House 4/16: We need the eggs

A patient’s tears are…blood.

Also, some drama with Domenika and House.

Someone will have “plastic children.” :smiley:

House finds the perfect woman… fixing his blender. I got you, babe…

When they were doing Amy’s “procedure,” was Chase actually taking her temperature, orally? It looked like it, and totally cracked me up.

And “I Got You, Babe.” I love Park.

I guess that’s what it was supposed to look like at first. But then we see that he is just swabbing her mouth.

This was a hilarious episode! I liked how they were kind of treating the doll as if she was an actual patient! Didn’t they dress her in a paper examining-room gown?

I was terrified at the end of the show with Park in an apartment, I was afraid it was Chase’s apartment! I’m glad she found a friend (and hopefully it will develop into something more) - the duet was sweet. It was refreshing to see young people doing something fun together other than hanging in a bar and hooking up.

And…next week, more green-card wife. I’m wondering if the writers are going to let the show go out on a whimper instead of a bang - could it be possible House and his “wife” develop real feelings and just decide to live happily ever after??? Where’s the angst, the pain, the drama???

Yes. For once the horrible and tired cliche of the sappy song over the ending montage had a reason for being there.

It looked like House threw out a letter from INS telling Domenika that her green card application had been approved. So it looks there will be some angst coming up when she discovers House wouldn’t give her the choice to stay with him or leave.

. . . in Moscow.

Would the green-card wife have authority to make medical decisions for House if he’s considered impaired? I could see them going for an ending where House develops real feelings for her. Then she’ll have to consent to a leg amputation to save House’s life, and he ends up hating her.

Thought this one was funny and oddly touching at the same time.

Did I miss something, or was there no explanation for the episode title (“We Need the Eggs”)? Or was that supposed to refer to the faux surgery they did on the doll?

Possibly because one of the hookers mentioned that “Annie Hall” was her favorite Woody Allen movie and that line was in a quote by Allen’s character, Alvy.

And I guess that’s why the POTW and the others have the relationships they do. They need the eggs.

It’s also the last line in the movie, I think.

Thanks very much, cochrane; that makes a lot of sense (guess you can tell I’m not up on Woody Allen trivia).

The line also appeared in the show. House gave it in a list of acceptable reasons for choosing Annie Hall as your favorite Woody Allen movie (instead of “Umm…'cause it’s the most popular?”).

It took me a second to realize that the kid who played Micah was the lead singer of Fall Out Boy.

The girl in the hallucination of the doll come to life? I know where I’ve seen her before: an ep. of Criminal Intent, the one where a heist ring kills some college students so they can burrow into the diamond safe next door from their basement. She was the girlfriend of the main bad guy, the one Bobby convinced had contracted AIDS.

She’s looking really good in this ep. …

Given that the sex doll did not play a role in the disease and wasn’t necessary to the story, I think someone on the writing staff wanted one and was able to write off the US$5000 as an expense.

I still can’t see where the series is leading us to. The finale is May 21st, probably less than five episodes from now. Many guest stars, which indicates flashbacks. Maybe House is on the operating table having his leg cut off and he hallucinated the last eight seasons. And he and Wilson turn out to be a couple. I just don’t think the payoff is going to be that great after this long a run and with so few episodes to tie it together.

Did it say she was approved or NOT approved. I didn’t get a good look at it but I thought it said rejected in it and House threw it out because he wanted that last bit of time with her.
