Bitch if you wish about the episode, but I'll say this: I LIKED THIS EPISODE AND I ADORE SEASON 4 AND I FEEL NO SHAME.

Making icons with these, as always, is fine. Give my time-wasting some purpose!

HOUSE, MD
Sometimes House is insanely adorable.



Lulz. Also Cameron's only appearance in this episode. Wow.


Gratuitous shot of Volakis because I SHALL MISS HER.


Although us Cut-Throat Bitch fans might be able to rejoice: [Spoiler] "Even though Cutthroat Bitch was the final doc voted off House's island last night, I have it on good authority that we have not seen the last of Anne Dudek on House. For more on that, head over to my Ausiello Report blog later today." It's Ausiello, so I take it with a grain of salt. But hope.


WHERE'S WILSON?





THERE HE IS!


"What do you think of Amber?" (Seriously, why is she the only one called by her first name???)


More Wilson. "I screwed up a diagnosis."


House makes himself at home. "WTF NO WAI."


Shifty eyes.


Notes Wilson doesn't seem upset.


Mmm, Wilsonnnnn...






"He's gonna live! =D =D =D"


"Medical clemency. Interesting."
"WHY DO YOU USE THAT WORD D=<"


"Because I'm interested. DUH, WILSON."


"Most people would say 'good.'" Remember when House said he's not "every guy"? Yeah, Wilson. Give it up.


"WHY CAN'T YOU BE HAPPY FOR ME D="


Off House goes to crush Wilson's moment of joy, forgetting why he came here in the first place.



I miss her already. =(


But, back to Wilson!


...And House is never far away.


Poor Wilson.


"Who's your colleague?" IF I GET WHAT YOU MEAN...oh, you don't? Oops.


Remember the promo pic for Alone? The one where House was two inches from sitting in Wilson's lap?


See, I was rewatching some S1 episodes the other day, and I realized every time House puts on a lab coat, it's a different one. One looked like Wilson's, one had a pocket protector, this one has big, ugly buttons...does he just steal them from random people?


Wilson silences House with his hand motions again.


Oh man, he's so excited. Poor thing.


House knows this won't end well for the one with huge eyebrows.


"You're cancer-free =D =D =D"




Okay, I just decided I'm going hunt down RSL and make him my sex slave. Is that wrong?



Underappreciated humorous moment: "I dun get it."


"......cool."


"WHY GOD. WHY CAN'T I HAVE THIS MOMENT OF JOY???? I THOUGHT I WAS ONE OF YOUR CHOSEN PEOPLE."




Second time this season they share the same expression. Are they getting even more in sync?


Oh, and I do believe this whole situation counts as a No Reason reference.


No words for how much I love this shot.


;_; I swear Wilson is the most tortured character on the show. At least with House, it's usually his own damn fault. *tries to pet Wilson only to realize he's not real*


Stuttering.


Wilson's brain hurts.


Come on, this is just made of win.


Bye bye, my temporary ship! I hope [spoiler] that spoiler is true and Volakis comes back to sex up Taub. ANYTHING.


I think I'd be more excited about Thirteen staying if Volakis did, too, since I love their random hate for each other.


UH OH. WHERE'S HOUSE?



Something for the Foreman/Chase lovers.


Sitting pretty close there, dude.


Chase thinks he's manly. (BRING BACK THE MANLY STUBBLE, DAMNIT.)


"Did you wander over here to annoy me?"
"You're not wearing a lab coat. House doesn't wear a lab coat, does he?" Translation: YES.


Realizes she's wrong.


"The rep was a thirtysomething babe."
"Thank you. I got her hips." House is trying to get Kutner to lech on him XD


"Why do you hate drug addicts?" Volakis then goes on to totally not answer the question.


"Your situation is different."
"I know, I'm fabulous." I've been waiting for the day House would use the word "fabulous." =D


This scene is excellent. After this, I knew I wouldn't be able to cope with the loss of the Bitch.



"....SOMETHING." I LOL'd also because House said a similar thing in an earlier episode.



Interesting...


Thirteen was a little too Cameron in this scene, ick. But I like Taub and that he is older, closer to House's age, so he knows where he stands in life.


Wilson wonders whether House is trying to punish his ears.




House's current addiction: sitting in Wilson's chair.


Lulz.


"A profit-seeking entity released this?" I'm going to have to quote that. For all eternity.


TAKE IT OFF, WILSON. TAKE IT ALL OFF. PLEASE?





Wilson's ass. Yes, I'm going to point out every time it's visible.


