Spoilers for future episodes of "House" with Hugh Laurie may come from several types of sources, few of which are totally reliable, not just because their information may be wrong but often just because when you get early information from an early version of a script that info may change in later versions and even during the filming process. Some information may come from journalists and others who hear from people who have heard from people who have heard from people who are involved in the writing or production of the "House" TV show — and we have all played that game.
Spoiler Warning:
"House M.D." Season Four Spoilers, coming soon

- • May 28, 2007: "treefiddy" posted on the Television Without Pity's House Forum on "Human Error", the season Finale:
- "Big shocker comes in the first twenty minutes when House fires Chase for a minor miscalculation. Definite House/Cam, House/Cuddy, and, hold on to your hats folks, House/Wilson hints. House finally admits he wants Foreman to stay with little effect. Foreman quits, Cameron quits, and just to kick House when he's down, the patient bites the dust. Cuddy and Wilson confront House in a final scene that kicks open a door not many would've expected as far as House's interests go, and will give you plenty to think about this season break."
- • May 27, 2007 (2nd): In the new TV Guide, there is an interview with Omar Epps (Omar Epps Makes a House Call: "I Will Be Back"):
- " I will be back. Obviously, it will be different — but I don't think even the writers know how yet.... The show has good ratings, but it's been three years of the same formula, and we should push it a little bit before people get complacent."

- The May 14, 2007 issue of The Enquirer is reporting "Omar Epps, Jennifer Morrison and Jesse Spencer - the elite team of young specialists who assist Dr. Gregory House on the FOX medical drama - are still negotiating their contracts for next season." Hugh Laurie has signed already.
"In the show's May 29 finale, the staff at Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital head their seperate ways in an episode entitled "Human Error." Epps' character Dr. Eric Foreman resigns.... Meanwhile, Spencer's character, Dr. Robert Chase, gets fired from the hospital and Morrison's character, Dr. Allison Cameron, quits in a show of solidarity, said the source."
Editor's Note: We never believe anything from the Enquirer.

- • May 9, 2007:

- • May 8, 2007:
- Promos for Resignation tonight.
- • May 7, 2007: "spidysense" posted on the Television Without Pity's House Forum:
- "...a few little tidbits from 'Resignation.'
"Wilson and House end up dosing each other via coffee. Wilson spikes House's coffee with anti-depressants, House spikes Wilson's coffee with amphetamines. Wilson on uppers is a riot. Chase displays an affinity for reading people - almost House-like you might say. Cameron shows up in House's bedroom in the middle of night, waking him up...
"While at the bar, House tells Honey (Piper Perabo) - in reponse to her statement that she doesn't know anything about him- that he's on anti-depressants because a doctor friend of his thinks he's miserable, he likes meat and drugs, and he doesn't always stay faithful to the women he's dating. She says he's doesn't look miserable, leaving House pleasantly surprised at her response, prompting him to ask if she realizes she just skipped over a whole bunch of stuff that would send most women running etc...she says at least he's telling the truth. House coyly admits that he doesn't always do that either. She matter of factly sums him up by saying he sleeps around, does drugs and saves lives - how miserable can he be? House smiles. And they drink peppermint tea."
Additional Info added later:
"House doesn't realize Wilson has been spiking his coffee (he's been doing it for a period of time. Not just once) until later in the episode, when it dawns on him he's been "hazy," albeit in a pretty good mood. House decides to spike Wilson's coffee with amphetamines because he's trying to figure out why Wilson is yawning. He suspects Wilson might be taking anti-depressants, and since Wilson is being evasive House does what House does... At the time he makes this decision, he has no idea what Wilson has been up to. They do this independently of each other."
When asked if Wilson's high is funny?
"Oh yes. There is a funny exchange with Foreman, leaving Foreman to wonder what the hell is going on, and then he has a very amusing encounter with one of his patients involving gloves, a breast exam and winking."
About Honey
"She's... genuine. I think House is intrigued by her because her boyfriend is no looker, and she could clearly be wtih someone who is. It's funny because when House announces the boyfriend has been *cheating* on her, she doesn't get upset, only resigned to the fact that he's accomplished and smart and of course other women are going to find him attractive. But when she finds out he ate hamburger - that's when she gets pissed.... House likes that she seems attracted to her boyfriend for qualities that House himself has. I think the fact that she didn't get upset that her boyfriend might be cheating on her sexually left the door open for House to possibly explore getting to know her. He has her fill out an application, but that appears to be a ruse to get her phone number. When they first meet in the bar, she thinks it's for a job interview, but then realizes it isn't. House sheeplishly tells her it's 'some kind of interview...' She goes with it after that. She's definitely not stupid. Just seemingly accepting of the faults House has just reeled off about himself. He likes that. Him drinking Peppermint tea by his own choice is his way of telling her he's open to her. Because he hates tea."
- • May 2, 2007 from TV Guide (May 7 print issue):
- Foreman has resigned and "the season's final episodes will focus on the staff reaction—'or non-reaction in House's case,' Shore says—to Foreman's announcement. Whether he like sit or not, Laurie adds, 'House is about to face monumental changes at the hospital.'
"...in the May 8 episode, House meets someone—a beautiful female someone—who forces him to 'plumb his depths,' Laurie says, a response which 'might give the illusion he's changed.'
"...In the same episode, Foreman's big job interview goes bust and everyone suspects sabotage. Shore explains, 'Foreman thinks it's House. House thinks it's Cuddy. Cuddy thinks it's Wilson. Wilson thinks it's Cameron. Cameron thinks it's Chase.'
"...Will Foreman leave the hospital for good? That question makes the finale a cliff-hanger of sorts. Here's what we do know: Epps will be back next year, though his character will be in for some big changes. 'Things will look much different for Foreman next season,' Shore says. 'After three years working alongside House, he needs a change.'"
- • May 1, 2007: E-Online's Kristin has this about the season finale:
- "Season one's finale had a big character reveal (the explanation of House's limp), but don't expect anything similarly drastic for House in this season's finale. Creator David Shore divulges, 'It's something much more subtle, but hopefully equally interesting. We're not going to learn who House's mom was or who his dad was, but we're going to learn a little bit more about who he is.' Executive producer Katie Jacobs chimes in: '[It explores] the toll the last three years have taken on them as a whole, as a unit.'"
- • April 30, 2007: "spidysense" posted on the Television Without Pity's House Forum
- "Just a few fun spoilery bits from the next ep:
"House puts on a cowboy hat....
