Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaJoel Grey, the actor who plays Ezra Powell, played the Wizard of Oz in the Broadway show "Wicked." As Dr. House examines Powell behind a blanket, House says, "Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain," a quote from The Wizard of Oz (1939).
- GoofsAfter Dr. Powell was awakened from his artificial coma and refuses to be further tested for nerve damage, House secretly touches both of Powell's ankles and we can observe the left leg reacting. Directly after, walking the hall with Foreman and Chase, House talks about "no sensation in the left leg, abdomen, right arm".
- Quotes
Dr. Gregory House: [House sees the Ducklings looking like crap after an all-nighter] What have you been doing all night?
Dr. Allison Cameron: Jello shots and wild sex, what else?

Featured review
Gritty episode
An almost unrecognizable Joel ("Cabaret"/"Remo Williams") Grey plays a world-famous researcher who collapses and nearly dies, and then wants House to "off" him on the QT. Not normally a moral dilemma for any veteran physician (I used to be a hospital employee, so I know), this particular case stops House from simply killing the guy as House scrambles to figure out a way to save him. The entire staff must come to grips with the issue of suicide and mercy killing, a common-enough hospital practice but not so common to House's young staff, especially the doe-eyed Cameron. Grey is great as the suffering senior. Again, I am being asked for more lines than I care to write. So in that case, let me point out it will be worth keeping a close eye on Cameron in this episode.
