Season 6 episode 7 - Known Unknowns

No thanks to baseball, we've been without House for 3 weeks now. The least I can say is that no one cares if the Yankees won another world series, no one likes the doping cheaters, but thankfully that's over and House is back. This episode was interesting to say the least, lets start with a quick recap.

There were 3 different stories happening at the same time.

The patient was a young teenage girl that fainted because of sever inflammation of her joints. House had a theory, which ended it being semi-correct, it ended up being one of the symptoms of what the girl had. The biggest problem was, there was so much inflammation in the girl's brain that she was incapable of telling the truth (not that House expected her to anyways). Later on, House has an epiphany while talking to Wilson and discovers that the girl has hemochromatosis. Feel free to read more about it on google health at the following link: https://health.google.com/health/ref/Hemochromatosis

The second sub-story was Chase and Cameron's relationship and what was going on. Chase was still killing himself over what had happened with Dibala and had yet to tell Cameron about it (Thus effecting their relationship). Cameron continues to question why Chase is being so distant from her. She asks Foreman if he's having an affair, etc... Later on after the case came to a close, Chase decided to finally tell her that he was responsible for Dibala's death, and thus came the end of the episode.

The third and probably main sub-story of the episode was that House, Wilson and Cuddy all went out of town to a pharmaceutical conference. This sub-story in itself has 2 different sub-sub-stories. The first was House dealing with Wilson. Wilson was suppose to give a speech at the conference, House then finds the speech and discovers that Wilson is about to commit career suicide by admitting that he had euthanized a patient before in his career. We had met the patient earlier in the episode, but we didn't discover that was him until House decided to drug Wilson and to say his speech for him (under a different name). After fighting House for a while, Wilson later admitted how grateful he was to House for sharing his speech and preventing him from putting his career on the line. House was also, at the same time, trying to tell Cuddy that he cares for her. Cuddy, of course, was reluctant to accept his feelings - we discover later that its because she has started a relationship with Lucas (detective that House hired last season to investigate his team).

It was an interesting episode to say the least, for the first time ever in 6 seasons, we're seeing more and more of House's vulnerable side. His true feelings for Cuddy are coming out and in this episode, we see how far back they go. His care for his best friend Wilson are coming out and those were shown by how far he was willing to go to protect him, him medical license and his reputation. Even his feelings for his former team are coming out when he was trying to help Chase and Cameron in his own weird manipulative way. They're trying to show House as a changed person, but really they're just showing him as the person that we've known him to be all along. We've always seen these glimpses of House in previous episodes in previous seasons, but they were always masked by his antics. We can only wonder where the writers will go from here...

The next episode of House will air next Monday Nov 16th on Fox at 8pm.

As always, here is the preview:

House Season 6 Spoilers

OK! so we last saw Dr. House walking into the mental institution. He was hallucinating seeing Amber, Kutner and having sex with Cuddy. Season 5 kind of left us with a pretty bitter taste in our mouths, so what should we expect of our favorite doctor for season 6. Here are some of the main spoilers that I've put together from various sources.

For those of you who are not into computers and the internet and aren't (or too lazy) to research and try and figure out what is about to happen or what they think is about to happen on season 6, here are some spoilers

So from here on out - SPOILER ALERT!

- The 2-hour Season 6 premier is going to start off right where season 5 left us, House walking into the mental institution. (where House debuts his partially shaved head).

- The first few episodes (or more) will be surrounding House in the mental institution. Of course he will think he is well enough to go back to work and his doctor will of course disagree. While back at the plantation house (Princeton Plainsboro Teaching Hospital) Foreman is in charge of the team, and obviously everyone will be second guessing him as well as second guessing themselves.

- Wilson's love life will be further explored this season, according to Robert Sean Leonard (Dr. Wilson), his love life this season will be "anything but non-existent"

- And finally, of course, what's going to happen with Huddy? Well since Cuddy and House never did actually have sex, apparently now there is still a chance that they're going to get together this season.

Now I will repeat myself, these are UNCONFIRMED spoilers from other that I've put together for everyone to read and think about.

Check out the most recent previews for the upcoming season 6 which will premier on Sept 21st at 8pm on Fox
