House M.D.: Help Me (2010)
Help me change.
This episode truly showed House's "soft" side. It described his need to change, the helplessness he feels in making a change. But most importantly, it shows his willingness to change.
I disagree with the previous statement that "they blew it". I believe they've done something quite on the contrary. This is one of the rare episodes in which viewers can understand House as a normal human being with feelings just like anybody else.
Of course there are some things like the secret Vicodin stash that were predictable. (But we see that in every movie, in every TV show... so what?) However, House opening his feelings about his leg pain, the consequences he has to bear with every day, him connecting with one of the rare patients, and of course seeing Cuddy and House getting romantically involved, even for maybe just a few episodes is a good even necessary change.
The show definitely becomes more interesting since we will now be able to watch their struggle to keep the relationship on. For those who do not want House to be only a genius and cynical character, this "change" will show another side of House, which I am sure most of House fans are eager to see.
Now we can follow the cases of the genius, cynical, sarcastic and romantic House. :)
I only hope that this does not mean the show is heading to a terminal end, like many other shows that are being canceled in the past few days.
