POTW is an active young woman who is admitted to PPTH after spewing blood. She's an only child with loving parents. Of course, she's not as interesting or as funny as House and Wilson dosing each other or Wilson on speed or Wilson and the breast exam patient. Every House/Wilson scene was made of gold as well as the Wilson scene. The epsiode scored a 10 just on the basis of the House/Wilson and Wilson scenes.

What I didn't like and didn't care about was Foreman's constant moan and groan about becoming House. I don't like Foreman - pure and simple. I don't care if he stays or goes. Technically he's a good actor but he has neither the looks or the presence to make me want to watch him. I liked the closing scene with Honey not because I think House should be dating a woman half his age (makes my pervometer ding loudly) but I liked the idea of seeing House interacting with a woman he pursued. I like Cuddy but what I didn't like was the way she exited her scene with House. She was intentionally shaking her narrow booty in her way too tight skirt. I think LE got the memo that there's gonna be lots of S4 Huddy. All I can say is thank God for TiVo.

House is okay with killing him AFTER he finds out whether the paitent is terminal. Seems to make sense. After all House has killed terminal patients before as we learn from his one of two very brief conversations with Wilson. But House doesn't explore the patient's wishes privately - with the patient. House brings his team into the dialogue and then it's downhill from there. The real storyline is Cameron's flip-flopping and annoying and whiny self-righteousness. Very, very old. Of course most of the episode with close-ups of Cameron shocked, Cameron annoyed, Cameron whiny, Cameron judging, Cameron confronting, etc. We see very little of how Foreman and Chase are struggling with same issues. It would have been nice for House to sit with patient as he's done in the past and sort through what it is they really want. What we got instead was Cameron taking a skin sample in the vicious way possible, forgetting once again that people do not have to follow her moral code to be treated with dignity and compassion. In the end when Cameron felt morally justified she granted his wish for assisted suicide. Cameron's metamorphosis this season has esentially robbed the other characters of what made them interesting to watch. For the past two seasons, Foreman has always challenged House on the merits of a particular diagnosis. Now we have Foreman being petty, insensitive, and silent - probably because Cameron got most of his lines. There's one thing that the writers need to work on and that is gratutious racism - House to Foreman "Foreman you need to steal one of these (large screen TV)." I can just see it now some well-intentioned white doctor in the real world thinks it would be funny to say something to a black colleague." We have Chase supporting House and House treating him like a idiot. While Cameron was being outfitted with her new attitude, what happened to Chase. He was not only silent but pretty much absent. I'd like to see more of him and Foreman. Also, the complete destruction of the House/Wilson friendship has really made the show for me much less interesting and funny.

The only light moment in the show was the appearance of the Ali, whom House referred to as Cameron's protege. She made a really bad episode tolerable.

Finally, I wanted to mention a couple of things that seemd totally unbelievable to me. Cameron is a fellow working under House's supervison. The cases in the Diagnostic department are his responsibility. How could his junior kill his patient? Finally, I am hoping that it is not over since Cuddy spoke to House about the patient's untimely death and the fact that a nurse charted patient as stable 30 minutes before. I hope the writers did deep on this one. I hope the writers and producers return to what made the show great. Medical mysteries, unusual and bizarre clinic patients, House/Wilson banter, House/Duckling banter, and Cuddy running around trying to keep House in check and the hosptial from being sued. Well while I await the return of the REAL House MD show, I will have my season 1 and 2 DVDs to comfort me.
