Or maybe she’s just a Catholic prostitute. In either case, I also hope we see her again. Her being a prostitute certainly doesn’t preclude her from having a relationship with House.

Her being a Catholic is a bigger obstacle.

Maybe I’m just sheltered but I don’t think there are too many donkey shows in the Princeton area. I have not seen one flyer.

They’re cleverly disguised. Whenever you see a sign that says “Arbys”, it’s actually a live donkey show.

Particularly if you’re going to star in the Donkey Show.

[QUOTE=Cluricaun]
Concieve of, certainly but regularly attend and participate in Catholic mass? Not so much.
[/QUOTE]
Eh, I knew a stripper who wouldn’t work on Sundays because she was Catholic. She also got pregnant by her live-in boyfriend. You never know. And she may have participated in the Christmas show because she is drawn to dramatic performance, not because she’s just that ultra-devout. I didn’t see anywhere that says she regularly attended (though she might have.)
I think she was a hooker, but also Catholic. I don’t think it’s as hard to believe as some of you do.

For those of you who are wondering who that actress was who played the hooker, she was in a story arc on **Nip/Tuck** last season as a nanny that Sean McNamara kept having sex with.
They killed her off with the ol’ “Bus driver doesn’t see her standing in the street directly in front of him” trick. See [here](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_6C1M5jYFI:).

I wish you’d spoiler-cut that, **Morbo**. I’m Netflixing _Nip/Tuck_ and am not yet up to last season.

Note to the people of HOUSE: Christmas shows should be aired in December or early January at the latest.

Okay, I think I’m getting a handle on this show. Don’t watch for the medical mystery, watch for House being House.

I suspect this is a result of the writer’s strike. Fox probably wanted to hold onto some fresh episodes to spread out over the rest of the season.
