I wanted to like last night's episodes and there were several positives, but the negatives overwhelmed everything that was good about the episode. The result: a decent, but highly annoying episode.
The medical story started off interesting with a hot psychopath coming in. Her husband is a clueless fool who is there just to provide her with money, only he doesn't know it. She is completely emotionless and House is interested with her which sparks several conversations.
We finally got a clue what House with doing in rehab. He wrote a letter to someone he wronged in the past who is now bothering House incessantly. In this case, House switched tests with him. House meets with him and his situation isn't pretty. House sees that his life isn't great, and the guy almost directly says it's House's fault, so House offers to help financially. We learn the truth in the end, he was a doctor but wasted money gambling. House gives him the money anyways. There wouldn't be a House episode without a bit of Cuddy, so we see House still hating Lucas and cuts up some photos including the last photo taken by Cuddy's father. House is sorry, but he can't do anything about it. By the end of the episode, he sees them together. Yay...
13 has replaced Cameron as the judgmental person at Princeton Plainsburo, so she's fuming while the patient is lying her ass off. 13 basically tells the patient's husband the truth which gets her into hot water. The bigger issue is that 13 disagrees with Foreman the entire episode. Foreman finally apologizes and 13 seems to be back on board by the end of the episode.
Score: 8.7/10
