Watching House

We open with a couple eating dinner and the man being very opinionated. A couple at the other table is disagreeing with him and the first man confronts them. The disagreeing man swore that he didn’t throw a roll (he did) and that he wasn’t doing anything, even though he clearly was. The man who was disagreeing suddenly has blood coming from his eye and goes down.

House is in bed (yummy – oops – sorry – hormones overreacted there) and slowly waking up. He looks around as if to see someone but no one is there. In his robe he checks the apartment but no one is there either. There’s a red mark on his cheek and his lips from lipstick, and a tube of lipstick on the counter in the bathroom. Cuddy’s?

Taub’s consulting with Cameron in the ER and he doesn’t think the bloody tear patient is worthy of House. He asks Cameron about what he should wear to the wedding and she say that there’s been a “glitch” with the wedding, and that House will be interested in the case. He had surgery to help correct a seizure issue and now he’s having different problems.

Taub goes to the POtW and he tells Taub that he’ll go grocery shopping and wind up with all sorts of stuff in his cart that he didn’t put there – stuff that he hates. And that his left hand hates him, and as he says that his left arm tries to take off the blood pressure cuff.

Taub: Yeah, I think House will be interested.

House walks into the office humming and in a VERY good mood. Taub gives him the case.

Taub: Alien hand syndrome.
House: Set off by a stroke? Or was there a pony in the back yard?

They’re discussing the right and left brain and House is saying that the right brain is cheesy and the left brain is the important one – Taub and Foreman, however, disagree and say that it’s just as important as the left brain.

And in walks Cuddy! Hello Cuddy! House wants to say hello to Cuddy too.

House: Good morning sunshine. We’ve got a brand new toy – wanna play?

The rest beneath the cut!

Well well well, this one looks like it’s going to be interesting, doesn’t it?! I can’t stop looking at the picture of Carl Reiner and thinking “My name is Lyman Zerga”.

House and the team are intrigued by Scott (Ashton Holmes), a man whose left brain and right brain operate independently, leaving him with two distinct personalities and no control over some of his actions. As the two sides of Scott’s brain struggle for dominance, his warring personalities make it increasingly difficult for the team to figure out what is causing the unique problem. The team is forced to use some unusual methods to get him to cooperate with their necessary testing. Meanwhile, when House refuses to make an appearance in the clinic, Cuddy takes an unconventional approach to force House to make up the time with a very particular patient (guest star Carl Reiner).

We’re at the ballet! How…cultured of House! Well, House isn’t there, but a bunch of dancers are apparently rehearsing. The main male dancer seems to be having a problem, saying it’s too fast and the producers say that his back isn’t 100%. The main female ballerina is apparently with the main male dancer and they talk a bit during the dance – he lifts her up in the air and it goes fine…until he screams in pain and they both fall to the stage. She can’t breathe and is gasping for breath as they yell to “call a doctor”.

In House’s apartment Amber is playing the ukulele while House sits on the couch eating cereal. She tells House that he’s not completely rational. There’s a knock on the door and it’s Foreman – they have a case and he tells House that Cuddy’s going to fire him if he doesn’t get into work. Amber convinces him to go into work.

The ducklings and House are diagnosing the POtW – she can’t breathe well even on room oxygen. He’s ignoring Amber, who is constantly telling him that the dancer is dehydrated. He finally listens after she pushes her way around and they decide to go buff up the patient and to give her antibiotics. Amber raises her hand for a high five.

Amber: We’re like Magic and Kareem!

The rest is below the cut!
