It was beautiful to see 13's desperation and sadness about what happened with his brother.

I especially loved this quote, credits to the Quotes section in the episode:

Dr. Gregory House: I'll kill you - when the times comes - if you want me to... Do it now if you like... I've got a baseball bat in the back.

Dr. Remy 'Thirteen' Hadley: ...I'll see you Monday.

13 is back... coming out from jail and House wishes to know why she was sent there... This episod has a case like the others but 13, House are the main line of this one... Actors are great and 13 shows at least a vulnerable side...

Wonderfully played by Hugh Laurie and Olivia Wilde

Thank God - for bringing back Thirteen & hence giving us a meaningful episode in the so far mediocre 7th season. I'm happy that we're completely distracted from House's juvenile antics at the hospital (hopefully to never return or at least in much smaller doses) and get reintroduced to my personal favorite supporting character. It does a lot for the synergy of the cast to have a truly interesting female character on the show - since Martha has been nothing but an annoyance and Cuddy ditching House out of nowhere (even though he's been trying hard in my opinion).

The reason for her absence was shocking and touching. I was glad to see House actually connect with someone else (especially after the recent breakup with Cuddy). Even though he's an emotional klutz he had one of his best moments in the whole whopping series when he said "I'll kill you - when the time comes...".

I won't get my hopes up too high for a quick recovery of House but at the very least I expect the beginning of the healing process now. Two wounded people helping each other back on their feet was an excellent formula for this episode - hats off.

Okay I On the I hate Taub Team

I wasn't quite there yet until this episode and I actually like the actor in other parts, but his whole storyline must be being written by short, ugly, big nosed, dateless guys who are living some kind of fantasy that guys who look like Taub are these secretly really hot babe magnets.

No they're not.

Sure ugly guys can get a date and making a women laugh is one way. It works on me. And I can name several not particularly good-looking actors, who can put their shoes under my bed any time. But this guy doesn't even have the kind of sense of humor that women would find attractive.

He looks like Eyore from Winnie the Pooh and everytime they bring on his poor idiot of a wife, I just want to reach into my screen and slap her.

As a matter of fact, I recall she was originally written as a tough babe, who would dump him if she found out about his cheating and they turned her into this soft voiced milquetoast doormat that no self-respecting woman would every be. This is some male fantasy BS here! When they both talk to each other in those soft voices it's like nails on a chalkboard.

Please give him a fatal disease that his wife catches and kill them off already!

Yeah, I've seen movies and TV shows where some homely guy is a babe magnet, but the guy had charisma and you can see why women would look past the superficial, but not Taub. Stop it already! I know I know the show is old and what is is.

Rant over!

This was an okay episode. Wasn't the biggest fan of 13, but the character didn't make me want to turn off the tv like Taub and his wife do.

Taub

Dr Chris Taub is now getting such a nuisance with his holier than thou attitude and poking his nose into everything of the patients lives, and mainly irrevelant to the case.

Over the past few seasons he has never really achieved anything except hislovely wife leaving him and I can see why.

Never the less, it is great to see a great character back on the show in Olivia Wilde as thirteen.

The episode is back to great story writing and a pleasure to watch after all these years.

Kill Dr Chris Taub off please before the final season and go out with a bang, that the show deserves after 8 great seasons.
