The dean of medicine from PPTH comes to see House in prison. House tells the guard he doesn’t want to see Cuddy. The guard says “he said you would say that”. He?

House walks in the room and it’s Foreman. He’s there to spring House because they need him at the hospital. Foreman says he’s on conditional parole because their patient is a set of lungs in a box. House is so on this.

Foreman lays it all down for House. House steps one toe out of line and he’s back in prison. He also lets House know that Cuddy stepped down the day after House went to prison. Apparently, it’s been a year since House went inside. The team is gone and House’s new office is a closet and his new team is a teeny little girl with a bad haircut. House tells Dr. Park to go back to Neurology where she came from and she says she can’t because she punched the attending doctor for grabbing her butt.

So the lungs came from an 18-year-old kid in a motorcycle accident and are going to one of Wilson’s cancer patients. House and Wilson have a confrontation and Wilson tells him they are no longer friends.

House and Park raid the dead boy’s room looking for drugs. While they’re there, House gets picked up by the cops because he has an ankle bracelet monitor. Foreman says he’s allowed to be at the hospital and home or he’s going back to prison.

House is in Wilson’s office and is playing Celine Dion’s “My Heart Will Go On” on the laptop. He says that’s his and Wilson’s song. Wilson is not amused. Wilson says he hasn’t forgotten their friendship, he just knows that House is bad news and won’t change.

House goes back to his old office and tries to take back his whiteboard. Some crazy old lady says she was warned this might happen and she sure would like to call Dr. Foreman. House uses the glass wall as a makeshift whiteboard.

Park’s dad got her text and brought her some soup for dinner only assistant didn’t send any text. Of course you know House sent it. He says he went by neurology but the secretary said she was on leave. She covers and says she’s consulting on this case. Dad thinks it looks complicated so how could she help? Park looks beaten down.

Wilson’s patient really needs those lungs now and she’s decided to go DNR. House says Wilson needs to get in there and subtly force her to change her mind.

House and Park snack on a pilfered edible fruit arrangement while they do a differential. House uses metaphors that Park doesn’t understand. She asks if House used them with his old staff or because he thinks she’s stupid. He says they were stupid too.

Wilson pushed his patient to hang on for the lungs and he thanks House for pushing him to do it. House says he likes Wilson and wants him punch him in the face or the nuts (but not both)so he can get over this tiff. Wilson says he actually doesn’t like House and he’ll be doing no such thing.

The lungs are dying and House needs to think so he breaks into his old office. He manages to turn up a red rubber ball from somewhere. He gets caught in the office so he bounces the ball somewhere else. He watches an impromptu office party and epiphanies when he sees the smoke from the birthday candles being blown out. They save the lungs and Wilson’s patient gets the transfer. Park decides not to transfer away to Chicago to run from her hearing. She’s going to stay and work for House.

Foreman gets House his office back or at least the smaller half. Wilson walks in and punches House in the face. Wilson says he’ll meet House at his place at 8 for steaks.

I think Park may be my favorite assistant of all time. She’s meek but she’s got spunk. I like that. I quite enjoyed seeing House so put out and breaking back into his office all the time. I do think Wilson would be better off not being friends with House but he’s a hard man to say no to. Next week, Wentworth Miller of Prison Break fame is on! EEEEE! Pardon my fangirly squealing but EEEEE! Ahem. Leave a comment and let me know what you thought of tonight’s episode.
