One show features a team of investigators led by a grumpy-but-lovable misanthrope solving bizarre mysteries, all the while dealing with their dysfunctional interpersonal dynamics. If they fail to solve this week’s mystery in time, innocent people die.

Write the crossover.
See? I CAN write brief OPs! And start threads that have nothing to do with my family, conquering the Earth, or Shelly Radley skipping rope naked!
Navy or Marine recruiter in New Jersey develops strange illness, winds up in Princeton/Plainsboro. After much investigation following typical House formula, it is determined he is infected with a very rare virus/bacterium. There’s no way he could have caught it naturally; he was most definitely deliberately infected. While conscious, the recruiter’s life hangs in the balance.
Local FBI are stonewalled by House, who makes continuous snark about jarheads/military in general. Cuddy mentions teleconference with high level Naval-types who are insisting on sending a team to investigate the homicide/attempted homicide.
End scene: House/Cuddy snarkiness in lobby. Front doors open, and in walks NCIS crew. Gibbs does…well, what Gibbs does. Ziva looks smokin’ hot, as usual. Palmer trips on the way in, falls flat on his face. Tony undressed Cuddy with his eyes.
NCIS has part 2:
The Team begins investigation, retracing with the House team all steps leading to diagnosis. Chase and Abby flirt. A lot. As do Tony and Cameron, who actually seems more inclined towards McGee. House ropes McGee into pirating expanded cable for his TV in his office. House snarks at Ducky’s banal trivia, but Ducky fires right back in his subtle, genteel English way. Gibbs and House lock horns over the time of day, color of grass and sky. Cuddy seems infatuated by Gibbs, in an attracted/repulsed way. Foreman looks alternately disgusted or bored with it all.
NCIS team uncovers domestic terrorist plot, and stops it in time, recovering the antidote to save the POW.
End scene: House and Gibbs glower at each other. Cuddy slips her card into Gibb’s coat pocket. Cameron gives McGee her number. Foreman and Ziva emerge from closet, clothing disheveled. Abby begins long-distance relationship with Chase, but it never works out. House actually shakes Ducky’s hand, and offers standing invitation to join his team.
It’s *always *lupus. That is House’s dark secet. His patients always have lupus, and he always knows it, and sneaks in late at night to treat them for it. Everything else is a smokescreen, like Scotty always multiplying his repair estimates by a factor of four.
He doesn’t need that cane, either. And the Vicodin? Actually Tic-Tacs.
I’m with you on everything but the implied criticism of Ms. Scuito in the bolded sentence, which is ridiculous. She’s about two inches south of perfect.
Also, it’s Abby and Gandhi. An abbey is a church associated with a nunnery or monastery. I don’t know what a Ghandi is, but it certainly isn’t the name of the Indian cleric who pioneered peaceful resistance in the 20th century.
Can the ill Marine show cancer symptoms so Wilson ends up checking on that but it’s not cancer or somehow the Marine has not yet died because he has cancer and it’s keeping the mystery illness in check?
I don’t keep up enough with House or NCIS to offer character interaction suggestions- just MacGuffins.
There’s no need for that. Wilson shows up without cancer being an issue all the time, because he’s mostly there to offer House person advice and to keep him from going off the rails. And his office is right next door to House’s, no?
And Ms. Sciuto would no doubt object to your rendering of her last name, although she’d probably forgive you and pat you on the head. And getting a pat on the head from her was, no doubt, your plan all along.
Excuse number 1: I live on a street with the word “Abbey” in it’s name, so that typo often happens to me.
Excuse number 2: I have no excuse for misspelling Gandhi’s name.
Anyway, just to be clear, Abby is the worst person on TV right now. Absolutely the most annoying character I have ever seen on any production in any medium ever. I include Jar-Jar in this evaluation.
