Get ready for a full dose of medical mysteries with 21 episodes of the riveting drama series, House. Hugh Laurie is joined by James Earl Jones (Star Wars), Laura Prepon (That '70s Show) and David Strathairn (The Bourne Ultimatum) in
guest appearances as he returns to his Golden Globe-winning and Primetime Emmy Award-nominated role as Dr. Gregory House. In this brilliant sixth season, House finds himself in an uncomfortable position - away from the examination room. As he works to
regain his license and his life, his coworkers deal with the staff shakeups, moral dilemmas and their own tricky relationships with House. And when House returns more obstinate than ever, Princeton Plainsboro Teaching Hospital will never be the same
again.

6.05: Instant Karma
A wealthy businessman brings his teenage son, who is suffering from inexplicable stomach pains, to Princeton Plainsboro and insists on having Dr. House handle the case. The father of the patient believes the karmic penalty of his financial success is that
he is victim to personal tragedy, and that the answer to his son's medical mystery lies in a reverse of fate rather than medical treatment. Meanwhile, Foreman and Chase prepare to present information on the Dibala case.
6.06: Brave Heart
The team takes on the case of a reckless police detective who has a family history of sudden heart failure that killed his father, grandfather and great-grandfather all at age 40. Though House is not keen on diagnosing the patient without any detectable

6.09: Ignorance Is Bliss
House and the team take on the case of James Sidas, an exceptionally brilliant physicist and author who traded his successful career for a job as a courier. For the ailing patient, intelligence is a miserable burden that has prompted depression and

6.10: Wilson
When an old friend and former patient of Wilson’s exhibits paralysis in his right arm, Wilson puts himself on the case. House wagers Wilson that the patient’s symptoms are attributed to new cancer cells. Wilson accepts even though he is reluctant to

During a day in the life of Princeton Plainsboro's Dean of Medicine, Dr. Lisa Cuddy, the inner workings of the hospital are seen through her eyes. This day proves to be especially trying as Cuddy wrestles with myriad hospital issues and staff disputes
that test her perseverance and skills as an administrator, all while juggling issues in her personal life.
6.15: Private Lives
House and the team take on the case of an avid blogger admitted with sudden bruising and bleeding. From her hospital bed, the patient blogs about her symptoms, doctors and prospective diagnoses to her dedicated band of followers and solicits their advice
on a course of treatment. Such openness leads the team to contemplate the value of privacy, especially after House and Wilson uncover secrets from one another's past. Meanwhile, Chase is coaxed into testing out the dating scene.
6.16: Black Hole
The one where the writers went off the deep end
This episode opens with the usual "House, M.D." title card overlaid with a bizarre computer-generated image taking us way, way out into space, letting us know that we are now in an alternate universe where the show's normal earth-bound science no longer
applies and where House and Wilson are actually (not just ambiguously) a gay couple. Although every season has its clunkers, I used to reassure myself that no episode could ever be as awful as the one in Season 4 where the writers made up their own
non-existent medical condition ("Giovannini's Mirror Syndrome"). I didn't foresee that they might top this with a TECHNOLOGY that doesn't exist. But yes, in this episode, House throws established science out the window and decides the only way to diagnose
his patient is to view her inner thoughts using "cognitive pattern recognition", i.e., using a supercomputer to recreate images from her mind (what's next? The patient is an alien?). Meanwhile, in the subplot, House criticizes Wilson for not knowing how
to "furnish a home," which somehow bothers Wilson enough that he has to complain to Cuddy about his home-decorating shortcomings.
6.17: Lockdown
When a newborn disappears from the nursery, Princeton Plainsboro goes on lockdown, preventing anyone from entering, leaving or moving within the hospital. While House and his team members are trapped in various parts of the building, new insights about
the team's personal histories, relationships and regrets surface.
6.18: Knight Fall
House and the team take on the case of Sir William, a "knight" in a closed-off community of men and women living according to the ideals of the High Renaissance. As the team searches the medieval village for environmental factors contributing to Sir
William's rapidly deteriorating health, Thirteen and Sir William debate the acts that define honor and loyalty, especially in regard to the "queen" of the community, one of Sir William's most frequent visitors. Meanwhile, Wilson starts over with an
ex.
6.19: Open and Shut
House and the team take on the case of a woman Julia, who is in an open marriage and becomes ill during a date with her on-the-side boyfriend. As perplexing as the case is, Julia's happy and healthy, yet polygamous relationship is equally baffling to the
team. Meanwhile, House tests Wilson's relationship with Sam.
6.20: The Choice
The team takes on the case of an ailing groom-to-be who harbors undisclosed secrets from a previous relationship. As his fiancée tries to get answers to her many questions, a frustrated team winnows down the possibilities. Meanwhile, House spends
extra-curricular time with his Princeton Plainsboro colleagues, performing a karaoke rendition of a Gladys Knight & The Pips classic with Foreman and Chase.
6.21: Baggage
During a session with Dr. Nolan, House recounts the case of a woman who arrives at the Princeton Plainsboro emergency room with an unexplained illness and no recollection of who she is. While trying to solve the mystery of the woman's illness, House must
also help her piece together her identity.
6.22: Help Me
Cuddy, House and members of the team join forces with a search-and-rescue team to provide much-needed medical attention at the scene of an emergency.
