Watching House

We start off with a teen who is wrestling and he’s deaf, as he’s talking with a female friend using sign language. His mother shows a shirt that says “deaf pride” and he signs “you’re not deaf” and she signs back “I’m proud of you – that’s close enough”. He starts wrestling and suddenly she screams and grabs his ears, walking away from the match and falling to his knees.

House wakes up in his bed to the voice of Amber. House says that he’s hallucinating because he’s got insomnia, while Amber wonders if she’s there because Kutner’s suicide made him remember how guilty he felt about Amber. House says that a decent nights sleep will cure her – and then the beeper goes off.

Amber: Guess I’ll be around a few more hours.

The ducklings approach House with the POtW and how he has started hearing banging noises. Meanwhile Amber shows up and makes a few suggestions, beginning to write on the white board. She realizes, however, that she can’t write on the board.

Amber: Damn imaginary pen.

House advises that they see if the POtW has a seizure, even though Amber reminds him that no one mentioned seeing any seizures during the meet.

House heads to Wilson’s office and asks for sleeping pills. Cameron is there with Wilson looking at a file. Amber, however, is also there and wonders why Wilson and Cameron closed the file and why Wilson is willing to give House the sleeping pills w/o bothering him.

House, however, manages to grab the file and finds a bunch of bachelor stuff in there. House’s best man doesn’t get there until the day before the wedding, so she asked Wilson to help plan the bachelor party. House, however, has other ideas.

House: There are two things I do well. Bachelor parties rank at the top.

There is so much good stuff on TV during this time of year! All of the great shows are gearing up for their season finales, and all of the new ones are teasing about what is going! There is lots of stuff happening over on the island of Lost, and we even had the final finale of ER. How about House?

Let’s see, we’ve got Foreman watching on while Thirteen kisses a girl (or it looks like they’re going to kiss, anyway), House drunk - this time at work, and Wilson doing shots off of a woman’s breasts?! What’s not to love?!

Screen shots and video preview below!

The case of a deaf 14 year old boy, Seth (Ryan Lane), who collapses in the middle of a wrestling match after ‘hearing’ explosions is brought to Princeton-Plainsboro, and the team faces an ethical dilemma when Seth’s mother (Clare Carey) decides to forego cochlear implants. Meanwhile, House suffers from lack of sleep, which starts to play tricks on his mind. However, House finds it is more of a help than a hindrance and Cuddy decides to pay him a visit.

There are five protesters who have chained themselves to the wheels of a huge machine. They’re protesting the coal miners digging out coal for man to use. Suddenly one of the women goes limp and the trooper tells the man that the woman has no pulse. He unchains her only to find out that she passed out because she was dehydrated. He says “we’ll be back”, but when he tries to get up he becomes disoriented and can’t stand up.

Cameron goes to see Chase and says that she has to postpone their trip so that she can pass off a case to House. She owed the doctor who has the case a favor and tells Chase that she’s got to make sure that House really takes the case and that he doesn’t throw it in the trash, but that once he’s on the case and she knows it for certain, they’ll head out on their trip.

House, however, remarks that she’s trying to step into Kutner’s shoes. She says that she’s not shoe shopping. Thirteen thinks that his illness has something to do with the fact that he’s a nutcase and always out protesting at toxic waist dumps.

Foreman: You think the guys a nutcase because he cares about the environment?
Taub: He’s a single guy in his twenties, he cares about getting his hybrid waxed by girls who care about the environment.
Foreman: See? Not a nutcase.

On Monday those fans of Cameron and House are going to be extremely happy, as it looks like our intrepid ER physician and our favorite cranky doc are going to be getting some great scenes together! The next episode is entitled Saviors.

Staff at Princeton-Plainsboro, particularly House and the team, try to deal with the recent tragedy while Cameron presents House with the case of an environmentalist who collapsed in the middle of a protest.

Before I get into the sad “why did Kutner have to die” stuff again (and trust me, those are the main keywords bringing people to this blog all day for the last few days), I’ve got to show you this. This is an April Fools joke played on the House cast this year, found by a good friend of mine from “down unda”, Jaime.

