Too tired and lazy to look up the title, but here is the thread. ---

Judging by the last minute of the previous episode, I’d call this one “House Fucking Well Loses It”. ---

at least there’s a good deal of Chase in the episode ---

That was a _funny_ episode. I loved the slow reveal that Wilson didn’t have his pants at the party. And that he was arrested walking home pantless, from his own apartment. During the opening, the deaf kid was talking to his girlfriend and his name was called for the wrestling match. He signs to the girlfriend that he has to go. But he wouldn’t have heard his name called. Also the use of the lighting/glowing effects were inconsistent, appearing sometimes when the ghost of Wilson’s girlfriend wasn’t depicted as being present. But I love to nitpick and little things like that didn’t take away from the continuous laughs in this one. I haven’t seen a network comedy that consistently funny this season. ---

> [@well\_he\_s\_back](#): > > at least there’s a good deal of Chase in the episode This is always a very good thing. 😃 Both the patient-of-the-week and his girlfriend did an excellent job. I also was glad to see CTB again. And as always, Wilson takes the cake. He deserves a spin-off series. ---

The actress who played the patient’s mom was the daughter (Kelly) on _ **Coach** _. I loved that House made sure Wilson attended the bachelor party by throwing the party at Wilson’s apartment. Drunk Wilson was awesome! ---

Pretty good stuff. And CTB/Subconscious isn’t done messing with House’s psyche yet. ---

Good lord, Ghost of CTB is hot. And I enjoy the fact that they seem to have made her _evil_ as well, just when it seemed like she was gonna be Casper the Friendly Hallucination. Also - this was the first ep in which Thirteen was really funny. ---

What was it that the deaf kid said to Thirteen after she gave his girlfriend directions to the bathroom? She responded with something like “it takes time.” ---

> [@Mr.Excellent](#): > > Good lord, Ghost of CTB is hot. Did anyone else think she looked a bit… preggers? She wore a labcoat most of the time, her face looked kind of “full”, and I swear I saw a belly towards the end. I kept expecting House to comment, “Okay, so why is my hallucination of my best friend’s dead girlfriend pregnant?” ---

> [@panache45](#): > > Setting the corpse on fire. 😃 “Ever seen _Caligula?_” 😃 I loved the team straggling in drunk and Cuddy handing out breath mints so they could go on duty to treat patients. So Wilson knows Karamel the stripper just by hearing her call his name. :dubious: And Taub between the two strippers reminded me of Wormser in Revenge of the Nerds, dancing with the Omega Mus. Foreman and Thirteen are supposed to be a _couple_ and they go to a strip bar and watch strippers and they don’t even have enough chemistry to hold hands. I demand that Wilson be pants-free for the entire next episode. Oh, and **Lightnin’** , Anne Dudek had a baby over the winter. ---

Lotta good stuff in that ep. The burnt corpse and the whole party scene were some of the funniest things I’ve seen in a while. And Chase asking to be kidnapped! Really ugly if House’s subconscious actually tried to off Chase! :eek: Never a CTB fan. And, on a purely physical level, always thought she had one of the least attractive faces on TV. Nice pair of stems, tho, wich they clearly were trying to feature. Anyone have any idea what they were doing with all those flaming shots - other than possibly burning down Wilson’s apt? ---

Well, they were trying to show off Hugh Laurie’s flaming-bottle juggling skills, which are impressive. And why do that without a tower of burning Sambuca? ---

‘chemical burns’ Heh. Haven’t watched House in a good long while, but that was fun. ---

> [@Sigmagirl](#): > > Well, they were trying to show off Hugh Laurie’s flaming-bottle juggling skills, which are impressive. And why do that without a tower of burning Sambuca? You know, the first time he juggled the flaming bottle, I thought it looked very CG. The second time, it looked a lot more real. I wonder if they faked the fire in the first scene because it was so well-lit? ---
