<SPOILERS> There really wasn't anything much dealt with regarding the ex and her new husband. The episode centered on the 3 stories, each of which apparently reprensented House himself when he was a patient. Doc Cuddy (sp?) suggested they amputate his leg, which he vehemently disagreed with. He was told that even if they didn't amputate, he'd be in chronic unbearable pain for the rest of his life. He still said "pshaw" (I paraphrase). There was a "middle ground" where they would remove the necrotic tissue and he would get to keep the leg, but chances were against it ever being functional. Again, he said nay. He then asked to be put into a chemical-induced coma (I've been in a few of those during college...very fun) in order to get some rest because the pain was so unbearable. At this point, Sela Ward had...I forget the exact title, but essentially had the right to make medical decisions on his behalf since he was now incapacitated...and she chose to go the 'middle ground' (remove the dead muscle/tissue). Cuddy (again, sp?) told her that she was "saving his life", but she said he wouldn't see it that way. So anyway, his lecture to the class was actually about himself (Foreman, Chase, and Cameron ended up sitting in towards the end, as well as the other doc...the oncologist guy). I suppose that during the lecture he came to the realization that Sela -did- in fact save his life, and after class, on his way back to the office, he called her and said, "bring your husband in tomorrow." End of episode. All in all, a very good episode with some fantastic acting by Hugh Laurie. Hard enough to pull off a foreign accent...harder still when you're acting as if you're in intense, unbelievable pain but still need to maintain the accent). It also seemed to give his 'team' a little bit of insight into his past and why he's such a bitter man. Really looking forward to the season finale (which will be bittersweet since it also means I'll have to wait until Sept for more House episodes). </SPOILERS> -- Charlie Griefer ================================================ "...All the world shall be your enemy, Prince with a Thousand Enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you.
