"I hate this kid"

House was back and focusing on the case again. Yes, the Foreman stuff was there but in a small, more tolerable dose. That subplot in fact, turned into an hour-long Shaggy video as everyone claimed "it wasn't me" when questioned whether they sabotaged Foreman's job interview. Again, we all know he's staying, so the question becomes in what capacity. Does he just stay in the same spot and suck it up, or does he take Cuddy's lucrative offer, which would make for some very interesting storylines in the future.

As for the actual case, I think the writers had fun coming up with nasty lines for someone other than House. You had to feel for the poor mother who had to take all of that abuse and had no father to knock some kindness into him. House's chess match with the kid was a cool curmudgeon showdown. In the end they found out what's wrong (natch), but couldn't solve the kid's attitude. Now the mother has to deal with that, plus tend to his condition as well. Some gals have all the luck.

By the way, you can add "urine turning to blood" as another thing I never want to see on a TV show again, along with last week's "brains exploding out the back of your head".
