**Digital Stimulus** , you’re right, which explains why the clip from the next episode is Cameron asking House **yet again** how he feels about her. And **Klondike** , IIRC, the line is “an abnormal growth in her abdomen.” It’s the word “abnormal” that makes it funny. ---

I dunno, he’s being a prick for no reason and the administrator-type is the same ineffectual anal-retentive cardboard cutout that does nothing but get in the way of House’s brilliant brilliance, as Chi McBride did. If there was a possibility of somebody just losing it and punching House’s lights out, I might keep watching. ---

Another “sexual content” factor is the interview with the 2nd woman candidate. Some mildy racy back and forth but then a line about An Unfortunate Act to A Sensitive Male Body Part. Don’t these people know the rule “Don’t get your honey where you get your money”? (Or one of the more vulgar equivalents.) They’re supposed to be smart. ---

> [@ftg](#): > > Don’t these people know the rule “Don’t get your honey where you get your money”? (Or one of the more vulgar equivalents.) They’re supposed to be smart. I’d always heard it as “don’t dip your pen in the company ink,” but apparently mileage varies. I’m anxious to see where the Cameron thing goes. I think the writers are smart enough to realize that an actual romantic relationship would ruin much of the show. By the way, the close-up of Jennifer Morrison’s face on the treadmill was the ONLY time I’ve seen her unattractive. I’d step over my dying mother for a shot with her. ---

Actually, Mr. Foster, the father of the teenaged PotW, did deck House a good one in “Detox.” and for all you Trek fans out there, you may have recognized Mark Harelik from his role as Inspector Kashyk in Voyager’s episode “Counterpoint.” ---

Well, if it’s not sexual harrassment it’s at least inappropriate. He’s taking a big risk by doing it, not just emotionally. If she said later that he made her go on a date with him to get her job back, who would believe it was really the other way around? Maybe I’m just having that thought because Cameron seems so cold lately. She hasn’t been acting nervous or unsure like she used to. It’s like she planned this all out and doesn’t really care about his response. Kinda creepy. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/house-05-03/302330.md?page=1)