"House gets a new cane after hector chews his and he wipes out in the hospital when it breaks, causing Wilson to remark 'I didn't do it this time.' Anyway he makes Wilson buy his new 'bitchin' cane and it has flames down the side to which house says "makes it look like I'm going fast."
"House tells Cuddy he's going to fire Foreman in 4 days if he doesn't get his confidence up after killing Lupe. He's going easy on Foreman to try and help him get his confidence back."
- • April 26, 2007: "Elfdream" posted on the Television Without Pity's House Forum a link to The Futon Critic's summary of the last two episodes of the season:
- "In the last all-new May Sweeps episode of HOUSE, "The Jerk" (Tuesday, May 15, 9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT), House meets his match in the form of Nate (guest star Nick Lane), an obnoxious 16-year-old chess prodigy with intense head pain and behavioral issues, who manages to annoy and offend every member of House's team during his course of treatment. Meanwhile, Foreman's frustration with House reaches a new level when he believes House sabotages his job interview with another hospital. And in the season finale of HOUSE, "Human Error" airing Tuesday, May 29 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT), House and the team take on the case of a young woman who, along with her husband, is rescued at sea en route from Cuba in a desperate attempt to see House and get a diagnosis for her illness. Meanwhile, Foreman prepares for his last day at Princeton Plainsboro Teaching Hospital."
- • April 25, 2007: "zhaara" posted on the Television Without Pity's House Forum this link to Spoilers from Kristin of E!online in which there is the following (as well as more),
- "Thanks to an event yesterday on the set of House—the cast was launching the HouseCharityTees.com drive benefitting the National Alliance on Mental Illness—I scored a little one-on-one time with the cast and some scoop on which way the showmances are heading...
"House and Cuddy Will Get Cuddly—Eventually: House likes Cuddy. He wants to see her naked. We know this from the last episode, when he asked her to a play (code for requesting a viewing of her B-day suit). But will it ever happen? According to show creator David Shore...drum roll, please...'Yeah. Tune in. You'll see her naked.' Whoo! The only downside? He's, um, kidding. Still, Shore says plans for bona fide Huddy action are on the horizon. 'It won't happen this season,' he says, 'but we're taking little baby steps toward that, and we'll get there.'"
- • April 24, 2007: And Diane Kristine interviewed Lawrence Kaplow about the season finale which he co-wrote:
- "Ending Season Three With a Bang? An Interview with House Writer Lawrence Kaplow" which has the following:
"'You have to understand: [David] Shore is House,' Kaplow says, explaining the sense of humour of show creator David Shore, and, therefore, of his indelible character. 'It's not even sarcasm, it's just truth, it's painful truth, maybe an exaggeration of reality.'"
"...Starting with the season two finale, we've looked deeper into the man who maybe sees his medical skills as a pass into a world where he doesn't fit, who maybe clings to his misery as a sign of his superiority. We saw in 'No Reason' — co-written by Shore and Kaplow — that he would give up his brilliance for a shot at normalcy. Then in 'Half-Wit we saw he would make a similar choice for a patient....
"'Is it a desperate act to feel good? Is it a desperate act to feel normal?' Kaplow asks. 'House would do anything to just be average. And unfortunately he's cursed with a mind that will not allow him to rest. I think that brings about a lot of his pain, forget about his leg.'
Speaking of House, he says "'I do think he's self aware. I don't think he's in the dark about who he is at all,' Kaplow responds to the critique that he hasn't learned anything. 'I think people like to think that deep down he has a heart of gold. Um, no, he doesn't. He really doesn't.'
"He even balks at the suggestion that House shows glimmers of humanity, calling it an 'odd' sort of humanity. 'He gets annoyed at irrational choices, so he will tell the truth rather than a lie to get his way out of a conversation.'" (editor's note, there is a lot more in this interview)
- • April 21, 2007: Diane Kristine who writes a blog that focuses on the TV Show House emailed us the following information:
- "The season three finale is written by Lawrence Kaplow and Thomas Moran, and directed by Katie Jacobs."
- • April 20, 2007: "Annathaema" posted on the Television Without Pity's House Forum the following link to pictures from #322 "Resignation" about which the poster said,
- "These images were first posted The Celebrity City and the credit is due to someone named 'yonco.'"
- • April 16, 2007: "zhaara" posted on the Television Without Pity's House Forum:
- "Clips on 'Act Your Age': Two new clips are up at IGN, "Explaining a patient's thick blood" and "Cuddy & House argue". "
- • April 15, 2007: "zhaara" posted on the Television Without Pity's House Forum:
- "a tidbit from tvguide.com and the reason for the problems with the dog in ep 21 (Family).
A 14-year-old with leukemia needs a bone-marrow transplant from his 10-year-old brother to save his life, but the brother develops an infection that not only prevents him from donating but could kill him as well. Meanwhile, House is criticizing Wilson about his handling of the boys' parents. And at home, House's new roommate---Wilson's former dog Hector---is chewing on just about everything in sight."
- • April 12, 2007: "Annathaema" posted on the Television Without Pity's House Forum:
- "Katie Jacobs is directing the season finale."
- • April 8, 2007: "donkeykong" posted on the Television Without Pity's House Forum:
- "In act your age, House gives Wilson tickets to a play. He takes Cuddy. The next day House is all Cuddy, why do you have extra concealer on? What did u do last night and cuddy says she went to a play... House confronts Wilson saying you only ask a girl to a play if you want to see her naked. House then fucks with him to make him think that Cuddy has the hots for him, i.e. sends Wilson flowers and signs the card 'lisa.' meanwhile. wilson is fucking with House repeatedly saying he slept with Cuddy, which stuns House each time. At the end, House tells Cuddy he has tickets to a play and invites her."
- • March 29, 2007: Two posts today on the Television Without Pity's House Forum:
- "zhaara" posted that "imdb lists the title of ep 22 as 'Resignation.'"
- And "Ranee" posted that "per the upcoming April (6?) issue of EW (the full article can be seen at hughlaurie.net under the news section), in a forthcoming episode of House - he gets a dog."
- • March 28, 2007: David Lomazoff sent us a link to this from TV Guide's Ask Ausiello:
- "Piper Perabo is guest-starring in this season's next-to-last episode as a potential love interest for House."
And there was more on this the previous day in an Ausiello Report Exclusive:
"In what I'm pretty sure marks her first dalliance with the small screen, House has cast Piper Perabo (Coyote Ugly, The Prestige) as a potential love interest for Hugh Laurie's crotchety doc in this season's second-to-last episode. As of now, Perabo's on board for one episode, but a source close to the show says there's 'definite recurring potential.'"
