One of the things of which I don't speak much is The parenting. I think it's a delicate topic, because the parents often take difficult decisions. Sometimes the decisions are considered stupid by us... Sometimes these are considered good, because either we like it or we think is good for us. But our parents also have had bad decisions (according to our point of view and theirs). However, I'm considered when I say that our parents do it for our welfare.
The latest House's episode studies that complicated leson I liked so much. Of course, it is taken in an original way, a way that only House know to create. And that's good for me. But don't think I love it because it's House or because it's original. I really liked it because I was agree with all the opinion they say. At first, it was strange (for me), and I didn't think that it was correct... But when the episode was in her last minutes I understand it perfectly.
Our parents have mistakes. These are worst or better depending on the case. They are always characteristic of humans. And we must to forgive it.
In the episode, however, the mom don't think the same thing. She considered that her son don't have to see to his died dad. He believed that it was not good, he was a clown, his dad was a clown. In the mind of the mom, the dad was a irresponsible man, in the son's mind it was not bad. In fact, he loves his dad and think that his job was good, at least better than the job of his step-father.
Obviously, they all (including House and the team) were in a problem. How to practice the procedures if they needed the help of the deceased dad? The medical case was a headache due to that. But, when we knew that the dad isn't dead (the mom was lying to protect the son), the medical case was considered a stupid thing compared with the social aspect, the family aspect.
And if it was not enough, the relation of Taub with his daugthers was another point I loved so much of the episode, but that was not so good for Taub, who had to face his parent complications.
The parenting was something to enjoy in that moment. But that's not all. We also learned that Chase had a complicated early life with his alcoholic mother and father, and Chi with her parents. But, Adams, she assured that her parents are good. House didn't believe it, of course.
And then, the case continues and Chase and House want to know the true history of the Adams's parents. Perhaps a unorginial storyline, but I don't think it... And the good dialogues agreed with me. Plus, we have a interesting clinic patient, a man that assures to have diabetes, when the true is he has problems due to the diabetes medications he takes to treat the suspect disease. How ironic! But it's House and it's good for me...
House also has another interesting problem in this episode. He want to go to a Box Match with Wilson, but he can't because he only can be in the hospital and in his house. Apparently impossible. But not for House. We see a House looking for a genious way to go to the Box Match in Atlantic City, and that, a House that I loved.
Coming back to the Patient's case, we understand that the real father, who finally went to the hospital raped to his son when he was 4, the son that loved him so much, and the syphilis infected her body. After years, the disease was decreasing, but when he is kicked by a child the nightmare came back. And then, is when the complicated mom says the true. She knew that her husband was sexually abusing her son, she found out it when he saw a clothes and she didn't want the father were with her son because she don`t want that he hurts him. The mom was trying to be a good mother... and that was part of the parents aspect.
Taub has to say to the patient he has syphilis. He did it, but he didn't say that he was raped. When Taub tells it to House, House understand and says that Taub believed in his heart and not in his brain, another thing that the parents does... and another parents aspect to add to the episode.
We also learn that Adams didn't have a good parents. She was rebellious. However, she explain that he wanted to work with House, something unexpected... but that says another thing that was locked in my mind.
Taub finally decides what to do. And another aspect of parenting is revealed. We have to make decisions...
I really loved this episode, maybe it was bit boring, but I liked her dialogues, especially this: ICU is wasting time in Latin (or something like that). The relation between Taub and Ruby seemed to me very cute... And it is a high note for me. Another thing I loved from the episode was when House apparently drank the urine of the man that believed he had diabetes, and the true was that the suspect urine was apple juice.
And if I mention the final scene (Foreman and House in Atlantic City at the same time that a astonished but calm Wilson watch T.V.) and I say that it was super, the best scene I have seen in my life you would have no problems to understand this episode was very good.
I don't know why a lot of fans thought this episode was bad. It was special, unique (more than many House episodes) because it has a bit of everything: irony, interesting medical case, an unique House and a perfect theme.
House isn't an educational show but I do love this episode due to the valuable lessons. And that's good enough for me...
8.5/10
