Synopsis:

Spoiler:
The team treats an Army veteran charged with treason after he leaked classified information. But the patient's life is put at risk when he refuses treatment unless he and his brother are given information about their late father, a war veteran, which raises questions about loyalty to one's family and country. Meanwhile, Adams suspects House may be sick, so she recruits Wilson and the other team members to plan an intervention and investigate his illness in the all-new "Blowing the Whistle" episode of HOUSE airing Monday, April 2 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. (HOU-815) (TV-14 D, L)


Episode 15 of 22

8 straight new episodes to finish out the series.

Apparently this episode was loosely based on the Bradley Manning case:

Overall, This was an ok episode. House’s medical situation wasn’t nearly as interesting as it could have been, and I think the outcome of what it was should have been the opposite, because with only a few episodes left, that might have made for some interesting drama.

We're in the home stretch with about 7 episodes left and a filler episode like this feels very unsatisfying at the end. Guess that explains why noone here felt compelled to talk about it.

That was my thought as well. It might have been interesting to have the world's best diagnostician being resistive to being diagnosed himself.

Some of these mind games go too far into the rabbit hole. I'm still not sure I understand how Chase figured out House was just pretending

Because Chase has known House since God was in short pants.

Yeah, it was a so-so episode overall. I figured out that House was pulling the team's chain when he made sure they knew that he took a dump in the broken toilet, clearly leaving a stool sample for them to test.

However, I did like the little House moment when he crammed the candy bars into a drinking cup at the cafeteria and then just paid for a small soda. Surprised something like that hasn't already happened on an earlier episode.
