House has felt lacking this season, maybe because of the haste with which they’ve been dispensing with character developments—his breakup with Wilson lasted only a few weeks, and he shows as much remorse for his dead ex as George did for Susan; the romance with Cuddy, Cameron taking over, all wrapped up in under one—and an unmemorable episode sought to entertain during the usual life-or-death storyline with only a demonstration of his petulance when the plumbing went out at home. Anyway, turned out he caused the damage himself, and in a moment as close as I’d like to enter his world (wish for it, and I’m sure to be diagnosed with lupus), I racked up a $250 bill myself today for a house call of my own. Run the shower and the novelty head, installed as my first act of home ownership, leaks calcium onto the shiny new tub faucet …just like it did the old one.
