Well written, with good jokes and surprising twists, and the different setting (the CIA for half the episode) is a nice change. One must note, however, the utterly stupid notion developed in the end that Brazil stops for carnival for 40 days. It doesn't. Yes, I am Brazilian, take my word for it. I can't believe they could not find a less stereotypical and - frankly - insane plot device to make House find out that the patient was actually in Brazil.
The episode also shows that, without House, all other doctors put together - the old and the new gang - are essentially a group of bumbling idiots that either can't diagnose the simplest problems or cannot figure out the most obvious foul play. Which was fun. Quite within the spirit of the series, which is not exactly about the collective.
