Storyline

As House starts his search for a new team, an astronaut comes to him for help. She needs to be treated, without NASA finding out it's her. He puts his candidates to the test as they try to find out what's wrong with the patient. As he tries to protect his patient's identity from the hospital/Dr. Cuddy, House spots some members of his old team around the hospital, even though he knows they're working elsewhere now.

User Reviews

The game is starting...

House has to engage 3 doctors. A normal guy would conduct interviews and then pick 3 people. Well, we are talking of House. So take 30 or 40 doctors, put them in an big room, give them cases and fired them as you decide, for reasons sometimes as good as : who does not like vanilla ice-creams? You, you are a moron, you are fired! This part of the 4th season of House is probably the best of all the show! Prepare yourself, take food, drinks... because once the game starts, you will not switch off your tv until the end of it! As House said in episode 1 : WORLD CUP!
