I don’t understand the problem with Cuddy saying she’s 38. Why, I’ve been 29 now for many years!

Just kidding! Thanks so much for the insight!

I just realized I’ve mistakenly wirtten “late thirties” for House when it should have been “late fourties”, sorry for that mistake!

LOVED! LOVED! LOVED! THANK YOU, DORIS EGAN!!! All the House/Wilson scenes were delightful. I especially liked the scene between House and Chase. Chase realized that House was asking for the patient and not the puzzle.
POTW/Cuddy/House scene…..PRICELESS!!!

Am I really the only one noticing how weird it is that Cuddy is 38? Does anyone realize how unrealistic it is that she was 38 already three seasons ago? And even more unrealistic that she would have been 33 in season 1, where she was dean of medicine already? It would also mean that Cameron – who was in her late twenties in season 1 (remember Jennifer said Cameron graduated from college when she graduated from Junior High) – is only about 5 years younger than Cuddy. So what was the big deal when Cameron was supposed to take over as dean, Cuddy was the same age. And how comes that a guy in his late thirties (in No reason we see that House’s birthdate is the same as Hugh’s, so he’s 49) went to med school with someone at the age of 38.
It’s sad the producers felt the need to make Cuddy younger. LE looks great for her age, and it would have been a great example for successful working woman (and moms, after all she is one now) over 40.
On the positive side:
The case was amazing, so old school, it finally felt like in the first three seasons. I loved the scene with House and Chase, it’s interesting how their interaction as shifted towards being equals than boss and subordinate. And all the H/W interaction was amazing. But I really missed Cameron, she’s my favorite character, at least one or two scenes with her would have made the episode perfect.

Finally, another episode by our (and by ‘our’, I mean the House/Wilson shippers’) best friend Doris Egan! This epsiode was lovely, and I really loved seeing House taking care of Wilson for once. Something that I absolutely adored that some people probably didn’t notice is that in the waiting room at NYM, House brought Wilson coffee. Taking care of him…

By far, that was the sweetest thing House has ever done for Cuddy! And Cuddy liked it!

Wonderful!

Loved, loved, loved this ep. FInally the way the show used to be before this season. House/Wilson was great & the Cuddy scene was hysterical.

I hope the rest of the season is like this.

I really liked this episode. Watching Wilson and House interact was great. The short scene with Dr. Chase and House was really good as well, it interesting to see how things have shifted between the two of them. I hope this was just a taste of what’s to come.
