    Hard to Watch

    This really strikes at our mortality. A little girl with a genetic precondition falls off a merry-go-round horse and is injured. At the time, she was bleeding. Her mother is a brilliant doctor who invades the team and takes over. She is separated from her husband and they fight over and over. Tough to watch.

    Meanwhile, Wilson has decided to take a super-aggressive approach to his cancer. He takes all his cancer stuff and goes to House's apartment where he goes through hell. We watch his pain. We watch House care for his best friend through a hell.

    I enjoyed the last minute so much. We hate House at times but this was a nice moment.

      Dr. Gregory House: Everybody lies.

      Dr. James Wilson: So the way I felt... You feel that what? Most of the time? Really does suck being you, doesn't it?

      Dr. Gregory House: At least I don't have cancer.
