House: How Will Thirteen's Return Affect House and the Team?

There's no denying that Monday's House is special — but not because it's the show's 150th episode."I refuse to acknowledge those numbers as milestones," creator and executive producer David Shore tells TVGuide.com. "I hate to pooh-pooh this, but I believe Episode 149 should be just as good as Episode 150. One number's not more important than another number. This is kind of a departure episode, but that's purely coincidental."Mega Buzz: Clues about Thirteen's return to HouseWhether or not all episodes are created equal, this one is emotionally significant, both for Dr. House (Hugh Laurie) and Thirteen (Olivia Wilde), who returns to the show after a mysterious disappearance more than a year ago.

Mega Buzz: Thirteen's House Return, Glee's Finn and Rachel and CSI: NY's Finale

Every week, editors Adam Bryant and Natalie Abrams satisfy your need for TV scoop. Please send all questions to megascoop@tvguide.com. What can you tell me about House's big 150th episode? — Trisha ADAM: The episode, perhaps the best of the season, finally reveals that Thirteen (the returning Olivia Wilde) ended up in prison. It's a shocking story, so we won't give it away, but we will say that she was convicted of one thing, but actually did something some might consider worse. Mitigating factor: She was acting in the best interest of someone very close to her, which moves House so much that he makes an incredible promise that proves that Dr. Crankypants may have a heart after all. Is there hope for Rachel and Finn on Glee? — Cheryl ADAM: "There is [hope], absolutely," Cory Monteith tells us. "That's a very important, very...
