Cuddy chews out House, Cameron and Chase in her office and says the POW went home threatening to sue. She kicks them off the case. So we didn't avoid the outrage scene after all. Oh well. Cameron knows by now that something's up with Huddy. Don't blame me for the name, I didn't make it up. It's on Fox's web site. House sends Cameron on another house call to try more stuff on the POW. Chase knows by now that something's up with Cameron. She blows him off, begs the POW to let her back in, saying she's let a lot of people down today and she's sorry he was one of them. And she's totally crunching on that hollow-eyed look he's rocking.
Wilson comes to see House and notices the mosquito bite is looking worse. "The Red Badge of Idiocy" is what he calls it. I'm glad they're spreading the one-liners around the cast now. Why should Hugh get all the fun? Wilson says House is afraid of getting involved with Cuddy, and he should go out and carpe him a piece of that diem. House says it's logic, not fear, and Wilson is trying to put them together because he doesn't have the stones to go after the queen bee himself. He's probably right.
Cameron calls House from the Bachelor Pad From Hell. House says they need to operate on location, and if Chase (he's the only surgeon in the hospital, remember) won't do it, then the Houseguests will just have to do it themselves. So Loumar fumbles through the surgery like the Two Stooges, while the POW's lawyer watches from a chair, sans surgical mask. There's a spectacular incident in which the cauterizing gadget sets some intestinal gas on fire. The Jackass guys would have a field day on this show. "Nothing to sue about," says House to the lawyer.
Paging Drs. Beavis and Butt-head.
Chase comes to the POW's house to see Cameron. He offers to stay at her place for the night. I don't get it. If where they sleep is such a big deal, which one has the control issue? They're making it out like it's Chase, but anyone who watched Season 3 knows better. Cameron says no thanks. Yep, more to this than meets the eye. She has to stay here and watch her stray puppy, whose legs just went numb.
The diagnosis du jour is a wheat allergy. The Houseguests want a blood test. House says to force-feed him wheat until he has a reaction. Cameron says House really wants to cause the patient a lot of pain so they can get him back in the hospital. Foreman decides to do the blood test. Not sure why he's in charge all of a sudden, unless it's just that House has better things to do like sit around and pine over Cuddy.
Wilson, heart firmly attached to sleeve, tells Cuddy that he's always had a thing for her. "Then let's have dinner tomorrow night," says Cuddy. "Or maybe it would be better if we just had sex in front of House's office." Wilson is just trying to make House jealous so House will pursue Cuddy. Busted. What kind of plan is that, anyway, and how did Cuddy see through it? Wilson is either the Urban Meyer of wingmen, or he's just really weird. And BTW, If anyone on this show is MFEO, it's Wilson and Cameron.
Speaking of Cameron, she's still shacked up at Chez Crazy, trying to analyze the POW out of his agoraphobia while he eats a bowl of some kind of wheat stuff. She plays the "I lost someone too" card. The POW says he's always had the agoraphobia. Why is this just now coming up? The whole mystery-symptom thing is really on the back burner this week. He gets physical pain, and panic attacks whenever he goes outside. When he was dating, he'd do it for the girlfriend, but it was tough. He starts to gag on his Wheaties. I can't help but wonder if Cameron gets that reaction a lot.
House tells Louie to secretly replace the POW's morphine with saline (or less-phine, as he calls it). He wants the guy to be in so much pain that he'll beg to go to the hospital. Louie refuses, but House points out that all that's waiting for Louie at home is a couch. Are we ever going to get any backstory on that?

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. :(
