Season 8 Episode 3

"Charity Case"

The episode opens with a man dropping million dollar check to an aid organization  then walking out. We quickly learn he is the patient because he passes out in the street.

House cut his hair. Thirteen is back at the hospital asking House to stop calling her. She says she's not a doctor anymore and is leaving for Greece with her new girlfriend.

Now doctor #2, Dr. Adams, makes her first appearance in the hospital this episode. House pushes just the right buttons to recruit the former prison doctor to volunteer her time and expertise to the case. She is talking with the patient and when he starts talking about being generous and nice to other people 

. . .  BAM Tachycardia.

House's motives are finally revealed. He wants to con the overly generous patient to financially support his diagnostic team, since House is currently working for minimum wage with only one hired team member (Yi). The patient offers House a million dollars; Wilson tells House not to accept anything from a sick patient and Foreman says no and orders House to release patient.

We meet the patient's wife. They are separated and she won't go see him. They have two sons and the patient reveals they have two sons. He has a kind heart and pays child support because he "can't justify buying video games when other kids are starving."

. . . BAM Seizure.

Dr. Park has very flared nostrils that flare more when she talks. Its very distracting

Dr. Adams gave Dr. Park a cup of coffee, which she couldn't handle not paying her back. Dr. Adams tries to give her something else(and more expensive). Dr. Park say she can't take it because she can't pay her back for it. Dr. Adams insists that she keep it without paying her back. Dr. Park replies, "You do know I punched the last person that pissed me off?"

Patient offers a kidney to Wilson's patient. House insisting his patient is worse. Dr. Park agrees. Wilson and Dr. Adams thinks he's just being nice. Thirteen is back to help by giving an awesome differential.. which later turns out to be wrong. 

Ha! Dr. Park set up an interview for Dr. Adams just to get rid of her.The patient is ready to donate a kidney. . . . BAM Tachycardia . . . again.

I REALLY don't like Foreman being the new Dean.
He's acting like a JERK and tried to pull House off the case.

There is internal tension between the two new doctors.
This should be an interesting season.

The patient's wife shows up.
Thirteen tricks the patient into being generous towards her
(fakes a kidney disease)
and he says he will give away BOTH kidneys . . .

This guy is crazy.

House’s office is now located next to an orthopedic casting suite, so the background ambience is constantly filled with a drill removing casts. House gets irritated and breaks the drill.
Ha. Classic.

Thirteen is feeling guilty about leaving medicine to have fun.

Wilson's kidney patient died.

House's patient has Plumber’s disease — a nodule on thyroid that's releasing extra hormones that are affecting his behavior. The patient wont give House money now so House pulls a guilt trip.

Dr. Adams finally gets Yi to accept a gift and say thank you.

HA. House and Yi conned her in to fixing Yi's car for her.
This is going to be a great season.

House says Thirteen is fired ..wait?
She was re-hired? Did I miss that?

The next episode is in two weeks. 

It will be a Halloween episode and actually air on Halloween.
