So far, season 3 bored me. I was confused with how House could walk normally, and the medical cases weren't as gripping as they used to be. This episode however, addressed all the right things. With House refusing to move on from his trauma, the way he identified with the autistic kid. And how his stalker (Leighton Meester in one of her early roles) was simply suffering from an illness, making her do and feel things she normally wouldn't. You also sense one of the most important plot for the rest of the series, his romantic involvement with Cuddy, throughout most of their scenes. Especially that heart to heart near the « fountain ». The « interns » were yet again in the foreground, but the storytelling was overall balanced and easy to get into. The last scene, with the Ben Harper song, was good. And not too heavy handed on the sentimentalism. I liked it.
