Quotes:

Dr. Gregory House: [about House's ex-wife's new husband] He's my patient. I'm sure he's a good guy, he's probably a great guy. Probably a much better guy than I am. And some part of me wants him to die. I'm just not sure if it's because, I want to be with her, or if it's because I want her to suffer.

Outrageous behavior

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

In order to get Stacy's husband into the hospital for tests, House must resort to a rather unusual tactic. The scene in which he does so is both shocking and side-splittingly funny. Problem is, once House gets Mark into a hospital bed, Mark starts getting really, really sick and for awhile it appears Mark may not make it. Will House save the day? Or will he let Mark buy the farm in order to make a grab for Stacy? The last few seconds of this episode are a real heartbreaker, so be prepared. And they are done without dialog, in a manner that lets Hugh Laurie really demonstrate his acting chops. The delectable Sela Ward as Stacy has a way of either growing on you or making you wish she were dead. As her story arc progresses and winds down, you will have to decide for yourself. But I will say I for one would not be averse to her return someday.
