deelaundryWhat was that with the miracle overnight detox? Did it work because House really, really wanted it to this time?
I mean, I know I wrote:
Two hours later, standing in the Diagnostics suite, Wilson was ready to slap a bitch. Or Chase, or Foreman, or anyone really. “Wishing? That’s what makes it happen?”
“It’s not wishing, exactly,” Chase replied, because Foreman looked unable to come out of his wince. If he wasn’t careful, Wilson thought, his face would stick that way, and then wouldn’t he be sorry.
“We’ve always known,” Chase continued, “that the mind has a powerful effect on the body and specifically healing. It seems, from all the information we have, that the mind is the determining factor here. The intensity of the desire [...] is what affects when the change occurs.”
But that was a crack genderswap-universe solution, not a supposedly real-world solution.
Maybe I missed something in the episode that explained why it worked. Please enlighten me if you saw it.
And now that he's detoxed, House won't cheat and go back on Vicodin... why? He didn't want to go to rehab because he would cheat and render it ineffective. What's to stop him from cheating now?
Other than that, this was an interesting episode. I have to say that I can't figure out where they're headed with this at all.
