This one is my favorite, ever, top with Autopsy. In fact, early season two is over the top with so much brilliiance, fun, cleverness, every second filled with something interesting, and Hugh Laurie at his best, and still such a surprise! The show was still new and a discovery. I still enjoy it.
But House in this epi is beautiful, funny, smart, drunk (i love it), not judging anyone. Open enough to tell Chase about his pretty mouth and to say he could have hit Cameron, while interacting with Stacy and flirting with Wilson.
And LL Cool J was awesome. I think I even loved Foreman!
