Woman doctor is resilient to it, saying it will make her a joke. Not anymore of a joke than her giant fivehead though. Creepy doctor says people will take her more seriously, which I believe, unless they're not trying to sleep with her. But he makes some point about heroes not caring what other people think, and suddenly she can't wait to get some giant cans. And I can't wait for her.
House is prepping for surgery and in storms Cuddy. She wants answers and she wants them sometime. House gives her some terrible reason for rushing this woman into surgery, and she buys it and says she'll cancel surgery. As she starts to walk out, House explains himself. He gave a bad answer because she doesn't want to know. If she knows, she'll have to explain to the board when it's called into question. And everything with this patient is pretty unethical, so it's probably not a good idea for her to know anymore than she needs to. House will take the fall for his actions, if he needs to. So Cuddy accepts, and it's time to throw some D's on woman pilot. Oh, and save her life or whatever.
House inserts a camera into woman pilot's chest and they find whatever's wrong with her. So House asks the doctors to name what's wrong with her and they get immunity into the next round. Cute woman doctor is wrong, creepy doctor is wrong; House still needs an answer. As he's trying to help them, a pretentious accent comes over the intercom. It's Chase, and he's observing the surgery. House checks to make sure that other people see Chase as well and it's not a hallucination, and creepy doctor asks if he's going to hire that guy instead of them. "Not a chance, I love you guys." I don't buy that, but he definitely won't hire Chase. Oh, and we find out he's on the surgical staff.
Now House has to call out Wilson for lying to him. House discovers that Cameron has been a senior tending in surgical, and it seems as though Chase followed Cameron back to the surgical staff. Then House asks about Foreman. Bad news though, he actually has been working at New York Mercy for a month. So maybe House was just drunk when he saw Foreman earlier. Or maybe he saw a doctor uglier than Foreman, but through the beer (tequila) goggles it looked like Foreman.
As woman pilot is recovering, Kal tells her that the disease is hereditary and can't be cured (and that her boobs look bangin! Taj is crazy!), and it could also reemerge at any time, so weird-looking blond doctor thinks woman pilot should come clean to NASA. House comes in and tells them that no one has to tell, and that the NASA doctors know where the hyphen goes in whatever disease she has. The woman can't believe House called them, and House says he's not an idiot because those shuttles fly over New Jersey. I know she's probably upset, but if she just sets lower goals, they'll be much more attainable.
Could you SuperSize that, hon?

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.

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.

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!

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!

"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.
