HOU-208

She soon realizes he is holding something back.

OK! Previous episode to this one was very 'meh' for me. Nonetheless i went into this episode with my usual expections, to be wowed and left wanting for me. Badda-bing badda-boom! This episode did it! OK. So the 6 MONTHS LATER in white font plastered onto a black screen made me smile :) because i love these type of episodes from ANY show and House was about to produce one. The plot was pretty darn good with Chase doing the usuals, until it becomes 'complicated' and to put it lightly, Chase screws up. The repercussions are presented well. With Stacey weaving her magic along with the constant flashbacks! I loved how it led up nicely to the ending. And yes the ending did take me by suprise! No not Chase being suspended for a week, but who became House's new boss!
I know OMIGAWSH House having a boss (bar Cuddy)? Badda-bing badda-boom! 4MAN comes in outta nowhere and just takes over the reins! Yes ma'm this episode was sweet!
Fantastic story telling... hide show
I thought this episode, a flashback or an old case, was absolutely brilliant, and one of my favourite episodes of all time.
Not only did we get further development between House and Stacy, but we also got the first episode in a while where Chase was the central character; arguably since "Cursed". The writers did an extraordinary job of storytelling whilst making it realistic as well. Because of this unique, one of piece of storytelling (it would be indeed very hard to repeat this, as the audience would find it repetitive and predictable), the story and patient plotline had many twists and turns, right up to the ending, where not only do we realise why Chase screwed up, but also that Foreman will be House's supervisor for the next month! A perfect, seemingly unnoticeable transaction from giving Chase more viewing time to Foreman. It will be interesting to see how he and House will interact over the next few episodes. Overall, this was one of my favourite episodes, and one that I can watch over and over again- like I do :)
One of the best episodes of House, M.D. hide show
I love the format of this episode. A story that was 6 months in the past & they're telling the story 6 months in the present, I like Stacy in this episode how she's on everyone's back about the lawsuit, it's weird because you don't know the whole story until you saw the whole episode. Chase makes a mistake but it doesn't stop there, the steps it takes to reveal the other mistakes are just fabulous. I also like how Stacy figures out about him rummaging through her records, that really killed the buzz. Also another thing that makes you intrigued is in which Foreman is now in charge of House, that's a bit crazy & Chase is suspended. A perfect format to a perfect episode!
I love this episode! It is nice to have the spotlight on one of the other main characters instead of always House. Chase's character develops which makes watching the show more interesting. I like the episodes where they recap what happened already. Good! hide show
These episodes get more interesting everytime I watch them. I already saw season 3 then I wanted to watch them from the beginning. So I saw season 1 but I like this season a lot better. House shares his spotlight with the other cast members which gives a different view on the whole plot. Stacy's character develops more into her own. She still likes House and House knows she does. I love Wilson's line at the end because it shows the humor side of the show.
Dr. Wilson: Guess I'm his best friend now. (pointing to Foreman.) I love it!
This episode was definitely the best of the season so far, and one of the best episodes in general. hide show
There were so many strong sides to this episode that I'm not sure to begin, and I can't think of a single negative aspect. I love the way they retell what happened through flashbacks, and add moments of comedy here and there along the way by altering the flashbacks (like removing the Vicodin). It's also a clever way of giving different versions of what happened.
The plotline itself was really good, focusing on a dead patient and the roles Chase and House played in the events. It felt like the first step to get these two characters to clash and fight out the tension that's been there since Chase ratted on House last season. Their bickering has been getting tiresome, so finally I hope we'll get to see some resolving of the situation. And we also got to see that House still respects Chase and has as much fatherly concern for him as he is able to muster. In his own weird way he supports Chase and sympathises with him regarding his dad.
The episode also gave a quick but believable fix to the situation that arose with Stacy last episode. Instead of several episodes of her being angry with him they began to resolve it in this one, which is a relief.
I have several other thoughts about this episode, but I'm unable to jot them down at the moment. Really, really great episode though! A must-see.
