It’s time for a new season of House, which I couldn’t be happier about. I have caught up on all the episodes of House from season one and two, and am happy to see what insanity this new pain-free House brings to the table.

The patient this episodes drives his electric wheelchair into the deep end of his swimming pool at a pool party.

It’s a shame that we have seen House running pain-free in every single promo leading up to this episode. It would be nice if it was a surprise. Like Mini Me in Austin Powers. How hilarious would that revelation have been if you didn’t know it was coming.

That being said, my wife was shocked that House was running.

House has taken two cases, the diving wheelchair fella and a yoga girl who became a paraplegic with no visible spinal damage.

Doctor House is still grumpy and sarcastic, but he’s being a little nicer to his patients. Except the ones who are faking their paralysis. Those he burns. No fooling, boys and girls. It’s the old witch test.

Oh yeah, House didn’t die. You know, since he got shot last season. I just wanted to make sure you knew. You were probably concerned. After all, zombies can jog. They can probably treat patients with hostility too. They make great brain surgeons though.

The faking yoga girl isn’t faking it. She has blood in her heart. Or something more dramatic. It looked like blood. I like blood on my toast in the morning. Or strawberry jelly. Whatever it is, it’s red.

They yoga girl had scurvy. Scurvy! How do I love this show? Let me count the ways. Pirates. There’s more, but that’s a big point.

Now the wheelchair bound vegetable is trying to talk. House has his hands full this episode. Heck, he even asked out Cameron.

House even tried to be a sk8r, right before his leg started to hurt a little.

House’s meetings with his co-workers are taking place outside, where there is sun and laughter and trees made of candy. He is still trying to kill his patients though. So much for some sort of environment based mood disorder to explain his grump.

Everyone in the hospital learns that, yet again, House is always right. But he doesn’t know he cured his patient. Wilson wants it kept a secret, so House doesn’t become even mightier than he already is.

And thus, House falls back into taking pain killing drugs. Oh Wilson, what happened to you? You are more than a volleyball.