- • March 24, 2007: Just a reminder because many people will forget and be disappointed:
- "House" will start and end seven minutes late this Tuesday (the 27th)!
And since we're doing a non-spoiler post, Let us recommendd a new series on NBC: "Raines" (third episode will be Friday evening the 30th in its regular timeslot, although the previous two have been on Thursday) about which one reviewer wrote: "Smart, eccentric, and sarcastic, he's kind of a cross between Adrian Monk and Alison Dubois with a dash of Gregory House. Raines' unique twist is that he wanted to be a writer, so even though he ended up a cop, he has a writer's imagination — characters (read dead people) come alive for him."
- • March 17, 2007: "lawm" posted on the Television Without Pity's House Forum:
- "Ep 20 is called 'House Training' and Doris Egan wrote it."
- • March 6, 2007: "OLucy" posted on the Television Without Pity's House Forum about Ep. #21, yet untitled:
- "A rather sad, depressing ep about a 14 yo patient, Nick, who needs a bone marrow transplant which is supposed to be provided by his 8yo brother, Matty. We see Matty's mom try to prepare Matty to see Nick after his last round of treatment. They're putting on their sterile clothing, and you get the idea that Matty's been through this drill before and thinks he knows what to expect. He is taken aback, however, when he sees his brother. But his brother tries to assure him everything will be okay again and they'll play in the back yard when this is all over. (Nick and Matty's dad is sitting with Nick, so this is a 4-person family). Matty snuck a baseball into his brother's sterile area as a "good luck" gesture before the bone marrow procedure. Everyone panics for a moment but Wilson diplomatically steps in and tells the boy to put the baseball in a sterile bag so that his brother can hold it. Just as Wilson is telling him how lucky he is that he's healthy--so that he can be a bone marrow donor to his brother, Matty sneezes and wipes his nose.
"Later, it appears that the parents have to make a decision about saving one son or the other. The parents break the news to Nick that he's not going to make it.
"During Nick's total body radiation he vomits. Foreman leaves the room, seeming unable to take it. Cameron and Chase are tending to Nick with an IV, in for the long haul. Later, we see Foreman in the doorway of the chapel, leaving."
- • March 3, 2007: "spidysense" posted on the Television Without Pity's House Forum in several places in the discussion of spoilers thread, information on the next episode where the Team "finds out" that House is dying and (at the end) some spoilers for "Top Secret":
- House goes to Cuddy's in the middle of the night to discuss the POTW (Dave Matthews) and as he's leaving, Cuddy tells House she's there for him if he needs her. He looks at her with those eyes and tells her he "needs her." Then she hugs him, prompting House to put his hand on her ass during the embrace. As she's going back to her bedroom, House tries to follow her....
- Oh, and Chase and Cameron break into House's apartment. Chase is worried House is going to come home and find them, but then he suggests to Cameron they go to the bedroom. Cameron is a little taken aback that he's afraid of House coming home and yet wants to *do it* in House's bed. Chase's reasoning is that if he's going to get fired anyway...
- And that House/Cam kiss is hot. That is if you find the idea of House kissing someone, complete with partial tongue hot. Stacy should have been so lucky. Best onscreen kiss I've seen from HL. Cameron doesn't actually get any blood from House, because he grabs her hand from her pocket before she can stick him.
- I forgot to say that while Chase and Cam are in House's apartment, they find his high school year book. There is a photo of Hugh from what looks to be the Footlights era.
- Foreman does tell House that even though he's an unlikable ass, he likes him anyway.
- Wilson is hurt that House didn't come to him. Which should give you a clue as to what is going on with House dying.
- Chase tells House he knows he doesn't want him to, but he's going to hug him. And he does. And he keeps hugging and hugging and hugging and House is just standing there like a scarecrow, not really having a clue as to what to do. That's when he asks Chase if he's crying. Chase pulls away, hiding his face and says no.
- About the same episode, "spidysense" later says, "It's a superb episode. Dave Matthews is seriously wonderful, Kurtwood Smith perfect and moving, HL plays a beautiful piece on the piano House wrote in Jr. High and there is some great Wilson friendship stuff where he pointedly tells House he has people who care about him, but House refuses to acknowledge it.... It all sounds crazy when one is reading this stuff, but it works when you watch it. That's the problem with spoilers. No matter how much detail there is or isn't — it's never the same as actually seeing it for yourself.
When asked who tells Wilson about House, "spidysense" says, "Cuddy did. She found out because she thought House was applying for a job in Boston and called to get the real scoop. She then goes to Wilson to find out if House told him about the cancer. House didn't. House doesn't tell anyone anything, but as usual they get in his business. But, it must be said they get in his business because they care about him."
- "Cameron.... initially goes to his office to ask him to sign the letter of recommendation she wrote and wants his signature on. She's applying to Penn. House asks why and she answers that if he's not going to be around there is no point in her staying. He thanks her for writing it up so he doesn't have to, she thanks him for signing it so she doesn't have to forge his signature. He then sits back and looks at her, telling her to stay away from a certain doc over there because he's all touchy feely with his patients and he wouldn't like her. Cameron looks puzzled and House says the guy wouldn't like her because of her new found hardness in the face of Cancer. Referring to the apparent nonchalant way she's approached House, knowing he has cancer. He then seriously asks her if she really wants to go and stands up. That's when Cameron slowly walks over to him and he's apprehensive - asking her what she's doing. She takes his face in her hands and kind of strokes it before she kisses him. And he definitely kisses back. That's when she reaches into her lab coat pocket and House realizes she might be up to something. I honestly don't believe he thinks until then he was being played...and I'm not quite sure that it was Cameron's first intention. It's almost as though something was compelling her to kiss him, and then she realized this might be her chance to get his blood. People will have to come to their own conclusion. When he grabs her hand he makes a joke about kissing and stabbing being a bit horrorish."
When asked what kind of underwear House wears in the scene mentioned before, "spidysense" says, "Gray boxer briefs. Like Jockeys."
- When asked if House/Cuddy actually sleep together" the answer is: "They don't. But they *did* once. Cuddy tells House to get over her. House laughs and says Cuddy is the one who hired him. She jumps in by saying she hired him because he's a good doctor who couldn't get hired at a blood bank. House retorts that she gave him everything he asked for because "one night I gave YOU everything you asked for." Cuddy smiles and tells him to stop looking at her ass, showing up on her dates and fantasizing about her in the shower..."
- We're going to get our Chase/Cameron doing it all over the hospital in the next ep. (Top Secret) House suspects something's up with them for sure. First thing in the morning he asks if they shower together. Of course they both get defensive and say "no" in unison. Dead give away for House. Chase suspects Cameron wants to do it in places they shouldn't at the hospital because she's hoping House will find out.
