House wants Chase to peep the POW's brain to see if there's something in there that might be causing Cushing's disease. I figured it was about time for his weekly cameo. House checks out Dead Coma Guy for clues while they operate, then Chase and Foreman let him know Judy had a heart attack on the operating table. That means the Cushing's is in the brain. Wilson thinks House has finally Gone Too Far, for only about the dozenth time since the series began. I'm just mad that we didn't get a gratuitous paddle-zapping. I feel so cheated.

Speaking of which, Louie is begging the suit for a job. He's scared of getting stuck in his crappy low-paying doctor job and wants to come work for the suit. The suit can't hire him, but he will take some investment money off his hands. Looks like House isn't the only one doing business in Nigeria this week.

Chase asks the POW if she wants to A) treat her illness with drugs for the rest of her life, or B) risk another heart attack and have her pituitary gland removed. She chooses option B, because if life has no meaning, then she doesn't want to live it. Hey, um, I don't mean to be a bother with all these stupid questions, but if you had your pituitary removed, wouldn't you be on hormones for the rest of your life anyway? Chase cuts loose with his longest speech of the season, something about faith being very important and all but not when you're about to have a Drastic Medical Procedure.

Also, I'm too pretty to get canned and they all know it.

Louie delivers his resignation to House, who refuses to take it. He wants to avoid the whole fire/quit/rehire cycle that happens every other episode. Mixing it up this week, are we? Louie leaves anyway. House tells him not to let the door hit him on the way back in, and to bring donuts while he's at it.

House is killing time at his desk, waiting for the lightbulb, when the cat moseys back in to the office and plops down on his laptop keyboard. Ah, there's the lightbulb. Or maybe that's just the light-up keys on House's MacBook Pro.

House goes to Wilson's office to gloat. The cat was snuggling up to dying patients to get warm, because they either had a fever or a heating blanket. The POW also had a fever. Which means... umm... appendix cancer? So it's not not cancer! But my bingo still counts. House dials up the OR just in time to stop the Suddenly Unnecessary Drastic Procedure.

House goes to see Judy and get in one last shot at destroying her faith. She's obviously talked to the priest from last month's episode, because she makes the same point about coincidence being just as good as a miracle. "You're an idiot," says House. I already got that square, but thanks anyway. God and His cat win again! As the POW rides off into the sunset, House sits down and jumps back up, hollering for Kumar. There's cat pee on his chair. Or what he thinks is cat pee. 13 thinks getting a cat to pee on demand is pretty impressive. "Yeah. A cat," says Kumar. Oh, that's just awesome. Nah, he probably just peed in his pants from fear of the cat. House, on the way out, passes Louie, on the way in, with donuts.

Why is 13 skulking in the background of like every shot? It's starting to creep me out.

This one was better than average for me, at least out of this season's episodes. (And I'm not just saying that because I got a bingo. That happens pretty much every week.) The dialogue was LOL funny and we didn't have to put up with any Huddy / Buddy / Foreteen baggage. A lot of times I like non-sweeps episodes best, because they don't take themselves so seriously. Case in point: remember The OC? The big episodes had all this Surf Nazi death crap, but the show was tons better when it was just goofing around. (Which is why Josh Schwartz has another hit right now with Chuck.)

Enough pontification though, what did you guys think?
