I hope House actually does manage to change his life for the better a bit.
Don't want to see him go back to his drug-addict days.

6x03? Wasn't Broken just one episode?
Sorely tempted to vote Excellent right now on the title alone.

^ "Broken" was two one-hour segments and therefore two episodes. In syndicated reruns, it will air as two episodes.
Ah. So it'll be a part 1/part 2 then. I did wonder, but I didn't see any point that made me think there was a natural breakpoint for it to be two parts. And House has only ever had Euphoria as a two-parter with one title before, so I wasn't really expecting another one.
The breakpoint was at the hospital after the superhero had his accident. Nolan said angrily that he was going to transfer House to another facility where he could play his games. House said no, he really wanted help.
Yes. You missed the big two hour season premiere with House in a mental hospital. Here's the discussion thread.
There was also a clear "break point" there followed by another "viewer discretion" warning and, I believe, credits again (though no credits sequence as it was with the first "episode.")
At the very least I'd want to see House go back to his crass, analytical, self that he was in the first couple seasons (rather than the near-caricature he's been the last 2-3 seasons) as long as he's still a snarky-filled, popular-culture reference making genius I'll be happy. I did like the "idea" of him always popping pills (to be the heroin analogy to Holmes) but I guess it's not a vastly important part of his character.
Although it is still worth pointing out that he wasn't an "addict" in the strictest sense as he was able to hold a job and he was in pain and needed the pills to maintain being "normal."
He was a functional addict, in much the same way as a longtime alcoholic can still hold down a job despite knocking over a fifth of vodka every night.
A functional alcoholic is still on a "drug" that isn't needed.
House was taking medication to take away the pain that the hole in his leg where thigh-muscle used to be gave him.

House was abusing medication that he needed in a prescribed dosage to take away the pain. He was most definitely a functioning drug addict.
Exactly. He was using it so much that he was having elaborate hallucinations on a regular basis. He was literally no longer in touch with reality because of his drug use.
Love the video game stuff. Poor Taub! 
Between Halo: 3-D Furry Edition, House and Wilson living together ... this episode is just tailor-made to be turned into truly horrible things by fangirls on the Internet.
I'm serious. Somewhere, there is a middle-aged woman frantically playing and rewinding and playing and rewind House feeding Wilson as we speak.

Thirteen: "This may be the best thing I've ever eaten..."
(her and House exchange looks)
"... and I'm including what you're thinking."
Thirteen eating that was great too. Almost on Kaylee and Strawberry levels.

LOL at Thirteen liking House's cooking. Especially the quote Trekker posted.
Yep...House is going back to the Vicodin eventually. Cooking and Biggest Loser marathons can only help so much...
