House: Out of the Hospital

Monday night the second episode of House was on, the title of this episode was "Epic Fail". It was much better than the season premiere. It had a better story than the premiere and the rest of the characters were in the episode not just House. Since House was released from the hospital he returned to his hospital to return to his post as head of the Department of Diagnostic Medicine. House has a team of doctors that he hand picked to work for him as a diagnostic team. When a patient with mysterious symptoms comes in they are referred to House and his team, so that they can figure out what is wrong with him. There are three people on his team the first and most experienced member is Dr.Foreman, the second member of his team is Dr.Hadley she tells everyone to call her "Thirteen" because she is dying and thought that it would make her stand out during the application process, and the final member of his team is a former plastic surgeon named Dr. Taub. The director of the hospital is Dr. Cuddy and House's best friend is Dr. Wilson.

After House gets out of the hospital he returns to his job at the hospital only so that he can tell Cuddy that he needs to make changes to his life and the first change is that he is quitting. once House quits and leaves the room Foreman asks Cuddy if he can have House's job. With Foreman as the new head of the department the other two doctors on his team think that they can act differently now that House is gone. Their patient for this episode was a video game developer and he was posting his symptoms online so that he could get other doctors opinion on his condition because he thought that he would be getting treated by House. Foreman started to treat the other two doctors badly because they where acting different and that this case was his only shot at keeping the department running. House on the other hand is at home trying to find a new hobby after he went to cooking classes and got sick of doing that all the time. House is now living with Wilson so that Wilson can make sure that House is not taking anymore pain killers. After Thirteen comes to Houses apartment to complain about how Foreman is treating them she tells him that the patient is posting his symptoms online. House was trying for the entire episode to find away to make the pain in his leg go away without taking pain killers and he could not find one that lasted for a long enough time. At the end of the episode after Foreman figures out the problem with his patient he found out that Thirteen went and checked the return posts from doctors and stopped the treatment. Foreman was upset that she stopped treatment before he could tell her to. The only way House could find a way to get rid of his pain was to solve old cases. House was the one who posted the solution on the patients blog. Foreman thought that it was not Thirteen's place to stop treatment before he could tell her to, so he fired her at the end of the episode. I liked this episode much better than the premiere because there was the rest of the characters , more of a story and there was the puzzle of the doctors trying to figure out what is wrong with the patient. I liked the fact that for once Foreman, Thirteen, and Taub had to figure out a case without the assistance of House. I would give this episode of House a 4 out of 5
