    House Upside Down
    This episode is all about trust. The Dr who's ill trusts House, Wilson trusts House. Their individual reasons are the fascination behind this episode.

    Dr Treibar is ill, he has studied the statistics related to all doctors at PPTH and House comes out on top. He wants House as his doctor.

    Dr Wilson is ill, he has 3 days before a scan that will tell him how long he has to live. He knows House is the worst friend ever but he is still his best friend. He wants House as his companion on a glory drive.

    This is a story of friendship and it's rather touching in it's complex simplicity.

    To say more would give stuff away but it really is an episode that made me understand why Wilson has stayed friends with House all these years.