Good god, how often has House been in Wilson's office this season?




[insert something witty] because I'm getting too hungry to jot down the dialog.



Should probably get a snack. I'm just thinking incoherent thoughts of how much of love this.


Wilson's gonna poke someone's eye out.


Frustrated wife.



"You caught me, House. I was going to buy a manwhore..." Yeah, I wish.


RSL makes too many faces, I can't catch them all!


"THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE I WRITE CHECKS TO." Worst. Lie. Evar.


KARATE CHOP! HI-YAAAA!!! ...okay, I'll go eat something.


Gorgeous, gorgeous eyes.


Wilson uses money to relieve his guilt. That explains the alimonies...


Not only did Thirteen interrupt, SHE DIDN'T EVEN KNOCK.


100 CAPS. I SHOULD STOP, BUT I CAN'T.



House assaults Wilson's ears again. I don't think I've uttered the phrase, "What a bitch" so much during an episode before.


And then everyone wonders where the piano came from.


"He's not going to run the tests."
"No, I don't think so."


Patient doesn't care if he lives or dies? I think that counts as a 97 Seconds reference.


Aw, he looks so small...


Wilson is confuzzled as to why the dude doesn't want his money.


"Because you think it'd be wrong to take money from me...?" He so desperately wants to believe there are good people left in the world.


Nope, he wants to sue your pretty ass.



Confused again.




Then House and Taub team up against Chase. Poor thing. But it was awesome.


Chase says keep Taub and Amber. Chase is smart. He can make it go. *waits to see how many get that one*


I think I'm going to have to erect a fansite in honor of her. Yes.


Proof there is something deeply wrong with House: HOW CAN HE LISTEN TO THAT CRAP?


Wilson. Blinds closed. Sex, yes?



"What sort of a lawyer tells his client that he's got a case because he's going to live?"


Accidental screen shot of awesome.


"I don't think this guy even has a law degree."


"I think he's got a medical degree."



Not only do you suck at being able to tell when Wilson lies, you apparently suck at lying to him, too, now.


He looks like he wants to cry =(


And now he's going to kill. "I am trying to take responsibility!"


"And I'm trying to teach you that everyone is out for theirs! You might as well keep yours."
"And lend it to you?"


House has no response.


"You have to control everything!" Even though you actually do, Wilson...


Shit. I don't think Wilson looked this mad even in Whac-a-Mole...


"How come you're going around asking everyone who you should fire?"


"I'm asking for input! I thought you would've admired the humility."


"You like games because you can control them."



"You like what's interesting, never mind if it's real or good."


"You want to know why you offered that guy six grand?" Getting in Wilson's face. Hot. (What? I get off on them arguing.)


"Life just happens, and that scares the hell out of you!"


Then it goes really fast. "You think you can cure pain!"


"You think you can avoid pain!" (Hot. Hot. Fucking hot. Sorry.)


"You think you're responsible for every failure, every patient's boring life, every friend's screwed up--"


"You don't want to face it any more than my patient does. Dying's easy, living's hard!" (What's that? Do I hear even more continuity?)


Pause.


"That can't possibly be as poignant as it sounds." Yeah, House, try to blow off that comment with sarcasm...


This look honestly sent chills down my spine. Yikes.


KUTNER'S ON TO YOU.


No one fights as intensely as these two do. And apparently not as sexily - even non-slashers were thinking they were due for a kiss!


They bring out the worst and the best in each other. That's why I love their arguments.


"Stop playing games and do your job."


I was ready to laugh, because I thought House was about to prove he's Wilson's bitch, again.


Awkward....


"No." Then I laughed at House trying to be defiant. Kutner seriously has to be wondering...



Death glare.


Had to be capped.


"A little mood music to build the suspense."
"Sounds more folky." I love you, Kutner. (And Kal Penn. I watched The Namesake just for him, the other day.)


"You seriously have no idea when to shut up, do you?"


I already loved her, but this episode made me love her more! WHY? THERE IS NO GOD, I TELL YOU.



TAUB WILL MISS SEXUALLY HARASSING YOU.


SERIOUSLY, SHOW, STOP BREAKING MY HEART.



Amber "Cut-Throat Bitch" Volakis. October 2007 - November 2007. You shall be missed.


When the spoiler descriptions of the newbies came out, I immediately knew Thirteen was a forgone conclusion, rooted for Kutner and Taub even before I saw them, and could go either way on Volakis. Then she showed up and I LOVED HER. SO MUCH. And even knowing she was going to get cut, early on, THIS STILL HURT. SO MUCH.

