I never thought anybody would be able to figure House out, but it obvious Stacy knows all his tricks, why he asks certain questions, why he does certain things. She even left cookies in her house, because she knew House would send his team members there to see if anything in the house could be making Mark sick. This show reminds me of CSI, because it’s not like all the regular hospital programs that the doctors automatically know what is wrong with a patient. House and his team have to investigate, and go down wrong paths before they get the correct answer.

    House showed that he has some type of emotions in this episode, for once he decided to comfort a person who was crying because their love one might die. Normally he hopes that they don’t cling to him when they decide to cry, or he just stands there looking dumb. It just so happens that he was comforting Stacy, I think I might have seen a little water in his eyes.

    Mark gets very defensive about Stacy and House talking to each other, he thinks that she’s going to leave him because he’s getting worst like she left House. Stacy obviously didn’t learn from the first time she told a doctor to do something against the patients will, she insist that house give Mark a medication that he doesn’t want to take. House agrees to not give him it, because Mark doesn’t want it, normally House would  find a way through making the patient feel bad to get them to take it, Stacy calls him  out on this. House knows that she’s right so he decides to give it to him any way against his will, but Foreman, Chase and Cameron try and stop him, so he jams it into Mark’s leg, then jams another needle to get the urine sample directly from his bladder. Well as always House is correct, he saves Marks life, but I guess he didn’t remember how he felt when Stacy went against want he wanted and told the doctor to go ahead with the surgery on him, that he didn’t want five years ago. 

   These last couple of episodes tied up the loose ends that I had about House’s character, I now see reason for House to act the way he does towards other people. The fact that I didn’t know why House was so rude and harmfully honest to everyone was the challenging part of this season, but it was entertaining that’s why I rate this episode a five. I loved how he was so secretive about his own life but was ready to snoop around everyone’s personal life.

      I know House can be very intimidating at times, but is it possible that he could scare someone into having a stroke? After trying to get away from Wilson and a patient that he was using to keep himself from having to deal with any more patients, he bumps into Harvey, and screams at him for the incident. Harvey is so frightened by House’s reaction that he has a stroke. While Foreman is questioning Harvey,  in his room he has a female visitor that answers and finishes all his sentences for him. It turns out that Harvey has a hard time remembering the names of things.

      House’s still treating Chase like the traitor that he is and I feel he deserves it, I agree with Foreman and Cameron’s first approach to sticking together when Volger was trying to take over the Hospital. The fact that Chase was running to Vogler with every little thing that could be used against House, is the reason why everything got so chaotic in the hospital. It doesn’t help Chase when he decides to withhold information about Harvey’s visitor Annette a dominatrix, it wasn’t at all surprising that Chase knew Annette personally from her line of work. Harvey likes to feel pain it makes him happy, that explains why he seemed happy when Cameron was giving him this painful test. After the doctors run in on Harvey getting strangled by Annette they banned her from the hospital, I felt bad because Harvey didn’t want her to get in trouble and he was embarrassed about his fetish. His own parents because of this have abandon him because of this, and only agree to come to the hospital to sign papers when House lied and told them that he was dead. They were so ashamed of him that they rather let him die before they would have any involvement in his life, in order for House to get what he wants from them he has to go through his usual making them feel bad.

       I found it hilarious when, House while on his clinic duty, had this older female patient who came in complaining of vaginal pain and the cause of her problem was because her partner had started using the “Blue Pill.” She wasn’t very happy with how demanding her partner had become because of the pills, so she asked House to give him a weaker prescription. House says he’s not going to and that she should instead talk to her partner. Well it’s obvious that patients don’t listen and instead she sends her partner to House to still get the pills. The thing about the partner is that he feels the same way the she does about all the sexual activities they’ve been having. That’s not even the crazy part, their bother married but not to each other.

      The date between House and Cameron didn’t go the way I expected, I thought that maybe House and Cameron would of click and dated for a while, because she wasn’t afraid to let him know how she felt. At first House was complementing her like Wilson suggested, acting out of his character. Cameron Calls him on it and he’s response is by making her feel bad, by letting her know that she’s the type of people who thinks she can fix other helpless people and that is why she was previously married to a man who was dying of cancer.

