"If I thought I could get you naked, I would have led with that," Dr. Mira responds. Enjoy the cold shower, House, you're gonna need one! "You'd rather show me your soul than your leg." Ouch, Dr. Mira. House says she's got him all figured out, and now she's going to try to "fix him."
"I never said you needed fixing," she says in that way all women do right before we try to fix you.
So back to Foreman who still has his undies in a big bunch about House letting Dr. Mira take part in her own differentials. Foreman, good advice I once received: If you don't like your job, quit, otherwise, shut up. Wilson says House lets her discuss things because he likes her. Oh, and P.S., spaghetti sauce doesn't work as lymph tissue stain. Well duh, Dick Tracy. Shouldn't you look for a liquid that is somewhat transparent? Not spaghetti sauce, which would be too thick, much like the oncologists at this hospital. Like I know what the hell I'm talking about. It's not lupus, dammit!
Foreman tells Wilson that House is "annoyed by her, doesn't respect her as a doctor, constantly insults her," and Wilson replies it's because "that's House's version of courtship." Well, that and talking about lavender shirts. Foreman says if that's the case, House has been wooing him for years. Careful, don't make Wilson jealous!
"How long does it take you to get naked?" Okay, raise your hands if you've ever heard that before. Dr. Mira wears a lot of layers, because you know, it's bloody cold in the South Pole She keeps her socks on, though, because no lymph nodes there. I just think she needs a pedicure. She holds the camera on her while she feels her nodes. This has to be on camera? Won't her arm get tired? Aren't your hands tired from raising them since the first sentence of this paragraph?
Just another typical night for Gregory House
House is completely true to form and offensive, and asks her to check her breasts, then her ass, then turns on "Let's Get It On" to get her in the mood. Then he notices a section on her stomach where a lymph node is swollen. Man, those cameras really are clear! And guess who's doing a biopsy!
Dr. Mira is on a table icing her stomach to turn House on and to numb the area she's about to put a huge needle into. Are you telling me everyone there is too busy to help with this? She must work with a bunch of sissies. Wilson tells her to guide the needle into the node. "Come on Cate, let's get this done," House coaxes. Wilson goes completely apoplectic hearing him call her by her first name. Jealous much?
She takes the biopsy and ouch. Do they not even have Novocain? No topical numbing agent? House says "You okay?" and Wilson strokes out he's so full of jealousy. Later, in the patented hospital elevator scene, he accosts House with "You slept with her!" followed by "Somehow, you've been intimate with her." Could it be the watching her touch her nodes via web cam?
And here we go with a continuation of House stalking Wilson as House follows him through the lobby. Wilson caves and says, "Okay, the reason I haven't told you is because - " and he turns and runs away. Chase after him House - oh wait, you can't. Good one, Wilson, but I still prefer the volleyball to you.
Way to exploit House's handicap, you tool!
And back to the cable standoff..."Call off your dogs, House," Cameron says. Does she still work there? "You think if they make me miserable I'm going to give you cable?" And instead of telling House to go screw himself on getting cable at work, she jeopardizes her career and ability to show any backbone by resigning from the Budget Committee. Why mess up your own career over that? Way to show him, Cameron.
House retaliates by posting a "Free Rottweiler Puppies" sign with Cameron's phone number and instruction to call after 11pm or before 5am. This is an excellent idea that I will be using against the 4 mortal enemies I have right now. Haha.
"I'd love a new puppy," House says. "The last one was delicious. So tender." All of my dogs have suddenly run from the room.
Wilson and Dr. Mira are in the midst of an extra-marital conference session. "So, how long do I let the lymph node marinate in the red wine?" So not enough antibiotics, but plenty of Merlot at the South Pole. They'd better not be using any of my tax dollars for that study grant!

Great recap, I didn't think we would ever see one for this episode. I really liked the Mira/House dynamic. I would love to see her in another guest spot.

I really enjoyed this episode, but not nearly as much as I enjoyed your recap.
Honestly, I was laughing out loud like a mental patient.
Great job! You made my day.
