Episode 4x14 = "Pour l'amour du soap"(r+c)

j'ai adoré le kidnapping! et en plus ça tombe un jour d'inspection pour Cuddy qui voudrait que House fasse profile bas!!!
j'adore quand elle dit ne pas le connaitre quand il arrive en limousine et elle lui colle l'ancienne team aux basques (sauf Chase qui refuse et qu'on ne voit plus... effectivement il disparait peu à peu ça confirme les dires de Shore)
enfin LA proposition que tout le monde attendait: House propose à Cameron de la reprendre et de virer 13 mais elle refuse: elle regrette le job mais pas House
le cas est bien sympa avec House qui connait son feuilleton par coeur et qui l'enregistre en plus!!! avec des moments bien cools: kidnapping, piqure , quand il essaie de le faire bander
et tout le problème de choix de matelas de Wilson!!! mouarf le "water bed"

bref un bon moment

aux Hameron et aux Huddy... C'est cool... Ça relance mon côté Hameron, mais Huddy tient bon

Episode Recap: Living the Dream

Tonight's episode didn't follow the normal House format where Patient X mysteriously falls ill and is brought into Princeton-Plainsboro under House's care. Instead, the featured patient arrived by town car as opposed to an ambulance – and House was the chauffeur! Turns out the good doc was worried his favorite daytime soap star, Evan Greer (guest star Jason Lewis, better known as SATC's Smith to millions of women across the world), had been suffering from a brain tumor and took it upon himself to kidnap the celeb to run some tests. How he was able to determine anything based on this guy's acting is beyond us, but this is House we're talking about here, is it not?

Whatever you do, don't assume House went out of his way to save a man's life. Oh no, because if that were the case, that would have involved some form of caring. All he was concerned about was if Evan were to die, then so would his favorite actor Broc — and he just couldn't have that. Evan agrees to one vision test, but when everything looked fine and he refused an MRI, House took matters into his own hands yet again and drugged the actor to run the exam.

Normally House's antics do nothing more than get the staff bickering and Cuddy clip-clopping down hallways at light speed, but this week the pressure was on because an inspector had arrived to the hospital for its annual review. Needless to say, this guy wasn't the type to let so much as a faulty water fountain slip by his radar, let alone House's insane methods of practice. Cuddy places his team in charge of playing damage control to keep House out of trouble, and Cameron in charged with the task of getting House's back-logged patient charts situated.

As always, House was right about an ailing Evan, which became clear after his feet suddenly went numb. Good thing, because House was chomping at the bit to hit up the actor's set and dressing room for any clues into the mystery as well as sitting his team down for a soap viewing party for "diagnostic purposes." His theory that B-6 toxicity due to one too many sunflower seeds (mental note: stick to almonds) was to be blamed proved false after porn put the patient into cardiac arrest.

Meanwhile, on the Wilson-Amber front (or Wilber, if you will), the two were out shopping for a decent mattress and Amber put Wilson to the ultimate relationship test — all unbeknownst to him, of course. His task: to purchase either the mattress he wanted, or the one she wanted. Either way, her poverty sob story to haggle the salesman down $500 was impressive none the less.

Back at the hospital, House is ready to break every rule in the book (including eating stolen food in the morgue), but actually got Cuddy to agree to give him the big-screen plasma TV from the lounge in order to get House to play nice with the uber-anal inspector.

Once Cameron finished her assigned paperwork mission, she and House shared a semi-heartfelt moment where she admitted to missing her old job, the puzzling cases and all that other good stuff — but she makes it crystal clear that one thing she doesn't miss is House. Ouch!

To continue on with the mattress drama, Amber came home to find that Wilson had purchased the mattress she originally wanted and was pretty pissed off Wilson wussed out. Apparently, she didn't want him to buy what she wanted and ultimately resent her like with all his exes. So, Wilson not only got the bed he wanted, but got the waterbed he had always wanted. Of course, he hated it and back to the store it went. Honestly, her "testing Wilson with wasn't exactly a positive move either. God forbid they try communicating their concerns prior to calling the moving truck three times.

As for the patient, Grave's disease was out of the running and House was 99.9 percent sure Evan was allergic to chrysanthemums. He was so sure that he was willing to risk the patients' life by giving him steroids (not out of the norm), but also risk his job as well as Cuddy's because if the inspector got wind of this lack of protocol, it'd be all over for both of them (not to mention the hospital's credibility). In a slight turn of events, all tests came out negative for floral allergies, meaning House was wrong. I was concerned bad things were about to happen for a split second, but by some miracle House's decision was right, even if it was for the wrong reasons. The steroids worked because Evan did have an allergy, but not to flowers. Instead, it was tonic water. Even though the patient lived and was treated, the hospital was still fined $200K for House's reckless actions.

I wasn't exactly blown away by this episode, but it did have its moments. Cameron's role tonight felt more fitting than usual, and it was refreshing to see her tossing out diagnostic theories for the nostalgia factor. Amber and Wilson didn't do it for me because it's usually the interaction between House and C.B. that really make for good television. These two just don't seem believable as a couple to me, so these lover's quarrels are a bit hard to swallow. The whole side story with the actor not being satisfied in his job and chatting with everyone about it started to annoy me a bit. I feel it was as though they were overemphasizing that that Cameron isn't happy (nor some other staff members). I think we're bright enough to pick that up on our own without it being crammed down our throats. And lastly, Cuddy. How she lets him run the show, even the one time she asks him to behave, is beyond me. She must really be more in love with him than I thought!
