HOUSE: "Private Lives"

Original Air Date
March 8, 2010

Description
The team treats a famous blogger, but finds her difficult to treat when she insists on discussing all procedures and doctors on her blog. Meanwhile, House and Wilson learn secrets about each other and go speed dating along with Chase. An avid blogger experiences sudden bruising and bleeding; Wilson and House discover secrets about each other.

Notes
(B+) This was a pretty good and humorous episode. The speed dating scene was priceless house. I love how he flipped the switch on that so-called smart woman that he ran into during the speed dating session.

It set up, perfectly, the larger mystery of the episode. The mystery was why was House reading that book of sermons. Turns out his biological father wrote it. House was interested, as Wilson points out, because he was searching for another mind like his, an equal. His father apparently does not meet those standards.

The side story with Chase was also fun and amusing. Chase examines his own good looks and his connections to other people. He also seems to be making a connection with Thirteen. Perhaps they will have a fling?

The patient, medical mystery, was also quite decent.

And I almost forgot about Wilson having a starring role in a porno. That was great. I loved that interaction between House and Wilson. That was great. This was a really quality episode. It wasn't perfect but there was a lot going on and still felt very balanced and narratively strong.
