Quotes
Dr. Eric Foreman: You can't blame yourself for her death. This wasn't your fault.
Dr. Gregory House: THAT'S THE POINT! I did everything right. She died anyway! Why the Hell do you think that would make me feel any better?
Dr. Eric Foreman: You shouldn't be alone right now... You're bleeding.
Dr. Gregory House: I'm going to give you a task as an employee: get out of my way!

This is the best episode of the series. There are many puzzling, mind-blowing episodes of House. We all love them. But never before or after an episode hits you this hard.

The main theme of this season was "Do everything right and things still go bad." And the main theme of the episode was exactly that. The patient even says something like that. Doimg everything right, treating everyone nice yet a building collapses on you.

I like this show because underneath the brainy surface there is an emotional core. Chase is usually at the center of the emotional scenes and parts. Sometimes it's House and sometimes the others.

The best one is this episode. We buy that Hugh Laurie can play a genius but he can also play a guy who just lost his mind brilliantly.

Overall, I know there are more experimental, more sophisticated episodes but this one hit me the most, so I declare that, for me, this is the best episode of House.
