6.06 - Brave Heart
The team takes on the case of a reckless police detective who has a family history of sudden heart failure that killed his father, grandfather and great-grandfather all at age 40. Though House is not keen on diagnosing the patient without any detectable symptoms, the team, urged by Cameron, attempts to identify his condition so the detective can live without fear of dying young. Meanwhile, Chase is haunted by his actions in the Dibala case, and House confronts some ghosts of his own in the “Brave Heart” episode of HOUSE airing Monday, Oct. 19 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.

Good Lord, they about broke me with the "Hi Dad. I think I've been focusing on the wrong things. There were some good times." Followed, of course, by "Wilson! This is stupid!"

When he sat up during his autopsy, I thought House was hallucinating or having a nightmare. Interesting POTW. House/Wilson was great. Unlike in The Tyrant, I really felt Wilson was helping him. And the end, when he tried talking to his father then yelled at Wilson was priceless. Chase broke my heart tonight.

That was awesome... the Chase story, the House/Wilson interaction, another memorable POTW! I thought Wilson talking to Amber was one of the most heart-breaking things I've seen. Chase's turmoil was pretty heart-breaking too, especially when he was begging for absolution. Coming home drunk is not a good sign given his genetics and the role that genetics played in this story. I loved when House tried to talk to his dad and said it was stupid. I thought it was hysterical, unethical, but hysterical when House and Chase made up that syndrome for the patient. I also laughed out loud when Foreman screamed like a little girl when Donny came back to life.

"Hi Dad. I think I've been focusing on the wrong things. There were some good times." I wasn't expecting that. That was lovely. Poor Chase in the confessional. I think the priest is right though. He won't be able to have absolution if he doesn't accept responsibility. So the whispering wasn't caused by physical problems. He actually heard someone whispering.

Wilson should probably keep a journal, rather than talking to his dead girlfriend. Just to be nice to his roommate, not because it's creepy or anything. OK, it's a little creepy. Good episode. Enjoyed the patient. Especially the part where he was being autopsied while alive. Blah, blah, blah, trouble in the Chase-Cameron 3 month old paradise. Don't care. Won't care. Bored.

Actually, let me rephrase--I care about Chase. He makes me feel bad and JS owns at being all effed up. Cameron--never gonna give a damn.

Hey, Cuddy and House bantering is "foreplay!" Who'd thunk it...Honestly, if the writers and showrunners are so sure of the fabulous chemistry between these two characters, you'd think they could stop telling us what we are supposed to be seeing. Chase is beginning to scare me.

JS was amazing in the confession scene. The way his voice started to crack and he started speaking so desperately, just great acting. Chase is breaking my heart. And coming home drunk after Cameron had been looking for him was equally sad. I feel so bad for them. I did not see the Amber thing coming but that was a wonderful reveal. The look on House's face as he realized. There such a mutual caring between the guys tonight. Beautiful. I must say, all those pics of Amber were creeping me out. I've always defended the Wilson/Amber relationship and I probably always will, but at most they had like 4 months together. How did he get that many pictures of the two of them? Cuddy, just. stay. like. this. Don't become that psychotic mess you were last year. This is good. Stay this way. Got it? Foreman's little girly scream was priceless. Overall, a very enoyable episode.

Would a priest refuse forgiveness if someone was obviously as troubled as Chase was? Wouldn't he try to help rather than just rather coldly saying, "Turn yourself in"? I thought the confessional scene was badly done (and I was raised Catholic).

but at most they had like 4 months together. How did he get that many pictures of the two of them? :lol: I was wondering the same thing. The House/Cuddy scenes were wonderful. I enjoyed all of their interactions tonight. Would a priest refuse forgiveness if someone was obviously as troubled as Chase was I'm not Catholic so I don't know how the confessional works. However, before you can be forgiven you have to repent. Chase isn't repenting. He is trying to justify his actions without accepting responsibility. Without repenting. It just seemed like he wanted the priest to absolve him without him acually having to do anything.