Behold - the Endless Elevator April Fools prank…

I love Hugh’s face during this!! And even Omar is hilarious!

Everyone is wondering why Kutner died on House last night. Everyone knew that the show needed something drastic in order to bring the show to the attention of the world again, and we all knew that one of the main characters was going to die, but why was it Kutner?

I might have the answer to that, thanks to a little internet-digger of a best friend (thanks Danni!)

In an interview with the Huffington Post, it’s revealed that Kal Penn is leaves House so that he can work in the White House!

I understand it was your decision to leave House. True?

KAL PENN: Yes. I was incredibly honored a couple of months ago to get the opportunity to go work in the White House. I got to know the President and some of the staff during the campaign and had expressed interest in working there, so I’m going to be the associate director in the White House office of public liaison. They do outreach with the American public and with different organizations. They’re basically the front door of the White House. They take out all of the red tape that falls between the general public and the White House. It’s similar to what I was doing on the campaign.

Safe to say you’re taking a huge pay cut?

PENN: Oh, yeah. There’s not a lot of financial reward in these jobs. But, obviously, the opportunity to serve in a capacity like this is an incredible honor.

How long has this been in the works?

PENN: I’ve been thinking about [moving into politics] for a while. I love what I do as an actor. I couldn’t love it more. But probably from the time I was a kid, I really enjoyed that balance between the arts and public service. I went to a performing arts high school, but I still took a bunch of those dorky political science classes. It’s probably because of the value system my grandparents instilled in me. They marched with Gandhi in the Indian independence movement, and that was always in the back of my head. So the past couple of years I thought about it a little more. And in ‘06 I started this international studies program at Stanford, where they actually let you do most of the course work online. So it was something I could do while I was acting. And I thought this might be the right time to go off and do something else.

Here’s a video of Kal Penn campaigning for President Barack Obama:

Family is walking away from a man who looks like he’s dying (It’s Meatloaf – all of a sudden ‘I would do anything for love’ is ringing in my head.) He tells his wife that he was selfish and that he never gave her the trips and things that she wanted. He says that he’s ready and looks like he’s dying, but suddenly the wife can’t breathe and starts choking. He gathers the strength and yells for a nurse to help his wife.

House gets the chart and wonders where Kutner and 13 are – Taub tells him that Thirteen is busy with a patient and that Kutner’s dog is sick and that he’ll be in by lunch. House wonders if Taub is covering for Kutner. We find out that the POtW’s husband (herefore called Meatloaf) is dying of lung cancer. The patient wants to be released to go back to her husband, Eddie. Taub says that he has an idea.

He wheels Meatloaf into his wife’s room and tells the wife that now they can focus on making her better.

House is back on clinic duty! In front of him is a little girl who is dressed up in pageant wear. The mother is worried about the girl – she’s staring into space and isn’t paying attention.

House: Well I can cure her, but it’s going to cost you $3.25. Well I’m not going to give you my coffee for free. (he hands the cup to the little girl). Think if it as sober juice.
The Mother: She’s drunk?

The daughter had been sneaking into the bathroom and using her mother’s mouthwash.

House: Did you spit it out?
Little Girl: Mommy doesn’t. (HA!)

Foreman tells House that the patient’s treatment worked and that she can be released. House notices that Kutner still isn’t there and asks the crew to find out what or who he’s doing and to get him to work. As House leaves the crew gets beeped about their patient, Charlotte (POtW). She’s unable to breathe again. Taub goes into her room and Meatloaf is suddenly looking a heck of a lot stronger, sitting up on his own.

Foreman and Thirteen go to Kutner’s apartment and Thirteen has a key that she opens the door with. They start wandering around and Thirteen spies Kutner laying on the floor in his bedroom, a gun nearby! Foreman calls 911 and says that there is a gunshot wound to the left temple. A huge pool of blood is on the floor and the two start doing CPR (behind a wall – we can only see his legs). Thirteen sits back, blood on her face and all over her from the pool of blood.

Thirteen: He’s cold. Eric….

Oh My God! You think that’s something, you haven’t seen anything yet - the rest of the recap below!
