Is ignorance bliss? This week’s patient on House, James Sidas (Esteban Powell) believes it is. The brilliant physicist and author blamed his profound intelligence for his depression. He starts taking cough syrup with a vodka chaser, to dumb himself down.
This Thanksgiving episode, House is determined to get himself invited to Cuddy’s sister’s house for Thanksgiving dinner to get an opportunity to breakup Cuddy and Lucas. Cuddy finally extends an invitation with a cruel twist, the address was for a house three hours away and it wasn’t her sister’s house. Later that evening Lucas finds a drunk House in his home. House in a drunken confession tells Luca that he really loves Cuddy. It was an act to split them up. Cuddy lies to House telling him they broke up so he would leave them alone. It doesn’t work, Cuddy and Luca seem to be growing closer.<
Meanwhile, House’s team is trying to find a diagnosis for this complex patient. They start with a spleenectomy to treat for TTP. Which doesn’t work and is followed by a series of other hunches and tests. Read the rest of this entry »
On tonight’s episode of House, House reclaims his role as Head of Diagnostics after his medical license is reinstated. The patient of the week is an adult film actor Hank Hardwick ( Troy Garity) who is admitted to Princeton Plainsboro after he passes out on set, suffering from eye pain.
Meanwhile, Cameron tells Chase that she will stand by him, despite what he did to Dibala. But she decides they both need to leave the hospital immediately and start over. As a result House realizes that Foreman is the only one left on the team. Their exit plan is interrupted when Foreman asks them for help.
Tonight’s episode didn’t primarily focus on the patient of the week because House, Wilson and Cuddy attend a medical conference. At the conference the trio attended an 80’s costume party, everyone dressed the part including House, however he dressed for the 1780’s.
Wilson is scheduled to present a paper he had written about euthanasia which would ultimately get him fired. So House decided to drug him and impersonate a random Doctor and read the paper. Wilson needless to say was pissed but House got the message out and Wilson didn’t suffer the consequences.
House was rejected after hitting on Cuddy, who we learned later is involved with House’s private investigator Lucas (Michael Weston).
Chase continues to struggle in the wake of taking a patient’s life, while Cameron is convinced his strange behavior must mean he is having an affair. At the end of tonight’s episode Chase confesses to Cameron that he intentional killed a patient.
The patient of the week on tonight’s episode of House, was a teenage girl (Anna Attanasio) is brought to Princeton Plainsboro with severely swollen appendages after a wild night out. As the team struggles to diagnosis her bizarre condition, they are faced with the patients inability to distinguish between fact and fiction. She is finally treated for a rare reaction from eating oysters.
Tonight’s episode of House ‘Instant Karma’ presents a cause involving a billionaire father with a gravely ill teenage son. One of the reasons I am so fond of the show House is because it creates dilemmas that forces you to question what you might do in a similar situation.
Last week the team struggled with treating a dictator who if recovered would go on to commit genocide.
This week’s episode of House showed a businessman blame himself for the death of his wife and the cause of his son’s illness, due to the imbalance in his karma. Everything in the man’s life he touched turned to gold with the exception of his family. When given the fate of his son’s illness, which was less than a day to live, the billionaire, with one swipe of his pen destroyed his business and caused himself to go bankrupt.
A short time later House had an epiphany and realized the boy was misdiagnosed. The boy was treated and recovered. The dad was thrilled with his ‘Instant Karma’.
Do you think it was all about karma? Would you have given away a fortune on the belief that it was karma?
Elsewhere on House, Chase is dealing with his decision to kill the dictator from last week. An investigation of the death occupies Forman and Chase as they try to cover Chase’s tracks.
Someone cancelled 13’s travel plans to keep her around.
Forman is still head of operations, which makes House very happy because he gets to solve the medical puzzles and Forman gets all the responsiblity.
Leave your thoughts about the episode in the comment section, I’d love to hear what you think!!
On tonight’s episode of House, James Earl Jones guest stars as a merciless dictator. Jones portrays a controversial African political leader, President Dibala who falls ill and is treated by House’s old team, Forman, Cameron and Chase. House sits in to offer his advice but will not have his medical license back for another month.