D= D= D=

But good Wilson angst.

NIP/TUCK
"You didn't tell me he was bringing sexy back that hard." 1) How many gay men have hit on Christian now? 2) I knew Sexy Back was gay.


"Dr. McDreamy." I concur, Bulimic Slut.


I love how Christian acts like Sean's the big skirt-chaser. Denial....


Bulimic Slut notes Christian's loyalty to Sean. Man, I miss Gina. /random thought.


"I'm so high, I have no idea what's going on." (Come on, more of you people have to catch that reference.)


I love that Kimber and Matt are drug addicts now. I just love this show's shamelessness.



See, Bulimic Slut threatened to tell Sean that Christian slept with Julia. Again.


Julia thinks it's about her. But in keep with the show's theme...


"This isn't about you, it's about me and Sean. Our friendship barely survived last time." .....no, I won't make the joke. It's too easy.


DORK SEX!!


Now I wonder whether Wilson looks as dorky during sex...


"What did she look like? Because you obviously weren't with me just now." He, dear. And his name is Christian.


Then Sean tells Kate about his fantasy, again looking like a dork.


"Schoolgirl. No panties. Bad little whore needs a spanking." And I love that it's so cliche - I thought he was lying, at first! XD


"Too much?"
"No, no - I - I feel closer to you." This relationship is rife with awkward.


Sean always tries to look intimating. But even when he was beating the crap out of Christian that one time, he failed.


"What the hell is she [Bulimic Slut] doing here? Don't tell me you slept with her, because that would end this partnership right here, right now."



"You're acting like a jealous boyfriend right now."


Can you list everything wrong with situation?


Yeah.....I love that the baby's crying, and that I got what was going on before Matt did.


"DO NOT WANT." Matt doesn't want to do gay porn.


"Twink, chic look." LOL. The facial hair's great, though. (No, I do not have a fixation with facial hair...he just looks like Michael Jackson without it XD)


"Oh yeah, Sean does that to me all that time, too." And I said I wouldn't go for the easy jokes...



Sean seriously needs to get out more.



"Middle-aged white couples and young, successful black men? I'm game! What about you, Sean?"


"40 year old soccer moms? Yes, please tell me more."


"THERE'S MONIES UNDER TEH RUG."


Win.


Sean's dorky fantasies come true.


Sean's amusing just by existing.



I just LOL'd so hard at this. This show has no shame.



"SIZE 0? YOU FAT BITCH. EVERYONE KNOW IT'S ALL ABOUT THE SIZE -2."


She recorded Julia and her mom having sex. No shame. None.


Then Julia says she was better than Christian. One failure after another for him, this season XD


Dorky glasses and Liz FTW.


An enema. In preparation for the gay porn. Even Matt isn't immune to teh ghey of Nip/Tuck.


Prison rape. Which makes me think of Oz. (Which is also amazing. Watch it, if you haven't.)


Matt's voice just went up a few pitches. He's not going to be a very happy bottom...


"Get. Dressed. Now." Aw, Kimber, you party-pooper.


Sean offered Bulimic Slut diet pills, and she stupidly took the bait.


"The safe word's 'big wheel.'"


This dude is checking out Sean.


And then he runs away. Lulz.


...........Creepy.


Sean is uncomfortable watching the dude watching his wife get freaky with the black guy. The same Sean who had a freaky three-way with Christian.


Okay, yeah, he's creepy. But still.


".....Big wheel."


"Big wheel."


"BIG WHEEL!!!111!"


Music for this scene: A+



Sim!Matt.


...yeah, right.


*poke*


SHE'S A HO-WA. Gasp.


"....I dun get it."


Christian just pwned Bulimic Slut. Yay.



He did it all just so Sean wouldn't find out he was cheating on him. I mean....wait, yeah. Let's go with that.


Christian arrives home.


And he hears music playing...


Yep, it's Sean. (I SO WISH WILSON WOULD DO THIS TO HOUSE.)


"What are you doing here?" Curious, but not weirded out.


Love....



"I never got over Julia." But Julia's a beard. So that means...you never got over Christian. *nods*


"OMG NO WAI."


Awkward...


Christian suddenly needs a drink.




Come back next week, because I'll be doing a lot of Nip/Tuck caps in the absence of House.

Sorry if I don't get around to responding to your comments right away - I gotta write 20k words by midnight on the 30th to win NaNoWriMo!
