We felt his presence, though we didn't see him at all this week. Tritter has put the squeeze on House through his friend and colleagues. Being the friend, Wilson got the worst of it. He's had his car impounded, and the DEA revoked his prescription-writing privileges — to which House responded, "Who's going to prescribe my Vicodin?" That's just the tip of House's self-absorbed iceberg. Wilson is no longer of any use as a pusher, so of course House hit up his staff for Vicodin. Quick: Who would rather lose his job than lose his license? If you guessed Chase, then you were ahead of me. Boy, did I love seeing Chase stand up to House, as well as the Midol-throwing Cameron, who also did not cave under House's pressure. There were so many great scenes that showed the effects of House's ill-advised pissing match with Tritter: Wilson not being able to treat his patients. Cameron sitting in on Wilson's appointments rather than blindly prescribing medication for his patients. House's new...

Stunt casting. Vegetative-state man awakes and wants a steak. Ah, yes, it must be sweeps. I'm a little bit disappointed that it wasn't Coma Guy whom House roused from sleep. But given the way the show ended — John Larroquette's character dying to save his son's life — I was relieved that our long-standing friend is still with us. Wilson summed up the show best: "Caustic Guy was waking up Coma Guy." To be more specific, House injected Gabe (Larroquette), against Cuddy's wishes, with experimental drugs that would temporarily release him from his vegetative state in the hopes of getting a detailed medical history for Kyle (Zeb Newman), the dying patient who, it turns out, is Gabe's son. Guilt is a heavy load to bear for 10 years. Imagine doing so while unconscious. Gabe's guilt over not being able to save his family resulted in a road trip for House and Wilson, who struggled with their own issues — namely Wilson's lying to the police to protect House for forging presc...

Question: Dr. Ausiello, I need an IV of House spoilers stat. A shot will do if no IV is available.
Answer: You're gonna need a defibrillator while watching the two-part episode on May 2 and May 3, which, as you already know from reading AA, finds Foreman in the throes of a life-threatening medical crisis. It will seriously blow your mind. Omar Epps, Lisa Edelstein and Jennifer Morrison give the performances of their freakin' careers. And there are at least two big twists, one involving Cameron and Foreman and another involving ******* that comes at the very end of the second episode.

Question: Got anything on House? Answer: How 'bout my best buddy Greg Grunberg? He just shot an episode titled "Sex Kills," and, as he points out, "Who better to have on an episode with the word 'sex' in the title than the sexiest man on TV — me?" (There he goes, stealing my shtick again.) Actually, Greg's story line is not exactly what you'd call sexy. He plays a guy whose "wife was just killed in a car crash," he explains, "and House wants to keep her alive to use her heart for a transplant for a dying patient [Howard Hessman]. I fight him till the end. The role is a real doozie." Greg adds that he and House creator David Shore "have known each other for a long time, and he has been kind enough to ask me on a number of occasions to come have some fun. I've actually worked with half of the people in this crew at one time or another, as well as having worked with Lisa Edelstein on Felic