- "Top Secret" gives us two House and Wilson at the urinals together scenes, House in his underwear unsuccessfully trying to pee, House sitting on the toilet with his pants down inserting a catheter into himself, House in the bathtub...wearing glasses, House walking down his hallway with his back to us in his underwear, Wilson astounded House could insert his own catheter and House answering that the first "nine or ten inches" are the hard part....
- • March 2, 2007: TV Guide's AskAusiello had this:
- Question: "Does Cameron actually kiss House, as Fox's promos for the Mar. 6 episode lead us to believe? Or does he back out at the last minute? And would you happen to know anything about this "big secret" of House's?" — Brittany
Ausiello: "I've seen the episode you speak of and she most definitely goes through with the smooch. And it's not some simple peck on the lips. It's a full-blown, slightly open mouth kiss that lasts a good seven seconds. Her motivation for the kiss ties in directly with House's "big secret," and sort of mimics a move House made on Cam last season."
Question: "More House scoop!" — Megan
Ausiello: "We're going to finally meet Wilson's ex-wife in an episode to air in April/May. And because all roads lead back to Dr. Cranky Pants, she'll blame House for destroying her marriage."
- • March 1, 2007: "donkeykong" posted on the Television Without Pity's House Forum info on the episode scheduled for March 27:
- "In episode #316, House walks in on Chase and Cam. making out in a utility closet. They stop and look at him, he throws away some trash and walks out and then as he walks down the hall he starts laughing."
- • February 28, 2007: "OLucy" posted on the Television Without Pity's House Forum information on Episode #20, the Patient of the Week (PoTW) and the Team (Ducklings):
- Our PoTW is Lupe, and when we meet her she's part of a scam artist team performing three-card monte on a Trenton street. Her role is to be a plant in the crowd to help dupe people into placing money on a bet. But much to her partner's chagrin--she loses her concentration and can't keep track of the card. The dealer lets it slip that he knows her, the crowd disperses, and she collapses.
- Foreman diagnoses her with abulia--the inability to make decisions or exercise will--and is part of a Transient Ischemic Attack. He questions her on drug use or possible exposure to toxins. She describes her last couple of menial jobs, none of which seem helpful.
- In a later discussion between House and Ducklings, Foreman reveals Lupe was pregnant at 15, dropped out of high school, and her baby died of SIDS. While they're talking, House looks out the window toward the elevator and sees Wilson kissing a 30-something woman, Bonnie, on the cheek. Foreman is talking about the patient when House excuses himself and leaves the room.
- In another scene, Foreman knocks on the door of a hotel room and the door is opened by Rodney, Foreman's dad. Foreman's mom is also there, and asks Foreman if he's happy. She's talking about a high school photo of his that she had reframed and brought with her. During some of their conversation, it seems that Rodney and Eric aren't sure if Alicia is having an Alzheimer's moment. She mentions that they only person they're missing is their brother. Eric and Rodney exchange glances and Rodney says quietly that he thinks the brother is "going to miss tonight."
- Later, Lupe is on a drip being treated for arsenic poisoning. Cameron comes in to talk to her, and Lupe starts coughing, then spitting up blood.
- More procedures performed on Lupe. During one led by Cameron and Chase, they have yet another convo where Chase lets Cameron know that if she changes her mind, he'll be available. She again clarifies how much she is not interested in dating him, having sex with him, or doing anything with him. She chastises Chase for continuing to bring it up when she considers it closed. Chase remains calm and reasonable.
- Later, Bonnie appears to be a realtor showing a condo to House. He's questioning her about dates she'd been on with Wilson. House appears to feign interest in seeing the condo just so he can ask her questions about her past relationship with Wilson. She claims she was coming off a bad relationship and Wilson said they could go out as friends. She appears to be a little bitter that Wilson was actually sincere about that. She talks about getting sucked in emotionally because he's so "knight in shining armor." Until he's not. But then you're hooked. House posits that if she and Wilson had actually had sex before they "connected", she'd be over him. She affirms that sex with Wilson is fantastic. That no one works harder to give a woman what she wants.
- Meanwhile, Lupe is still weak and still coughs occasionally. Foreman confronts Lupe over a crack pipe found where she lives. She claims it belonged to the guy who used to live with her. She claims she doesn't do drugs. She thinks Foreman doesn't like her. She accuses him of having too high an opinion of himself because he got out of the projects when others didn't. While he's examining her and talking, she has another "brain freeze."
- She's later diagnosed with cancer and Foreman is going over the consent form for the radiation. She has another brain incident while thinking about signing the form. She crashes. She revives to sign the form and receives a radiation treatment. Foreman and Cam are examining her post-treatment. Foreman detects a heart murmur. Cam tightens the blood pressure cuff and Lupe screams in pain.
- Bonnie shows up at House's office and complains that he's not returning any of her calls. She may have another condo to show him. He tells her he's off the market. She deduces that Wilson was right, House was never going to buy anything from her. It turns out that Bonnie is Wilson's ex-wife! House tells her that just because she and Wilson are divorced, Wilson won't stop giving her good advice. Bonnie lays into House about how much she's resented him since she married Wilson. She named their bad-tempered dog Hector because he peed on the carpet every morning and "Hector does go rug" is an anagram for Doctor Greg House. She resented how much House needed Wilson and Wilson would be there for him. She resented that House never cared that he infringed on Wilson's time with his wife. She doesn't blame House for breaking up their marriage, but says he didn't help it, either. House says "Hector does go rug" is a lame anagram and a better anagram for Gregory House is "Huge ego, sorry". He tells her to get out of sales because she talks too much about unimportant things and he's not going to buy a condo just to make her feel better. She leaves.
- Foreman approaches Lupe to tell her she has an infection and she's dying. She has less than 24 hours. She doesn't have cancer and it turns out the radiation is the worst thing they could have done for her, because it destroyed her immune system.
- Foreman and Lupe have a meaningful conversation about how they rightfully and wrongfully assessed each other and talk a little about their pasts. Foreman says that the last time he came home for Christmas in college, where the only book in the house was the Bible, he didn't think he could do this anymore. But when he said goodbye to him mom and she put her arms around him, that's the last time he ever felt at home.
- Lupe says Foreman was right about her. Sometimes the system is tough, but it's also crap that the system always works against you. She knows she made some mistakes, but she always thought she was young and "had time."
- Eventually Lupe loses consciousness and doesn't revive. We see only Foreman alone in the room with her.
- House performs an illegal autopsy, just far enough to determine how Lupe died. Chase says that they were all wrong, even House.