       This episode was exciting because I was anticipating the big date with Cameron and House, so I rate this episode a three. Well now that their date ended on a bad note I wonder how the tension between them is going to play out in the rest of the season.

  The hospital has a bunch of people coming in from the campus pool center with symptoms of meningitis, House and the rest of the team are stuck on clinic duty, because the hospital has a shortage of nurses, I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that the hospital lost a whole bunch of money, due to Dr. House’s rude attitude? One of House’s patients a twelve-year-old girl from the swim team, symptoms are not similar to that of meningitis and he can’t figure out what it could be. Since the hospital is so crowded Cuddy at first refuses to let him off of clinic duty, but she finally gives in. while the team is running through their usual routine of possible symptoms, House is giving Chase a hard time. Now that Vogler’s no longer around to protect Chase, I guess House has decided to make Chase pay for how he acted while Vogler was still in the hospital. Foreman run a series of test on this patient, which he has to do in outrageous locations throughout the hospital, because it’s so packed. 

  Well it turns out that Cameron really wants something from House before she decides to come back to work, and that is a serious date with him. I thought that was so bold of her, to ask House to take her out on a date, especially the fact that it’s House; surprisingly he says yes.

  What was causing this twelve-year-old patient to sick was the fact that she was pregnant. She’s pregnant and she’s twelve years old, she was acting older than her age when the doctors where running the test on her I didn’t think she thought she was so old that she should be participating in sexual activities. House confronts her as usual through making her feel ten times worst, and she begs him not to tell her parents. House states that because of the laws of the state, that he’s not allowed to say anything to her parents, and he doesn’t, even though her parents were pressuring him to tell them what was wrong with their twelve-year-old daughter. She has to terminate the pregnancy, which was sad but she later found the courage and told her parents the truth.

  I like the that Vogler has left the hospital and everything is getting back to normal, patients are getting saved instead of sent home, and House is back to getting his own way from Cuddy. This is why I rate this episode a four just because everything is back to normal Chase is being treated the way he deserves for trying to betray his team members and especially House. Cameron might be coming back and also going on a date with House, I wonder how the rest of the doctors are going to feel about this agreement between them.

 

   Vogler’s need for authority is too demanding, so much so that he calls and stops one of Dr. House’s patients surgery from happening, which may or may not be the reason why she died later on in the episode. When House realizes this, he and Vogler have this huge screaming discussion in the middle of the hospital lobby where Volger threatens House with the fact that he is next to get fired. This patient is pregnant and has been diagnosed with a fatal disease, cancer. She doesn’t want to have the surgery because she doesn’t want her baby to be born premature even though her husband insisted that she have the surgery. So House like always had to find a way to convince her through making her feel bad. His hard work didn’t pay off because Vogler cancelled the surgery.

   Another patient, a baby named Olive is under weight and House first assumption is that she’s not being feed properly, but he doesn’t let Cuddy know this which is against the rules. Cuddy’s trying to look after House so Vogler can’t come with any more reason to fire him, so she calls social services on the parents. It turned out later that Olive was sicker than they originally thought and it wasn’t because of the parents either.

   I liked this episode because Cuddy finally decided to stand up for what’s right to Vogler, because he felt since he was donating money to the hospital that everything should go the way he wanted it to go. He was waving his donating around and threaten to take it away every time he wanted something done, and it would only be a matter of time before he would end up firing everybody in the hospital. This is why I rated this episode a five, even though it was exciting to watch Dr. House and Vogler’s attitudes clash he was starting to cause too much drama. He wanted one thing then the next minute another, there wasn’t any point to them either just the need for authority.

   Cameron is correct House breaks a lot of rules but it’s only in the interest of helping other people, saving lives; that is his job as a doctor. He takes risk and most of the time they work out. Vogler hanging around in the Hospital is doing more harm than good, he sent patients home who weren’t ready to be sent home.

