This episode is just perfect. Perfect opening, perfect introduction to the patient, perfect ending. I love House being obsessive and manipulative. I love how on one scene he wins 4d chess and on the next one he acts like a dummy and it still somehow feels natural. I love how blatant House is with his ex and how random things keep happening and make the episode so much more enjoyable. There're so many ridiculous, perfectly executed scenes that I had to pause the episode and take the cringe in every couple minutes (this is a compliment).
The actual case and how House does it is meh, but the episode more than makes up with its subplots.
