I don't know about you guys, but it's been a long 2 weeks with no House. It seems the country had better things to last Tuesday night. Not that an election night recap, especially if you were watching Fox, wouldn't have been interesting. I was watching NBC myself, but by the 15th time they showed Oprah bawling big fat tears of joy, I could've used a snappy Greg House one-liner to cut the warm fuzzies. So we've waited long enough--let's find out what happened after the big smooch!
A guy is lying on the floor next to some roses when firefighters bust through his door. The room is swimming and underwater sound effects (and one of the firemen) tell us that he's just had a seizure. As they pull him out of the house, he freaks and clocks one of them.
Take that, warm fuzzies!
Name That Disease: The Too Legit To Quit Round
Cameron presents the case to House. The Patient of the Week is having seizures. That part is boring. The catch: he has agoraphobia, and refuses to come out of his house. Louie wants to know just what Cameron is doing in here. The POW didn't come in through the ER, which is where Cameron works now, except during these weekly abuse appointments in the Masochist Wing. Anyway, Cameron knows this patient because she talked to him through his door one time, and she's into damaged people, so she's going to be his personal advocate. Cuddy shows up outside the door. House dashes out to meet her and have the "about last night" talk. She thanks him for not taking advantage of her in her emotional distress. Which is nowhere to be seen today, BTW. Do House's medical powers extend to curing grief? And... only first base? Did he have an attack of conscience, or did he chicken out? I bet it's the latter. In any case, they come to the Obvious Decision: pretend nothing happened. And I'm sure it'll work just as well as it does every other time it's tried on TV. Vulnerability crisis averted.
Will you go with me? Check yes or no.
House makes a triumphant return to the kids, consults his Hip Hop Dictionary, and tells them "I totally hit that last night, and now she's on my jock." Must be the 1990 Edition with foreword by MC Hammer. I have that one myself, it's ill. 13 thinks Cuddy looks pretty good for someone on Roofies, and I guess she would know. She's probably planning to get game tips from House now. The Houseguests don't believe him. Less importantly, how are they going to figure out what's wrong with the POW unless they can get him to the hospital? House drops a cryptic hint involving diamonds, which Foreman and Cameron figure out first. "The Formster and the Camster, kickin' it ol' skool." He shoos them all out so he can watch his old Yo! MTV Raps tapes.
Cameron and the 2.0 Houseguests knock at the armor-plated door. After some negotiation, the POW lets them in. Cameron gives the POW an exam while the rest of the Houseguests ransack the place. She tries to trigger another seizure with a fancy medical version of a disco light. He's wearing a sensor thingy on his head that looks like a reject prop from Ghostbusters. This doesn't stop him from flirting with Cameron in that sick-puppy way that she adores.
I am the Keymaster.
House tells Wilson to go away. Looks like that agoraphobia is contagious. Wilson asks House if he talked to Cuddy last night about losing the baby. House uses his gangsta phrase again. It's not like him to recycle a line, so he must be preoccupied. Wilson, unlike the Houseguests, believes him and is all 'OMG!! U GUYZ R MFEO!!!'. I have it on good authority that working in a hospital is just like high school except with better drugs, and here we have the proof. Also, Grey's Anatomy. House admits it was just a kiss and complains that a mosquito bite kept him up half the night. He scratches his hand, then decides to break the skin and let the poison out. Poison from a mosquito bite? You're in a hospital. Don't you have, I don't know, Benadryl or something a tad less dramatic?

Huddy!... I love that. I hope they don't drag this "maybe I will, Maybe I won't" thing on for a whole season.
And you were dead-on with the "Scrubs" comparison at the end. hahahaha!

Damn. I completely neglected to watch this one, since in the description it said something about the Chaseron pairing and I thought it was another rerun. Daaarn. :(
