House Recap

Wow. I don't even know what to say, but this week's season finale of House is gut-wrenching, suspenseful, and dare I say, pretty epic. Even now, I'm still trying to wrap my head around all that happened.

After a collapse occurs at a construction site, House and team are on the scene to remove victims. House discovers Hannah, a woman whose leg is trapped underneath concrete, and she quickly becomes his patient as they wait for rescue team members to lift her out. Only thing is, House is somewhat distracted during the relief effort because Cuddy has big news. I can't speak much further without inundating you with spoilers, so read more

With a little help from the return of House's therapist Dr. Nolan (Andre Braugher), this week's episode gives us a glimpse inside the man's psyche. As you might expect, he's an interesting, albeit complicated study.

The show itself is a little strange, too, constantly flipping between House's conversations with Nolan and the usual run of interactions with patients, Wilson, and the like. It almost feels like a play, but by the end, we dig down deep to what it is that really is bothering House lately. Want to know what it is? Just read more

Another week, another House episode that tries to push the sexual envelope. This time, a patient's past sexual experimentation isn't known to his fiancee (guest star Eva Amurri) until his spiraling health forces an old male partner out of the woodwork. My, oh, my.

As for House, he's trying to make it even harder for Taub to cheat on his wife. I say hooray for that, as you know how ticked I was after last week.

This episode raises several questions regarding fidelity and orientation, but it also gives us a peek at what's to come for the doctor (outlook is not so good). Let's get into it when you read more

Relationships go topsy-turvy on this week's House — but what do you expect when the show tackles a touchy subject like open marriage? The episode centers on a female patient who sleeps with men outside of her husband and their mutual trust (or lack thereof). In fact, trust continues to echo throughout the episode as Wilson struggles with Sam, and Taub and his wife, Rachel, continue on their rocky recovery following his infidelity.

Taub, by the way, deserves a firm talking to. But before I unleash my fury over his actions, let's start in on the rest of the episode. Spoilers ahead when you read more

Oh, it's on. On this week's House there are a couple battles raging — one is the fictional role-play kind between knights and the other, a real-life war brewing between Wilson's ex-wife turned girlfriend Sam and his better half, House. Yes, Wilson and Sam appear to be hitting it off the second time around, but House is ready to bring the woman down, even if it means walking around naked and hiring a transvestite prostitute.

It's not exactly fair play, but how often does House take the high road? I'll be curious to see how the Sam and House faceoff turns out, but before we do, let's recap some of the big points from this episode when you read more

Did this week's House feel a little different to you? Hugh Laurie stepped behind the camera to direct, but I also liked some of the unexpected character pairings that the writers gave us.

When a baby goes missing, Princeton-Plainsboro goes on lockdown. That means Wilson and Thirteen are forced together, Foreman and Taub get stuck in the records area, House ends up in a room with a dying patient, and Chase, well, he finds a surprising companion for the next few hours, too. I couldn't have cared less about the storyline, because it's the little things we learn about each of the doctors that make this episode so interesting. Ready to recap?

This week on House, we deal with issues of trust in relationships, along with a head-scratcher of a medical case. My verdict: it makes for one really solid episode.

A high school senior is brought into Princeton-Plainsboro after she stops breathing and regurgitates liquid during a field trip. Not a pretty picture, but then again, neither is her bloody heart surgery (ick). As the docs race the clock to find the source, all scientific means turn up short, and they have to resort to newfangled methods.

On the other end of things, Taub is going through some trouble with the missus after she complains that they don't do enough together. He spends the rest of the episode making it up to her — but by the end we're left wondering if his intentions are pure.

But enough of the chitchat, let's talk questions. Just read more

After a month-long hiatus for House (and a Cuddy-centric episode), the Princeton-Plainsboro team returns this week to shed light on another mysterious case. I waited in anticipation to see what they'd cook up after time off, but dare I say, I'm somewhat let down. Not that the night didn't have storyline gems, but the patient plot of an over-sharing blogger (Laura Prepon) feels like the show is trying too hard to tap into the 21st century. See how millennial we are? OK, to cut the writers some slack, I do love the battle between Wilson and House, and there is one particularly interesting reveal. It almost seems like we're getting hints about where the characters are headed in coming episodes. Ready to go over some of the night's important questions? Let's get down to it when you read more

"Remorse" couldn't have been a more appropriate title for this week's House. Just when you think the doc's therapy didn't have any effect on his cold heart, his conscience pops up in the form of a former med school classmate. But while House experiences pangs of guilt, his new patient Valerie can't feel the slightest tinge of, well, anything. Did I mention she's psycho?

The medical case gave the writers a chance to have some fun as Valerie flips in and out of her faux "good girl" routine, but more so, I'm enjoying the shift that we're seeing in House as he learns from his mistakes and tries to make amends (albeit at a snail's pace). A few questions came to mind as I was watching, so I'm curious to hear your take! Let's break 'em all down and dissect some of the episode's highlights when you read more

House is back (thank goodness!) and delivered an episode that was definitely worth the long Winter break. This week sees the beginnings of House and Wilson's domesticity and, yes, addresses their similarities to an old gay couple (to quote House, "We're two tigers away from Vegas" ha!). The whole scenario had me cracking up, but it was the patient that kept me guessing. Best of all: there isn't a single inkling of sexual tension between House and Cuddy for once. I needed a breather from that storyline, didn't you?

I hope that the writers keep up the good work, but for now, let's examine everything that happened (and the questions it raised in my mind) when you read more
