Press Release:
THE TEAM TREATS A SLEEPWALKING PATIENT EXPERIENCING UNEXPLAINED BLACKOUTS AND CUDDY DECIDES TO ADOPT A NEWBORN BABY ON “HOUSE” TUESDAY, OCTOBER 28, ON FOX
The team takes on the case of a dreary middle-aged man who has been experiencing unexplained recurring blackouts and time lapses. With possible diagnoses ranging from a stroke to a concussion to toxins from the consumer products he has been testing for work, they soon find that the man, who is raising his 12-year-old daughter on his own, has been experiencing intense sleepwalking spells. As the team tries to find out what he could be doing during his sleep to make himself sick, his condition continues to deteriorate and his daughter also falls gravely ill. Meanwhile, House finds out Cuddy is going to adopt a baby that is due in two weeks. But when Cuddy meets the birth mother in person and notices a strange rash on her arm, Cuddy brings the mother to Princeton-Plainsboro where her condition worsens. Cuddy must take on the case as both a doctor and a potential mother, and she and the team are faced with a heart-wrenching decision that could risk either the birth mother’s or the baby’s life in the “Joy” episode of HOUSE airing Tuesday, Oct. 28 (8:00-9:01 PM ET/PT) on FOX.

What did I say about House MD going fanfiction-esque?
But then I digress . . . (again)
Will Huddy work out? My biggest question in October.
Huddy needs some happiness.
House permanently paired with Cuddy (as sweet as it is) would sour my happiness. (Hilson all the way but only if they cook it up just right).
But failing Wilson someday comeing to his senses and slowly removing Houses’ clothes one marvelous inch at a time and getting a insiders’ feel for the man underneath . . Huddy will do.
Didja’ see the dismay on Houses’ face when he found out Cuddy was adopting?
Sad. Like a kid coming home from summer camp and being told his dog died. Poor Housie.
Wilson oughta’ comfort him. 8^)
Posted this at Birthmarks spoilers by accident. . . .
Next weeks’ ep’ looks like another angsty/romantic romp.
I predict the baby dies or the mom decides to keep it. (And the kiss is heavily tied to Cuddys’ broken up feelings on the matter).
Either way the romance can’t last. When it comes to the primary (and hot), character, that’s just against the rules. That and marriage and/or kids or even a pet Chihuahua! Rats are okay.
Exception to the rule: if the primary is female – for some reason sometimes they’re allowed to marry, get pregnat and bear offspring.
Primary hot male characters are also forbidden to be in any remotely stable relationship for longer that two episodes (three at most. If it passes into a fourth, the love interest must be murdered by bad guys or sicken and die it’s the Law!).
Primary male hotties are also barred from complete sanity.
Over-all, House has to remain a socially isolated, cantankerous jerky but also dripping with desirability genius.
I defy you to name ANY actor other than Laurie who could pull all of that together into such a delightful package of cane-thumping sexiness!?
Now then, if the rumor is true I’m looking most forward to the hostage situation ep’ (my guess is it’ll come down at Christmas time. House MD appears to pretty evenly split Christmasses into happy and angsty ep’s.
Go back and watch them and you’ll see. We’re due for Santa skipping his PPTH stop this year.
What was I saying? Right! – IF Cuddy gets to keep the baby, then she can’t have House too.
Sorry, I don’t make the rules.
