House fans are left a little uncertain at this point in the season. Will the old team of Foreman (Omar Epps), Chase (Jesse Spencer), and Cameron (Jennifer Morrison) be brought back together under the direction of House (Hugh Laurie)? Will the new team of Foreman, Taub, and Thirteen (Olivia Wilde) be reassembled? Will an entirely new team be brought in to work with House and Foreman? The answers to these questions could lead to what we can expect from House this season.

At the beginning of this episode, it is the old team that is put together to solve the problem of a teenage boy that needs to be diagnosed. The young teen is the son of a very wealthy businessman is presenting lots of symptoms that have remained unsolved by seventeen previous doctors.

He gets it into his head that because he is so wealthy, karma is biting him in the back end by making his child suffer. The diagnosis is an incurable disease. The father even goes so far as to give all of his money away in order to change his karma. As soon as he does, House gets an epiphany and cures the boy. Surprise!

Meanwhile, the team must also present a case regarding President Dibala from the episode last week where Chase killed the patient due to political reasoning. They must scramble to get their story straight for when they need to present the case.

Also while all this is going on, there is an ongoing discussion as to whether Thirteen will rejoin the team. House says he doesn’t want her, when he really does. Foreman thinks they can’t work together with him in the position of power. Wilson thinks she is good for House and good for the team.

It was nice to see House back to its original form of solving a case, even with everything else that was going on as well. Personally, I hope Thirteen does come back to the team. She brings a no nonsense attitude and she’s really great to look at, even from a heterosexual female vantage point. Yes, she may throw things off a bit, but it would all work out in the end, it always does. And if it starts to go south, then House can always change things up!
