Warning: Spoilers
After saying to all my friends, I fear that my blind journey into starting House without seeing any episodes before I'm noticing a pattern. It is becoming too formulaic.

An episode tends to go like this: -Patient comes in and the team are stumped

-The team unsuccessfully diagnose and wrongfully treat the patient

-House becomes Involved half way through

-The episode/Paitent tends to be saved via; Deus Ex MACHINA.

But this episode for me I guess was a turning point.

A woman is admitted into our familiar hospital from her high octane job of being CEO of an important company of hers. She is very proud, albeit very tough to treat because she is embarrassed about certain tests and treatments. The team do their usual day at work, however in the background of all this is a new rich entity within the hospital who wants to pump billions into treating the age old diseases. Funny subplots are in the periphery, neccisary comic relief. I won't give too much else away, for those who haven't seen it but I think the writing was ramped up in this episode.

*Spoiler*

The patient was the one on the heart transplant list, someone of which we thought House might need to be on himself, but it turns out he does have a great big working heart.
