Later, Cuddy explains the procedure to Alice. But all she wants to talk about is how she's afraid of her parents splitting up. God, children are so selfish.
Next, it's Cameron's turn to talk with DMo Popo. She asks if he's going to break out the rubber hoses and bright lights, and once again I'm reminded of my honeymoon. She tells him she won't testify just because she has to borrow lunch money. Trigger knows she won't testify, because chicks don't give up guys they're in love with. Of course, she denies it, but we all know she is. How else do you explain the disdain in her voice, the coldness in her eyes, the warmth in her cooter every time she talks to House? DMo Popo says she has to be in love with him, because he's unhinged, unethical and unmobile, yet she stands by him. "It can't just be loyalty and respect?" she asks. Nope, gotta be the Puppy Chow. He tells her that she used to be someone who did the right thing, but House has changed her. Made her darker. Eviler. More bangable.
Cuddy goes back in to check on Alice. No sooner does Foreman say she's fine than she starts yelling that her arm hurts. Foreman thinks she has a blood clot in her arm, so he sends her into surgery. But not before Alice tells Cuddy that she promised it wouldn't hurt. Passive-aggressive much, ALICE?
In the cafeteria, it's Chase's turn to meet with DMo Popo. He tells Chase that he knows he told the others his accounts had been frozen too, but they both know they never were. Chase only told them that so they wouldn't know that Trigger had singled him out, because he thought they'd think he was going to testify against House. After all, he has a reputation as an opportunist, so DMo Popo wants to use that against him. Trigger tells Chase that in 24 hours, he's going to unfreeze everyone's accounts. And because he's made sure that they've been seen together in the cafeteria, everyone is going to think that Chase turned on House. Pretty sneaky, sis. Chase is hellascrewed now.
During the surgery, Alice's temperature starts to spike. Cuddy asks for some cooling blankets so she can keep Alice's brain from melting. Turns out the icy cold stuff is all down in the ER, where they're dealing with a four-car collision. Caused, no doubt, by House's addiction. Since there's no way to cool Alice down in the OR, Cuddy rips out all of her wires, picks her up and runs off. Man, if only the Wonder Twins were here. (And for once, I'm not talking about Cuddy's breastesses.)
In the observation room, Cameron, Chase and House are still arguing about Alice's case, so none of them notice that Cuddy has run off with their patient. Cameron says that House screwed up, but Chase takes House's side. House tells him he doesn't need his ass covered, he needs his Vicodin. All he gets is two pills every six hours. Cuddy's given DMo Popo leverage over medical decisions, and Housie don't like it. "Why don't we get a plumber in here and ask his opinion?" He yells down at Cuddy and asks if she knows any rodeo clowns. One problem: Cuddy's not down there. She's taking a cold shower with Alice. This is getting very John Mark Karr now.
That's one hot cold shower.
When House finds them, Cuddy shows him Alice's arm. It's totally red and rash-covered. He says he told her it was an infection, so this is all her fault. And it's a damn good thing she failed at becoming a mother, because she sucks at it. Ah, don't look so sad, Cuddy, that's just the pills talking. Or the lack of, I guess.

My Super Sweet 16 is one of those shows that I laugh it even as I cringe in horror.
"Chase went down with just one punch from a skinny cripple. That's sad. Steve Erwin would be so disappointed, if he hadn't have gone down with one punch himself."
you are a sick puppy cg (get it? -- puppy?!)
I really should watch this show...

Thanks copygodd, I needed this recap. Not because I watch House (I don't) but because it was so witty. And clever- you even worked in a Shakespeare reference!
So will the parents sue House for removing Alice's perfectly good gallbladder?
Here's my brother's version of what happens at the 51 minute mark:
House- "Wait a minute, I was on drugs, she just has a cold".
Everyone else- "Wow, he's such a great doctor".

Is anyone else tired of the writers' efforts to "expand" the show each year?
Every year they come up with a dead-end, tired plot line they can put the B-story on (rich, obnoxious guy taking over, trying to fire House; ex-girlfriend of House; this year's retaliatory cop). None of these stories have anywhere to go (obviously, House wasn't going to be fired; he's obviously not going to spend the next 10 years (or even 10 weeks) in prison or lose his license to practice), so there's no real jeopardy.
They should spend more time trying to change up the "I'm sure this is what's wrong -- oops we damn near killed the patient -- I'm playing Nintendo and come up with the answer out of the blue at the 52 minute mark" arc that the show has every week.
House is a very entertaining character and very well-played, but eventually, the formula's going to be played out.

I really love the fact that everyone loves House, but thinks DMo is an asshole. In this episode, both their initial conversations with Cuddy were shockingly similar, if not the same. I, in fact, love this story arc, merely for the fact that no one seems to ever pick up on the fact that House's nemesis is House, but with a gun. Who wants to bet that Wilson gives some stupid excuse, and DMo's head explodes at the sheer stupidity, and WIlson has sex with the now empty spinal column? That would be a satisfying conclusion of this arc... Imagine if they became each other's rehab sponsors in exchange for dropping the charges, and an apology from House, that would make a great Halloween episode.

I have to say I never thought I would get there, but I didn't even watch this episode. My girlfriend and I were so tired of the whole David Morse arc that we decided to rely on copygodd's great recap. Thanks for keeping us up to date, I hope the season gets better soon.

A My Super Sweet 16 marathon? I don't know if any of you have ever watched that show or not, but after catching just a couple episodes last year, I think I understand why the terrorists hate us
HAHAHAHAH I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU
