Experiences House thought he was having never happened. It was fascinating as it was unveiled each week, but ultimately, I felt duped by some of it. Some of it was due to sleep deprivation, some of it was guilt, and the rest was his vicodin addiction. Actually, he didn't get any for quite a while. Although he didn't discuss it with everyone, he didn't get much sleep after Kutner's suicide. House simply didn't see it and no one else did either. He thought for sure that there may have been foul play, but alas there wasn't.
He didn't let it go when the police ruled it a suicide. He's always one who seems to be able to figure things out and anticipate a person's actions. The suicide by Lawrence Kutner took everyone by surprise, especially Dr. This plot contained some heart-wrenching moments, particularly when Cuddy had to a take on the case as both a doctor and a potential mother in " Joy." Season five will be most remembered for the shocking death of Kutner ( Kal Penn) and the toll it took on House. She had a difficult time finding a child to adopt after one mother changed her mind about giving her newborn to Cuddy. In fact, Cuddy's (Lisa Edlestein) interest in becoming a mother was something I enjoyed. Not all of this season was frustrating, however.
It was a frustrating story to watch play out over the course of this season. We know that Foreman's decision making isn't what is was in say the first season, but this is a little off-the-wall for a House-influenced Foreman. After a matter of weeks, Foreman lost his damn mind and decided to risk his career by not only getting involved in the drug trials that Thirteen was involved with, but he even switched her medication when he learned that she was on the placebo. This reminded me of the relationship Cameron must have had with her husband before he died. Diagnosed with Huntington's disease in the fourth season finale, Thirteen was reluctant to get into a relationship with anyone. Take the Foreman/Thirteen relationship for example. In fact, both of them were more frustrating than anything positive. Neither of these relationships really moved me. Foreman (Omar Epps) and Thirteen ( Olivia Wilde) got together while Chase ( Jesse Spencer) and Cameron ( Jennifer Morrison) continued with their relationship. House and his father may not have had the best relationship, but there were a few who did have a good relationship. House may not have liked his father, but surely something could have been written for the character.
I can't help but feel disappointed by this fact. Before long, they were friends again and were on their way to pay their respects to House's recently deceased father. Some things never change - right? It didn't take long for Wilson and House to talk about Amber's death. House was not only concerned for his (former) best friend, but he was also just a little nosy. Not only did Weston's character look into the lives of House's employees, but he followed Wilson around. This gave House the excuse to hire a private investigator ( Michael Weston). We've come to know quite a bit about the doctors over these years, but there were still some lingering secrets that hadn't been uncovered. House's investigations into his employees. The loss of Amber really hit Wilson ( Robert Sean Leonard) hard, so much so, that he resigned from Princeton-Plainsboro.Ĭoming into this season, one of the things that seemed to be missing was Dr. Two cast members died, though I suppose you could say that Amber ( Anne Dudek) really died in the fourth season finale, but it really only hit home in the fifth season opener, " Dying Changes Everything". House 's fifth season took somewhat of a dark turn when compared to the previous seasons.
