This is so weird and wacky. And I love introducing "Prescription Passion"!

Yeah, and with Cameron as the one with a serious Bad Boy fetish. Great fun to write, even if it makes little sense outside my head.

Thanks.

That's the trouble with an obsessive nature -- it cannot be turned off at will. And, when the thing you are obsessive about (diagnostics and figurative language) has been replaced by the boring, albeit improbable, it can be hard to make that adjustment.

I'd kind of forgotten about Season 5 (we're so hormonally imbalanced that we plant trip wires in our own hospital at the risk of maiming a handicapped employee) and S6 (we're so desperate that we date the biggest man-child around). Lucky you -- a lot of Cuddy fans wish we could forget such nonsense, And let's not forget the administratively brilliant move of appointing Cameron, the previously-mentioned pyromaniac, to watch over the gasoline and matches. (But it's my hope that if you put season 7 House, in a tropical paradise with season 4 Cuddy, as I'm about to, you get a completely different kind of heat.)

Thanks for commenting --

This is so FUNNY. I don't think of you as someone who writes comic sketches, but this is incredibly entertaining, in a very Theatre-of-the-absurd way.

House's attempts to connect his own problems with the various clues in his environment made me grin, but the response to Stephen Cabot Spencer and the discussion of the absurdities of the plot points of Prescription Passion were absolutely hilarious.

He's still absolutely House, however - focused on solving the mystery, on finding a strategy to diagnose his medical problem, and willing to be daring and innovative to achieve his goal. Which is what makes everything SUCH a treat.

Looking forward very much to the next installment: it will be amazing to see Cuddy operating in this environment!

Thanks -- It's way out of my genre but I am enjoying it.

On several occasions throughout the season and after, several fans commented, something along the lines of "That was not House (or Cuddy); it was his/her evil twin." Probably the most plausible explanation, and it led me to wonder -- what happens to the character when his or her evil twin (or good twin, or stupid twin, as the case may be) is on screen? On soap operas, usurped characters are often biding their time and plotting their triumphant return in a remote undisclosed location. For me, the more interesting question is not why they'd flee but why in the world, after seeing what hash their counterparts have made of their lives, they'd ever want to go back.

Of course Cuddy's the sheriff! That's totally a job I can see for her, especially in Bizarro-HouseAU world. And I love the shout out for Prescription Passion. House's mind is a strange and wonderful place...

[stenveny]

Thanks! It really is a weird and intriguing place, House's head is, isn't it?

I'm glad you liked Cameron here in part 2. Part 3 brings Cuddy in, and part part 4 will be Wilson's entrance.

Thanks for reviewing.
