House was pretty eye-rolly. That's not what opiate overdose looks like. And one night of withdrawal, please.
I've been enjoying Bailey Chase quite a bit on Saving Grace, looking forward to Castle when I get a chance to watch it.

was that really one night of withdrawal? I didn't think it was possible that the writers wanted us to believe that.

It certainly seemed as if everyone else was at the hospital the whole time that Cuddy and House were at his place. If that wasn't what we were supposed to think, I need more clues.
Though I may have missed such hints while my eyes rolled into the hallway after the part where he decided not to bother with the really good treatments for opiate withdrawal that anyone in his right mind would take advantage of - even if he was set on detoxing at home with just Cuddy in attendance, she's a doctor, she could administer the meds.

Yeah, we've seen him detox before on this show, I think twice, and both times it was a several-day thing.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I certainly liked House last night, but I'm worried that it just jumped all kinds of shark.

actually, I thought this was the point. he wasn't in his right mind, he is self-loathing and guilty, afraid he was mentally ill and seriously addicted. I think he wanted to feel it all thinking this would get him back on track.

Yes. I'm waiting to see what happens next week, to see how they resolve it.

You think? That doesn't really sound like him, but it might make sense for him to think that's what he should do. It doesn't make sense for Cuddy to go along with it. Or I really don't like her character as much as I used to.
It won't bother me if they go somewhere interesting next week, though.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'm glad they brought Amber back. The actress is really great, and I love the places they've taken the character.

House wouldn't ask for help from his current and former minions. He's willing to be weak in front of Cuddy for some reason. I don't think he wants to involve Wilson because he's got Amber on his mind. Heh.
I can see him martyring himself by going through detox pretty much alone. If he has decided he's had enough of the drugs--and realizing that he can't trust his own mind, ie, Id!Amber giving him false information--I think he'd rather die than continue on. I've wondered if the Powers That Be were ever going to try and clean House up.
I wonder if his inability to figure out why Kutner killed himself is pushing him, too. What a serendipitous story line.
