Storyline

A surprising visitor makes House an offer he can't refuse by giving him the opportunity to help the Princeton Plainsboro team treat a unique patient in order to save the life of an organ recipient being treated by Wilson. Although House finds himself back on familiar ground, he quickly realizes that much has changed since he left, and he is forced to work on the case with smart yet timid resident Dr. Chi Park. After several inconclusive treatments and with time running out, House and Dr. Park are left with one last option to examine the patient's medical history that could compromise House's conditional agreement with the hospital. Meanwhile, House makes an effort to reconnect with Wilson despite a cold reception.

A great coming back

I have always been a fan of House MD, and I must say that I tough that without Dr Cuddy in the cast, the series will take a wrong way. This episode proves I was mistaken. I think is great how they managed to make a new hospital in the same place, but with different characters and positions. Foreman at Cuddy's place made sense to me. Wilson's attitude against House was very believable. And Dr. Chi Park was an interesting new character. Another think I did liked was that for first time since fifth season, I think, you really cared for the patient, and not just for House and his team. I think this will be a great last season of one of the greatest series ever.
