire co-creator Ed Burns to be in a new show. Her contract was always for a 13 episode arc apparently.
