Goofs:

Continuity: When Cameron and Chase (later joined by Foreman, Sharon, and House) are eating dinner in a restaurant, Cameron begins the scene with her fork in her left hand and knife in the right. The camera cuts to Chase, and we can see the fork in her right hand and nothing in her left; the way it remains for the rest of the scene.

Quotes:

Dr. Lisa Cuddy: You put him on Lupron?
Dr. Gregory House: Uh-huh.
Dr. Lisa Cuddy: And you told them it was like milk?
Dr. Gregory House: Yes.
Dr. Lisa Cuddy: Is there any way in which that is not a lie?
Dr. Gregory House: It's creamy.

I Never Saw It Coming

Okay, so who is it? Come on, she's sleeping with one of you.

Meredith Monroe ("Dawson's Creek") is the wife of a baseball player with a broken arm due to drug use. He needs a kidney transplant and she is a match. Unfortunately, she is also pregnant.

The issue of baby vs. husband is debated and the question of the value of a life is raised.

This is a great episode now that House has gotten rid of that obnoxious billionaire and gotten back to practicing medicine.

Cameron and House go on a date, and it looks like Foreman may have a new girlfriend.

Looking for more great shows to come.
