What Do You Think of Last Night’s House Episode?

I never watch TV shows right when they air. It’s one of the things that happen when I want to watch several that air at the same time. (I love my TiVo.) So when I got to finally watch last night’s House episode, I got to thinking about it in a big way. Then I started to wonder what all of you thought about it.

First of all, it’s interesting that one of the unusual illnesses I talked about recently was discussed as one of the possible diagnoses for the POTW. For a while, they thought he had alien hand syndrome.

We were told that it would be the most shocking House episode ever. Did it live up to that? I’d say that it was a strong second to the episode where Kutner died, but that it did definitely come as a surprise. (If you haven’t watched it yet…you should come back to read the rest of this post after you watch it. This is no surprise you want to be spoiled.)

First of all, I was wondering last week why the love scene between House & Cuddy was so extremely short. Now it seems to make more sense. But now I’m sad that it wasn’t real. Huddy fans, what are your thoughts on this?

I was really enjoying the happiness that House showed when he woke up and found Cuddy’s lipstick by the bathroom sink. And the way he was so happy all day long at the hospital was cute too. But I knew something bad was going to happen next when he announced to the whole hospital about their interlude.

It was a big surprise to me that House saw Kutner in the room…I should have noticed his name in the press release, but I didn’t. But somehow, I think that’s what David Shore wanted…

We now know why they did the “top secret” filming at the closed mental hospital in New Jersey. It had to be for the scene with Wilson dropping off House. Now I wonder what next season will bring us. Will episodes take place with House as a patient…helping to diagnose patients over the phone?

The look on Cuddy’s face when she realized that House was not well was very touching. And the look on House’s face as he walked into the hospital and looked back at Wilson was heart-breaking. It’s touching to know that even a misanthrope like House has people who care about him. Wilson clearly does, and it was very evident in the last few scenes.

So, fellow House fans, what are your thoughts about the episode? Did it shock you the way it did me? We had suspected that House would be committed, but having so much of what we had seen turn out to be his hallucination was really surprising. The acting was fantastic. How do you think this will play out next season?

And let’s not forget that Cameron & Chase got married!! The thing that kept running through my mind during the wedding scene was that it must have been quite strange for Jennifer Morrison & Jesse Spencer to film that scene. They once were actually engaged and I think she broke his heart when she broke it off.

Yes, we know that in a joking interview, Jesse said that he would leave the show if Chase & Cameron ever got married, but we now know he’s going to be part of the show all next season and the characters are now married, so that was false. I’m wondering if he knew that was where the characters would go when he made the statement. The House writers love to keep the cast in the dark about what will happen in the show next.

Are you happy that Cameron & Chase finally got married? Does this put the Hameron question to rest, finally? How will it affect their working together in the hospital?

And how do you think the developments in the last few episodes will impact House’s relationship with Cuddy. Surely, she knows that he loves her. What do you see happening with that?

And another thing caught me off guard. House analyzed the coffee and said that it was proof that she cares about him. Did that really happen? Was it her coffee, or was it Wilson’s? She was talking to Wilson when House came in. So if she was having amorous feelings, which one of them was the object of the feelings? Hmmm…

Obviously, this episode makes us question everything we thought we knew about the characters. I really want to know what your thoughts are. Let me know.
