Okay, reading things out of context is confusing. Especially when the last scene of an episode is House on the operating table, a Six Feet Under-esque fade to white, and the flatline noise.

Luckily, his heart starts again.

Even luckier, this was all however-many years ago when he had the... infarction? (The sides say aneurysm) Looks like a flashback episode, framed as a lecture House is forced into giving a class of medical students - of course, he lies like hell, and it looks like quite late on that we realize the patient he's talking about is himself.

The infamous Stacy's in this episode, both in the flashback and the present day (she's now married, which House didn't know.) In the past, as he goes under the anaesthetic, he tells her he loves her; she says she's sorry. Confused, he starts to say she has nothing to be sorry for, but he loses consciousness.

Other characters: ducklings are solving the case of the week (flesh-eating virus, I think), Wilson's nowhere to be found.

Is it time for new episodes yet? (Yeah, we just had one. I'm a greedy so-and-so.) Love Foreman this week, by the way.

Some damn woman broke his heart? No wonder he turned to Wilson for comfort.

I can retcon if I want to. :)

I like your retcon.

Hmm... Stacy broke his heart, possibly right after the infarction/aneurysm, Wilson could've been divorcing his first or second wife...

This calls for fanfic!

*resists ... resists ... ... clicks*

Ooh, that sounds cool. Except for the no Wilson part. Hmm.

If there's a House/Wilson scene set in the past, I may die of happiness. As I did this week when House mused on whether he should grab Chase's ass.

As would I! *hopes*

The ass-grabbing comment was hilarious. One of my favorite parts of the episode, overall.

OMG YES FLASHBACK EPISODE!!!

I've been wanting one of these for AGES. Infarction time! YAY!

*squees*

I'm really pleased they're doing one, and that Stacy's going to be in it - it'll be interesting to see her past relationship with House. The "I love you" as he goes under killed me just in the sides, can't wait to see that, especially if the Stacy actress is any good at all.

And I *so* want Wilson in the flashback. (One thing that confused me is that Cuddy seems to be there in the past, when House was already on Vicodin when she hired him according to Detox. Could just be weirdness just to the overlapping stories, though - the episode's called "Three Stories" and some of it seems a bit like Storyteller from Buffy S7. My friend Kevin says he's holding out hopes that we see the mdeical students in the lecture theatre from House's POV, as a crowd of jibbering chimps.)

One thing that confused me is that Cuddy seems to be there in the past, when House was already on Vicodin when she hired him according to Detox.

I saw the sides earlier and that confused me too. My guess is that at the point in time of the flashbacks House isn't working for Cuddy. Perhaps this was even her first introduction to him - as a patient. Wowed by his brilliant mind she offered him a position on her staff shortly thereafter.

BTW, since I've enjoyed your thoughts on the show and you save me the headache of tracking down spoilage at house_md I think I'm going to go ahead and friend you. But, please, please, please don't feel like you need to friend me back. I just read how you are trimming your list and I don't want to add to your burden. ;)

*rapidly deletes about 20 people* Plenty of room! Welcome! Very happy to have another House fan around *g*