   Finally after Cuddy stands up to Vogler, so does everyone else and he’s now out of the hospital along with his donation. I rate this episode a five because there was so much drama going on that it held my interest, but it’s sad that Cameron quit. I hope now that Vogler gone she will come back, because the awkward tension between her and Dr. House is amusing to watch.

   A patient is brought to the hospital after experiencing certain symptoms, he’s not any ordinary person his an African-American politic running for president. The patient refuses to believe that he has AIDS, so as usual House has to find a rude way to convince him to take the medication. House is always throwing out racial comments, he tells the African-American patient that he’s not going to win the race, because “the White House is not named after its paint job”. This patient is refusing the treatment, because he doesn’t want his supporters to think bad of him, he would rather go through painful test than accept the fact that he might have AIDS.

   After House has a conversation with this patient he begins to doubt his own theory that all patients lie, he runs another test and it comes out negative for AIDS. So maybe House has been incorrect all this time, assuming that all patients are liars, this would have been true if it didn’t turn out that what was killing this patient was the fact that he lied about what caused a scar on his tongue. He use to have seizures as a child and the medication he use to take is what’s causing him to be sick.

   Throughout this episode the sexual tension between House and Cameron is stressed a lot, he confronts her and asks why does she like him. Also House Confronts Dr. Chase about why he’s going to Vogler and Cuddy with every little piece of information, surprisingly all Chase does is ignore him; because he knows he can’t get fired.

   House did in fact do the speech for Vogler but he made it a joke, He embarrassed Vogler, he really just acted just like himself he didn’t sell himself short. Volger looked like he was going to explode during the speech. I felt it was good for him, because he’s doesn’t realize that he’s fighting for authority against the wrong person. (House)

   I liked this episode so I rate it a five, I found it to be amusing how House made a fool of Vogler during his speech. Cameron out of the other team members is actually the nicest like she can’t do any thing wrong. So at the end of the episode she goes to House and tells him that he doesn’t have to worry about firing anyone because shes just going to quit.

  

        Wow the suspense is killing me, House is trying to delay the fact that he has to get rid of one of his team members. I really just want to fast forward through the whole episode to find out what ends up really happening. I love how he just threw the fact that he has to get rid of one of the team members into his conversation with them, which left them speechless. And once again Dr. Cameron is there to defend him, saying that it’s not House it’s Vogler who wants to get rid of one of them. While Dr. Cameron and Dr. Foreman suggest that they all work together, so it’s harder for Dr. House to choose Chase is reluctant.

       I’m happy that Dr. Foreman also feels that Dr. Chase will be the one that is fired. Even though Chase is always the Doctor to connect with the patients he sometimes can be a total jerk. Like in this episode when Chase tries to get Jessica to get on the scale, instead of making her feel comfortable like Dr. Foreman did, he was kind of making her feel worst. Dr. Chase is so ready to throw any of his team members under the bus, He knows that he might be the one that gets fired. His actions against his team members are only more evidence to prove that he probably did throw House under the bus to Vogler. I know House more than anyone else notices this.

      They addressed an important real issue with society today in this episode what people actually see as beauty, if it’s either internal or external. Chase says that society would rather see skinny people, even though this might be true it’s the fact that Chase agrees with this that’s upsetting.

      There’s this power struggle going on between House and Vogler. When House comes up with the suggestion to keep everyone and just decrease every ones pay as if they did let someone go, Vogler refuses and says that he wants Dr. House to do what he ask, it’s not a negotiation. Even when House chooses Chase, Vogler tells him to choose someone else. Vogler is really starting to get under my skin his demand for authority is getting annoying.

    The as usual well really House finally finds the correct diagnosis for Jessica, and surprisingly it has nothing to do with he weight, well it actually causes the weight problem.

      This episode was exciting I rate it a four, because I was so anxious while watching to learn what was going to happened and who was going to get fired. The title of this episode had alot to do with it’s content Jessica’s weight was seen to be the cause of her illness and it turns out that it wasn’t.

