Goofs
In the scene where Eve and House are in the park, a brief shot shows the IV line in Eve's hand, which is inserted the wrong way round. It is pointing towards her arm, meaning the needle was inserted towards her fingers, but it should be the reverse.

Okay, I have just officially gone back and watched, in full sequential order, the first 86 episodes of House just to make sure I filled in all of the gaps I missed over the seasons and I can confidently say that this episode was the worst.
Mostly I blame the actress they chose, something about Katheryn Winnick's delivery just made me roll my eyes over and over. There was something missing in her portrayal, or maybe it was a tendency to over-act. I don't know. I just was annoyed the whole time I watched this episode, most importantly when Katheryn's character was on screen.
I don't know who the h*** decided this episode was worthy of 10 stars, but maybe they need to also go back and start from square one and follow the show from House's first snarky entrance to the screen.
I don't rate this episode down because it was 180 degrees from House's character, or for the topics and issues that were tackled- rather, just the storyline of this girl, something about it was pure nails on a chalkboard. Not even in the same sense of Tritter. I would gladly welcome another episode with such radically polarized issues- I love debate and controversy.
Tritter I was entertained and really got to see House firing on all cylinders against someone that I could really cheer House on to fight with the gloves off. It was awesome. During this story... I literally can't even explain it, except for poor execution in acting skills- not from Laurie, not from any of the main cast.
This was literally the one episode that I couldn't wait to finish. I felt trapped in my seat, held against my will. But because I'm kind I did my best to give it my best and ... in the end, it was a relief to me when it was over!
