House Recap 10/12/09 Instant Karma

Hugh Laurie 

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!!