- Wilson talks with Lupe's grandparents. Wilson pats the grandma's hand empathetically, just as he had earlier taught Foreman to do. House says that the cause of death was a a simple staph infection and some bad decisions.
- The ep ends with Foreman back at the hotel, and there's a birthday cake in a bakery box on the bed. Foreman tells his mom that he did hurt someone. She comforts him, tells him it wasn't his fault and hugs him. He pulls away, asks if she knows who he is and says it's Eric. She says of course, and hugs him again. She says her little boy's name is Eric. We leave them in their embrace.

- A big, old snowstorm causes chaos on "House" ...tonight.
The ER is short on staff as a result so they get a little help from the snarkiest doctor on the planet.
House (Hugh Laurie) takes an interest in Hannah (Mika Boorem, "White Oleander"), a 16-year-old car-crash victim, when he discovers that she is insensitive to pain.
She's also very headstrong and concerned about her mother, who was injured more seriously in the crash.
Best of all, she's not intimidated by House's usual antics and even talks back to him....
Since House is a brilliant multi-tasker, he also finds time to meddle with Cuddy's (Lisa Edelstein) love life. She has a date with a man she met online and Dr. Crankypants finds myriad ways to interrupt it.

- TEASER:
Fran is an uptight, middle-aged woman who has a very G-Rated life, so it seems. Robin shows up at the door in a suit looking like a real estate agent. Robin enters the house and they make small talk. They start discussing a "business" deal, where Robin takes out what appears to be a contract and hands it to Fran. So we think that Fran is selling the house or something. Turns out Robin is an escort of sorts, offering in-home services with all sorts of options that Fran can pick from. It's a thousand dollars for her "services". Fran picks a package and Robin goes to change into an outfit. Fran goes to get the money and begins to get dizzy and finally collapses.
- CLINIC WITH WILSON
Wilson begins to check out Fran with Robin beside her. They don't tell Wilson right away that they don't know each other. Wilson knows something is up by the way they're acting. Wilson thinks it's just a drug side effect and sends her on her way. He asks where House is and we cut to...
- In the Airport/ Singapore
We find House, unhappy, in a wheelchair being pushed by a porter. Cuddy walks beside him. Behind him a mother carries a small crying child.
House: It's an antique vintner's canel and it cost me 900 dollars.
Cuddy: It has a corkscrew in it.
House: Ahh, that would explain the 'vintner' reference... -
- Cuddy: A hundred and twenty dollars in "video services".
House: I was lonely.
Cuddy: It's five hundred in expenses I can't justify.
House: Don't worry, I'll take care of it.
Cuddy: Right.
(A flight attendant named Keo greets them.)
Keo: Welcome aboard. Mr. House, you're in 4A, first class to my right. Ms. Cuddy, you're in 15C to my left.
Cuddy: No, I booked 2 first class tickets; there must be some mistake.
House: No mistake. I just arranged for a five hundred dollar fare reduction. Unjustified expense problem solved.
Off Cuddy as House limps to take his seat in 1st class. Note: House is without his cane throughout this episode.
(Kate note: They lost his cane)
- Back at the hospital...
Fran has gotten worse and is admitted. Wilson talks to Fran again to get a history out of her. Find out where she's been, what she's eaten, etc. Turns out she went to Caracas where she ate the food and water, as well as cocaine and lots of sex.
- Back in the plane...
Peng: (to flight attendant) Another, please?
But as Keo turns to go, Peng suddenly doubles over, groaning in pain.
Keo: Mr. Peng...
Peng: Oh God...
Keo: Are you alright?
Peng: I think i'm gonna be sick...
Keo: Let's get you to the rest room.
As she takes his arm, he recoils from her touch, crying out in pain.
Peng: My shoulder...
Keo: You'll feel better if you..
Peng vomits.
(End scene)
- Peng is very ill. House bends over and puts his head against Peng's chest.
Peng: What are you doing?
House: Listening for chest sounds, shhh. (beat) take off your shirt.
Peng: My shirt? Why?
House: I think I hear something.
Peng: What is it?
House; Sounds like an Asian man talking. (beat) Take off your pants.
Peng: Here? No...
House: I need to get a better look at your rash. Promise we won't laugh.
Peng reluctantly agrees to undo his pants, stopping as the movement causes pain.
Peng: I can't... it hurts...
- (Next scene)
Peng, still in pain, is now dazed, half-conscious, his speech slurred. House shoves a vicodin in Peng's mouth.
Peng: What's that...
Houe: Vicodin, and something to wash it down.
House pours a mini of vodka down Peng's throat. Peng swallows it, half chocking.
Peng: It burns...
House: Not for long. We have to operate on you.
Peng: Operate? In a hospital?
House: No here.
Peng: On a plane?
House: they have a great health plan.
Peng sees the tray of makeshift surgical instruments; he panics.
Peng: No, no...
But peng is too weak to fight back.
- Back in the hospital....
Wilson gets the sense that the patient's "friend" isn't really that close to her, but asks her to stay with Fran anyway because she has no one else there. He sends Fran for a mammography with Cameron. Fran tries to tell Robin that she can leave but Roin stays, even though she's a bit uncomfortable about it. During the mammogram, Fran's goes blind in her right eye.
- Back in the plane...
House sprawls out in his roomy 1st class seat, sipping a glass of white wine.
Keo: Here you are, rib eye, medium rare. Some more Pinot Grigio?
House: No, I think I'll switch to the Syrah, please.
As House is about to dig in, he hears a groan from across the aisle, coming from PENG, Asian male, 30s, bald, empty cocktail glass and a half finished fish meal in front of him.
Keo: Mr. Peng, are you alright?
House: He's just drunk.
Keo quickly offers Peng a airsickness bag but too late. Peng vomits. Keo speaks to him in Chinese and Peng responds in a language Keo clearly doesn't understand. Keo looks around desperately.
- (next scene)
House places a post-it note as it in an L-shape on Peng's chest and watches it. Keo and Cuddy watch, confused. We see it move with each beat of his heart.
House (to Keo) A healthy heart goes, lub-dub, lub-dub" His heart goes "pul-lub-dub, pul-lub-dub".
Close up on post it note...Sure enough there's a tiny extra beat between 2 bigger ones.
House: Arrythmia explains the disorientation, pain, ataxia.
Cuddy: Not the vomiting. not the rash. And none of her symptoms. Unless you think she has arrythmia too.
House lifts peng's shirt and sees that he has a rash that runs down his pants.
House: help me get his pants off (off Cuddy's look). I want a better look at his rash. And set and important precedent for when I examine Baby Spice.
