House: Skin Deep
Aside from the show's obvious shot at the parents of teenagers who get famous, the plotline of this week's show was just what the doctor ordered. We saw an interesting bond between Cameron and Foreman after she ratted out the father of the supermodel teenager to Cuddy, and we got to see Cameron "caring too much" in action when she asked House if she "was in trouble" a few times at the end of the show. But at the end of the day, this week was special because House said "thank you" - I think twice, actually.
Not that I was worried enough about spoiling this show that I threw this comment below the jump, but was anyone out
there at all expecting this ending? For that model to turn out to be a hermaphrodite was probably the most random thing
that could possibly have happened, in my eyes. Left field, here we come! I found myself wishing that House had those "where are they now" episodes sort of like Oprah or Maury or Montel, because it'd be fascinating to know where this one ended up.
Now that House knows
that mind over matter is taking the best out of him, will it help him going forward? Cuddy clearly pulled a House on
House when she gave him saline instead of morphine to "fix" his leg problem, and it almost makes me wonder if
she's talking to Wilson on the side in the interest of keeping the doctor on point. Not only was he thankful to her in
the end, but he was the same way with Foreman in the hallway. He has to know that his complaints about the
pain is going to negatively affect his thinking - or at least the people around him. I'm also firmly starting to
believe that he'll be single at the end of this season, this show, whenever. That being said, it's cool to notice that
as much of a jerk as he is publicly, his colleagues actually care about him, even if he does go around calling one
"Blackpoleon Blackaparte," telling another that "some women do grow breasts," and ragging on the
sexual habits of the third.
