ORIGINAL EPISODES, TUESDAYS @ 9PM ON FOXTonight brought us another extremely interesting patient. A man, who was introduced to us during a mugging, began wheezing uncontrollably and landed in Dr. House's service with an unknown condition. The interesting aspect of his condition was that he took on the thoughts and emotional characteristics of the people around him. For instance, while any of the doctors were in the room he would start speaking from their point of view, making comments that that person was thinking at the moment. According to House, this is called Mirror Syndrome and he was able to read people so well that it was essentially a form of mind reading; although based off appearance, movement, eye contact, etc.
As you could imagine, a patient like this could reek havoc upon the doctor's in this hospital and 
he absolutely did just that. He called each of the doctors out on their inner most feelings including the hilarious moment when the patient (channelling House) told Thirteen (Olivia Wilde) that she was hot! Too funny and I knew House was attracted to her, it was so obvious over the last few episodes. This could really be interesting later on as she gets to House more. Will he actually hook up with someone on his team?

Too funny and I knew House was attracted to her, it was so obvious over the last few episodes. This could really be interesting later on as she gets to House more. Will he actually hook up with someone on his team? Basically, tonight was a funnier episode than usual from the team over at "House." The fact that the mirror patient literally mirrored every doctor, it brought a lot of serious but also hilarious issues to the surface. Whether they actually play a part in who House decides to hire for his team is unknown but I have to believe House knows most of these things already. He always has that insight into people that most of us don't and I'm sure he knows things such as one of the interns desire to go back to third world and help, that one of them hates what he's doing at the hospital, etc. In the end, House always knows who will be good and who will hurt the team.
Finally, all three original team members are back at the hospital. Earlier Cameron and Chase came back, albeit in different positions. This week Foreman came back except he was hired by
Cuddy as House's boss! Well, sort of. House never really has any bosses because he doesn't listen to anyone. But Foreman's job is to watch over House and keep him in line while at the same time helping with the patients. The back and forth between Foreman and House was sorely missed throughout the beginning of the season and reminds us just how good the first three seasons were. Foreman discovered tonight that although he's been fighting House and the effect he's had on his life over the past few years, it turns out that he really loves working with him. It doesn't actually torture him to be there; the opposite is actually true - he loves the fight and he loves the challenge. Cameron had a big hand in this little bit of self discovery and it was great seeing them interact again. It's almost as if the old team is back. I do feel bad for Foreman though; even if he wanted to leave he can't anymore. Everyone in the medical community believes that he's been corrupted by House and this left him with no other option than to work at the hospital again. It just sucks that after everything that's happened, he can't even move on to somewhere else because of a stigma that's not even his fault. Not that I mind all that much because selfishly it's great having him back.

House decided not to fire anyone on the team which means that Chase won every single bet that was made. And, House got a 50% cut! Too funny.
Great episode and it's awesome having everyone back. November Sweeps should be excellent and hopefully the writer's strike will be resolved before we start losing our favorite shows in December and January. Until next week, enjoy the review and cross your fingers for a resolution!

Ohhh I'd forgotten about the mirror-guy telling Thirteen she was hot... it all makes perfect sense now!
