Trivia

House discusses with Wilson which 3 members, out of 4, he should hire & says that a team of 5 would be unwieldy. After the interview process was complete in season 4, House wanted to have a team of 5, himself, Foreman, Taub, Kutner, 13 & Amber. He was not allowed to have that many by Cuddy.

Goofs

Remy (Thirteen) gets a case detail faxed by House which she lets fall out of the fax machine tray on the floor since she is trying to ignore House. Later, she picks up the fax from the machine tray.

Quotes

Dr. Gregory House: Taub thinks it's a brain issue. Thirteen thinks it's multi-focal.
Dr. Eric Foreman: And neither of them wants to work here.
Dr. Gregory House: Don't take their word for it. Taub's problem is his wife. Thirteen's problem is you. Chase and Cameron's problem is the dead African dictator. None of them has a problem with the work.

Something stinks

TEAMWORK has House scrambling to assemble a team after he has been reinstated. The patient of the week is having all sortso f horrible things go wrong, possibly because he is an adult film star. But then again... TEAMWORK is the most tepid House episode in six seasons. I was bored from the start and could barely it to the end. House, whose bizarre Freddie Mercury haircut and unshaven face make him look like the looney he is inside, is a bully beyond all measure in this episode. Chase and Cameron go blah-blah-blah, and Foreman and 13 go blah-blah-blah. The series is clearly winding down, if this episode is any indication. I hate to see this once-great show go the way of ER, which outlived its usefulness by several seasons.
