Episode 5.09: Last Resort
Air Date: November 25, 2008

Here’s the review of all the spoilers for tonight’s episode of House, Last Resort. I even have the first three minutes for you to enjoy now:

Spoiler: HOUSE executive producer Katie Jacobs directs an all-new extended episode, guest-starring recent Emmy Award winner Zeljko Ivanek. A man (guest star Ivanek) willing to kill – or die – for a diagnosis takes House, Thirteen (Olivia Wilde) and several patients from the hospital waiting room hostage in Cuddy’s office. With one person shot, other patients needing medical attention, Thirteen being used as a guinea pig and the SWAT team closing in, House is determined to end the standoff the only way he knows how: by coming up with the right diagnosis.

Press Release:
HOUSE AND THIRTEEN ARE TAKEN HOSTAGE BY A MAN WILLING TO KILL FOR A DIAGNOSIS ON “HOUSE” TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 25, ON FOX

Zeljko Ivanek (“Damages”) Guest-Stars

Episode Directed by HOUSE Executive Producer Katie Jacobs

A gun-wielding man from the waiting room at the Princeton-Plainsboro clinic takes House, Thirteen and several patients from the waiting room hostage in Cuddy’s office. The man claims to be sick with a long undiagnosed illness and demands medical attention from the best doctor in the hospital, threatening to kill any hostages necessary along the way. With a room full of already sick patients, House must use them as guinea pigs to assure the hostage-taker that the medications he is administering to him are legitimate. As Cuddy and the rest of House’s team communicate with House over the phone to run tests and offer possible diagnoses, they ponder the possibility that the hostage-taker has nothing physically wrong with him and that everyone in Cuddy’s office could wind up dead. With one hostage already shot, Thirteen wagers her own already diminished health as she simultaneously receives the experimental treatments the hostage is receiving. Her life lies in danger as House’s own determination to diagnose the hostage-taker threatens to thwart the SWAT team’s plan to put an end to the standoff in the “Last Resort” episode of HOUSE airing Tuesday, Nov. 25 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/ PT) on FOX.

My first reaction is that he looks so incredibly happy these days. They must be very good for each other. I’m happy for them.

Here are some photos of Jennifer Morrison at the event benefiting the Art of Elysium on November 9. I love the dress! But I think she went a little crazy with the curling iron because the curls kept getting in her face. (Haven’t we all had that experience?)

I didn’t spot her in the trailer, but with the scenes flashing so fast, I may have missed her. (Please let me know if you see Jennifer in the clip.) The movie won’t open in theaters until May of 2009, but it looks like a must-see!

Michael Ausiello of EW, gives us a couple of quick spoilers for this season’s House. If you like spoilers, be sure to click on “Read More” for the scoop.

Question: Now, Ausiello, you know you can’t use words like “light fondling” in regards to House and Cuddy and not provide some details. That is just torturing us! — Megan
Ausiello: I was trying to be tasteful about it. My mistake. House grabs a handful of Cuddy’s left breast on Dec. 2. Better?

Question: Do you have any scoopage on the upcoming hostage episode on House? — Suzanne
Ausiello: Not really, but here’s something else about the aforementioned Dec. 2 episode that’s pretty momentous: For the first time, Thirteen will refer to herself by her real name, Remy.

That being said, I go back and forth between thinking it looks like him and that it doesn’t. What do you think? Do you think it looks like him?
