"A dying patient insists that he has the same disease affecting his heart that killed his father and grandfather at the age of 40. Meanwhile, House discovers that he has a hearing problem while trying to duck student rounds."
The second half of the synopsis is misleading. :p House thinks he's hallucinating again because he hears whispering. It turns out to be Wilson, who "talks" to Amber before he goes to sleep. That's the best part of this episode, which gives viewers great House/Wilson moments.
House-the-jerk reappears for a bit as he tries to avoid doing rounds to get his medical license back. He annoys Cuddy, and she worries about him.
Patient of the Week- he was a bit of a jerk, but the case was interesting and led to a big shocker moment- he is thought to be dead, but jumps up screaming as Foreman starts the autopsy. It was a scary, funny, and sad scene all at once!
Chase is really losing it after the dictator disaster, and Cameron begins to notice. I think this marriage is going down the tubes fast!
Very good episode. The House/Wilson stuff put it over the top. Poor, poor Wilson. He still misses Amber.

Arrrgghhhhhhhhhh!
Why, oh, why, oh why did I watch SVU (episode Hammered) last night? I wanted to throw my T.V. out of my window! That was lame. At least that's the end of Christine Lahti's annoying ADA. I should have known she was a drunk!
House just sort of flew by me this week. And I missed the last 15 minutes of Bones tonight. Where has my brain gone?
I spent most of the afternoon watching the coverage of "Balloon Boy"- a kid from Fort Collins, Colorado (where I went to college) supposedly got caught in his dad's homemade helium weather balloon and flew around for a couple of hours. Turns out he was hiding in his home's attic all along. *rolls eyes* Another day spent by the news networks on a story that really was meaningless...when there was so much else going on today. Oh, well.

Misc. notes- House and Bones
Last week's House- Epic Fail: House returns to Princeton Plainsboro, announcing he will make big changes in his life. Meanwhile, House's team can't diagnose a new patient who's obsessed with posting each and every one of his symptoms over the Internet.
Once again, this is an episode where the case isn't anywhere near as interesting as House interacting with Wilson and Cuddy, who are driven nuts by his "new ways".
This week's- The Tyrant: House's team struggles with an African politician (James Earl Jones) who falls ill and decide if they want to help him after he's charged for crimes against humanity in his country. (TV.com)
Great episode with the always great James Earl Jones as an evil dictator. House is still on the sidelines, observing but offering advice. Foreman and Chase butt heads on the dictator's treatment, and Cameron struggles with her conscience.
Oh, my God. I can't believe that ending. Chase actually tricked Foreman into the wrong treatment, resulting in the death of Evil Dictator! This is going to change a lot...I know Cameron is leaving, so does that mean Chase's actions drive her away?
*************
I just watched a repeat of a Bones episode where Bones and Booth are undercover at a circus. All I could think of during the circus scenes was the 30's movie Freaks- the wedding dinner scene: "We accept her! One of us! Gobble gobble! One of us!" Somehow, Bones fit right in...

Last week's episode, The Plain in the Prodigy, was sad. An Amish teen's remains are found near a railroad track, and the team investigates how his persuit of playing music (forbidden by the Amish) may have led to his death. This one isn't murder for a change- it's an accident resulting from a robbery.
Still thinking "Ew! Ew! Ew!" about the second episode of the season- The Bond in the Boot. Great story about a murdered CIA analyst and a dead Russian (possibly a spy). And it had the most icky but hilarious beginnings the show's ever done- with Mr. Russia's corpse becoming an all-you-can-eat buffet for a colony of feral cats. "Why are those cats staring at us?!"
