Not a procedural. C'mon, folks, let's pick this up somewhere else.

Interesting House. Chase was even more of an idiot than usual with the implant, though. Also, no way can you just add an implant into a brain surgery that you weren't planning it for. Way more prep is needed.

And, I really don't think it's possible to pull out a cochlear implant like that. The part on the outside is attached by a magnet to a part under the skin. If you pull that off, not much happens -- people take them off all the time for swimming and showering and stuff. I'm not sure what you could do that would cause that much blood, other than tearing out the stitches, but that wouldn't actually damage the implant. And you generally can't turn it on until a few weeks after the surgery, anyway, so he wouldn't have woken up hearing like he did.

Oh! And he probably wouldn't have to change schools, and he probably would have known that. After getting an implant, people need a whole lot of speech and auditory therapy -- which they frequently get at a school for the deaf. And I'd bet that most deaf schools now have at least a few kids who have implants -- depending on a whole bunch of factors, even for kids who get the implants as babies, a deaf school is sometimes a better environment than mainstreaming.

So, Hallucination!Amber is House's worst tendencies brought to life. At least now he knows he can't trust this angle on his brain.

This was my least favorite Castle thus far. I thought the case story was weak , but the character stuff was pretty good.

I thought even the character stuff on Castle was a bit weak. The mystery really was lame, and don't tell me that cops wouldn't realize that a borrowed SS number means that someone is running from something in their past, although I originally thought witness protection program, not fake ID.

I thought witness protection program too.

But if a protected witness had been murdered - wouldn't the FBI been on the scene pretty quickly?

House has the best hallucinations. Now his own id can't be trusted.

"It's Foreman's case."
"We could kill him."
"His mother won't allow it."
"We could kill her."

"I think he's going to hit us."
"Do you have better eyesight than I do?"

And when he finally gets a night's sleep and thinks he's fine--then turns around and sees Hallucination!Amber... Is House more than a little insane or does he just have an over-developed guilt complex and a very active mental life?
