House tells them to divide into two groups, and do some tests. Then he asks who likes the designated hitter. He says they're wrong, and they have to run other tests and they're lucky they're not fired. And he's right. The DH sucks. Finally he asks who doesn't know what a designated hitter is. Kind of strange looking woman doctor and old dude in the back raise their hand. I find it hard to believe that old dude doesn't know what it is, but regardless, their job is to break into her house and find out what she's hiding. Kind of strange looking woman doctor, who has a Russianish accent (making her woman doctor with accent) asks why they don't just get her keys. Silly woman, go back to Russiaishland. The rest of them? They get to wash House's car!

Wheelchair doctor is pissed about having to do it, but he's not even doing anything. He's just sitting there bitching. Black doctor (I think he was the only one of the group) says it's 30 minutes of work, not a big deal. Then weird-looking blond doctor says nobody went to med school to do an honest day's labor. She ends up organizing a workers' union, and they walk out on washing the car (and ride their wheelchair scooter out), leaving black doctor to do it himself.

So young doctor dude, old dude, and woman doctor with accent are at woman pilot's apartment, outside her window. All of these generic names are getting old already. Somebody please fire a lot of people. They're all arguing about breaking into the woman's place, and young doctor dude said he wouldn't let old dude in if he managed to get inside because it's a competition.

We're back with black doctor washing the car, and weird-looking blond doctor is back. She says she didn't ever plan on leaving, she just wanted to get all the other people out of there. Not really a bad move, but she could have been a little more useful for me. The only person in the group who had a nickname was wheelchair doctor. (Also, upon second glance, there were a few ethnic doctors in the group who walked out. Good work this week extras!) On top of that, she stole House's keys. She says they can take the car to a carwash, and she makes a good point that House really isn't into respecting personal property. God House is an awesome character.

Back at woman pilot's apartment, guess who opens the window from the inside? Old dude. He told the super a story that he was worried about his niece or something. So maybe old people aren't totally useless. In addition to that, he didn't have to let the other two in, but he did anyways. So he appears to be some kind of nice guy. Whatever that means. Perhaps old dude and his old duding ways can be of some help.

Take that, you whippersnappers!

The first three doctors who ran tests are now in House's office, and woman pilot's bloodwork was unremarkable. As is her ability to fly a plane. That rules out bloodclots. One of the women is staring at House's monitor, where he's got a picture of a naked woman spooning a dolphin. Get used to it lady. I've heard one of the worst things to get addicted to, and one of the easiest things to get addicted to, is woman on dolphin porn. Must...resist...urge...

House says it's not a dolphin, it's a porpoise. Well porpoise-woman porn isn't addictive at all. As they're discussing the finer points of internet pornography, House sees Chase walk by in the hallway. The other doctors continue to talk about symptoms as House looks out in the hallway, incredibly confused. Then weird-looking blond doctor walks up, and House asks if she saw a blond doctor with a pretentious accent. Then he asks her for his car keys back, and tells her to put the patient in a hyperbaric chamber. So she gives him her keys, and she adopts the confused look that House just had as he was looking for Chase.

Hugh Laurie was in this show called Blackadder starring Rowan Atkinson. It's a very funny show. Season one is nowhere near as good as the other seasons though, just FYI. Each season is set in a completely different time period: middle ages, Elizabethan time, World War I.

georgiababe:

Haha - I don't even watch House, but I loved Hugh Laurie in Blackadder, so when I saw that picture, I laughed out loud and decided to comment.

Yes, so hejohnsonvc above is right - and Blackadder is definitely one of the greatest British TV shows ever.

talma63:

Don't know if it's because I miss the housemates, but I find this season somewhat annoying. Yes, I get it, House is supposed to be witty, excentric, annoying and juvenile, yet brilliant, but his total dominance of dedicated, intelligent doctors like Cuddy and Wilson is a bit much. I remember a good friend I once had who was fun and intelligent but possessed the annoying habit of arguing about anything I would say. He hasn't been my friend for years. Careful, House, I may walk out on you, too!

fire@will:

Long recap, but that only reflects how much they pack into House.

Was I the only one reminded of that real astro-nut woman? I'll bet she lied to qualify for NASA, too.

As usual, some great lines, well delivered...

Liked Cameron better as a brunette.

Good job!

mmmeg:

"Cute brunette doctor with eyes possibly too far apart" is actually Olivia Wilde. You may remember her from The OC where she played Mischa Barton's lesbian lover and also from the Black Donnelly's which lasted all of about two seconds. Hope she isn't the kiss of death for House, although I liked her in this episode and hope we see more of her.
