<p>I admit it - I am a Houseaholic.</p>
<p>The psychiatric hospital he entered at the end of last night’s episode looked like something out of the 1890s.</p>
<p>LOL. I thought so too. My husband likes House and I end up watching so that my blood pressure can go up when he reaches new levels of outrageousness.</p>
<p>I read a spoiler earlier in the season that someone saw them filming at a closed psych hospital. Seens like IRL, Wilson would have gone in with him to help get him settled.</p>
<p>I just don’t know where they’re going to go with this. Will he really get off the vicodin? Doesn’t New Jersey have nice, modern detox facilities? Does he really have to go to the scary mental hospital?</p>
<p>I thought that a few episodes of a volitile affair with Cuddy would be fun.</p>
<p>Thanks for starting this. I’ve been a huge Hugh Laurie fan for years and tend not to miss a House. (Too many evenings I flip between House and Boston Legal re-runs–really the best things on.) I think the scary out-of-town place was just done because (1) scary is more dramatic and (2) House always talked about going into rehab somewhere other than a local facility. I think it’s just in keeping with an end-of-season hook and am not at all concerned about how the story opens up next season.</p>
<p>But am I the only one who was confused toward the end last night? I mean, which parts of the whole detox/fling were real? Didn’t it seem like maybe a lot of it was hallucinated? I think the lipstick was always Vicodin, but what did he and Cuddy in fact actually do?</p>
<p>I only caught the very end of this last night as he was going into the hospital. DD was watching Gossip Girl so I can’t see House! How did Wilson get him to agree to go? Is this to detox from the vicodin or does it also have to do with the dead girl he kept talking to (I can’t remember her name)?</p>
<p>We were such fans of Jeeves and Wooster that I experience cognitive dissonance every time I see Hugh Laurie as House.</p>
<p>Amber re-appeared toward the end last night. And it was House’s decision (weird, huh?). Enough happened that I <em>believe</em> he understands he’s lost touch with reality, but see my earlier post–I’m a bit confused.</p>
<p>Hunt–saw an interview with HL and he was talking about how really challenging it is to speak with an American accent. Said there’s not one single word that isn’t pronounced differently.</p>
<p>He does such a great job- I love Jeeves and Wooster- it is so funny to see him in such a different role.</p>
<p>Hunt- have you ever seen Stephen Fry on * Bones?*</p>
<p>So sorry to have missed that episode last night…Does anybody know if it’s online? Can’t seem to find it…Guess I’ve become somewhat dependent on watching missed episodes of Gray’s Anatomy (my other fave) online…</p>
<p>I think the House/Cuddy daliance was a total House hallucination. I agree that the lipstick was actually House’s container of Vicodin.</p>
<p>USA Network runs house re-runs every night except Monday. Last Sunday they ran 12 hours of House re-runs 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., and no, I did not watch the entire 12 hours.</p>
<p>If you like Hugh Laurie/Stephen Fry humor, go to youtube and search Laurie and Fry. All kinds of very funny bits come up.</p>
<p>New House episodes are available online 8 days after original broadcast at FOX.</p>
<p>The Hallucination began when House went into Cuddy’s office, said “I quit”, insulted her, then she walked out and went home. They didn’t see each other again until she walked in on the case discussion the next day.</p>
<p>The facility they used for filming is Greystone Psychiatric Hospital which was built in 1876 and it really is spooky inside. It is about two miles from where I live and I once had occasion to visit someone there. When I got there, there were a bunch of patients and some of the night staff watching a movie in a lounge area down the hall from where the visit took place. Every few minutes, they would all howl with laughter and there would be calls to rewind and show that part again. I figured they were watching a really good comedy, but when I looked in there I saw that it was The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. We left quickly after that.</p>
<p>If you google it, you will find numerous pictures and stories.</p>
<p>Do they have any nurses? House works at a strange hospital that doesn’t seem to have any.</p>
<p>Greystone has nurses, but I do not know whether “Mayfair” (as I believe they called it on the episode last night) does.</p>
<p>Make that Mayfield, not Mayfair.</p>

<p>If you follow the link above, it talks about Greystone and has many pictures. Greystone is an original Kirkbride Building, and one of few left standing.</p>
<p>I didn’t see the show last night. What happened with the lipstick?</p>
<p>There was never a lipstick. It was all part of House’s hallucination. The lipstick was actually his bottle of Vicodin. He had not detoxed, and he didn’t sleep with Cuddy.</p>
<p>Okay, Bassdad, that story is the creepiest thing I’ve heard in a looooong time!!</p>