 

Dr. Cameron’s suggestion on a case even though sometimes they turn out to be the correct resolution in the first place are always being dismissed or over looked. Dr. House in previous episodes has told her that she has to be more aggressive. A successful workaholic woman has been sent to the hospital because she is experiencing sharp pain in her thigh. While the doctors are going through their usual routine of possible diagnosis, Dr. House notices that Dr. Cameron is kind of manipulating the other doctors into agreeing with her. He knows that she got these techniques from a book and he calls he out on it. She confronts hm later saying that everyone dismisses what she has to say because she’s pretty and smart, etc. Then they share some type of awkward sexual tension when Dr. House reassured her that everyone likes her, so she ask if he likes her and Dr. House just ruins the moment with a “no.” I just couldn’t stop laughing at this scene because she just stood there, looking. Well I thought that scene was as awkward as any sexual tension scene could possibly get with Dr. House involved. 

It turns out the woman might need a Heart transplant, or she will die, but Dr. House learns that the woman’s condition is self-inflicted. She makes herself vomit, cut herself the whole nine yards of a patients with personal issues. Of course when House learns something new he has to make the patient cry, suffer, or make great decisions for their own lives. He gets the lady to finally through tears admit that she wants to live and that she wont continue to harm herself in order for him to plead her case so she is able to get a new heart. If Dr. House does this he is at risk of losing his license because patients who harm themselves are not eligible to get transplants. 

Dr. House disregards this rule and still goes through with it. Dr,. Chase made a terrible mistake while taking a test on this woman and this mistake could have cost this woman her life. Dr. Chase is in fear of losing his job so he starts to question, how is it that Dr. House knew the patient needed a heart transplant before the results came back; So he goes searching the patients room to discover a medicine bottle in her purse that proves she has been harming herself. Some how this same medicine bottle ends up in Vogler possession and her threatens to fire House, But House knows that he has Wilson and Cuddy on his side so he instead lets Vogler know that his threat isn’t worth worrying over.

I liked this episode so I rate this episode a four, because it was great to see for a change some one come in and try and control House only to find that House just really never backs down no matter whose in the room or hospital.

In this episode a twelve-year old boy named, Gabriel gets sick after hanging out in an abandon house with friends, he believes he’s been cursed to died after a game reads his future. Gabriel’s father donates a lot of money to the hospital and because of this he feels that his demands should be met. While the team is trying to diagnose what could be making him sick, Dr. Chase’s father shows up to the hospital, but When Chase sees him, Dr. House notices that Chase just walks straight by him. Dr. Chase’s father is also a doctor so, Dr. House purposely asks for his assistance in trying to figure out what could be making Gabriel sick. Chase doesn’t even bother to ask his father why he has come so far to see him. So of course this grows more concern to Dr. House

While the teams goes through their usual routine of possible diagnosis that will make Gabriel worst before he gets better, House is working hard on trying to figure out what’s causing the strain on Dr. Chase and his father’s relationship. It’s funny how Dr. House has no personal life, no respect for any one’s feelings, basically he doesn’t even like anyone; but he’s always trying to put the puzzle together in someone else’s life. He even goes through his co-worker’s personal files to find out information on them. He has no respect for their privacy, so much so he goes and questions Chase’s father. He learns that he has lung cancer, with only 3-months to live; but he hasn’t told Chase this.

Chase finally confronts his father and this is when I realize why Chase is always the one to connect more on a personal level with some of the patients. Especially the ones who have done some negative things in their life time. Chase’s father walked out on him and his mother when Chase was only fifteen years old. His mother who he wa left to look after on his own was an alcoholic who died.

Dr. House and the team as usual finally figure out the correct diagnosis for what is causing Gabriel to be ill, and it’s due to some trip Gabriel’s father took and lied about. After Gabriel has learned this he then says to Dr. Chase that he hates his father, so this is where Chase comes in and says ”you’re not suppose to hate your father, he’s your father.” After saying this he realizes what has been going on between him and his father. So, of course Chase makes it just in time before his father gets into the cab to go back home, and gives his father a hug.

I rate this episode a three, because it really didn’t hold my attention; I was really more interested in learning about Dr. Chase’s background more than anything else.
