House MD (9/21) (Season 6)

I think House might be the show I look forward to most. It's probably my favourite show right now. And I can't wait for the new season, especially after the season five finale which upset and fascinated me very much last May.

Where were we?

Last season was one of the most controversial and interesting ones yet. Dealing with the aftermath of Amber’s death, House tried reconciling with Wilson. His father died (and we found out it was not his biological father) and House was taken hostage. Cuddy decided to adopt a baby, shocking House who didn’t seem to pleased with this fact. Thirteen and Foreman became a couple, tackling Thirteen’s Huntington disease together. When Cuddy eventually got a baby, House accepted it grudgingly. Kutner killed himself and House had no idea why, a fact he couldn’t accept. He was looking for answers, but didn’t find any. Cameron and Chase decided to get married. And then House started hallucinating: Amber, his best friend’s dead girlfriend was suddenly back and House questioned his own mind and senses. House tried everything to regain control and decided detoxing from vicodine – with Cuddy’s help. In the second-to-last episode, House got clean and then slept with Cuddy. In the shocking finale, we experienced a happy, clean House but in the last ten minutes everything was deconstructed: House had been hallucinating all along. He didn’t detox, he didn’t sleep with Cuddy. He was shell-shocked and decided to get himself admitted to a mental home.

What’s next?

  • There isn't much information out there yet, except for the two-hour season opener
  • Apparently, Foreman takes over the team for some time, bringing back Cameron and Chase
  • The first episode deals with House's time in the mental facility. He makes out with a patient's cousin, tries to get back his medical license and "turns the ward upside down"
  • House will have some difficulties going back in his old job
  • He will stay clean for some time, but how long?

My Predictions (aka. Wild Guesses)

I'm still in shock after the season finale, so I really have no ideas, only wild guesses. I guess House will spent at least 3-5 episodes in the mental home and his team will have to run to him and ask him for advice, until he can leave the home, either a little bit happier or the staff realized they can't help him. House might realize that it just has been too much for him and open up more to other people (Wilson, Cuddy) but eventually, he probably won't change too much. As for Huddy, I guess she will visit him and maybe they will flirt a little, but nothing big will happen for at least the next 12 episodes. I predict a major event somewhere mid-season, hopefully bringing them together more. The team will just keep on existing, Foreman will become boss straining his relationship with 13, Cameron and Chase will be happy, Taub... well, he's also there ;) Well, that's pretty much it (It's sooo hard to predict House, we'll see what will happen)

My wishes for season 6:

  • A satisfying solution of the House-mental home story-arc
  • Less Foreman and Thirteen, more Cameron, Chase and Taub
  • HUDDY, we were so close this year. Him imagining his happy future with her has to count for something. I'd say, they should have sex for real, maybe as part of House's change
  • More clinic patients, more ethical dilemmas
  • More Wilson-House interaction

Current Mood: Happy (One more day!!!)