Off Joy, her fear growing...
Peng wakes up half naked as House and Cuddy are examining him. He's got a rash down his legs and knees. House touches the rash.
Cuddy: Well?
House: It's definitely a rash.
- ---For more of this, see the original post which reveals more about Chase and Cameron as well as scene by scene details of this episode.---
- • February 11, 2007: "unknownaddict" posted on the House Spoilers: Fandom Talk Some Dialogue from Episode #17:
- Chase and Cameron are doing a procedure and talking while alone...
Cameron: So House catches us making out, doesn't say a word, and now he's going on vacation.
Chase: The pain of losing you is obviously forcing him away. (re: the monitor) Lateral slice appears normal--
Cameron: -- That's not what I'm saying, or what I'm hoping for. There's no way House just lets this slide; he's gotta be planning something.
Chase: Or maybe he's an adult and he respects our privacy. Sagittal slice is clean.
Cameron: House? You think he just stumbled into that closet? He knew we were there, and he wanted us to know that he knew.
Chase: Or, you wanted him to know, now he does, and you're annoyed because he doesn't care. (re: monitor) Right there; trans-axial slice; hardened mitral valve.
Cameron: Barely; that's not big enough to throw a clot.
Chase: Obviously it is, because it did. House was right.
Cameron: What a jerk.
- Chase talking to Emma about the baby and the procedure. Then he goes to hand her her bag and camera and spots a picture of Cameron...
Chase: When did you take this?
Emma: She was changing my catheter bag. You should keep it.
Chase hands Emma the camera.
Chase: I see her all day at work. I don't need it.
Emma: Maybe you want to see her after work.
Chase betrays nothing.
Emma: I'm right, aren't I? I saw the way you look at her. Go on. Keep it.
Chase finally picks up the picture. Emma snaps a photo, capturing the moment.
- Chase and Cameron are examining Emma's surgical wound. She's unconcious...
Chase: Puncture sight looks good.; no infection. Did House say anything else? About us?
Cameron: Why do you care?
Chase: Because I like my job.
Cameron: He can't fire you because we're together--
Chase: We're not 'together' and House can do whatever he wants--
Suddenly Emma begins to stir, barely opening her eyes.
- Foreman and Chase talking while doing a procedure...
Foreman: I see it. So I was right about you and Cameron in the sleep lab? (Chase nods) How serious is it?
Chase: It's nothing; she's only doing it to make House jealous.
Foreman: Then why are you doing it?
Chase: You kidding? What's the downside?
Foreman: You're approaching the inferior vena cava; slow down. (serious) You better not hurt her.
Chase: She already has a big brother.
Foreman: She does?
Chase: You obviously care very deeply about her. I'm inserting the sheath--
Foreman: I'm not protecting her, I'm protecting myself. A heart-broken, love-sick Cameron will be even more unbearable then she is now. (re: the monitor) You're through the hepatic vein.
Chase: I'm firing the needle--
The rest of the scene is procedural stuff
- House and the fetus...
House: Haven't you ever vacuumed up a flooded basement? Gimme-- House takes the suction device and carefully drains the amniotic fluid into a warm, sterile container for use later. Suddenly... THE FETUS' TINY HAND REACHES OUT OF THE WOMB And grasps one of House's fingers. He freezes, astonished; unexpectedly swept up in the enormity of the moment.
Cuddy: Affix the pulse-ox to the palm.
House is frozen.
Cuddy: House--
House suddenly snaps back into reality.
House: (covering) Sorry; just realized I forgot to TiVo 'Project Runway'--
- Final scene...
Emma: So my kidneys, liver and lungs are fine? Just like that?
House: Just like that.
Emma: That's amazing.
House: What's amazing is how blonde your baby's hair is.
Emma: (a bit thrown)...baby?
House: You know the thing in your belly that almost killed you.
Emma: You never called it a baby before.
House realizes his slip but just moves on, checking the surgical scar across her abdomen.
House: ...The laparotomy's healing nicely. Any pain?
Emma: Nothing I can't deal with.
House: (pops a few vicodin): I'd slip you a few of these but you're preggers.
House: Now remember, you're only allowed out of bed to pee, poop or shower. Absolutely no sex so stop flirting with me.
Emma smiles as House places a fetal heart rate monitor on her belly.
House: Resting heart rate's good.
Emma: This really worked? He'll be...normal?
House: Well, if you call being born twice normal.
House smiles. Emma smiles back, relieved. As House heads out...
- A MONTAGE OF STILL PHOTOGRAPHS
That Emma has taken during her two month recovery period.
-- Cameron checking Emma's vitals, Chase is visible in the background staring at Cameron longingly.
-- A shot of Emma's enlarging belly...
-- Cuddy performing and ultrasound...
-- Chase and Foreman wheeling Emma to the delivery room...
-- And finally, a shot of Emma holding her newborn, healthy, baby boy.
- • February 8, 2007: "OLucy" posted on the Television Without Pity's House Forum information on Episode #19 - "Act Your Age":
-
Dad, (Deran) is an overextended widower dad who is a zoology prof. Goes to pick up kids from daycare. Son Jasper had been accused of pushing a classmate off monkey bars because the classmate said he smelled. Daughter Lucy appears to be the 'good girl', but falls to her knees, clutching for breath.
- After theme/credits, Lucy is recovering from heart surgery. Chase and Cam are treating her, Deran and Jasper are in room. They discuss where Lucy has been. Some place where she'd be exposed to something moist where she'd pick up a fungus. Jasper kinda flirts with Cam (cute). Chase injects Lucy with lidocaine and she goes blind.
- Later, Lucy tests positive for juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. Deran discusses this with Foreman, but now Lucy can't speak and goes limp. Foreman deduces a stroke.
- In a later scene, Chameron discuss that House is going to make them go everywhere together until they work it out.
- Jasper brings Cameron a floral arrangement "for helping my sister." Chase pulls out the card which says Congratulations on your bundle of joy" and deduces that he stole them from a maternity patient! Cam takes a single flower and kisses the kid on the cheek.
- Later, Lucy is subjected to bloodletting.
- Later, House confronts father with a bloody t-shirt found in the vent under Lucy's bed (assuming at house, not hospital room). Accuses father of beating or diddling. Suspects diddling more. House says if not you, then someone. Where's her brother? Brother not around. House wants to do a vaginal exam. Father distraught because she's only five years old.
- Cam does the exam for other cuts/bruises/signs of abuse. Is shocked when she starts vaginal exam. Later scene indicates it's because Lucy has started puberty, a condition called precocious puberty. Cam posits that excess hormones caused the stroke. If they can figure out where the hormones are coming from, they can help her.
