2.09 Deception From tv.com:
With Foreman as House's supervisor, the team must figure out if a woman who cried wolf too many times is really ill.

I just wanted to be lonely and post that this is one of my favorite underrated episodes. Cynthia Nixon was great (even if she did torture poor RSL).

This is one of those episodes I watched when my friends were trying to talk me into watching House and I was catching it sporadically during Season 2. I did think Cynthia Nixon was great in it. And, even before I had any feelings about Cameron one way or another, I thought she was pretty incompetent to leave those antibiotics with the patient to prove her point.

Sorry, I'm confused. Did they have any scenes together except where he was about to zap her bone marrow? Where was the torture?

Sorry, Taiga, obscure joke! :) RSL did an interview (quite awhile after she filmed her guest spot) where he mentioned that he had a huge crush on Cynthia when they were both kids and co-starred as siblings (in the Off-Broadway play Sally Gone's, She Left Her Home.) He said something about her being so cool and intimidating he never got up the courage to let on at the time. So she tortured poor RSL by being an unattainable love object. ;)

What? I'm no Cameron fan, but that's exactly the kind of stunt House would pull if he suspected Munchausen's was the (one and only) problem.
I really really love this episode. I just watched it on my DVD a couple nights ago. Cynthia played that role really well, and she had great chemistry with Hugh.
I love that House insists she has Munchausen's AND an actual illness. So sad at the end though, when she was scamming another doctor at another hospital.
My favorite exchange:
House: At the end of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf," the wolf really does come, and he eats the sheep, and the boy, and his parents.
Chase: The wolf doesn’t eat the parents!
House: It does when I tell it.
Moment that I find interesting and odd:
House singing Ain't She Sweet. (I love when he sings!) Except he used the male pronoun. "See him walking down that street, so I ask you very confidentially, ain’t he sweet?... Just cast an eye in his direction, oh me oh my, ain’t that perfection..."
This is when he's handing over fake blood test results to Foreman to prove that the patient had a physical illness. So maybe he was directing the male pronoun at himself... that he's "perfection" for being so great at what he does.
