    Frustrating, albeit very well portrayed

    This episode does a thorough deep dive into yet another focal character in this series of 'Wilson' and does a good job at showing the pros and cons that surround being too emotionally involved with a patient.

    The patient was frustrating from the beginning (House sets it up that way so it's always in the back of your mind) your justified frustration is rewarded by the end of the episode which adds to how masterfully it was written.

    This episode as well as many others in season 6 have taken on a first person view of key characters that aren't 'house' and 'the team' which makes it endearing to watch. We see Wilson amplify his personality traits and learn that, sometimes that can be toxic. Frustrating but valuable in this season.

    best one all season

    you know it's hard to see house going anywhere with a story especially after having watched the previous episode which focused more on houses necessity to be vindictive rather than the patient itself. which brings me to the point that the writers have got the show back on track with this truly engaging episode that i thought was the best i've seen all season for its unique approach for the first time(watch it to see what i mean) and its focus more on the case than on the personal issues of the characters of the show. i know now that my worries about house md becoming a soap opera are unfounded and that the MD in house MD is indeed necessary to be there instead of the show becomes "the life and lies of gregory house". big thumbs up, i hope it goes like this for the rest of the season, and once again robert sean leonard proved that even if hes a supporting actor he can truly act and act he does, making us love Wilson the character even more and lending it more focus and elaboration than previously imagined.

    • Trivia
      According to the commentary, it was Hugh Laurie's idea for House to be playing George Michael's "Faith" at the beginning of the episode.
    • Goofs
      While operating on Wilson's patient Chase says that inspection of the lungs indicates that he has PCP Pneumonia, then says he doesn't have a fungal infection, which is what they were looking for. However PCP Pneumonia is a fungal infection, it is short for Pneumocystis Pneumonia and is an infection caused by the yeast like fungus Pneumocystis jirovecii. This fungi is normally harmless in healthy people but those with compromised immune systems, such as people with HIV/AIDS, cancer patients receiving chemotherapy, or people on immune suppressants, are susceptible to the fungus invading their lungs.
    • Quotes

      Dr. James Wilson: The operation is in 2 hours. I'd like you to be there.

      Dr. Gregory House: [Long pause] No.

      Dr. James Wilson: What? Why?

      Dr. Gregory House: Because if you die, I'm alone.