- Later, Foreman and Chase are putting Lucy through a CT machine and Chase is telling Foreman that Cameron is the one who broke it off. Foreman says he's not interested.... Chase says he wanted more, but Cam didn't share his feelings. Foreman calls him an idiot. Foreman posits that Cam is either lying or is emotionally detached. Chase asks why she'd be lying. Foreman accuses him of sleeping with her for months and still having no idea who she is. Meanwhile, they find a tumor in Lucy's ovary.
- Chase is breaking this news to the dad when Jasper asks Chase if "that other doctor" is his girlfriend. Chase is stymied and replied that they're very close.
- House treats a clinic patient who is middle-aged and has lost feeling in her thighs. House deduces it's because her jeans are too tight.
- Cam gets on an elevator with two bags of some kind of sample from Lucy's house. Jasper runs to the elevator to ask her about Chase being her boyfriend, and calls Chase a tool.... Cam is nice to him. Jasper smacks her on the ass!
- More stuff happens to Lucy. Meanwhile, Cam and Chase have 'the talk.' She apologizes for leading him on, and he doesn't buy it. She says it was just for sex. Chase isn't buying it. Jasper bursts onto the scene and flies into a blinding jealous rage, hurls himself at Chase and bites him. As punishment, Jasper is submitted to an MRI. Then he's bled, just as Lucy was.
- Both children are examined at the same time, but Lucy has an excruciating stomach pain.
- Cam wants to do an invasive procedure on Lucy that House disagrees with. They're looking for clues that link the two kids.... Cam tells Deran that her husband died of brain cancer and she knows how hard it is to make this decision. House says he can't believe she just played the 'dead husband card.'
- Dad signs consent form.
- Dad says the kids go to after school day care and none of the other kids are sick. House asks how he'd know that, since he's been at PPTH for a couple of days. House takes off, with his suspicions.
- House bounds into the daycare facility and asks all the kids if any of them has hair in their special place. Talks to teacher about what kind of soap they use there and then stops, looking at a rash on her upper lip. Suspects it's a really recent lip wax. Teacher says she ran out during lunch to have it done. House wonders why she'd need to run out at lunch to get it done--unless the body hair was excessive and she didn't want to wait.
- Turns out the dad is doing the teacher, but using a male enhancement cream to keep up. It's affecting the teacher, and the excess that he excretes through his skin is also affecting the kids, because he touches them through the normal course of the day. House assures him that if he stops using the cream, he'll be floppy, but the kids will be fine.
- This explains why both children are exhibiting signs of early puberty. Lucy by menstruating early? (assuming that's what bloody shirt was about) and Jasper by being overly aggressive with Cam.
- • January 19, 2007 TV Guide's Community's Spoiler collection on episode 3.15 (No Title Yet):
- "The PoTW (Patient of the Week): It appears he's a 35 year old musical savant. He's mentally impared in all ways except musically. He can play anything, even after only hearing it once. Managed by his father, he gives piano concerts for a living. He can barely dress himself, but he's a virtuoso on the keyboards. Anyway, one night he is performing and he starts screwing up, which he never does and of course that leads him PPTH. It turns out the guy was injured years ago, leading to brain damage etc...House is intrigued by his musical ability and pushes a full sized keyboard into the guy's room. House starts playing 'Blackbird' by Paul McCartney, to which Patrick (the patient's name), responds by playing it perfectly. House then plays a complicated, cool jazz number - Patrick again plays the exact same thing. Then House plays something rich and complicated. Ditto. Except Patrick starts playing along *with* House, leading House to get an clue about something medically. (I do believe we see House playing 'The Entertainer' by Scott Joplin later on as well.) I won't go into the medicine etc..but House eventually figures out that if they remove half of Patrick's brain, he'll be able to lead a fairly normal life as a full person (something he cannot do right now), but he'll lose his musical ability. A choice is there to be made by Patrick and his father. Have an actual *life* or go on as you are - your only ability being the ability to play the piano."
- • January 18, 2007 TV Guide's Community's Spoiler collection on episode 3.14 - Insensitive:
- "The POTW has an inability to feel pain/sensation. (Hannah - teenage girl) She's antagonistic and stubborn, leading to a fun exchange between she and House to see who can top each other. She talks about how she has to check in the mirror every morning to make sure she didn't scratch her cornea in her sleep. House retorts that he checks in the mirror everyone morning to check his eyes for jaundice, in case 'the Vicodin's finally shot my liver.' She tells him she can't run anywhere without examing all ten toes for swelling. House says he 'can't run.' Hannah shoots back that her boyfriends can't hold her too long because her body overheats. House retorts that his girlfriends 'can't hold me too long because I only pay for an hour.' She ups the ante by saying she can't even tell when she has to go to the bathroom, and she has an alarm on her watch to remind her - which she only thought of after many humiliating experiences. House then gets right in her face and says 'I got shot. Wanna see the wound?' He thinks he won, but she gives him an evil smile and says she sat on a stove when she was three. Does he want to see the coil marks?
"She also socks House in the face, after she's faked him out while in the MRI machine.
"She later falls off the second floor balcony, right in front of House and Foreman."
3.14 - "is fun in part because Cuddy hooks up with a guy she met online - and House keeps interrupting them. He shows up at the Starbucks where they are meeting for coffee and later he shows up at Cuddy's house - where he makes a note that she's not wearing a bra and that she "just met the guy." She says "I like him and I like sex." Then she asks House if HE likes her, because usually he avoids her at all costs, but suddenly he needs her personal input on everything. So, he's either an altruistic person concerned about her well being or he wants her for himself..."
3.14 - "A young woman named Hannah is caught by the police while spray painting graffiti on a bridge and when her mother Cynthia picks her up from the police station, she begins to have hallucinations. Arguing with her daughter when Hannah begins to see and hear the same things over and over again, Cynthia doesn't see a snow plow in time to stop and hit it, causing them both to go to the hospital. House watches while Chase cleans her cuts and bruises and, intrigued when she rattles off information that a normal 16-year-old wouldn't know, asks her if she's heard of déja-vu. He tells her it's pretty common unless it's happening as often as it is with her. He looks at her lips, fingers and fingernails and mentions she has an extremely rare condition called CIPA, Congenital insensitivity to pain, which means she can't feel ANY pain. She and House compare scars and problems before House surprises her and drugs her so they can perform the tests needed that she won't sit still for. She continues to ask to see her mother, giving the doctors problems while they try and test and treat her. They finally operate and House pulls out a 25-foot long tapeworm, which has been causing some of Hannah's problems."
