I can understand people hating this episode. It's not a normal house episode. Instead of being about House and the medical mystery of the week, this entire episode is from Cuddy's perspective.
I thoroughly enjoyed it. To see from "across the fence" the craziness of the House team, as well as how Cuddy makes the decisions from limited information on the spot, was brilliant. On top of that we got to see the drama in Cuddy's day to day work life. Also it should be mentioned that, for us guys, there were quite a few, shall I say, beautifully framed shots of Cuddy for our viewing pleasure.
I can understand people not liking this episode. People that don't like the Cuddy character, or don't like 'alternative' episodes could probably tune out. There wasn't a great deal of plot advancement and if you missed this episode no great loss.
But for fans of the show, or fans of Cuddy, or simply people wanting to get a more 'filled out' cast, this was quite a good episode.
