> [@Superdude](#): > > Princeton Plainsboro is a teaching hospital. They’ve said that previously. Perhaps House’s parole/probation is contingent on him operating under Foreman’s license for the time being. His license may not have been revoked. It may have just been suspended, and he has to prove that all of his antics are truly behind him (a prospect I doubt, but it’s conceivable). That would make sense, but the name on the door at episode’s end was “Gregory House, MD,” not “Gregory House, Probational Consultant.” Of course, they might take titles as lightly as other procedures at PPTH… ---

There’s no proof that the entire \*series \*isn’t just a delusion that House has while in a Vicodin haze. But I’m willing to take it at face value. As long as that annoying Chinawoman doesn’t become a regular. Her whiny voice already has me on edge. ---

If nothing else, he could have been considered a consultant. ETA: This episode was screwed up on my DVR due to the baseball game, so I didn’t actually see this episode. I’m just speculating. ---

Her whiny voice already has me on edge. “Chinawoman”? 😕 \ _yep, it’s still 2011…_ \ Anyway, she’s Korean, not Chinese. And I like her. She’s much more interesting than Boring 13 and the Interchangeable Hotties. (Seriously, couldn’t they have found House another doctor who _doesn’t_ strongly resemble 13 and Cameron when she had dark hair?) ---

She’s not Korean, either, Mr. Sensitive. She’s Korean-Filipina. ---

In defense of Infovore, I would have posted something close if she hadn’t beaten me to it. Seriously, “Chinawoman” ?!? Tim does have an earlier point though - the final scene could well be an old tramp with House’s face turning up a bottle and sinking into another dream. Come to think of it, he may be headed there either way. ---

Just watched it, finally - my DVR messed up and it wasn’t available on Fox’s website until today. Aside from the lungs-in-a-box thing, OK episode, I guess, but I really think it’s jumped the shark unless things improve a lot. I can actually buy Foreman as dean of medicine, Cuddy was awfully young for such a role. Foreman is no younger, from all appearances (and I don’t think he was a resident as recently as 2 years ago (someone suggested 2 seasons ago he was a senior resident). The whole bit with springing him from jail with 12 hours to go was hard to buy - the passage of time seemed a LOT longer, they were knocking on the kid’s parents door in the nighttime, then it was daytime again, House was awakened early in the morning in prison and it takes a while to out-process someone… and I find it VERY hard to believe he’d ever have a license to practice again in that state.