- • January 17, 2007: "OLucy" posted on the Television Without Pity's House Forum A rehash of Ep #16 and information about the Ep 17:
- A rehash of Ep #16:
- PoTW: A military man who thinks he has Gulf War syndrome. Symptoms: a rash, fatigue, cough, sore throats and joint pain, with leg tingles. Cuddy makes House take his case, because patient is nephew of significant donor. House startled to see patient is man who just saved House's life during a battle in a dream from which House just awoke.
- Patient monitored for sleep disorders. Foreman is left alone in sleep lab, wondering where Chameron are. They return without lab coats and slightly mussed hair.
- The patient develops series of disgusting complications with equally disgusting treatments.
- At one critical stage House yells at Cuddy. Chase moves to break up the argument and slips in a pool of urine, leaking out of a catheter bag strapped to House's leg. House's nose starts to bleed and he becomes fatigued. He closes his eyes, only to open them andŠhe's in bed, having awoken from another dream. But his catheter bag did break, leaking all over his bed. But the nose bleed dream puts House on to something.
- House solves the puzzle after examining the patient and discovering his nose had been cauterized as a child. The patient has a genetic disease that's destroying his capillaries. House explains how he arrived at diagnosis, tests are done, treatment described.
House confronts Cuddy that she lied about the PoTW. She claims she just didn't share irrelevant information that the benefactor's nephew also happens to be a guy she dated once over two years ago. House remarks he didn't recognize the PoTW because Cuddy had been sucking up his face on the dance floor on that date. Cuddy confronts House about his obsession with the men she dates, with pretty implicit confirmation that they slept together once. Cuddy tells House it's never going to happen again and tells him to "get over it" and stop fantacizing about her.
- Ep. #17 — no name
- PoTW is Emma, early 40s, five months pregnant, professional photographer has a stroke while photographing Bono for a human rights promotional shoot. The father is a gay sperm donor, Emma's on her own. She snaps candids of the staff throughout the ep.
- Highlights: Chameron have convo about House catching them making out in a closet. Cam thinks House is planning something because he's been quiet about it and thinks House had to know they were there. Chase posits that House might respect their privacy or perhaps Cam wanted House to know they were there and she's irked that he doesn't seem to care. Foreman later figures out something was up with them in the sleep lab from last ep. At one point Chase finds a photo Emma took of Cam. Emma tells him to keep it, as she noticed how he looks at her.
- Cuddy is emotionally involved and often at odds with House over treatment. House calls it a fetus. Cuddy calls it a baby. At height of trauma, either baby has to go or both mom and baby will die. Mom digs in heels. Won't abort.
- Dramatic surgery where womb is removed from body and surgery performed on infant. Fetus's arm reaches up and grabs House's finger. He's transfixed. Emma goes into trauma. House thinks this is it, but Cuddy makes last-ditch effort and saves her. Mom and baby end up OK. House refers to the unborn as a baby. Emma notices. We end with a montage of Emma's photos throughout the ep.
- • January 16, 2007: TV Guide's AskAusiello had this:
- Question: "...please give me some House-Cameron info!" — Ash
Ausiello: "It just so happens that Jennifer Morrison was... at the InStyle party (on the arm of fiancé and costar Jesse Spencer), and, on the topic of Hameron, she said there's something coming up 'in about five or six episodes.' Meanwhile, Spencer shot down rampant spoilers (including one published right here) that Cameron and Chase will be hooking back up in the near future. 'That's a total lie,' Spencer says. 'Who's your source? He's not very reliable.' OK, changing topics, have they set a date? 'We haven't yet,' she says. 'It's really hard because of our schedules. There are [so few] windows of time. We are just trying to figure out where we want to do it.'"
- • January 9, 2007: "OLucy" posted on the Television Without Pity's House Forum information about the "as-yet-unnamed Ep 16":
- It "opens on a Humvee in Baghdad as a group of jubilent Marines are reveling to KC & The Sunshine Band's 'Get Down Tonight.' All the action is seen from one of the marine's POV."
- "The revelry stops when there's a massive explosion, which pins our POV guy's legs under the dash. The team's sergent pulls him free and drags him to safety. Gunfire starts all around them, and the sergent shoves a rifle into the hands of POV guy with orders. We finally get to see that POV guy isŠwha?....House, lying in a ditch in a large pool of blood where his leg should be. His eyes close, and when they openŠ.House is in his office recliner, awakening from a nightmare to see Cuddy there. She has a patient that he has to take, because he's the nephew of a benefactor to whom Cuddy owes a favor. The patient is an ex-Marine who thinks he has Gulf War Syndrome. House opens the patient's file to find... the military I.D. photo of the guy who saved him in his nightmare...."
- "Patient experiences a rash, fatigue, cough, sore throats and joint pain, with leg tingles. The ducklings are skeptical at first, thinking his fatigue and joint pain might be do to over-exertion in working out, as the guy is in excellent physical shape."
- "They monitor him at night for sleep disorders. At one point Foreman is left alone, wondering where Chase and Cameron are. They return without their lab coats and slightly mussed hair, so this is probably the ep where they're rumored to have sex."
- "The patient develops typically disgusting complications with equally disgusting treatments."
- "At one point House is yelling at Cuddy, and Chase moves to break up the argument and slips in a pool of urine, which is coming out of a catheter bag that sprung a leak, strapped to House's leg. The urine is flowing like a river. House's nose starts to bleed and he becomes fatigued. He closes his eyes, only to open them andŠhe's in bed, having awoken from another dream. Damn! But his catheter bag did break, leaking all over his bed. But he's smiling the House Smile of Realization."
- "House solves the puzzle with a clue from the dream. The patient has a genetic disease that's destroying his capillaries."
- "Later, House confronts Cuddy that she lied. She claims she didn't, she just didn't share irrelevant information that the benefactor's nephew also happens to be a guy she went on a date with over two years ago.

- • January 8, 2007: - Jeff Brown sent us a link to a Variety article that said that "Rocker Dave Matthews has signed to appear in an episode of Fox's 'House.'":
- "In the episode, set to air in March, Matthews will play a savant who was hit by a bus when he was 10. The accident affected his mental development but suddenly gave him the ability to play the piano flawlessly despite never having taken a lesson.
"Dr. House (Hugh Laurie) is brought in after the virtuoso begins suffering seizures and the character's father (Kurtwood Smith) must decide whether to cure the impairment -- and lose his son's musical gift.
"The episode marks the directorial debut of 'House' exec producer Katie Jacobs." (plus more)
