This week on House: tricks, treats, 13, lots of needles, a spider, a hooker--and oh yeah, B1 H0TT13Z D01N 1T 4U !!! Looks like Halloween and Christmas are both coming to Princeton early this year. Ho ho ho, off we go!
13 is getting some action. I could give you details, but there are plenty of websites for that kind of thing. Besides, it's exactly what they're expecting me to do. You just know the producers have been sitting on this bit of storyline and waiting to pull it out when they need a ratings boost. And it's not even sweeps yet! What kind of sucker do they take me for... hey wait, there are B1 H0TT13Z on my TV! What was I saying again?
Bubbles gets up to rinse out her mouth or something. The other woman demands that she come back to bed, and 13 makes a face like she's gone from Afterglow to Morning After in record time. The other woman falls out of bed and has a seizure. Now 13 has to take her one-night-stand to the hospital and introduce her to all her cow-orkers. Awkward. What's more, she doesn't know the other woman's name.
Got that not-so-fresh feeling?

Cameron, who was working in the ER at 3 AM when the Patient of the Week came in, is giving House all the boring details of the case and saving the only interesting one for last. Either she's doing that on purpose to tease House, or she has even less of a sense of humor than I thought. Either way, she plays it straight. Straight? See what I did there? Oh, this is going to be fun. "According to Dr. Hadley, who was with her last night..." and House is off and drooling.
Name That Disease: the Uncomfortable Silence Round
13 is on the hot seat (so to speak) as the Houseguests discuss whether the problem is drugs, blood clots, history of weird medical conditions (a bleeding eyeball? Gross!) or something else. House is letting the insinuendoes fly and Bubbles doing a pretty good job of keeping her cool. I'm not sure I buy it though. Five seasons of medical stress and no Houseguest has ever just up and lost it when House gets in their grill. Cameron used to burst into tears at the drop of a hat, but that's Cameron for you. 13 is supposed to be all damaged, and there's the small matter of a death sentence on her head, but she doesn't bat an eye. BTW, I love it that everyone on the show (except Cuddy) calls her 13 now. House has her go collect a bone marrow sample from the Patient of the Week and follows her in so he can watch. So giant needles turn House on. Mmmkay then.
13 does her usual sarcastic introduction as House asks the 6 to her 9 all the usual medical questions. You know, stuff like how good Bubbles was in bed. The POW gives as good as she gets--to House, get your mind out of the gutter--and is happy to give it up. The deets, I mean! Shame on you, House, now you've got me doing it too. I'm skeptical, and so is 13. She figures out that the POW wasn't fazed by House's routine because she knew his reputation already. She must have slept with 13 to get to House. Color her James Bond, and color 13 pissed. The POW replies that she didn't have to try very hard. Ouch.
What's 13 - 6?

Meanwhile, Wilson's back, and House is giddy about it. He listens at Wilson's office door until he hears a thump, then goes in. House's idea of a practical joke was to remove one of the wheels from Wilson's chair so he'd fall over when he sat in it. I have a four-year-old boy who thinks along the same lines. He also put a donut and a carton of milk on the floor to cushion the blow. Wilson keeps his cool and scarfs the donut--which tells House that he is lying about going to breakfast before work. So House runs to his OTHER sidekick (yes, Lucas is back this episode) and tells Jimmy Olsen to spy on Robin. Jimmy says that people change, friendships change, and House should just drop it.

What? I missed this episode, but your recap was really weird. I had some trouble following. Especially when you started making vulgar references to carpets...? Kind of strange is all.

I think the epi is more boring than the recap. If you didnt get the carpet=vagina reference I suggest you head to the nearest gay bar asap and brush up on your street smarts.
