House tells 13 he likes her better now that she's dying. 13 is still pissed, though, because the patient is going back to her old job instead of seizing the day. "Almost dying changes nothing. Dying changes everything," quoth House, while getting another lightbulb. An emotional one this time, I guess. He goes to see Wilson and unloads his guilt feelings. Wilson absolves him. But.

"We're not OK," says Wilson. He says he was quitting anyway, because he was tired of House's crap. Looks like he's wearing Amber's pants now. But not her skirt, thank goodness. "We're not friends anymore, House. I'm not sure we ever were." Wilson walks out with the last of his stuff like David Banner at the end of an episode of The Incredible Hulk. Which makes me think, Wilson as the Hulk would be an awesome TV show.

You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.

So what did you think? How cruel was it that House finally opened up to Wilson, only to get dumped? Can Cuddy show any more skin, and will House finally get a piece of it now that his wingman is gone? Did 13 finally turn 14? Will Wilson turn green and smash up some medical gear? See you next week!

Hilarious recap!
Yeah, it's getting sickening having to see Cameron (and her bad dye job). At least they didn't have Chase go talk to Wilson. We all know he doesn't have a soul.
I was getting quite annoyed at 13's "feminism". Yeah, questioning another woman's career choice is very empowering. Good job.
It was kind of a cop-out, House seemingly solving the patient's problem in what seemed like a few minutes. It felt like the writers just slapped something together to accompany the epic conflict between Wilson and House.
A good episode though.

fire@will:

Outstanding recap. Very funny. Welcome abroad.

Season openers sometimes are a bit shakey. I hope that was the case here.

Cuddy's attire is pretty unbelievable... not that I am complaining... what is next - a red, white and blue bikini and a pellet rifle?

Don't suffer cranial inflation (unless you want to), but your recap was far funnier than any of the campaign speeches I've heard so far.

chibby:

i'm probably gonna be crucified now,.. but i'm a bit disappointed in the recap. i'm not sure if you're being forced to watch this show and recap it because it feels that way when I read it, though i do find it funny still...

DrJerkass:

Welcome Copyhacker and great job on the recap.

I was disappointed in this episode. The show has been very formulaic from the start, but it is always at its best when House is a hilarious ass and Wilson is enabling him. This new turn reminds me of the cop storyline that was also a waste of time.

As far as 13 goes, I wish they would have just kept Cameron there instead. They're basically the same character except that Cameron loves House and 13 is dying and bisexual, none of which is interesting. Trying to pretend the show is about anyone but House is delusional.

Okay my rant is over. Awesome recapping. I enjoy anyone that can help me take things less seriously.

No Touching!!:

Great job Copyhacker!

I've been looking forward to a House recap for a long time... that g.d. writer's strike messed everything up. I have a feeling that's whay so many shows sucked for the last parts of their seasons - including House.

The cover story for last week's Entertainment Weekly is all about the House writing staff and their plans for this season. It is definitely worth a read for House fans out there. It makes things seem a little less depressing for the rest of this season. Plus..... (a very minor SPOILER ALERT)
......apparently we'll get to see a little bit more of House and Cuddy moving past their passive aggression/dysfunction and on to "other things".

After last season's Cuddy + stripper pole = super tease scene I am so ready to see more...um... character development... and keep those tiny outfits coming!

Keep up the good work Copyhacker - can't wait to read next week's recap!

Great job Copyhacker!!

You made me LOL when you wrote about 'when did she have time to go job hunting?' It's always bothered me that medical shows always show patient's so perky after surgery. T'aint the case!!

I agree with commenter Dr. Jerkass regarding 13. Get her over-botoxed face off my show!

copyhacker:

Thanks, guys, for the kind words of welcome! (Except for chibby -- you're dead to me. :))

I chose House out of a couple of options, because I love the show and I've watched it since season 1.

I thought this episode was pretty thin, but they seem to fall back to the standard procedural format for the first show or two, until they hit their stride -- or until ratings week, anyway. I expect things will pick up in a couple of weeks.

OK, enough goofing off, back to the episode 2 recap!
