Louie calls from the POW's house, with no helpful info. House asks to talk to Cameron and, apropos of absolutely nothing, asks her about her relationship with Chase. Oh yeah, they're together, remember? Pro tip: always leave a few plot threads lying around on the floor, because you never know when you might want to pick one up again 2 seasons later. 13 tries to change the subject, but Cameron says it goes faster to just tell House the truth. Watch and learn, rookie. Things with Chase are same old same old, and Cameron gives away that they always spend the night at his place, not hers. House knows a relationship issue when he sees one. He should, he's a walking relationship issue. "Yeah, moves much faster this way," scoffs 13.

Since the POW won't go outside, House decides to try provoking the seizure by bringing the outside to him. He busts in accompanied by three random people off the street. The POW starts wigging out. Cameron thinks the trick is cruel, but House says it's kinder than not finding out what's wrong with him. I must have heard this same exchange fifty times during the first three seasons. That, peeps, is why Cameron's been exiled to the ER. Meanwhile, the POW is having some serious indigestion.

Hey, is that Knox from Heroes? That show is doing worse than I thought.

Name That Disease: Dr. Sarcasm, In the Library, With An X-Ray

OK, so it's not the library, it's just the POW's living room with lots of books in it. Still, I'm getting a definite Clue vibe. They decide they really need to get him in the hospital so they can do some real tests. I don't know, I'm kinda digging the change of scenery. House tells the POW that he is FOS. That's an actual quasi-medical term, according to Mrs. Copyhacker. I know because she says it to me all the time. They'll have to fix it in the OR. The POW refuses. He's FOS, he can act however he wants. The SOB says OK, we'll bring the OR to you, like MASH. OMG. STFU with the acronyms already. House is going to set up a fake operating room in the POW's place, put him to sleep and haul him off to the hospital. Cameron objects, because the POW won't be able to make decisions about his medical care while unconscious. House thinks her dead husband is doing her thinking for her again. Cameron makes the astute point that House's leg is screwed up because someone operated on him against his will while he was unconscious. Wow, our little Cameron is all grown up now. I guess the ER really ages you. Anyway, they setup this totally ET looking OR in the POW's MBR, knock him out and drag him off to the House of Pain.

Wilson goes to see Cuddy to try and weasel the deets out of her. Before he can barely open his mouth, she tells him about the kiss. She harshes Wilson's schoolgirl buzz by saying she doesn't see House that way, because well, duh. Do we really need an explanation for why a sane woman would not find House attractive? What she actually says is a lot of rationalization which makes it clear that she's thought it all out, which means she is into House. I guess the operative word in my question was "sane". Wilson, all into this matchmaker thing, tells her she should go for it. She gets a convenient page and exits.

OMG, as if! 'Lisa Cuddy House' looked totally lame when I wrote it out 100 times.

Cameron and Chase are passive-aggressively arguing about whose place they're going to stay at tonight. I thought Cameron knew better than to let House get in her head like that. Maybe the veteran Houseguests aren't that much better at handling House after all. Their spat is interrupted by Cuddy, who found out about the MASH unit stunt. House doesn't argue with her, which Cameron picks up on. Cuddy notices the mosquito bite on House's hand (which is now covered by a bloody bandage) and asks him if he's OK. If one kiss means we can skip the scene where Cuddy pretends to be outraged over House's latest stunt, I'm all for it.

Cameron has a relapse of conscience, wakes up the POW, and tells him that he's been admitted to the hospital. He freaks and pulls out an arterial line in his neck. Blood sprays everywhere. Are we at the halfway point already?