The trio struggles with helping the Tyrant who was subpoenaed for crimes against humanity in his country.
Dibala dies while under treatment at Princeton Plainsboro. Forman is troubled, doubting his diagnostic skills until he realizes certain things don’t match up. He approaches Chase with his findings. Chase confesses to switching the blood tests, which caused the death. Chase feels it is better for Dibala to die than to let him potentially kill hundreds of thousands of people, which Dibala was planning.
Forman is furious but it seems like he doesn’t plan on telling anyone what Chase has done, at least not yet.
Back at home, Wilson and his new roomie House are feuding with the downstairs neighbor. The neighbor is very irritable and struggles with chronic pain in what remains of his amputated arm. House can relate, and after several hostile run-ins with the man, in House’s unethical way he alleviates the pain the neighbor had been suffering with for over three decades.
Another great episode, Jones was amazing. What do you think about Chase’s decision? Do you think Forman will turn him in?
Last week’s season premiere of House was outstanding, but it was missing something, the rest of the cast. Tonight’s episode was back at Princeton-Plainsboro with the hospital staff all present. Unfortunately, not everyone will be staying this season. Jennifer Morrison(Cameron) supposedly shot her final scene this week and her last episode will air in November. Her exit was a “creative decision” by producers of House. The answer to everyone’s next question is, Morrison’s on-screen husband, Jesse Spencer (Chase), is not leaving the show.
Now back to tonight’s episode, now that House is no longer a resident at the mental hospital and he has his medical license back it would be assumed that he would return to work. Well not the case, House goes into Cuddy’s office and in front her and Forman quits his job. He is fearful of returning to his old life because he doesn’t want a relapse, that makes sense. The only problem with that is the show is named House so he can’t quit, at least not for very long.
Before the door even closes behind him, Forman started campaigning for House’s job. Cuddy although hesitant, agreed to give him one chance to prove himself.
Forman is presented with a challenging patient, who continues to search online for someone to cure his symptoms which include hallucinations about the video game he is creating. Forman and his team repeatedly strike out with their diagnosis and treatment. Finally, a diagnosis is provided from an unknown doctor on the web and the patient is cured.
Meanwhile, House, who is now living with Wilson, tries to find something to keep his mind off of his chronic leg pain. He discusses with Dr. Nolan his struggle and House seems determined to reinvent himself. After cooking obsessively for several days his becomes bored and finds a bottle of Vicodin. He tells Dr. Nolan that he had a slip, not with the Vicodin but with diagnosing, he was the unknown doctor on the web that cured Forman’s patient. With that, House and his therapist agree he should go back to what he is meant to do.
Next week, House will be back as the brillant Doctor at Princeton-Plainsboro. How do you think Forman will handle the return of House? Do you think this will eventually lead to House abusing drugs again or will he be content just abusing people?
Morrison did not quit – her exit was a creative decision on the part of producers, as told by EW.
Morrison will be the first of the show’s original cast members to depart. She is said to have shot her last scene earlier this week and her final episode will air in November.
Unlike Kal Penn’s dearly-departed Kutner, Cameron will not be killed off. Morrison’s on-screen husband (and ex-fiance), Jesse Spencer (Chase), is not leaving the show. Producers are leaving the door open for Morrison to make a guest appearance later in the season.
I imagine there will be some strong opinions about all of this – so leave a comment. I’m a huge fan of Jennifer Morrison and her character. Disappointed is an understatement.
The 2 hour season 6 premiere of the Fox medical drama House did not disappoint. I actually think it was better than I had expected.
The show picked up where it left off last season,with House as a patient in a psychiatric facility. In the usual House fashion he turned the hospital upside down.
Telling the anorexic he looked fat in his pants, crowding the claustrophobic,telling the suicidal patient she’s a failure, finding everyone’s sore spot and pushing it.
Although he was enjoying torturing the other patients he decided to turn on the staff, with the help of his roommate the manic Alvie (Lin-Manuel Miranda).
But Dr. Nolan (Andre Braugher), the hospital’s chief of staff, proves to be one step ahead of House, has House met his match? Read the rest of this entry »
